    Was just catching up on this thread, and wanted to highlight your post. My brother-in-law had shown us Stremio earlier this year and I was just like whatever (I usenet everything). But we got it going this week and holy shit is it awesome. It's like Plex and torrenting in one without any of the...

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 4!!

    Fucking hell, I completely missed this thing this year. I thought we used to get a notification or something? This bracket is terrible. Araysar vs. Lanx - Seems like the only viable person left in the whole thing? wellijustdontknow vs. Bandwagon - Would it be ironic if I said I just don't know...

    A Man on the Inside

    We watched the first episode last night. I'm hoping my hypothesis is wrong because it seems super lazy. We'll see.

    Bugonia (2025)

    I was getting super bored with this one up until that point. It just kind of seemed to really drag on. But then the movie just goes all in, and it was great. And like @ubiquitrips said in his review, I was basically on board with however they decided to conclude the thing. Basically anything...

    The Chair Company

    This show has become more and more unhinged with each episode. It kind of seems like each scene is almost a sketch comedy bit that's very, very loosely held together by this main plot. Like the porn store was almost irrelevant to the story, but was really there to just provide some laughs. The...

    All Her Fault

    That's a shame. Wife and I started it the other day and it seems like it had the potential to be decent.

    So economy is actually on the upturn but sentiment is finally catching up way too late?

    Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

    This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...

    We actually just met with some guy to talk about different plans (he was an idiot and didn't provide any help), but the summary is our premiums didn't really change whatsoever. The only thing we're considering is changing from a gold plan because we can't quite figure out what it's providing us...

    I'm not sure I buy these numbers, otherwise the current model of massive hospitals buying up the regionals and building massive upscale compounds wouldn't exist.

    Ashes of Creation

    I mean, if we're being honest, even in games like Arc Raiders it puts people off the game. I'd say the only place it's actually ever been successful is battle royales, the CoD/BF franchises, and for some reason Eve. Outside of that, pvp is just toxic every time.

    An Act? Sounds like something Congress would have to pass, which means this is likely just more hot air. I don't necessarily blame Trump for it, but it doesn't fix anything.

    Landman

    C'mon now, she's a boss bitch. She's way smarter than her husband who became a billionaire from nothing. She learned it all through osmosis and then became better because she's a woman. And she's much more cutthroat and ruthless than he could ever hope to be.
