My favorite was always listening to apple fanboys try to explain why no really, it makes perfect sense that to eject a disk you throw it in the trashcan. Apple users arent real people, they're like the lizards in V or something

This. Every time some idiot producer makes a movie where the characters use an "advanced" computer interface that involves them physically swinging their arms around, I'm sitting there thinking goddam do you have any idea how tiring that would get?

Dynamic Range helps a little on my TV, its noticeable, but doesnt eliminate the problem. I just watch 100% of everything with subtitles on. Problem solved. Its not a technology issue. Its a sound mixing issue. There are people in hollywood who think really loud music and sound effects with...

The reasons to visit Arbys are, in order of importance 1. Gyros, the only fast food Gyros available and while not authentic street food still damn tasty 2. the new crinkle cut fries, one of the only fast food fries out there that is still properly seasoned 3. Jamocha or Creamsicle milkshakes...

I don't think its fair to call it a murderous rage. It wasnt some emotional moment. The TVA fucked her entire life since she was a child. She spent literally her entire life running from them and vowing revenge. Now, given the chance to get that revenge, she finds the source of all her...

Sending that chick to a dermatologist would be like repainting my old Hyundai. The transmissions shot, the battery's dead, it technically runs but we let the registration lapse cause it can't get into 5th gear anymore, so now it just sits there. No responsible car painting shop would give it a...

Theres a lot of things where I don't want automation but man, this day can't come fast enough. It will be the epitome of fast food, its ultimate form. Our food will travel from a corporate factory to a truck to a restaurant, never coming anywhere close to a human being in the process. Perfect...

To be fair, though, I never said only Euros do it. I just said stop it.

The Euro habit of using commas instead of decimal points rustles my jimmies on a damn near daily basis. They insist on doing it, over and over. I don't know why we let them get away with it. The extraneous "u"s in their spellings don't cause any misunderstanding. Their silly over the top...

I dunno, did you never watch the Cosby Show? We watched it as a family every week. I figured a lot of us had, and were familiar with it. When Theo went off to college, he went through a smarmy know it all phase. The physical appearance and mannerisms of He Who Remains are a dead ringer for...

In my experience, a lot of it has to do with setting. I don't know a single person from childhood who stayed in their home town and didnt become a complete clusterfuck. I don't know if moving changes you or if the kind of people who are destined to become clusterfucks are just scared to...

He beat the evil, universe conquering Kangs. Presumably they threw all kinds of violence at him but he was fine. He's been doing this for millennia at least. Again, we all get the distinction between multiverse versions. We're sitting here talking about a show that had Alligator Loki and Girl...

I mean, if you listen to his speech he's killed countless enemies, fed them to the big cloud monster that he made into a pet/weapon. This version of him, not some other version. This is supposedly the version that beat all the other ones and put an end to it. I get that he's not supposed to be...

Is this gonna be another hairsplitting over Kang the Conqueror vs He Who Remains? Look, I don't know what he was like in the comics. I'm just saying that directing the ultimate power to act like Theo Huxtable back from college and full of himself was weird. I dunno what they were going for...

I loved almost everything about this show but having the ultimate power ruling the timelines turn out to be Theo Huxtable was so anticlimactic. To be clear, I don't mean the fact that he's black, I mean the fact that he was playing Theo Huxtable. Nothing mysterious or awe inspiring or...

This poll needs more details. Are we talking purely about looks (like judging this based on pictures) or real life, where smell also plays a role? If the latter, anyone whos lived around any minorities knows theres only one choice on this poll.

Thank you, this is what I needed to avoid watching it myself If I avoid the last episode I get to preserve a tiny little bit of good memories of the books, right? fuck everyone involved with this show right in the ear canal

How much does dirt cost, though? Half the complaints could have been fixed by having the director say "wait, roll around in the dirt before this next scene". Outdoor filming in white clothing? Shit, they'd have to take special precautions to stay as white as they stayed. Just letting the extras...

Random update on our pigs: About 120 lbs now. That little solar electric charger is keeping them contained, no problem. I've witnessed a few times when they re test it, always funny. Anyone who said Idaho Pasture Pigs graze, they don't root, that guy lied. They're endearing even at this size...

I'm pretty sure the Ogier was actually shorter than some of the humans in some of these scenes. They've broken this in so many ways I can't even blame it all the the woke-turned-up-to-11 casting choices. I'll never watch this again, until next week

Top tier Marvel movie.

goddammit, you're doing this to me again. They fucking cast Min as an older Asian woman? Gotta see how terrible this turns out (spoiler - it'll turn out fucking awful and I can't help it) FML

Yeah, before the wokening made them start casting ugly chicks in everything, people used to comment how unrealistic it was that every young adult drama was cast entirely with beautiful people. Real college classes don't look like that. etc. Then here we have a setting where the source material...

This. It pisses me off. They don't seem to understand how percentages work. If the food gets more expensive, so does the tip. There is no justification for increasing the percentage. 15% is tipping, any requests above that are the opening line in a scam.

I've gone through this cycle every week since it first aired. I'm not watching again... read the discussion... oh fuck that sounds terrible, I've gotta see that... fuck that was awful, I'm not watching again... Don't make my mistake, save yourself before its too late

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/elon-musk-says-there-aren-t-enough-people-birthrate-could-threaten-human-civilization/ar-AARz2lM?ocid=msedgntp Its refreshing to see the correct take for once, when nearly every other piece on this subject gets it backwards.

My thing is, how the fuck are people supposed to know? Waitresses have always worked this way. Everyone knows you tip your waitress. But that first time you walk into some random barber shop how were you supposed to know that the tip jar on their counter is built into their pay structure...

what the fuck I tried to explain this once but I will do it again. When you roast meat, part of the deliciousness leaves the meat. A pretty large fraction, if we're being honest. That good stuff goes into the drippings. When you make gravy, you return all that goodness back to where it...

What a dumb fucking take. When kids watch MCU movies and see the good guys beating up the bad guys, they imagine themselves in their shoes, as heroes beating up the bad guys. This is Right and Normal. What exactly is your goal in exposing kids to gay "love scenes"? What are you hoping...

Agreed. What I don't remember in the books, though, was Lan doing a ridiculous emotional crying in public scene over it. Someone can correct me, but I remember Lan as always being a classical stoic type. That scene was so over the top my even my wife who never read the books was like wtf, whys...

https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/12/01/marvel-studios-executive-claims-thor-love-and-thunder-pushes-the-boundaries-of-whats-comfortable-and-what-should-be-expected/ goddammit, will this be the second MCU movie not fit for children? I will not expose my children to degenerate gay shit no...

There comes a time when laziness outweighs the 4.99 a month or whatever. There was a time I pirated everything. What a pain in the ass. (This is the part where someone will post about an "easy" way to pirate that only requires 48 steps of setting up software, connecting by a secret eastern...

You did this just to fuck with me but thats what this place is for. No, goddamit, its "Over at the Goldbergs". The phrase refers to the family called Goldbergs, not their house. Since Goldbergs is a plural (not a possessive) it does not get an apostrophe. I do enjoy that your post in which you...

Well said: gravy is always the star of the show at Thanksgiving. I think people who don't like Turkey just don't understand Gravy. I don't want to be offensive here, but I think they may actually be using fake gravy from a packet or can or something. Eating the meat without the gravy, shit -...

Didnt realize this was a thing but now I'm rustled People who put an apostrophe in the last name to refer to a family, e.g. "The Smith's" or "The Goldberg's". There is a group of people who think that even though you don't normally put an apostrophe in a plural, they think this is the exception...

No I get the Trollocs. No major complaints about the ferry scene, seems like they got most of the key parts. I'm talking about the trope in general. It gets used in pretty much every fantasy story at some point. We've got characters who can do crazy magic, solo 10 foot tall monsters, but...

Book vs TV debates aside, the whole trope about "oh no how will we cross the river" gets so over used in these stories. It only works if you are on a long journey with a lot of gear, or in icy weather, or something. Otherwise, "umm, maybe we should just swim?"

The overly emotive tones of voice on NPR. Its like goddamnit lady, you're describing a piece of legislation, it really isnt appropriate to emote as if you're doing a dramatic reading of Emily Dickinson. And along with it, the constant need for approval from the person they're talking to. "So...

On todays episode of Young People Are Retarded: https://www.insidehook.com/article/internet/gen-z-question-marks I'm going to make extra sure to use lots of punctuation in all communications with young people from now on. Good God, this generation is a bunch of fucking pussies. Stressed out...
