Stop spending so much time on it.
- Comment on Apple TV+ Comedy 'Mythic Quest' Canceled 3 days ago:
It was… OK… I guess. It wasn’t IASIP, which is fine. But, the characters were unlikable in a not terribly funny way. The tech aspects were all off enough that the audience that would be drawn to a WoW developer drama should cringe.
I haven’t gotten through the first two seasons, even. There were some interesting storylines but it didn’t seem well thought out.
- Comment on ‘Saturday Night Live’ Sets U.K. Edition, Launching on Sky in 2026 1 week ago:
Every franchise dilutes the value of the brand. There’s rarely a good reason for this beyond “make more money.”
Sometimes, it works. The Office is a good example but it was a situation comedy re-contextualized for a different audience that wasn’t aware of the original.
A sketch comedy show can’t be treated the same way. You can’t transliterate the characters and jokes. So, it’s just going to be a format carbon copy with the name slapped on for no reason other than it’s recognizable. And, that means the name is expected to do some heavy lifting which doesn’t bode well.

Pegg has already played Scotty, what, three times?
He’s pitched Frost as Harry Mudd.

- Comment on where can i find people who are looking for friends to talk about life, goals, achievements, failures, ideas, problems? 3 weeks ago:
Sus. Don’t trust random people on the internet.
There’s an old internet adage from the early days: “Don’t trust you can’t punch in the face.”
This isn’t paranoid. It’s basic safety. Talking about personal stuff to people you don’t know irl is inherently risky.
If you’re in need of a confidant, find someone you know in real life who’s trust you can verify or a professional.

- Comment on Was Donald Trump ever cool? 3 weeks ago:
Yep. And he was kind of a hanger-on with the elite and famous but was mostly rejected by them. A lot of his shitty behavior probably stems from being rejected and being bad at business to the point that he went to the Russians for loans and got compromised.

- Comment on Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out? 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the sock but some are designed to wick moisture away from the foot and evaporate on the outside.
Turning them inside out is going keep the moisture close to the foot. This will cause problems—sores, smells, etc.

- Comment on First Image of Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' 1 month ago:
I like Matt Damon as an actor, generally. But, I just don’t see him as Odysseus. His voice, demeanor and look just don’t fit. I feel like this is more to throw a famous actor in the title role to draw crowds.
The character is bigger than any actor. It’d be great to see an unknown/lesser known actor in the role.

- Comment on In the U.S. in the 1980s, kids were told by this PSA that their teeth needed exercise, so they should chew crunchy food. 2 months ago:
Dentists. Because it’s true. It helps produce saliva which helps with plaque. It also exercises your jaw muscles. They emphasize crunchy vegetables and fruits which are plain healthy.

You take the role of a single character to explore the whole world. You can take quests, follow rumors, explore fortress mode forts that you made, etc. Combat is controlled directly, you can target individual body parts with wrestling or weapon attacks. And more.

That looks nice but it looks like it’s for Windows- only. Heroic is cross-platform.

- Comment on Will the price of Freeze Driers go down? (USA question) 4 months ago:
Not necessarily. Most backpacking is going to be down in areas close to fresh water sources and you’d be bringing a water filter.
Hiking/camping where you can’t easily find fresh water is quite risky.

His competitors should pay a series people to take the job and waste his time, aggravate him, cause scandals, etc.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 5 months ago:
He had pretty much that his first two years. Maybe not the judicial branch, totally. But, he had both chambers of congress. They could have done a lot but didn’t because of incompetence, a little dissent and fear of electoral reprisals.
Now, they’re more organized and possibly more unified behind the rat-fucking that’s planned.
If they move too fast they’ll lose the House in two years. If they slow boil, we’ll all be cooked before we know it.
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 5 months ago:
Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.
