BrownThunder posted:Was the NASCAR thread after a noose was found in a drivers garage. Knee slapper IIRC, the title was changed a few months before that, when Kyle Larson dropped the n bomb live on TV during some video game race they were doing during the early COVID lockdowns in spring 2020. It was a dumb joke then and lasted too long, and the only got worse when the Bubba Wallace noose thing happened later that summer (Along with everything else in 2020).

BlindSite posted:Im kinda really, really, deeply unhappy in my soul with my work situation right now but all I can think is that a different job doing similar work wouldn't at all make me any happier. It would just be a different setting to suffer in. Blowjob Overtime posted:Brother, I have had six different jobs at five different companies in 13 years. Every week I still stare at the walls of my beige prison and wonder if there's something I'd actually enjoy doing, although the longer I'm at it the more the voice in the back of my mind says you've seen enough to know it's all the same. After getting way too into the last couple and burning out, at this point I am trying so god drat hard to focus on everything else in my life that isn't work, because on the whole it's all pretty great. But it is SO difficult to pretend the place that dictates my schedule for 71% of the days in a week just doesn't exist. If either of you ever find a way to make this better, tell me. I've never had a job that wasn't crushing my soul within 6-8 months.

Silly Burrito posted:But yeah, Sears should’ve been Amazon. Stores, catalogs, delivery, distribution centers already in place, they really messed up. IIRC, as Sears has been a recurring subject for years in the Companies Circling the Drain thread in PYF, it was partially a case of bad timing as they shut down their catalog division in the early 90s as it’s sales had rapidly declined and it required tens of thousands of people to operate. This was a few years before the internet became a thing and severs more before online shopping was the ubiquitous monster it is now. At the time, having physical locations in basically every major shopping mall, and I think often owning them outright rather than leasing them, was what was working and looked to be the way things would continue. I also think a lot of their bigger failures and mismanagement and other stuff was still a ways off as well… EFB with more detail on the stuff on the CEO

Pron on VHS posted:First 3 movies, Thrawn trilogy books, maybe the Rogue series if you want to be expansive. That’s canon baby The Rogue books (And comics) are solid enough, and mainly serve to lead to the Wraith books, which are great. Also Shadows of the Empire  Freaquency posted:Bad Batch is kinda fun. Never watched Clone Wars. Clone Wars at its high points is excellent. You don't need to watch the whole series, I think the guide list that another goon recommended to me and I've passed along since cuts it down from 130~ episodes to about 70~ (Which would coincidentally about match Rebels' run of 75 episodes), and you could probably trim a few of that depending on tastes, but the high points of it are awesome, and it now lays the ground work for stuff that later comes up in Rebels, Bad Batch, Andor, Rogue One, and Mandalorian. Rebels is really good too, with some outstanding points (Vader's appearance, Thrawn, Twin Suns and the resolution of Obi-Wan and Maul), and while it doesn't quite as consistently hit the highs of Clone Wars, it doesn't have the same lows.

a sexual elk posted:The new Alphabet Squadron books were pretty drat good, each member has a different class of fighter and huge emotional scars. It takes place right after the war and dealing with the former Imperials and warlord splinter groups. Fits in well with the feel of R1 and Andor Yeah, I really liked the Alphabet Squadron trilogy and Alexander Freed has been one of the handful of writers in the NuEU I've consistently enjoyed.

General Dog posted:Andor is extremely light on Easter eggs and cameos; it doesn't really reference anything from the animated series (unlike Mandalorian which ties in with Clone Wars pretty extensively). Andor has a good number little Easter eggs and stuff in it, probably more than a lot of people recognized, they just don't hit you over the head with them in a "nudge nudge, wink wink, recognize this?" manner that some of the other shows have. Just off hand of stuff I remember getting discussed in the Star Wars TV thread, Andor's gun was from the old Dark Forces game, a number of things in Luthen's shop were references (Including the stones from Temple of Doom on a shelf in the back), a whole bunch of planet names from the old EU are mentioned at one point or another (Cassian's cover has him from Fest, which was in a bunch of old games like Rogue Squadron), among a bunch of others.

seiferguy posted:I did finally finish Andor and yeah, just an absolute excellent show that stands out on its own aside from Star Wars. Also, watching it after finishing The Bear was funny when you see Cousin Ritchie in a different role but almost essentially playing the same character. This is the list I'd start with. It basically covers all of the high points of the first 5 seasons, includes most of season 6, and then just watch the entirety of season 7. If you want to cut it down further, you don't really need to watch the entire movie, which is essentially three episodes smashed together, but the first 20~ minutes is okay if you want to see Anakin and Ahsoka actually meet. You could probably skip the three episode Mortis arc from season 3, which are a bit trippy and their impact is debated by fans, but I enjoyed them for what they were. The list also has a few stand alone episodes that are basically samplers of "Hey, if you like this, there's more scattered throughout about the droids/senate/whatever" which you can skip as well if you want. The only major issued with that list is it was originally made in 2015, before the final season, Rebels and Rogue One and all the Disney+ shows, so it omits some episodes that might be worthwhile now. For example, the first episode with Bo-Katan in a prominent role beyond background character, who plays a big role in season 7, Rebels, Mandalorian season 2 and likely will in season 3, isn't included there as at the time, it mostly looked like a semi-filler Mandalore episode. The list only has one senate focused episode with Padme, so the handful of other episodes with Mon Mothma (Played by Genevieve O'Reilly as in Rogue One and Andor, and the deleted scenes from Revenge of the Sith) are also omitted. Granted, some of those aren't important to the main plots of Clone Wars of stuff like Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, the main Clones, Maul, but they do add a bit of flavor now and then. Also the list excludes every Jar-Jar episode As a final note, for those who aren't already aware, the first 2-3 seasons are not really in chronological order. There are 2-4 episode arcs throughout, but if you watch broadcast order, things can sometimes get a bit weird. The chronological order is on the Star Wars website if you want to go that way. The best example of this wackiness involves a squad of Clones the show regularly follows, one of whom ends up in the Bad Batch. The episode that is supposed to be their introduction while they are in training is S3E1 Clone Cadets, which in the timeline would actually be like the 3rd episode overall of the series, but the immediate next episode (S3E2) has them as experienced veterans joining an ARC unit and would be the 48th episode if they were set in chronological order. The episode with their first actual mission after training is S1E5 and they show up in a few other episodes during seasons 1 and 2 before really getting focused on more later in season 3. By seasons 4 and beyond, the show is mostly in order. Some people don't mind the early seasons jumping around as they do, but I know it was a factor for me in why I didn't really get into the show the first time I tried to watch it years and years ago. fartknocker fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Jan 19, 2023 |

I got really badly sick right before Christmas 2019, but assume it was just the usual flu/cold/whatever that goes through offices/call centers all the time and got like 12 people sick over a 2-3 week span just in our team’s little area. poo poo did linger with me for a while and I highly doubt it was COVID, but a few months later when everything really blew up and suddenly were working from home indefinitely, everyone from work was making semi-nervous jokes about it.

I'll chime in and say I enjoyed the first 3 seasons well enough, to the point I impulse grabbed the first 2 off Amazon on Black Friday or Prime Day sales or something like that where they were dirt cheap. But then there was that 2~ year gap before season 4, from late 2017 to late 2019. During that timeframe is when the toxicity and negative views of the fanbase who just obsessed themselves with the show and let it define their lives, where being a "Ricky and Morty fan" was everything, plus nonsense like the whole McDonald's szechuan sauce thing happened. All of that sorta soured my view on the show, and add on poo poo that happened in my own life in 2019, meant I wasn't as interested in following it by the time season 4 came out. Looking at the episodes, I remember some of season 4, but not in detail. By the time season 5 came out, my cable package had dropped Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, so I haven't seen an episode since.

C-Euro posted:I wonder which IP will be the one that sends the revival/reboot/rehash trend in TV and film back to hell where it belongs, or if it will merely be a casualty of the larger streaming media collapse that people keep warning about. Revivials/reboots/rehashes have always been around and always will be. Like, since the early 90s were mentioned, there were a bunch of movies and shows then that were based on stuff from the 60s (The Untouchables and The Fugitive probably being the two best known examples).

I badly want an exercise bike or a treadmill but my apartment is small so finding space for it would be mildly tricky. Bigger concern is the noise, since I’m on the second floor and the walls are just thin enough I know my neighbors would hear it.

Bird in a Blender posted:I made an appointment to euthanize my cat tomorrow. She has cancer, has lost a good amount of weight, and I'm pretty sure arthritis has now set in. All this, plus the kidney disease we have been managing for the last year. She pretty much just lays around all day, can still climb stairs, but very slowly, and can't get on anything else. I've been racked with guilt for the last few weeks because I've been trying to decide when I need to make the call. She could probably hang on for another month, maybe two, but I'm also trying to not wait until things are really bad. I finally decided I need to just do it because I'm making myself crazy trying to figure out the right time to do it. Now I'll at least have closure.  so sorryStanley Tucheetos posted:For what it's worth the shwinn ic4 I have hasn't received any complaints in my second floor apartment. It is unwieldy and heavy to move and doesn't really fit in a closet for storage. I’ll have to keep that in mind. At some point we plan to redo the whole living room/dining area of the apartment, which is where such a thing would go (The dining area has mostly been storage space for years and needs cleaned up). 3 DONG HORSE posted:Good news everyone!
