“Action movies in the ADS”? Huh? Did they mean 80s? (eighty-ess, in computer speak)

Considering his lip movements didn’t match the dialog, can we be sure this isn’t more AI crap?

He was a bigot who actively worked to strip LGBT people of their rights. Fuck him.

I appreciate how Chuck approached aging and the health problems that crop up.

It has to be harder for any athlete to see his physical skills and strength decline with age.

Aging bothers everyone. I used to recover quickly from a vigorous workout. Now I wake up at night aching. It can take several days to fully recover. I never had an elite athlete’s skills at any point in my life. I’m working hard now just to stay reasonably fit.

Chuck was still exercising and training right up till the end.
