@Aria said in Good TV:

I feel like you're being rather generous there, Netflix, what with calling Ancient Aliens a "documentary" and all.

Maybe it's a documentary as to the stupidity of Americans?

@Ominous said in RL things I love:

Made it to California with all the stuff I didn't throw away crammed into my car. Started my job and I think I can do it. Got a 6-month lease and am moving in. Cross your fingers and knock on wood, but things seem to be working out.

Let us know how it goes, yeah? Also, avoid fires.

IF ITS THIS FRAGILE WE DON'T DESERVE DEMOCRACY IF IT HINGES ON THE DEATH OF ONE WOMAN

It won't.

You can fix the solution by expanding the Court.

Not difficult.

@Arkandel said in Good or New Movies Review:

In fact come to think of it his roles as Clark were easily the worst ones I've seen him in.

So, the role in which he was directed by Zack Snyder were his bad ones? Funny that.

Please.

Vote Biden.

Please.

@Derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Here that's intimidation and we have all sorts of bullshit case law on it.

Yeah, some people can't do that.

But you can do the petty bullshit revenge.

@Wizz said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Confronting the asshole would be pointless at best, I already know this.

"Confronting the asshole" sounds a lot like "demanding an apology" or "demanding an explanation." If so, yes, it would be pointless.

Politely telling the asshole that you and your family will not hesitate to kick the shit out of him if you hear he cussed out your kid again is something completely different. Also, it is not considered menacing in the State of Ohio because it is a conditional threat. Bring along a posse of your biggest friends when you go over.

Now, if you're in for petty, satisfying revenge, figure out if the new owner is renting. If so, figure out who the landlord is and where to contact them. Let the landlord know that you're a neighbor and will pass on information. Then pass on information about the most petty bullshit possible. Truthfully, mind, but just keep on informing the landlord once every two days about everything from the lawn not being kept to visible trash to noise complaints. If you see the neighbors smoking on their stoop, don't forget to tell the landlord that you think they are smoking inside too!

Following the petty bullshit formula, you may have a new tenant very shortly.

@Aria said in Critters!:

Like, we're talking full-blown kitty air raid siren letting us know that he's been orphaned forever and shall live the tragic life of a little Victorian matchstick girl..... because the humans are not in his line of sight and also maybe a door is closed.

@Ghost said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

So how about them ps5 preorders, yeah?

@Ghost said in General Video Game Thread:

FF: Road Trip got me to tear up at the end. The end story was wonderful.

Well, it was a really pretty game.

@GreenFlashlight said in The Work Thread:

Look, do you know why the evening charge nurse told you to ask me about the patients over here when she handed the unit off to you?

Alternate explanation:

@GangOfDolls said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Cancel culture originates from Black twitter spaces.

Back in my day, we called it 'boycotting'.

@Cassite said in General Video Game Thread:

Then the gameplay. And the cruddy female representation. Euugh.

Yeah, you're right there.

But dudes with car was still pretty fun.

And the game was beautiful to look at.

@bear_necessities

Man, I loved Dudes with Car, because, like, dudes with car.

Also, F+TM.

@Coin said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

This has nothing to do with cancel culture at all, IMO.

I concur.

Were I a movie executive I would also nix plots related to people of color being brutalized by law enforcement and the endless, unsatisfying struggle to find justice.

So I watch She-Ra,The Witcher, Lucifer, and anything else but that.

2020, man

Ironically, this year Hugh Downs passed away.

“Your day is going to suck, and this is 2020.”

@GreenFlashlight said in RL things I love:

I don't know what this song is about (I have guesses) but I am fucking bawling.

The song is at a point in the musical after Hamilton's son, Philip, is shot in a duel, and he elects to move himself and his family away the center of New York City.

That occurs after Hamilton ruins his entire political career by very publicly admitting to an affair with Maria Reynolds.

These would be spoilers if, y'know, it wasn't part of the man's personal history.

This is at the conclusion of the musical, when you finally learn who's telling the story and who the true hero is.

@Roz said in The Work Thread:

WHY, SUSAN

@GreenFlashlight said in RL things I love:

Love that song. It's on my playlist of songs to listen to at work, and I don't know why because why do I want my coworkers or residents to see me cry?

I'm pretty sure that's what I want to happen.

This is also on my work playlist.
