    The Last of Us

    As OU correctly points out, viewers don't get the option of supporting good shows. Viewers have the option of supporting streaming services. And 100% of the streaming services are promoting society-destroying bullshit on at least some of their shows. Lets not get high and might about...

    The Pitt

    This is true. I spent a week in a hospital with my dad last year while he was undergoing cancer treatment. Horrifying. I came back and told my wife, if I'm ever injured in North Carolina, I don't care how bad it is. You take me to a hospital in some other state. If I die on the way, I die on...

    The White Lotus

    I agree with this comment in terms of the viewer experience, but its a show about rich people at resorts. Inevitable

    1944

    What makes you think they can't re-use tropes? They've been pretending Indians were peaceful and wise and white men were brutal savages in literally every single Indian story since Dances With Wolves. Why stop now?

    https://undark.org/2025/04/08/melatonin-children-bedtime/ This is a good read about the melatonin epidemic for anyone who isnt familiar. No real new info for those already on board. I think this is going to be a real problem. A powerful hormone with multiple effects, manufactured in a candy...

    Snow White (2024)

    I have no doubt thats just the first in a long line of subversive bullshit. It'll be interracial, LGBTQ, the White Witch did nothing wrong from start to finish. Its weird, I should be madder. These are great childhood memories and some of the last vestiges of Christian storytelling in modern...

    I'm a little confused by the confusion over Apple TV spending. Isnt the answer always "ridiculous salaries"?

    House of the Dragon

    We're rewatching S1 right now. First time through, I was surprised that I was ok with the ridiculous black valyrians. Because like you say, it did make the bastard thing more obvious. But rewatching it I notice something fucked up. Not one single time does anyone refer to their skin color. Its...

    Bruh, I'm sharing old guy tips with my fellow old men. "Poop shaming". Where do you people come up with this shit? Also, sounds like something a weekly pooper would say

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    This is a solved problem. Seriously. If you're only pooping every few days, stop whatever else you have planned for today and solve that problem. Its not OK. You're gonna feel like an entirely different person and regret the wasted years.

    Know what solved the soap dispenser problem forever without any downsides, and was available hundreds of years ago? A fucking bar of soap. I swear to fuck, they are intentionally making everything stupid and gay, and it seems like damn near everyone is just A-OK with it. "Hey this is new so...

    You have a serious reading comprehension issue, friend. My post was like a couple sentences long and not even controversial. Maybe youre dehydrated. I was genuinely confused how both you and Dr Retardo apparently took my post as some kind of argument. Looking back the only thing I can...

    I know a lot of the country has actual severe weather to deal with and this is not meant to poke fun at that. But I'm pretty fucking tired of how modern propaganda has apparently ruined everyone's ability to enjoy normal summer weather. It hits 90 degrees around here and people are freaking...

    Dark Matter

    Solid show. Great scifi and likeable, believable characters. One episode to go. I am having an issue with the multiple Jasons thing though. Maybe they explain more in the finale, but WTF? The implied explanation at this point is that traveling in the box and making at least one choice...

    House of the Dragon

    Its amazing that they can make a show about blond dragon riders, with a bunch of sex, and somehow make it both not hot at all and also kind of boring.

    Sure, some of them absolutely were! Skinny jeans and overly manicured beards would also be a better indicator of faggotry too but I agree with the distinction you're making.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This comment seemed to out of place to me it got me thinking. I've known a lot of dudes with long hair in my life. Exactly zero have been gay. I've met a smaller number of gay guys in my life, but exactly zero of them had long hair. Did you mean to say something about skinny jeans or an...

    My local grocery store made a new rule, only 15 items in self checkout. I've heard of this bullshit. Never thought I'd see the day it came home to my small town. Fuckin sad. Of course the regular checkout lines are full of fucking cunts with less than 15 items, obviously, because fuck you

    You might check out the article. It goes so much farther than that. When I say its a scam, what I mean is that almost none of what gets tossed in the recycling bin, anywhere, gets recycled. But the article and the study it references point out that its actually a much bigger problem than that...

    Starlight looks as disgusting as the character she is portraying. Fucking abortion storylines on TV always, always turn into full-on advocacy for abortion. Not just keeping it legal but advocating it. You're a fucking world famous celebrity with all the resources and opportunities that come...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I never got the impression it only damaged eye tissue. Just that it also especially damaged eye tissue. I interpreted it as some specialized kind of nuclear reaction that caused massive damage ("stone burner") but that also its radiation was especially damaging to eye tissue.

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    I'm trying to come up with another example of an "insult" in this same category as "ok boomer". An "insult" that immediately brings contempt for the speaker and solidarity with the target. I guess calling people "breeders" as an insult is the closest thing I can come up with, but its used far...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Every single streaming app I've ever used had a worse interface than the old pirate streaming sites had. Every one. Zero exceptions. Whats maddening is knowing that the superior format (a text list) is far easier to design. So they're literally spending millions on salary to make the interface...
