    The Fast Food Thread

    It is still the worst thing on the menu, and thats a big statement for a place that serves a fucking fish sandwich (OK this statement is not really fair because obviously I have never ordered the fucking fish sandwich) I mean its bland fucking lunchmeat, kind of warmed up, slopped on a bun...

    This is correct and also even once people realize it they still won't stop. The perspective from the outside is fuckin wild.

    Fair, I'll admit I'm not super familiar with BP meds and was arguing the more general case. If the facts are as you describe, then BP meds go in the same category as Ozempic and I think people should view their side effects differently than lifesaving meds without alternatives.

    Absolutely, but the difference is there are 100% effective treatments for obesity with zero negative side effects. With medical treatments its always about comparing the new treatment versus whats already available. Putting down the chips was already available, so its reasonable that people...

    I don't get the contradiction. You take BP meds to save your life, and there arent any real non-medication alternatives. People take Ozempic to make their double chin go away, when they could just stop snacking instead. I think its perfectly reasonable to view side effects differently in...

    I had to look this up cause I had never heard of it. LMAO, the Wiki is hilarious. Its like listening to David Attenborough narrate a documentary about oogabooga tribesmen, trying to sound all intellectual like they have a valid culture. This shit is like its own category of humor, I can't find...

    Little House on the Prairie

    I was foolishly optimistic when I saw that they'd cast ordinary American people to play the Ingles. Then black doctor, LMAO. Yeah, a black doctor on the fucking prairie in the fucking 1800s. LHOTP always had a subtext about sympathy for injuns. Their presence alone in the trailer isnt enough...

    There is nothing spoiled or unusual about this.

The brain will just take fucking anything you've experienced for long...

    For sure, although depending on the location it may easily be another "there isnt a number large enough" situation.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Like usual I can't tell if we're having a language issue. Are you saying that movie was bad because of Ashton Kutcher's casting? It was super boring but are you really saying it was because of him? What, his "acting ability" wasnt up to it?
  16. Aldarion

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Fair, maybe thats what he means. I can't agree with it either. Casting is useful because you get to see the casting before you spend money or time on the movie. Not sure how "it works out in the end" if you have to see the movie to get the full picture of why its shitty.

    So we processed our first lambs for meat this year. We've been raising sheep (Katahdin hair sheep, a meat breed) for years but this was the first year we had extra ram lambs. So we fattened them up and had them processed. I'll be honest - despite being a pretentious foody I've barely eaten any...

    Maybe its something about the order you watched them in. Wasnt supernatural first by a long time? Supernatural was great in early seasons, mid to later seasons got stupid. Grimm was ok but always seemed like kind of a cheesy intentionally silly take on the genre.

    I don't actually think theres been a lot of criticism of GLP1 as cheating in this thread, has there?
