- Comment on What if as I get older, like a Mandela effect, everyone's understanding of what the average life span is increases? 1 day ago:
Maybe you’re thinking of something along the lines of Bishop Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism.
Essentially, things only exist and continue to exist because we agree that they do and expect them to remain that way.
Also featured in the children’s book Mr. Radagast Makes an Unexpected Journey, which I adored when I was younger.

Gandalf’s Farm?
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
That isn’t the type of behavior that I think most find annoying but I’m sorry that you get that reaction at all.
I think many people are so annoyed with feeling they are attacked for eating meat (and I do eat meat) that when that button gets pressed the anger just rises up.
For me I get a little true guilt. I know I’m not helping in the best possible ways that I can, all the time. I’m not perfect and won’t ever pretend that I am, and I also haven’t given up on getting better. When I go a day without eating meat, I congratulate myself. With a burger. (No, not really.)

But that’s also the mark of a well written show, when you’re compelled to take the side of a man making the wrong choices, to walk that line with him. And then be yanked the fuck back by the writers at the end.
“I did it for me. I did it because I was good at it.”
Masterful.

Jake Lloyd. His performance just makes me hate George Lucas more.
I do let that hate flow through me!

Ooh that’s a good one.

I never watched that show, thank you.

I never hated Skylar, but I get why she’s in the meme. Anna Gunn does severe so damn well.
I also don’t mind Dolores Umbridge’s actress because I hated her in the book far, far more.
Jack Gleeson should come back and give it a shot again. And I can’t tell who the other one is.

Eventually, but won’t bother in the theater.
- Comment on Most obscure movies you've ever seen? 3 weeks ago:
Oh I love The Tune. Had it taped once off IFC.
It is admittedly weird.
- Comment on Most obscure movies you've ever seen? 3 weeks ago:
I dunno about obscure but I owned Meet the Feebles on VHS.
I love telling people it’s by the guy who did Lord of the Rings.

I’m sorry but the correct plural is octopedants.
- Comment on But they wouldn't know the taste 3 weeks ago:
All our sci-fi depict bipedal creatures all over the place.
The rest of the universe just isn’t represented, man. Make more crab fiction and the aliens will visit!
- Comment on Sunak accused of making mental illness ‘another front in the culture wars’ 4 weeks ago:
Not by the public.
Just by his colleagues in his own party. THEY wanted him.

No!
Don’t do that! Don’t pay attention to the bottom line! AUGH!
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3's Patch 7 Will Add New Endings 4 weeks ago:
I’ve finished the game three times and keep the end savefile, so I can still go back to my Durge and see what’s new.
- Comment on BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer 1 month ago:
Just when I was wondering if this would use the funeral to take a hard right into Weekend At Berniejuices.
- Comment on BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer 1 month ago:
I am definitely a Michael Keaton fan. Dopesick had no right to be that compelling.
- Comment on BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer 1 month ago:
Aside from the “spooky” Day-Oh I don’t see any warning signs it’s complete garbage.
Hopefully Tim Burton and company can deliver a worthy sequel. I’m not holding my breath though.
- Comment on Netflix Marvel Shows Are Now 100% MCU Canon | Giant Freaking Robot 1 month ago:
I see nothing in that article supporting the headline.
Just a line about “looking back to the mythology while building on the foundation” which means nothing and commits to using none of the supposedly dropped characters of Foggy and Karen.
If Matt suddenly has his own firm and no supporting staff while also being a superhero at night… it’s not gonna work.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
And it was used to great effect. There’s a ton of good stuff in the D&D mythos that can be made into other solid games.
Hasbro will fuck it up, I agree, but the potential is undoubtedly there.
- Comment on M. Emmet Walsh, character actor best known for Blade Runner, Blood Simple, has died at 88 1 month ago:
I just watched Blood Simple with my wife a couple of weeks ago. Her first time.
You’ll be missed, Mr. Walsh. I always enjoyed seeing you.
- Comment on [Discussion thread] [Spoilers] Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 1 month ago:
I couldn’t watch the trailer without thinking of the Night King.
And it seemed like they were trying to create a hard to hate ensemble cast. Suspiciously so.

But not spinach
- Comment on [Re-release] All 8 Spider-Man Movie Returning to Theaters Starting Next Month 1 month ago:
If they hadn’t fucked up Madame Web so completely and hilariously, Garfield might have gotten his third movie.
- Comment on Green anger as ministers promise new gas power plants ‘to avoid blackouts’ 2 months ago:
Sure. I’m an American looking in from the outside and it just… seems like something Sunak would do given his track record.
- Comment on Green anger as ministers promise new gas power plants ‘to avoid blackouts’ 2 months ago:
Or it’s an announcement: Fuck you, we are doing it anyway and we don’t care about telling you where, when, how, much it cost, or who is profiting.
- Comment on Suggest wholesome movies that end well 2 months ago:
Oddly enough, The Full Monty is a movie about down-on-their-luck steelworkers in the UK in the 90s turning to stripping to pay the bills, and it’s a really family friendly and heartwarming comedy.
- Comment on What is a worker's union? How does it internally work? How can a union make the affiliated company do stuff to benefit the union(why can"t a company just say: f*ck off to their demands)? 6 months ago:
If the company tells the union to fuck off, all of the workers who belong to thar union walk off the job and the employer has to run short handed or shut down production.
The union is the workers joining together so that they have more bargaining power - all the people who know how the business works are sitting idle. Can the business afford to replace and retrain them all?
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 6 months ago:
When I was using mine in office I used the little bags of pre-ground. But I also enjoyed the routine of making the coffee and explaining it to any curious onlookers.
