    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    This means the model needs to change just like for the restaurant model to grow they need to figure out something to replace tipping culture. It may have started out good for everyone but it has become a hinderance to real growth and change of those industries. I cannot wait to see the...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    How much fucking worse could that be than The Marvels or The Flash? It sure as fuck would cost a fraction of those pieces of shit.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Just watched them both; there were some funny moments but they aren't some of the best. It is the continuation of a slightly above average series. I enjoy the characters and will keep watching.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    It is very funny that the writers/actors pick now to strike...when theater attendance is rapidly declining and most people under 40 watch less than TV than since it was invented. Do you know what would help Hollywood? A salary CAP. Cannot pay huge stars more than xxx per movie. Remind them...

    Investing General Discussion

    I know this sounds like the typical "well why don't the poor just BUY more money?" But I think teaching your kids that the easiest time to sock away money is when they first get a taste of real money at a job, are single, and can *literally* exist for a few bucks a day. I wish my parents had...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I forgot after all these years that the main story revolves around Ilithids. Fuck I want it to be good.

    As if we needed more proof that Tiktok and the people who frequent it were unfunny and mentally retarded.

    We have them at CostCo here in 2 picks for like $13. They are super sweet but awesome.

    Wonka (2023)

    He doesn't seem detached and quirky enough to be Wonka. Both Wilder and Depp portrayed him as someone so disconnected from other people that neither one had any empathy. Maybe this movie will show him growing into that reclusive hermit, but the trailer showed Chalamet as the complete opposite.

    Let's build some pools!

    Heck yes. We judge other people's houses all the time. Honestly, I think they were both inventory homes by the builder so the occupants never had a chance to choose.

    Let's build some pools!

    I wish dude, they are finishing plumbing today and will most likely start prepping for decking next week. Weird true story, one of my uncles died on a 4 wheeler a decade ago doing some dumb shit like in that video. Going too fast, hit a bump, flipped over on him.

    I am being given a business

    Ok, then document how you pick up the slack and who is not doing the job. You have to have some sort of metric. You don't show and tell him every time. You document it for a few months and then you ask for a meeting, prepare your ass off, and show him with metric data how you have benefitted the...

    I am being given a business

    I put this out here in harsh terms because this is the place to do it. The truth is that 99% of the people on this board want the members to succeed. We want you to do well. The things I recommended you do are not going to be easy and your not going to nail it all the first time; just...

    I am being given a business

    If someone else in the business thinks you're acting out of line, you probably are. Even if you don't think it is out of line the people in your circle are telling you with their actions. This actually makes his texts make a ton more sense. I want you to really read the next thing I'm...

    I am being given a business

    Stop and take a deep breath. You are not a fool; you are trustworthy and expect the same out of the people you deal with. It sounds like you have a good thing going with this guy right now. You said yourself it is a money train. Conservatively, what percentage of the work are you responsible...

    I am being given a business

    I don't think he was even talking about it like that. You cannot have business conversations over text when there is nuance and real money on the line. You have to have those conversations in person and you have to be prepared. You have to have all of your points laid out, prepare what you...

    I am being given a business

    1. Are you taking two weeks then quitting? Where is he getting this from 2. Why is he saying "he won't argue this again?" 3. Your response needs to be that in business promises that are not in writing are not promises, they are nothing.

    Clockwork Revolution (inXile)

    I hope not. Bioshock Infinite was the most disappointing game I ever played. The story had so many good mysteries and ways to go at the beginning and it turned into a giant shitty mess. Fuck that game.

    Ok, so I am in Canada (outside of Vancouver) visiting the wife's family with our kids. We are at McDonald's and get a 10 piece meal, a wrap meal, poutine, three cheeseburgers, and a McDouble... $57.80. The kicker? No refills on the drinks. Fuck this retarded shit.

    MTG thread

    MTG was always gambling when opening packs; they just got lucky that Garfield made a great base game. I actually like the idea of this shit and hope they do a Warhammer 40k set with one of each Primarch super foil, one God Emperor, and the huge chase card being the old school corpse emperor on...

    I looked through the class balance changes and saw that they did not nerf a single thing, it was all buffs. Maybe someone took a fucking hint.

    This is literally anons saying the thing they know will disturb her the worst because she reacted like puritan. As an aside, women truly would never understand what a guy retreat is like. I save the most vile things I can think of for my closest of friends.

    I live in Houston and fully half of the ads presented to me are in Spanish. They have my viewing history and 0 of those are Spanish speaking streamers. Dumb as shit.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It always makes me breath a sigh of relief when I read the barest outline of the next Star Wars movie and there isn't even a single shred of a story I'm interested in seeing. I can skip it confidently and never wonder if I missed something decent. Never saw episode 9, never saw Kenobi, never...

    I honestly never buy meat from Costco. Crest, Walmart, and local places will have better everyday low prices and sometimes go on sale.

    Twitch just put exclusivity into it's TOS. You cannot stream on Twitch when you are streaming to any other platform. This is for all streamers, partner or not. After Twitch started delisting gambling streams and did not specifically exclude poker, streamer Lex Veldhuis gave up partner status...

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Bro, even though you are a degenerate retard, I got you. Pro-tip, googling 'Age of Sigmar novels' is about the most braindead thing possible and this was the first result. https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_Warhammer:_Age_of_Sigmar_books

    Maybe we are all wrong and it is going to be a whole different story with a new focus and all new characters. That would make me very happy.

    Black Mirror

    What I really need now is someone to highlight all of the episodes to avoid starting with season 4. I stopped watching after Season 3 and thought that most of the ranged from OK to great but nothing that I would just not watch ever again.

    Primal

    Last episode of season 2 sucked balls. Why would we care about Spear's daughter who he never met or trained? He was brutal and pragmatic which made him a great fit with Fang. The mom was shown as intelligent but also very hesitant to be as brutal as the world demanded. If it wants to be...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Wrong. We have a pronoun for singular things that are not he or she. IT. So if these mentally deluded people want to not be he or she then the proper pronouns are it/it. For example "It needs to go help us rescue the captives!" or "It cannot rescue the captives by itself!" That is so...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Fucking christ, THAT WAS MY POINT. Nothing happens with these retarded options, so why are they in the game? Why not spend that development time making a story about two characters that is actually good and has a bearing on the plot or a big subplot? Nope, they need to spend time making...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Do you realize that even caving to the "romance whoever the fuck you want" crowd actually made their games worse because they had to create all the tired ass romance story lines for people when they could have been creating better ones based on the single relationship that they thought would...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    This guy gets it. Time to sail the seven seas. I wouldn't waste a dollar on these pandering fucks for dumb shit like this. Maybe spend the time fixing all the goddamn bugs in your stupid fucking games.
