    Poll Tyen vs Trex - Choose Your Side!

    A big thank you for the recap. That was genuinely useful. I was leaning toward team Trex. There are obviously great arguments against that position, and theyre honestly both about equal at this point, but shes only a woman. For her to come out equal with Tyen basically means she came out ahead...

    Swamp Donkey, Mom of the year.

    I finally waded through 95% of the thread, you fuckers are hard to keep up with. I have to ask. Are other people besides Tyen doing this "find a random person on the internet to babysit your kids" thing? I cant wrap my head around it.

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    Dont know east of Springfield. I live halfway between Corvallis and Eugene in a tiny town called Monroe. We bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, >2200 sq ft, >2 acres, for 250. Not too rapey.

    Swamp Donkey, Mom of the year.

    To be clear, what you describe sounds like a major problem. I was only responding to the blanket statement that women cant drink if theyre nursing.

    Swamp Donkey, Mom of the year.

    sigh. trex is basically right here. There is a pretty narrow window right before breastfeeding where it actually matters what your BAC is. not white knighting, just sick of people telling pregnant or nursing mothers they have to become teetotalers when the science doesnt support that at all...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    OK another one spawned by the donkey thread. People who misspell words in ways that reveal not only are they an illiterate who has never encountered the word in a written form before, but also that they are a retard who cant even spell it the way its pronounced. Its like OK you cant spell, but...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Fucking sideways videos. Its bad enough motherfuckers feel the need to embed 2 seconds worth of information in a 20 minute video. Now all those videos are sideways, too. I dont understand you dumb shits. You can figure out how to take video on a phone (which typically requires a few correct...

    Swamp Donkey, Mom of the year.

    You know if you hold your phone in the non-retarded orientation you can get videos that dont look like youre peeking in between two boards in a fence, right? I'm more triggered by sideways videos than by the entire rest of this drama.

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    Great area. Just dont live in actual Eugene itself. I live 25 min outside of Eugene and its great. Just accept that Eugene is easily as weird and unlivable as San Fran or Portland. Accept a short commute and you can live in friggin paradise.

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Dude. It was the best and most memorable use of music in any Marvel movie. I only regret they didnt play it again when he entered the fight in Wakanda.

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

    there are major groups of animals that we know existed but have essentially no fossil record for. because fossilization is a rare event that can only preserve some kinds of body parts and body plans. The same will be true for artifacts. Some will last a long time (e.g. pieces of pottery or...

    Westworld

    The sarcastic suggestions made in this thread about the nature of Westworld's mystery are now officially more entertaining than the show itself.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Fuck this explanation. I am gonna retcon this in my own memory of the movies as: Hulk was not just scared, but confused as shit how something could beat him so badly. Its still out of character for the Hulk but not nearly as bad.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Finally saw it. So good. My only complaint was the eyerollingly bad Wakanda Mary Sue shit... oh, so your entire race is just smarter and better at everything? So random lab techs just come up with ideas even Bruce Banner never thought of? Fortunately, the Wakandans also got rolled despite their...

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

    In fairness, we know there were humans on this planet during the period in question. We know humans tend to form civilizations, and that sometimes details of those civilizations are lost to history. I dont think the burden of proof is really equal for theories that require postulating aliens...

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

    Sure, and very few people are skeptical about that kind of stuff. The principles arent crazy. "This plant has some unidentified compound in it that helps with headaches". Scientists can work with that and identify a compound and test its efficacy against headaches. Theres no real conflict...

    Westworld

    I'm convinced that decades from now when we're all plugged into internet v5.0 there will still be people pulling this troll job: "guys, Lost wasnt purgatory, you misunderstood it!" Triggering instant rage in everyone who actually watched the finally episode of that shit show. And I'll still be...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm sorry that the lack of soap makes you so physically tired. Is it the weight of the pan? I am sorry. Its a grammatical error my wife makes a lot so I am preconditioned to be triggered when I encounter it. Carry on. OT, caring for cast iron pans is easy. Rinse after use, drip dry. I am sure...

    Westworld

    "revelry"? yeah, I remember. That update that made all the hosts party and have a good time. That was a good update. OT, every episode I become more and more convinced they need to drop the "mystery" bullshit, put "50 years ago" at the bottom of the screen for flashbacks, and focus on...

    Venom (2018)

    Right, but like I said. The real word that means what theyre trying to say here is "symbiont". It just makes me laugh; its like they made up a different word for mutation instead of using the real word mutation.

    Venom (2018)

    The debate over how to pronounce "symbiote", a made up word that as far as I can tell originated in a print medium (comic books) [the real, biological term is "symbiont"], is internet gold. Debating how to pronounce a made up comic book word thats only ever occurred in a written form. And itd...

    Westworld

    Slow start but I like there the season is going. Dolores was hot as the farmers daughter but so much hotter as the homicidal leader of an android rebellion. My only complaint is a minor one. This show would benefit greatly from an occasional little line of text at the bottom "50 years ago"...

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

    I'm glad to see youve conceded my point and are now using the correct phrasing "like the angels" instead of your incorrect phrasing "become angels". Tuna sandwiches are like hamburgers but do not become hamburgers. I accept your apology and commend your good grace for admitting you were wrong.

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

    So are you going with this cartoon version where you die and go to heaven and become an angel? A view not held by basically any Christian denomination ever? I knew you werent serous about science, logic, or civility but I thought you had at least partial knowledge of the Bible. I was wrong...

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

    That verse is talking about what happens to marriages in heaven. "Like the angels" refers in every interpretation I have ever heard to the sexuality or lack thereof of humans after reaching heaven. Angels are widely considered to be genderless and asexual. I find that reading the surrounding...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Fair point and youre probably right. I guess my question was motivated by the large number of Wakandan characters in the trailer, all of whom look like generic tribesman_001. I wonder whether anyone besides BP himself plays a role in this. In contrast the side characters from Thor standalone...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    That most recent trailer sure makes Wakanda look pretty central to this story. Do I actually have to watch BP to be prepared? If so, how bad is it? IM3 bad? F4 bad? upcoming Teen Titans bad? Help me out.

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

    Excuse me. Lumi is in this thread claiming that human beings got transformed by God into Angels, which is not described anywhere in the Bible and completely contradicts the accounts of what humans and angels are, from the Bible. (Yes, the Bible says a couple people got to skip death and went...

    What are your top 5 funniest movies?

    Hot shots, literally the only movie I've ever paid for in a theater and walked out of. Not because I was offended or anything, but because it was so painfully stupid that literally anything else seemed like a more entertaining use of my time. Learned a valuable lesson about paying for movies...

    3 kids here. Each one is really different. Its like I love each of them the most in their own category. "youre my favorite borderline autistic little computer geek with a random sense of humor" "youre my favorite little irrepressable mischief maker" etc. Unrelated -- every tyen posts these...

    Legion

    Thats me watching the show, in a nutshell. I am still tuning in and enjoying it but I've gotta say, its wearing on me. When literally every scene I am asking "Is this a real person" "Is this the real world or in someones head" "Is this past, present, future, or never" I am starting to find it...

    Deadpool 2 (2018)

    One of the things the Deadpool people do right is escalation in their trailers. The first trailers are good, the later trailers are holy shit amazing. I knew I'd love this movie but I'm with you; I think I may be looking forward to it more than Infinity War now and that is saying something.

    What are your top 5 funniest movies?

    I could find my top 5 on the first page or two of this thread. office space, tropic thunder, etc. I am surprised to see the love two groups of movies are getting naked gun/hot shots/etc best in show/a might wind/etc If you find these movies even a little bit chuckleworthy there is some...

    Lost in Space

    Finished the season. The story got increasingly interesting in the last 2-3 episodes and in the end it was moderately interesting how they set up the next season for truly lost in space. Overall, it was dumb fun. Every episode was had plenty of cringe inducing moments. So much of it was so...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I bet you anything the effect you are describing, of which I am highly skeptical (unhappy parents are worse than divorced parents) is only detectable when the parents are like domestic violence and restraining orders level unhappy. I bet they are comparing the average divorce case with the...

    Lost in Space

    /shrug after countless situations where a gun would have been really friggin handy you point out that once a gun appears on the show, it causes nothing but problems. And you think I'm seeing a political message where non exists? I think Punisher is a show that handled guns in an even handed...

    Lost in Space

    Theyre not on Alpha Centauri. Theyre on an unknown planet being attacked by random dinosaurs and eels and shit. They have the capacity to 3d print a gun but have specifically blocked this ability and even crash landed on this planet, the mom still whines about how guns make her feel unsafe. I...

    Lost in Space

    The more I watch this, the more the anti gun shit pisses me off. Every real life expedition to everywhere: lets bring some guns just in case. There are parts of most modern American cities where youd be an idiot to travel without a gun. But these fuckers traveling to a new planet? "Oh my guns...

    This, so much. Fucking commercials on subscription TV services can eat a dick. We are already paying for the content, just let us watch the goddam content. I dont know how many times I've had a "legal" subscription service for a show and have instead watched a lower resolution version on an...
