    1883

    eh, I guess I see your point on Beth's abortion, if no one knew about it (at that time) besides the two most morally fucked people on the show, there was little room for an ethics discussion. But I can't agree on the 1883 "hey mom I'm gonna have some premarital sex" discussion. Both mom and...

    1883

    Great show. Both this and Yellowstone share a specific flaw, though. They depict groups that are/were extremely conservative in comparison to Hollywood. So they end up making some stupidly unrealistic omissions. If a farmers daughter in 1800s wanted to fuck a cowboy, there would at least be a...

    The Woman King (2022)

    This is fucked up. There is absolutley zero Latinx or Pacific Islander representation in this movie. In 2022? Yikes Whats worse, every person in the trailer appeared to be Cis. Are you kidding me right now??!! Erasure is VIOLENCE

    1883

    Yeah, I dont get the dialogue complaint. John Dutton has some great lines. The kind of lines where you go shit, I've been thinking that same thing but hadnt quite phrased it so perfectly. Maybe you just have to be a grumpy ass old man in real life to appreciate it?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I misunderstood your complaint. If you find and replace "?" in Excel it treats "?" as a wildcard and replaces everything in the document. Obviously undo fixes this but still, what in the actual fuck. If I was searching for "*" or "." I might stop and ask myself if I needed an escape for this...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Whats even worse is in Excel, if you do find and replace for a question mark, it does the same goddam thing In what kind of backwards, degenerate shitfuck universe is "?" a wildcard?

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

    Everyone gets excited about the propulsion systems and maneuverability of these crafts. Me, I think the cloaking systems are the real gold mine. Imagine a cloaking device so reliable you can joy ride in the sky on a planet where everyone carries a high resolution camera in their pocket, but...

    Thought this was a good writeup of the 5G / airlines conflict https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-airlines-can-solve-their-5g-problem/ What I don't get, still, is why the frequencies known to interfere with radar altimeters were ever considered fair game for 5G in the first place...

    The Fast Food Thread

    TVP (texturized vegetable protein) can make a pretty decent ground beef substitute. I grew up hardcore vegetarian; ate a shitload of TVP and tofu. Fake sausage (like Morningstar farms) is actually good. Different than real sausage but honestly not a bad substitute at all. Never had any other...

    The Fast Food Thread

    While it is adorable - truly touching - that you went to the trouble of researching ingredients and copy pasting them here for us to read, you might have saved yourself a little time by reading my post in the first place. Reading comprehension saves time, in the end. The point, obviously, was...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    If someone were to list all the pros and cons of modern smartphones and take a survey on FoH in say, 1998, I wonder how the poll would go. The same fraction of people who willingly carry government surveillance devices on their person at all times day and night are gonna JUMP at the chance to...

    Non-Fungible Tokens, and how they are a non-fungible store of value like land.

    This is something thats been pissing me off for a few years. The government takes taxpayer money to provide a service. They they take *additional* taxpayer money to advertise that service. The service we're already paying for. We've seen this repeatedly with USPS over the last couple of...

    How man emails do you deal with professionally?

    what the actual fuck. Texts are worse in every way than emails. 1. you still have to type your reply, but now its on a goddam tiny screen with no actual keys instead of a normal keyboard 2. While theres a few raging faggots out there who expect you to respond to emails within minutes to...

    Yellowstone

    If you hated the music in Yellowstone you have terrible taste in music. I mean, the music isnt a dominant theme but its all pretty standard country and alt country. Half the time I turn to my wife and say "this show just uses my pandora playlist as the soundtrack"

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    This is what will convince people - 99.99% of people - to do it. Thats about the fraction of people that think you can't function in today's world without a smartphone. They mean this. They actually think itd be difficult to function without a smartphone. They'll say exactly the same thing...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I don't know whats so difficult to understand. Its like you're arguing against the entire concept of a recipe or a dish. "Anything can be a pizza as long as its got a flat crust!!" I try to parody your position and I can't because its already at the farthest extreme. It also sounds like you...

    Fried tofu - if you manage to get a crispy texture on the outside - can be very tasty. With that said, tofu is futuristic starvation rations invented by starving Chinese peasants. Its literally protein extracted from soybeans pressed into a congealed mass of flavorless, textureless protein...

    If you're just gonna call anything with noodles lasagna and anything on a flat crust pizza, why even use words at all? Just call it all nom nom or something, since you're already loosening the definitions until they loose all value. The line of thought youre promoting leads inevitably to...

    The Mandela Effect

    The funny thing is, given how the past couple of years have gone, it wouldnt even surprise me a little to find out that Mandela actually did die in prison and everything he supposedly did after that was faked/body doubles/etc. I'm not saying theres any reason to believe that currently. I'm...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Nuggets arent food anyway, the texture is like eating a sponge. Taco Bell ground beef and McDonalds Hamburgers are more convincing imitations of actual meat. But purely in terms of quantity, if they were chicken fingers or something, about 6 nuggets mass seems right. 10 is holy shit...

    FF was the absolute silliest comic book team I can think of. Those costumes. That flying car. That leader with the "my power is I'm stretchy" power. But such great villains. I don't know if FF can ever be successfully adapted to film. But if it is, it seems like theres gotta be a comedic...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I love this thread until it gets into one o fits competitive eating phases. The typical fast food combo meal is, famously and hilariously, too much food. I'm referring here to one combo. Like a burger, a side of fries, and a drink. The thought of eating more than one at a time is fascinating...

    Non-Fungible Tokens, and how they are a non-fungible store of value like land.

    This is exactly what I thought once I realized how NFTs worked. You don't own the server hosting the image - whats to stop the person hosting the image from swapping it to something illegal? Or just taking the server down? I'm not even talking about their value as investments. The entire "own...
