    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    So lets recap. 1. They pull an absolutely ridiculous race swap and cast a black dude for the pasty white descendent of Reed Richards 2.

    I'm sure its just a random coincidence that they were unable to find an actor who looks like the character. Twice. I mean there are very few white actors these days, maybe only like 1 or 2 left, and they were probably busy.

    No thats what would happen by default.

    I mean, he's dead. The guy whos superpower was basically being rich and planning for stuff. He died, after a fight they were all anticipating for a long time. I wonder if theres any kind of legal framework where a rich guy can arrange it so his wealth can be distributed in some way after this...

    I have no idea where that specific number came from, but the numbers I've read have been over the course of like a century or so. I don't think anybody said 85% overnight. Ever hear of the black plague? killed what, like 50% of Europe or something? And thats in a population with some...

    What If...?

    You seem to be conflating two very different things. Smallpox blankets are made up revisionist bullshit. The actual dieoff happened hundreds of years earlier. There was a more or less continent wide plague spread (unintentionally and unknowingly) by contact with the earliest settlers -...

    The Fast Food Thread

    There is no defense for bland food. Its an offense that should literally never exist. Not in a school cafeteria. Not in a home cooked meal. And absolutely, definitely NOT in fast food whose only reason to exist is that its supposed to taste good. It has nothing to do with being "real food". It...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I want to argue more about this but find that my brain refuses to dig up enough details about either movie (CM or AM1). Its making it really fucking hard. But I'll say this. Aquaman was just dumb. That was the worst thing about it. I dont care enough to hate anything about it in particular. It...

    Every time this comes up people just dive right into the technical details or the legal details, entirely missing the relevant points. All art is derivative. People dont have ideas; ideas have people. The notion of "stealing an idea" (or an image, or a song) is fundamentally dishonest, a...
