Can I date your cousin?

I didn't realize 1988 was the year of CE as well.

My dad used to be a wedding photographer in the early 2000s, and I helped him out during summers. We went to weddings with a variety of budgets, and we didn't always get to eat, since the food was sometimes for the guests/family members only. You know what? We didn't complain about it. Sure, it sucked not being able to eat some of that tasty-smelling food, but we just ate elsewhere or at home after we left.

Now, granted, I don't think any of the weddings we went to were shoestring budgets for personal friends of his, but he'd never delete all his work over something that petty.

I think the last sentence is the important part of this, though. They were straight-up using the man.

I'm an Earth Tiger to be more specific! Hello fellow earth brethren!

36 at the end of the year. Born in 1988.

Fitting username.

You can't be a true American patriot like recucklicans think they are, but then think Putin is the ally. Any true, red white and blue American would remember that the Russians were our #1 rival for a reason.

They would not pass the Red Scare test

24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120-year-olds here?

I mean, I guess you could secretly be 12 too (or a newborn as of today), but don't say it, or feel the wrath of the mods.

I missed it by two years, and instead am the year of the Tiger, which is still cool, but not as cool. Specifically, this is the year of the Wood Dragon. If I'm being honest, Wood Dragon is probably the lamest of the dragons, but that's beside the point.

Regardless, may peace and prosperity come to ye' mighty dragons!

If it weren't for Urkel, the show probably wouldn't have made it past season 2.

Maybe, it's hard to say. I feel like shows like pre-Urkel Family Matters survived for long times just by being comfort shows that were cheap to make.

Even if it had just as many seasons, though, it would have had zero cultural relevancy and no longevity. I'm sure Urkel got all the major actors more pay than they would have gotten as well with how popular the show was.

It was great to have a nerdy character be the main character as well. Usually, they are strictly punchlines and are mostly background characters. Urkel gave us a great taste of the zany that it otherwise would not have. Do you think Myra would ever have been a character on a non-Urkel FM?

No offense to Eddie, but his show would just have me longing for the off-the-walls Family Matter. There are just too many sitcoms based around Eddie's for me to feel that interested.

Is Dexter a villian or anti- hero?

Definitely an anti-hero, at least by typical anti-hero standards.

I'd say you fall under anti-hero if you defeat villains, through grey/evil means. Otherwise, you are just a hero, even if you are edgy.

Carmen actually made me mad. Her being a villain is a part of what makes her memorable. They turned her into a generic spy on the side of the good guy.

I think it is.

Nintendo vs Sony now. In theory, this helps Sony more since I assume the alternative for most Xbots is a PlayStation in a world without Xbox.

Which items where?

Public accounting client/team items. Our deadline is in 9 days, but I feel like we are starting to fall a little behind. The rate we are completing tasks is starting to fall behind the number of tasks we should be getting done. Some items are needed from our client, and some items are things I need to delegate to our international team and hope they get to it. They are over in India, so can't really tell what will be done until you wake up and check.

I have a laundry list of items to get to, but I'm at the point where I need to find out how to sleep too. I need to just get some items out, and maybe try to get 6 hours or so of sleep so I can have some mental repair.

Regardless of what people think of Andrew Jackson (positive or negative), you should still want him off of it. He hated the concept of paper money. It's an insult he's on one.

In a way, that's what makes it funny, though.

Urkel is the only reason anyone remembers that show. It would have been among the many forgotten family sitcoms. An Eddie-centric show would get super old real fast.

Unfortunately, today is looking to be a stressful day, followed by more stressful days. This job man, holy hell!!!

I can feel the ulcers developing. It's okay, though because I'm on week 6 of 17, which means only 11 more weeks of this after this week.

Why does Cavil have such bad judgement with choosing projects?

Eh, I don't think it's too bad of judgment as a whole. I don't think bad products are necessarily bad choices such as Superman and The Witcher since the upside was pretty big. I would say Superman ended up giving him a pretty good fanbase for an actor all things considered, and the pay was probably pretty good too. Mission Impossible was a beloved role of his, so I think he can make a good transition to either hero or villain roles, so that shouldn't restrict him too much.

I would have to say Argylle had people saying they were hoping he was in it more, so that can't ever be a bad thing imo if that's what people's overall opinions are (along with Cena). I wonder if the Apple paycheck was shared amongst the actors too since that would have boosted his pay for this role as well.

We are going to have to embrace the multi-generational housing mindset. The old will need to be taken care of by the middle, who will also be taking care of the youth. The old and youth can use their income from SS and early career income to help out, but the middle generation will need to be the one to truly be the foundational point of the household.

I know it's hated right now, but I actually kinda feel like it could become a cult classic like maybe 20 years down the line.

It had some bad effects, and it didn't quite match how I thought the trailer pointed it as being, but I enjoyed it. I think, in 20 years, when people won't judge the effects of today too harshly since many things will look outdated, that won't really be a criticism anymore. The movie won't have too much hype behind it, so people who go in will probably feel like it was better than they expected, and eventually said it was an underappreciated gem.

I think it was a solid 6/10, but I don't feel like I wasted my money seeing it in theaters.

People should have the right to die, but I also feel less strongly than I did just 5 years ago where my reason for that is I wanted that right to die for myself.

I am now much happier, and would not have realized it was possible if I had a choice back then.

Check out da dude dat played Mike, on Mike and Molly.

Holy... that's a pretty crazy change. The weight loss really suits him.

Cart Narc topics feel like I stepped into Groundhog Day.

Every time I curiously check what the current vibe of what the OP community thinks the ending timeline is going to be, it's always 5 years.

I remember reading 2024/2025 for a bit, but now people are even saying as much as until 2032.

Isn't the creator getting pretty old? Can he keep up the work rate he's been going at?

But Palworld is Japanese

Sure, but Pokemon is a very important franchise, whereas Palworld represents a disruption to it.

Honestly, Palworld probably represents a significant attack to Japanese culture; I can see why it would be considered a negative to talk about it.

I mean, while high-quality Metroid and Mario games barely break a million at best in Japan, they are making sure Pokemon consistently is a 5+ million seller, which is a part of the reason why Pokemon sales still look so good.

Is something where you just rip off something that someone else has already done wholesale really an experiment?

No, I'm talking the push to make Suicide Squad a household brand that prints money. The first movie made a lot of money, but it also was bad, and people want nothing to do with it anymore. Harley is your only character people kinda care about, but even I feel like DC has overrated her popularity to a fair extent.

Suicide Squad is a failed experiment. We are past the age that people found that idea cool.

Also, at least in Marvel's Avengers, you got to play as the heroes with cool powers. A game that features the Justice League, but you don't get to play as Supes, smh.

Nice! I'm always following the Super Mario 64 romhack scene as they put out some really creative and fun romhacks of the game. Monstrous Manor is a great one if you are itching to play 64 in a new way.

Glad these old games still have active communities around randos and romhacks where there's stuff to do outside speedrunning.

For sure nowadays. I work in public accounting, so February is when you realize you still have over half of busy season left to go and you don't have that January energy that makes you feel like it's just one week at a time. Like that feeling of "Holy, I just got through 1 month... I gotta do this 3 more times!!!"

I'm also single so v-day means nothing. :(

Itching to sit in some theater recliners. I see a reissue of part 1 is going on next weekend, and am wondering if I should snag tickets to set-up for 2.

I can't remember what the overall consensus was for that movie among people who are more so on the casual side of movie watching.

Yeah, Lex would totally say that, lmao.
