So everyone hated the game plot, but they will also be mad if the TV show deviates from it? Okay.

I wonder too. People who played the game seem to expect Ellie to go on a John Wick style revenge crusade and that seems to be her first reaction but hopefully there will be more to it than that. There are a thousand movies where revenge is the plot but I don't think it really works out that...

I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same for my kid, but that doesn't make it morally right, especially from the perspective of an outsider. Abbey may not even know what her father was going to do to Ellie. To her Joel is the guy that massacred what might have been the one hope for...

That's a pretty simple minded view of the morality of the story. Sacrificing one person for the salvation of humanity is the rational thing to do. Killing 20 people to save one is pretty insane. We are set up to side with Joel and Ellie but both sides are in the gray here. The fireflies were...

Yes. You are arguing something that no one else in the thread was talking about as if it refuted something I said. That's true.

You should stop watching.

It did have multiple gay sex scenes with extra loud sucking noises.

They're probably full of shit. People said that after every major death in game of thrones but they all kept watching.

“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”—Leviticus 19:34 (NIV) Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some...

Nice collection of strawmen there. Better luck next time.

The meme was specifically saying it didn't care about Christian values smart guy. You can disagree with him on what those are on a completely different topic but that isn't what I was replying to.

You don't have to care about it, but a pope that didn't support Christian values would be pretty fucking ridiculous no?

Yeah, caring about the poor. What an asshole.

I don't know but I pee in my yard all the time and the deer still come right in. I've heard of people putting up a two-tier electric fence with one low wire and one higher one to keep deer out but I haven't tried it. A guard dog is the best but that's hard in a populated area and sometimes it...

Deer love to murder trees. They ripped all the branches off of my little apple tree I planted last year. Luckily the cherry tree survived. Probably because it was closer to the house.

The whole concept of Door Dash is insane to me. Especially when you see people posting receipts for their $30 burrito after the delivery fee. Doesn't matter for me though since I live 50 miles from any restaurants so no one is delivering to me anyway.

The prices on some of these fancy frozen pizzas are nuts. Why would you pay $12 or $15 for a frozen pizza when you can get delivery from dominoes/pizza hut/little Caesars for $10?

It might be too late at her age but everyone should have nursing home insurance as they get older. I think the cut-off is 79 but if you are 75 and have significant health issues they may not take you or the premiums are going to be high. Medicare won't pay for nursing home care unless you have...

Just ask your mom if she has an estate plan and what it is. I'm sure if she's sitting on a lot of money it's probably already occurred to her that anyone she's dating might be in it for the money. Hell, setting up a will and trust that leaves whatever cash she doesn't spend to her kids would...

I think doing all that would take me about 6 years, which means it would really take me 18 years.

Indeed. I don't know a single person that has a pool.

In that case I would like 5 pools please.

It is pretty weird that you can tell them "That is completely wrong" and they will be like "Oh yeah you're right" and then spit out the correct answer.

I thought they made it pretty clear that he let her win. That said, the scene is probably setting the stage for her to do it in a real fight later in the season.

It must be disappointing to learn that you don't have what it takes to slice potatoes.

It does seem to be a theme on this show that everybody gets corrupted by money. Of course the rich people are, but as soon as the plebs get their hands on some cash they are just as bad or worse. Probably pretty accurate.

Facebook marketplace is the only way to do classified ads that anyone reads around here. If you are looking at an ad for something and you go to another tab to say, look up the price of the item new or something, when you come back to the tab you left the post you were looking at is gone and...

I made my own chili powder in the blender once and the first thing I did was take the lid off and give it a big sniff. Not a good choice.

People use these things in milking stantions, but this is only for cattle that are tame and calm. If they start freaking out in one of these, they will probably break it, which can be a dangerous situation.

It's really nice to at least have a head catch somewhere. If you look around at auctions/craigslist/facebook marketplace you might pick one up pretty reasonably. Something like this can be operated by one person. I wouldn't call it easy to use but it gets the job done.

Flies are tough. Especially in a small area where you can't move the cattle away from their own feces which is where flies lay eggs. Ivermectin is mainly for internal parasites but I've heard it can help with flies as well. Oilers and dust bags are kind of old fashioned. We used them when I...

What service doesn't do this? Netflix? I think everything I watch comes out this way. I'm not a wealthy man but I find all this crying about having to spend $20 on 7 hours of entertainment plus whatever else you might want to watch on Max for 2 months to be a bit pathetic.

Burning at low temp and/or with wet wood will produce creosote with hard wood as well. We have 3 houses on the ranch that all burn pine and pretty much nothing else and have for decades. The majority of people around here are the same. It's not like I'm a stickler about cleaning the chimney...

This is a myth. We have burned pine exclusively for my entire life and never had any problem aside from having to sweep the chimney every couple of years. It's just people who live in hardwood areas being snobs.

My Onkyo died after 3 years but I read that it was a failing particular to that specific model that had defective capacitors in it. I toyed with the idea of replacing the capacitors but I knew that in reality that would mean it would sit on my work bench for 3 years and THEN I would throw it...

I feel the same way about ranch pizza as any other white sauce. It might taste delicious, but stop calling it pizza, because that shit is not pizza.

He dates a heavyset woman of color. If that sort of thing doesn't send you into a rage then it's not "beyond terrible" but it's not as good as the original show because the book wasn't about the Raylan Givens character and they just sort of shoe-horned him in to make it a sequel when it was...

Looks like it worked just fine. Soapy water works fine too though, and less chance of setting your house on fire.

I don't know the brand from the picture but you may be right. I just Google image searched it. The one I have is made by Husqvarna, the Canadian chainsaw manufacturer. Seems very well made and reasonably priced. https://www.husqvarna.com/us/axes/hookaroon-sappie/
