I don't disagree with you about the rising costs, of course, but portion size has never been the problem. If you're not full - almost uncomfortably full - after a standard sized combo meal at any fast food place, somethings wrong with this picture and its not the restaurant. Most standard...

It seemed pretty clear to me she was a demon not the devil. But I dunno, maybe after too many seasons of Supernatural I just assume things like that.

From episodes 1-7 or so, it was clear this was nowhere near the quality of previous work from this group. Hill House etc. were great; even Midnight Mass with its flaws was pretty great. This wasnt great, but it was watchable. It included lots of Poe references, and the politics was kept to a...

what the fuck. you pour that shit off, you don't mix it in. stay away from my containers of sour cream you sick freak

yeah I miss the good old days when candy was a nutritious and healthy food

This is something that bugs me frequently in multiverse stuff -- the insistence by some fans that there must be an infinite number of universes. It breaks everything if you start to look at it too closely, and isnt necessary. Better to say theres a whole shit ton of different universes but not...

Its just in the setup phase so the only people posting about it are the haters edgelording. Great show, no complaints about this season, they're clearly building to something.

tomato, tomahto. the real question is how she transitions from the boy in SNW to the woman in TOS

I'm pretty much dead center of the path..... and its cloudy as shit with predictions for 100% cloud cover all day. fml

Yeah. Anime is just so agressively cringe inducing. It could be the most wholesome and creative stories in the world and 30 seconds in I'd still be like "fuck this shit". Amazing that they've managed to make an adaptation thats this watchable.

Most of the way through this now with my wife and wishing we'd watched with the kids, I think theyd get into it. I'm shocked at the lack of gayness and race bullshit. What is this, just some kind of fun little story without far left propaganda?

I'm still being assured by "experts" on this forum that inflation is actually only 1.9%.

I have to ask our resident Brits here, is this a real thing? Because wow Pic not related

Can we add another category? I'm sure there are parasites waiting to snatch up more real estate investments who hope it crashes. I'm sure there are people who thought real estate was some kind of god given guaranteed profit who don't want it to crash. Maybe theres a third category too...

Alternatively, you could enjoy the books, beloved by millions, and skip what may turn out to be the absolute pinnacle of woke shit adaptations

Hmm, hexagonal like the cells in beehives. This proves a race of intelligent beepeople once roamed the earth

Every image I've seen of this is hilariously bad. Brie and Black Marvel always look so bored and a little ashamed. Muslim Marvel looks like shes a decked out gamer girl at cosplay who is just this moment starting to realize how cringe it all is. Can't imagine how hilarious their performances...

Fair. I don't actually have a big bone to pick with the notion that these funny shaped rocks were shaped by people. Just with all the speculation that flows from that point.

Thats a very good example of the kind of absolute horse shit I'm talking about. Its literally a funny shaped rock. And from that, they spin some whole just-so story about the civilization that made it. I'm on board with ancient civ but shit like this should be laughed out of the field not...

My house was built my retards. My kitchen vent is connected to the master bathroom vent. When you fry in the kitchen the bathroom smells like oil. Thankfully it doesnt go the other way too. Its just about the only reason I'll someday agree to remodel the kitchen.

yeah the more I thought about my comment the more I think that the reason restaurants get away with it is the industrial grade ventilation. The vent in my kitchen suuucks, and I've lived in enough different houses to think thats pretty common.

Deep fryers are a mistake unless you're a restaurant. Either you waste a shit load of oil or you fry in nasty, old, weird tasting oil. Restaurants can get away with reusing oil cause they are frying constantly. They serve you fries made in yesterdays oil. When you try this trick at home you end...

Agree completely. As I was sitting here typing out a response about how I can't understand that "retire to watch TV" mindset, it struck me that its really just the same thing we see play out on a smaller scale every weekend. Some sit around bored watching TV all weekend. For others the weekend...

Right, exactly. What I'm saying is why is the new spin supposed to be more automatically plausible than the explanation people have believed for thousands of years? I mean the weight of evidence is equal for both explanations

Ive got one in the opposite direction. It rustles my jimmies when we pick some great 80s or 90s movie to introduce to our kids, then we sit down and watch it, and its full of fucking foul language. I'm like I don't remember this! Apparently all that shit was edited out in the TV versions I saw...

I mean, people have been claiming demon encounters for millenia without proof. Then people have been claiming alien encounters for a few decades without proof. Why are aliens supposed to be obviously more plausible? Isnt "Alien" just the modernist skin people put on these same experiences?

Since the invention of TV, every time we've watched a politician talk we've been watching a man wearing makeup. Think about that. In normal everyday life if you ran into a dude wearing makeup you'd know he was a fucking crazy person and never listen to anything he says. The TV hides the...

Seriously, fuck any and every business of any size that operates through ""quotes"" Fuck the 3-4 guys who will rush in here to assure me that in their very important industry its very important that they operate through quotes List the fucking price. If "it depends", make a price table. For...

Its funny how common that error is. I've heard quite a few people say that. Its like a Mandela effect but for retarded people.

I feel like in 2023, if you complain that you've forgotten your password and cant get into something, the only response you should get from anyone is laughter. I mean, its 20 fucking 23 and you havent yet come up with some kind of system for avoiding this? Click the "password reset"? Use some...

Somewhat? By somewhat do you mean more or less than that laughable 1.9% estimate from the article? I do agree that inflation has slowed down and I do agree that building materials are doing well - in some cases I've seen actual price decreases. I say 1.9% is bullshit though. By a large margin.

I don't feel like doing that kind of homework this early in the morning on the weekend. We do have an entire thread devoted to people posting examples. Are you making the claim that yoy ex-shelter inflation is 1.9%?

Yeah, I guess I'm just saying this. The article seemed to make the claim that inflation is actually beaten, except for housing, which it claims is a different situation for various reasons. And the articles conclusion is that the Fed should stop raising rates as a result. This conclusion seems...

I can't get past this. This number is so far from reality I don't know what to believe from the article. Maybe theres some "official" source that matches this number. All I'm saying is, this number is fucking horse shit.

This is a good example of the lifestyle creep I bitch about from time to time. As a society our expectations for how a normal middle class person should expect to live have gone fucking bonkers during our lifetime. People usually bitch at me for political reasons when I bring it up, but...

Not trying to start a fight, but I find this kind of "archaeology" exactly as convincing as tarot readings. I buy parts of it, e.g. the carbon dating. Its the speculation that "hey this random ass rock or log looks like X" that I find laughable. Its literally people looking at cloud...

In the restaurants I worked in that served pizza, the dough was always made the night before. If we had to make another batch we were not allowed to use it til the next day. Aging appears to matter, probably to get that right stretchiness.

No, its what I've alway said - the fact that they dont stick to the source material in casting is a preview of their failure to stick to the source material throughout. As soon as raceswapped casting is announced, you can know in advance its gonna be garbage.

What I meant by hand tight was tightened by hand manually with a wrench rather than fucking absurdly tight with a power tool. The bolt in question cannot be accessed with a long wrench. Its a star head round bolt screwed into the bottom of the steering column. Screwed in with some kind of...

This is a recurring rustle for me so I dunno if I've posted before. It rustles the fuck outa my jimmies when bolts that have no reason to be tightened down like the fist of an angry god, are tightened down like the fist of an angry god. Then it gets stripped because they've tightened this...
