    My keyboard has buttons just like it did in 1998.

    True Detective

    Decided there was no reason to continue season 3. Booooring. 1 episode into season 4. This is a completely different show than seasons 2 or 3. A much, much better show.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    What? Guess I didnt notice that season existed. WTF Daredevil was pretty watchable but WTF, they really never explained how he's still alive? It'd be like having Iron Man just randomly show up and start chillin with the Avengers. Dude was dead.

    The Bear

    What in the actual fuck are you talking about? I eat tons of bacon, my comment had nothing to do with fat phobia. Raw egg whites are gross.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    He showed up already in She Hulk, right? Did they explain how the fuck he's not dead? I thought he was crushed under a falling building or something at the end of his series / the defenders. I dont see how the superpower of "seeing without your eyes" gets him out of that one.

    The Bear

    Partially raw eggs like in Sydney's omelet or that video shown above, are fucking disgusting. I know its the official fancyass French way to do it. But its gross and nobody wants that shit. Serve that shit in a restaurant and its getting sent back 9 times out of ten. I don't care that its...

    True Detective

    Yes, really. This forum has an excellent track record on TV and movie recommendations. I have a hard time thinking of a case where the consensus got it wrong. The only exceptions I can come up with are really debatable, like the board consensus was right about the show overall but gave it too...

    Its not a bad strategy at all. If theres one thing the FoH consensus consistently gets right, its TV/movies.

    If they passed it today I'd have 20 years before it would affect me. Maybe I'll get lucky and die before then!

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I sincerely appreciate the attempt to help. But that car is 20 years newer than any car Ive ever driven, and the wrong model. Chrysler town and country. The day I get in a car with something called a "Uconnect infotainment system" I'm gonna get right the fuck back out. I hate this gay earth...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    The rest of the book was flawed but readable. Itd have been tolerable as the not-very-good 2nd book in a trilogy. The fairy sex is what keeps me from wanting to reread it and absolutely makes me never recommend it to anyone.

    automatic bullshit built into cars that you can't turn off. We picked up a new used minivan to replace our old one. This mother fucker automatically locks all the car doors as soon as you start, but never automatically unlocks them for you later. cause fuck you, thats why. turns on fucking...

    Ancient Civilizations

    AFAIK the biggest real concern for magnetic field reversals is the whole biosphere gets hit with much higher levels of cosmic radiation. Along with changes to weather patterns and in some cases increased volcanism. Again I am not making the claim that it leads to mass extinction or anything...

    Ancient Civilizations

    To be fair, proponents of the catastrophic magnetic field shift stuff are usually talking about a complete reversal of the magnetic field (N to S), which has happened repeatedly throughout the earth's history. The best studied recent example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laschamp_event...

    Investing General Discussion

    Living a large fraction of my life in poverty immunized me to this. I only recognize what you're talking about because I've heard other people talk about it. When I buy something - literally anything without any exceptions at all - my immediate reaction is fuck, I should have spent less, that...

    True Detective

    All of this makes S4 sound more appealing, if they're gonna get rid of the "omg did it really happen or not? we'll let YOU decide" aspects and just decide what kind of story they want to tell instead. Plus it sounds like a great excuse to rewatch S1. Tried S2 and fuck I don't think I can make...

    The Fast Food Thread

    That series of pics is hilarious. Cause I looked at the last one first, and it looked like some kind of vile medical emergency gore. My immediate reaction was mild nausea and oh fuck scroll past that shit. Then I looked at the 3 pics in the correct order and the last pic looks friggin...

    Yeah thats my current favorite too. Look, everybody can rant about my hyperbolic language on the end of civilization, but I'm not even opposed to shortcuts. Fuck yeah I'll use chicken broth canned or paste any day, I'm not insisting on making my own stock each time. I'm saying dont show me a...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm not arguing its not tasty. We make green bean casserole the traditional bullshit way every thanksgiving, using canned soup, pre-packaged french fried onions, etc. I'm just saying it doesnt count as a recipe, or cooking, any more than following the instructions on the back of the chef...

    I only removed one word to FTFY The downfall of western civilization began around the time that cooking magazines started pretending that combining a can of premade soup with some other ingredient counted as a "recipe".

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Its hilarious watching them correctly state the cause of the problem, then conclude that the solution is to just dumb everything down. We get what we deserve.

    The Boys

    Mindblowing. Imagine youre a hotass blond chick, a literal TV star. Everywhere you've gone, your whole life, men have been barely able to speak in your presence. You get everything you want just handed to you. Your face is plastered on ads and magazine covers and everyone talks about how hot...

    I'm confused by this. I think we did it differently. I'm not saying you did it wrong of course, I dont know shit about rice. But definitely differently. I don't understand why, but its not ready until about 40+ minutes after the timer says its ready. I guess it needs to steam for a while...

    Rice is tasteless bullshit BUT if you need to make it, instant pot rice is perfect. And it literally just requires adding equal amounts of rice and water, then pressing the button that says rice. Save the effort for the real food.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Every picture I've seen of Donnelly (who I looked up in response to that post) shows her with a very clear butt chin. its somehow distorted and not apparent in the pic above. Butt chin is never ok. just say no

    This is ridiculous, edgelord, knees too sharp bullshit. People can vary in terms of how much hotter Dunst was than that ghetto replacement. 100x? 1000x? 20x? Its fine, opinions vary. But context is important here. One was cute or hot depending on your taste. The other one is just fucking...

    @Lanx, apologies if you've posted it before. I want to try char siu. Recipes online are so incredibly different from each other - they often share only like 1/3 of the ingredients, its like they're each making their own different dish and just using the same name. I know you've posted about...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    You guys are just messing around with this jellyfish bullshit right? I don't think I've ever seen a less convincing ""UFO video"" and I've read most of this thread. Its literally a smudge on the lens. Wait'll you get a load of the UFOs I see through my car windshield every summer! But they...

    For All Mankind

    Fair point, but we live in a world where "Epstein didnt kill himself" is considered a conspiracy theory. It doesnt seem that setting up accurate and realistic suicide scenes is necessary at all in the real world so I'm fine with it being the same in TV world.

    Interesting, Non Political News

    I don't know these wrenches but I can take a guess. There are a billion or so devices connected to the internet right (*) now that have no reason to be. Why are they? They're that way because their designers didnt want to bother with buttons or any of that "old fashioned boomer tech", they...

    For All Mankind

    I dont disagree with anything bad said about S4. But I'm just saying, they could still redeem this show for me if it ended in a big disaster. People making hilariously bad decisions for hilariously dumb reasons? I live in Clown World; thats the default expectation. If it all ends in a big...

    This morning I was reading this thread and thinking, ya know, its been a while since we've had a hawk kill. Maybe I was blaming them unfairly. This afternoon I pulled into my driveway and there directly in front of my parking spot, a red tailed hawk was eating my daughters favorite chicken on...
