But are you a legit snack?

I think you might be right. I say we blame Seinfeld for Trump, it was the start of making assholes the star on TV.

There’s been no real spike in Trump out of office by 2027 market recently but it’s crawled up a point in the last day. I doubt you’ll find anyone to take a bet on death, to easy to fix (we should be so lucky) but there are several online betting markets that will take your action on out by the end of the year for whatever reason.

Honestly The cheapest one is fine. I got ours at K-Mart for $20 about 15 years ago and it great. The one this to look for is make sure the ceramic pot is removable so you can take it out to clean. After that its all bells and whistles your not really going to need.

Slow cookers are a great poor person’s friend. They’re cheep to buy and run, and slow cooking lets you get the best out of cheap cuts of meat, and if your a vegetarian, slow cooking a big vat of stew or soup and then freezing leftovers is real value.

This isn’t a recipe but I feel your pain and can I make a suggestion? You should buy a slow cooker. Hear me out, you can find a ton of recipes online where you just throw a bunch of stuff in the slow cooker and come back in eight hours to awesome stew or slow cooked meat or soup or … well lots of stuff.

Yes but that’s the point. The Overton Window has moved to where the discussion of shooting a CEO can be seen as a heroic action and pretty high B-list celebrity can joke about how the guy accused of the shooting is his second favourite Luigi. And personally I think that’s a good thing.

The earnestness and pain in his voice when Clark said “People were going to die” in the new Superman movie. That was the moment when I knew I was onboard and post helped me put in words.

Shake it like a Polaroid picture!

It was directed by James Cameron so of course it was a nightmare to film. His films are almost always big oof. But god damn especially the director’s cut Special Edition is amazing.

This is the right answer. 13 months of 4 weeks and an extra day on the last month.

• Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar - yes I’m older then dirt but I played my first real video game on an Apple IIe and it was a revelation real puzzles and my first choices with consequences
• Tetris - ok so a great game doesn’t need a story or puzzles or anything but good game play
• Gauntlet: Red Elf needs food badly. My first exposure to cooperative gameplay.
• Pokemon:RBY - I love the mechanics and they were the best turn based combat.
• Halo - Great storyline’s really do help but the gameplay was a real game changer for me I enjoyed how if you wanted to you could get through a level in several different ways.
• The Last of Us - Literary Characters that I came emotionally attached to. There’s a reason the first season of the TV series was so good it was because the writing of the game was just so good. I still remember the finale in the operating room when I (Joel really but I was so invested) found Ellie I was angry I was mad and I shot the nurses because I was so mad. I’ve, to this day, never felt so inside a character in any media as I felt then.
• Spiritfarer - My first cozy game and the only game I’ve ever played that made me stop and think about what just happened. I don’t ever want to spoil the game for anyone so all I’ll say is it’s less then the cost of a Happy Meal on steam and worth more for your soul then you can put a price on.

The quote “Right now, there are 13-year-old kids about to invade Kamchatka in their first-ever game of Risk that look like Carl von Clausewitz compared to Trump.” just about covers the level of strategic planning but I don’t understand how tactical planning is also so poor. I’m guessing Pete’s purges have shredded the upper ranks of everyone who’s not a sycophant.

You do realise that the government collects your ID when they’re made? And then you need to show that ID to buy a pack of smokes right?

Is it? I’m on a Lemmy instance and I use Voyager as my daily drive, so I’m pretty behind on Piefed. But that does sound like a good idea.

So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@.? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.

You know you’re right about Holly Hunter, she’s so good as Ake I flat out forgot she’s Holly Fuckin Hunter my bad there. But as much as I love Tig, and do love Tig Notaro, (Jet Reno is my favourite engineer since O’Brian) she’s B or C level celebrity and she’s a supporting character., she’d have time to do Zootopia 3 even if they had 22.
But you’re right very few shows do longer seasons for a lot of reasons. I just think that it’s trade off I’m not in favour of. I miss how longer seasons made shows try more interesting things, and gave the Arcs time to breathe. The Dominion arc in DS9 felt epic in part because it was so long.

Eh 13 seems to be the standard. But then if the show’s a hit then a back 9 raising it up to 22 or at least second season of 22 does seem to still be a thing for broadcast TV at least. But STA really would have been helped by another 3 episodes.
No one in any Star Trek series is what I would consider A-list so I’m pretty sure all of them would be happy to do a 22 episode season.

I didn’t know that the 10 episodes limit was a Paramount rule, really I miss the 22 episodes season. That length forces the showrunners to work harder. Some the best TNG episodes are bottle episodes or limited cast episodes. Lock everyone in a room and you might get another ‘Measure of a Man’ or if whole cast is run down and shooting catch up scenes focus on the bit players and you can get another ‘Lower Decks’ (the episode not the series). If there were only 13 episodes a season on TNG there wouldn’t have been time enough to grow Gordie as a character or create O’Brian or … the list is too long.
