  • I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I’ve seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.

    You’re my hero, dude.




  • That’s exactly the thing. Trump is a liar, but he’s not lying about what he’s doing, he’s lying about the outcomes. When called out for shit, he lies then too, but he has told everyone exactly what he has wanted to do. A vote for Trump was a vote for a racist, bigoted, rapist, wanna be dictator. His literal words were that he wants to be a dictator. There is no trickery in what he said, and the people that voted for him wanted exactly that. Now they’re upset it’s hurting them, and that’s about the only silver lining I’m find through all of this. If it wasn’t affecting me and mine, I’d have died from schadenfreude a month ago.









  • Do you think that all TV prior to streaming services was just a bunch of soap operas?

    This may be a surprise, but TV shows with plots that span episodes and seasons have been around about as long as TV shows have been. Mad Men and Breaking Bad are two shows that had weekly episode releases, were critically acclaimed, and aren’t soap operas. How about The Sopranos, Star Trek, or Doctor Who? I’d argue there are a lot of shows that were released as full seasons that are more boring than some if not all of the five shows I listed. So I do think there actually is something more boring than old TV.

    All that said, full season drops are better than weekly releases for me in most cases, but in general, it doesn’t bother me either way.
