    As with many communities here, they'll only get more posts when people choose to post here.

    Me, I block almost all shitposting communities but not mental health ones, and then browse all.

    I like to be supportive when I can.

  • Which scene in a movie/series do you think didn't make any sense to the plot ?

    Except for the fact that Vincent is only there without Jules because Jules quit. And Vincent was in the toilet because he was constipated because he's a heroin addict.

    If Jules hadn't quit, Marcellus would not have been there. And Butch wouldn't have known about any of those developments.

    Although to back your theory up, Jules would've never left for doughnuts.

    As a very regular user and the child of drug counselors, I wish you the best of luck. This of course a willpower thing but it's also about reinventing your life to limit the scenarios that encourage your use.

    I think you've got this. If the desire to change leads you to act to change these habits, you'll be in a better place to make those changes.

    And let this be a warning to you about other drugs and your potential susceptibility to them! Pot might be just pot in a lot of people's minds but it is still a habit forming substance.

    Probably. Same way they called them violent sex predators. They aren't trying to contribute to a conversation.

    My sense is that they don't think there is such a thing as rehabilitation and would prefer execution. But that's my personal smell test.

    Jerry Seinfeld Regrets Commenting "Extreme Left" Ruined Comedy: "It's Not True"

    Seinfeld treated comedy like math.

    A joke can be perfected, whittled down to a perfect and easily repeated core. And once you have enough of those, you can just juggle them.

    He didnt hang out and get high and drunk with the other comics, he went home and studied the Tonight Show.

    I think his greatest weakness is that he can't read a room very well. That isn't a skill he prioritized.

    Also rehearsing a joke to death the way Seinfeld does makes it seem like you're listening to something memorized rather than spontaneous.

    I saw him live a few years ago. He wasn't my favorite but I'm glad I went.

    Seinfeld is now using the Uno reverse card on those comments explaining to Tom Papa, “If you’re Lindsey Vonn, if you’re a champion skier, you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain. She’s going to make the gate. That’s comedy. Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. You don’t make the gate, you’re out of the game. The game is, where is the gate? How do I make the gate and get down the hill the way I want to?”

    This doesn't read as a cop out to me. He is acknowledging that he has trouble hitting certain audiences because things have changed, and now realized he needs to change to meet the game and appeal to the more modern audiences.

    And that makes perfect sense. Seinfeld's comedy is already a part of our cultural DNA. He needs to evolve to remain relevant.

    My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.

    It's my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I'm someone who never vacuums otherwise.

    Definitely, my situation would not be normal in Minneapolis, where I was born and grew up. There it was a little more chaotic, longer lines, but still not terrible.

    Minnesota hasn't been one of those states desperately trying to keep people from voting, thankfully.

    And we are trying to keep it that way.

    We don't have these issues here in Minnesota. Plenty of polling places, short lines.

    Here in Duluth I live right across the street from the church that is a polling station. Never taken me more than ten minutes including the walk there and back.

    My vet tech wife, more than 40 years in the business, says she has never before seen a pet Peeve.

    Thought you'd like to know you are relatively original.

    Catnip time!

    Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have: Bernie Sanders is eight years old. Miles Morales is just over four. Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter. Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter. Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time. Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

    Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted. She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other. She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone. She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets. I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

    I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this. Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it. I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice. Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

    "I can't believe I didn't get to poison anyone last night."

    Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together. "Dude! Context! We are in public." I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
