I briefly dated a 46 year old when I was 32. And yeah, I didn't have any issues with it.

That was actually pretty decent.

I enjoyed the ANThology album when I was in high school quite a lot, though.

It's better than "ok I guess," but I wouldn't say it's great either...

I lived in Clifton Park for a number of years, just a few miles north of Albany. Nobody ever referred to hamburgers as "steamed hams".

The only thing I'd really agree with him on is Joker being the killer of Batman's parents. I disagree on everything else.

If you try to take the movie seriously, then it's awful.

If you look at it as a comedy (which, knowing Verhoeven's work, is probably the case), it's entertaining as hell.

As disgusting as it is, this is how humans normally are. It's disgusting but this is normal for what this species is.

Speak for yourself. I think that shit's abhorrent.

The only real issue I heard about Backspacer from Pearl Jam fans back when it came out was that it was a Target-exclusive release.

I don't mind the more "pop-rock" aspect of it (again, I think Yield is their best album), but the songs on it weren't as memorable as what had come before.

Their first 3 albums are still the best, but after many listens, the new album may be the best since then. But that would be saying it is better than Yield and Backspacer, and I am not sure.

I still maintain that Yield is PJ's best album, and I don't think the new album surpasses it, nor do I think it surpasses Riot Act. Having listened to it a few more times since posting yesterday, I do think it's easily their best since Riot Act, though.

Lightning Bolt and Gigaton had really great songs, but they felt like Pearl Jam on autopilot. Looking forward to Dark Matter.

Pearl Jam is still the best live show Ive ever seen. I saw them during the Lightning Bolt tour. No opener, they played for 3 hours, and Vedder did a 6 song acoustic set in the middle.

I liked both Lightning Bolt and Gigaton, but I agree, they felt more like autopilot albums for them.

And PJ is easily one of the top 5 live acts I've ever seen.

Why would you want something that ridiculous?

One of my ex-girlfriends is named Ryan.

It's not an exclusively male name, but I see a lot more men with that name than women.

Do You have Hulu/Disney+?

Yes, I do. Yes, I know that the Eras Tour film is on there. No, I haven't watched it, because I'm personally not interested in it.

If seeing an ad that reminds you she exists is too much for you, then I don't know what else to tell you.

I liked it a lot, but Pearl Jam is one of my two all-time favorite bands, so I'm a little biased. I'd probably say it's their best one since Riot Act, but I feel like I need to listen to it a few more times, and really let it sink in before I figure out where to rank it.

Outside of concerts with a fluid setlist and plenty of jamming, they're really not like the Grateful Dead at all.

Imagine pretending the media doesnt shove her in your face at every opportunity. Fuckin weird shit.

They don't. I don't listen to the radio, nor do I have or watch cable TV (I stick with streaming and my disc collection). 9 times out of 10, I only hear her music or see her videos because I'm actively making an attempt to listen to or watch them (which isn't that common).

If you aren't a fan, that's perfectly fine. Don't listen to her music. It's not a difficult trick to pull off, especially nowadays, when streaming services have made it easier for anyone to listen to practically whatever they want.

Agreed. There's no way it has anything to do with the thing they liked being changed to the point of being unrecognizable.

Like I said before, that's not automatically a given when something catches on with the mainstream. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But it's possible to stick to what appealed people to the property in the first place, even if the people behind the scenes decide to make changes over time, if only to not let it stagnate.

This really isn't true. Gaming has grown alot but there's still a difference between "mainstream in gaming" and "mainstream mainstream"

With the kind of budget AAA games are given, not just in development, but in marketing and merchandising, they're not just hoping hardcore gamers buy the game. They're hoping casual gamers jump on board too. If those games are successful enough to spawn a franchise, while keeping a AAA budget, it's very likely that that game has enough pop culture awareness that you could call it mainstream.

This is purely anecdotal, so take it with all the salt grains you need, but I've got a number of friends whom are into gaming pretty heavily, and just as many whom don't play games at all. Many of those non-gamers are just as aware of various AAA franchises as the gamers are, Fallout included (and this was before the TV show was announced).

Any independent that hasn't been long since driven off will vote for him regardless of any jail time.

This.

Anyone that says they're still "on the fence" about him after everything we've seen and heard from him from 2015 til today is not claiming that in good faith. I'm speaking as someone registered as Independent for over two decades.

Its been mainstream since 3 or 4 lol

This. Ever since Bethesda took over, it's been mainstream.

Patty_Fleur posted...

Amongst gamers only. I fine with that.

No, in general.

Rule of thumb, if it's a AAA game franchise, it's mainstream. It doesn't have to be on the level of recognizability of Mario or Sonic to be mainstream.

Rosstin316 posted...

Its because you used to feel cool and superior having this unique and niche favorite franchise compared to your normie buddies, but now they all like your thing which means your thing is now basic so you aint that interesting.

This is 100% what it comes down to.

And yes, I know the arguments about quality going downhill when trying to appeal to outside audience. It's not a direct correlation. Something can become popular without sacrificing quality, and something can make attempts to reach a large audience and never catch on.

I'm dealing with a headache right now, so maybe I'm just missing an obvious joke, but in case I'm not, Game of Thrones was MASSIVELY mainstream. It didn't end due to lack of funding (HBO is still putting money into it, hence the House of the Dragon spinoff). It ended because David Benioff & D. B. Weiss were getting tired of the series and wanted to move onto new projects.

I wouldn't say her music is top tier, but it's good.

That happened to Trump (twice), neither ended in an end to his presidency. I wonder if the Senate would have voted to remove Nixon at the height of the Cold War, luckily the threat alone was enough for Nixon to resign.

Nixon had met the minority leaders of both the House and Senate after the Smoking Gun tape was released, and they confirmed to him that he didn't have enough votes in either the House or Senate to avoid impeachment and removal from office.

That's why he resigned. If he thought he had any chance of having enough votes to avoid it, he would've stayed in office.

As others have said, based on your story, I don't think you've done anything wrong, but it would be wise to go to HR and report it, just to get ahead of it.

It's pretty good. Worth checking out.

Yeah, how the hell were they so incompetent to fail at getting him seated? Not complaining, but I hear the cries of bias already.

Every time I think we've reached the bottom of the barrel as far as just how incompetent his lawyers are, they find a new way to surprise me.

That's just gonna be used for fuel for the inevitable appeal later.

...but the first Mad Max had communities, working infrastructures and old people still living alone in the bush, the world in Road Warrior was worse.

The first Mad Max doesn't take place after the apocalypse. It takes place while society is in the process of collapsing. The Road Warrior takes place after the collapse.

Ok but how is the actual show though?

It's very good. Definitely worth watching.

I went to a few when I was in high school, and actively watching wrestling.

At least two episodes of Raw in 2000-2001, No Mercy 2000, and a Smackdown taping in 2003.

I lean towards James Cameron as well. T2's effects still hold up.

Trumpism is a disease.

See, that's not even the dumbest part (even though it is very, VERY dumb).

The dumbest part is that he sent those threats via text. Dude left a fucking paper trail right to him...

Not that I'm aware of.

That's the thing right there: vulnerability. Everything about the original communicates that, and nothing about Beyonce's cover does. She didn't take a song and "make it her own", it's just not the same song. It's like glorified sampling.

That's why I'm not a fan of the cover, either. Beyonce's gone out of her way to avoid showing vulnerability in her persona and music, to a detriment (there's a reason Lemonade is her best album).

After seeing more of the details about what actually happened, frankly she should be getting a lot more...

Technically, I've slept in the same bed with my best friend of 20 years, and she was a former co-worker of mine.

As far as what the topic is actually asking, no, I've never hooked up with a co-worker.

CE_gonna_CE posted...

Unfortunately, yes.

This.

As far as an actual relationship goes, my most recent ex-girlfriend was a little over 7 years younger than me. We started dating when I was 33, shortly before she turned 26.

Outside on relationships, I casually dated a 46-year-old woman when I was 32, and I hooked up with an 18-year-old woman just after I turned 33.

It's not surprising that this he's saying this now, after an ID show is calling him out.

The show didn't exactly shy away from how, um, close he was with Amanda Bynes, although they never really discussed the rumors about them...

TMOG posted...

People really need to get over them remaking a 30-year-old movie that has three or four absolutely terrible sequels attached to it. They want to revive the franchise from a clean slate for a modern audience, that's completely understandable and in no way invalidates the existence of the original.

I don't disagree with that sentiment. I've still got the original movie on my shelf, I can watch it whenever I want, regardless of what happens to the franchise.

However, that doesn't make the it any less disappointing that the new movie looks incredibly mediocre (at best).

LonelyStoner posted...

Looks so much better than the original in terms of modernization. Pennywise will do a MUCH better job portraying the character than someone who only gets praise because of the on-set mishap.

Talk about bad takes...
