    Carnival Row

    The complaint I have about the first season is there seemed to be a lot of divergent storylines that never really come together. There are a lot of characters in this show and some of them are merely there to further the plot, but in kind of a meaningless way. Or so it would seem at the moment...

    Just finished this. Welp, didn't see that coming.

    Carnival Row

    Yea the impression I get is the fae isolated themselves because they are much older and had no need for human invention or interaction with other races. The humans then invaded their lands to plunder the resources and the fae found themselves holding their hats in their hands. But the humans...

    Carnival Row

    I'm not finished with it yet but the story seems to have a lot of depth and is not at all concerned with nobility and martyrdom fighting against despotic fascism or anything like that. You'll be able to draw your own opinions when you start watching it but the story and characters have a lot of...

    Carnival Row

    In the 5 episodes I've watched it's a typical class based society during a time of war. In a high fantasy setting mixed with a bit of steampunk. You are free to inject whatever your own social beliefs and hangups are into the story all you want. One question. How many episodes has Lachius...

    I'm only 4 Eps in but the acting has been top notch as well. Orlando Bloom is very good in this so far

    The main fae actress looks great naked. So the show definitely has that going for it. Possibly sand snake levels of fantastic tits.

    Carnival Row

    What you call "SJW" is a tale as old as time. This isn't some new formula for storytelling. Class systems are a fact of life. And this show is definitely drawing on Victorian era British class structures. If you wanna treat it as some high fantasy allegory for Trump's America then by all...

    Carnival Row

    I said it about 10 minutes into episode 3. Before the explanation they had no technology and before the pact showed up in their goblin death machines. It still doesn't explain why the fae run and hide and the armies of the burge don't arm the fae so they can fight. They had those stupid molotov...

    Carnival Row

    On episode 3 now and I like the setting. Production value is way up there too. Interesting story and good acting so far. The only thing I can't figure at the moment is how the fuck a race of people that can fly, and have mountain fortresses could be conquered by men.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Oh I definitely would not want to work in that office, it's miserable and all the people are awful to work with. But our other office is in CT and it's much more expensive here. So they staff the smaller, development talent teams in CT and everything else is in Edina. Including most of the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My company's HQ is in Edina Minnesota. Not because it's where a boatload of technical talent is, but because it's so fucking cheap to hire insufficient talent that they can churn through while writing it off to offset the cost of the real talent in my Connecticut office. Acting like they're all...

    I'm all the way up to season 5 on my rewatch and goddamn. The dude who plays Bubbles is one of the best actors of our generation. Andre Royo. Fuckin bubs steals the show.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'd laugh at you poor saps trying to play this but honestly I really am surprised at how bad it's going. If nothing else people should be able to at least log in and play the fucking game. But hey, at least you guys are getting to know everyone else who can't even log in. Community!!

    Dave Chappelle

    It's all just a joke, and expecting a comedian to be on top of everything instead of just making jokes about shit just means you probably have a terrible sense of humor. Black comedians joking about racial divides is hardly exclusive to Dave Chappelle. The "Just Say No" bit was hilarious...

    It's Dave's new style. He's very political now. Some of it is hilarious, some of it is cringey.

    The only thing I'm confident about in that whole love triangle situation is the writers have done a damn good job making it uncertain. Her separate reactions at the end of S1 when they both show up, right before it fades to black? Fuck cliffhangers and fuck those writers for making it so...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Eh maybe Rogue One wasn't a good movie. I don't know. But expectations and previous impressions affect a movie going experience and Rogue One is the only actual fucking Star Wars movie we've gotten since Empire. I liked Rogue One. Maybe my opinion is affected by previous installments, but...

    Ballers (HBO show with The Rock)

    This show sucks, and is a testament to terrible taste in entertainment. This show is on season 5 but The Brink got cancelled after 1. Deadwood after 3. Fuck everyone in this thread who thinks this lowest common denominator garbage is good. I bet all of you watch Billions too.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I'm still listening to the Fruit Bats "Absolute Loser" album from 2016 constantly, and I was listening to it the day it released. It has a lot of recognizable influence and is just simple songwriting married with simple, good melody.

    So your position has changed from "I know I'm right" to "Well, interestingly now that I've looked into I can't find any evidence to support my opinions" People don't trade ETF/Index funds a lot. They sit on them. They let the market play over the long term without worrying if they lost a few...

    Good Eats: The Return

    Guess you never watched the original show if you thought the history of the food part of it was new and "worrysome". By the way Alton Brown is a gun loving homesteader. He's the Ted Nugent of fine dining.

    Alright, everyone can safely ignore you because you have no idea how investing... or math works. Got it. You also didn't look at any individual fee, or look at what a lot of Fidelity and Vanguard fees are for accounts with $10k or more in holdings are. Yeah, that's right. Close to, and in some...

    I'm definitely playing a PvE server if I play this. Fuck dealing with all the people who have way more time than I do camping me at every interval while I try to enjoy this game. This will be the first time in my WoW career I roll on a PvE server. But I'm no spring chicken anymore.

    Have you even looked at the actual fees of Vanguard and Fidelity ETF/Index funds in the last ~10 years? Are you kidding me?

    Since we don't have a golf thread. I'm playing in my Club Championship this weekend. I won it here in 2012 and have my nice crystal and I was playing well today through 15. Then I shot 9 over on the last 4 to take myself completely out of contention going in to tomorrow (2 day stroke play). If...
