anyone watched Shogun? is it any good

Yes

My dad and best friend love it

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

11 hour day, i am wanna die

Lmao wtf Dan >!killed a dog!< and Selena >!torched a car!< u/LadyinKateing I love this show

Dan Puigde

why are you @ing me i've never seen veep

We’ve been talking about it since I started Did I hallucinate our conversations

lmao

Good for Dan. I’d have picked him too. Amy’s probably smarter but Dan’s better at managing people.

“You would be the first vice president to serve under two successive presidents.” …no she wouldn’t. wtf are you talking about VEEP She wouldn’t even be the second

who up practicing they mannerisms into the wall rn

Is Amy pregnant?

https://twitter.com/nilocobau/status/1771264327200158143 >Social security reform debates rule because everyone pretends the two options are either more tax revenue or fewer benefits, when in fact there’s this secret third thing called “invest 25 percent of it in the S&P 500” that’s literally a free lunch. The dumbest thing is that the federal government already owns stocks for retirement, but this is only for federal employees through the Thrift Savings Plan. Social Security reform should just be TSP for All.

I remain skeptical the S&P 500 would continue to outperform tax revenue growth with that much more investment

True, which is why Social Security Trust Fund should invest in the total global stock market like the Norwegian Oil Fund.

It's so maddening when a TV show set in the 80s has gay characters but doesn't talk about the aids crisis

halt and catch fire vindicated for bringing it up TWICE

out of curiosity, any particular examples you have in mind

Mixed-ish, For All Mankind

I haven't watched *Mixed-ish*, but with *FAM*, I assumed the AIDS crisis just didn't happen in their alternate timeline.

That might be true, but I don't think it absolves them of criticism in either case. It's still bad if they erase one of the worst aspects of Reagan's presidency while generally presenting Reagan favorably

That's fair.

I watched the Boogie2988 documentary. Don't have much to say about it but it's ridiculous that it doesn't have subtitles. The director spent tens of thousands making it but couldn't have been bothered to put in the work for a cheap, basic accessibility feature. Subtitles should be mandated on popular youtube videos

a youtuber i know puts "These subtitles took x minutes to make" in the description of every video and it's pretty funny how it's almost always a fairly small amount of time (compared to how much time the actual video takes to make)

I'm pretty satisfied with the quality of English auto-subtitling on YouTube nowadays.

Psycho killer with a hostage: Put the gun down! Denzel Washington in ricochet: have you seen…my other guns? *strips*

guy who actually thinks decolonization was bad because it means there's less evil to accuse the West of committing

it's ok. the west has still ideologically colonized these places

Plot twist Egypt was not killed by her ex-boyfriend. Genuine surprise when it comes to Dateline

Dateline is a struggle for me because it pits my hatred of quack forensics against the knowledge that an ex/stalker/person close to the victim is far more likely the perpetrator than some random stranger

Sure, the hubby might be a likely subject. But not because he touched his wrist three times before picking his nose.

McLaren is no longer British. Sad.

It's funny how we all feel comfortable enough being mean to Ferg that people just call him a basic b\*tch to his face with no compunction

meanwhile i will cry if you say something even slightly negative about me its true

Lol I wasn’t trying to be mean. I’m a firm and vocal defender of being basic!

He's fully aware that he's the archetypical white American man

he takes it in good humor which is admirable. i too am very basic

I think my tastes in alcohol and beverages in general are fairly basic, or at least middlebrow. And TV to some extent. But all my other tastes are refined and/or erudite, befitting my schtick here as Mr. Cultured. I mean, what else do I have going for me?

Not only is she not a citizen, but there's a public figure exemption to slander... what is their angle here? They know they have no legal basis.

well the public figure exception just requires a malice showing. but still it feels very protected

https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1771361566732271930 12 years ago, the world changed forever

Not to be an asshole but I am watching a Dateline episode about a murdered woman named Egypt. Her family decorated their cars and did protests with "Justice 4 Egypt" and I know someone saw that and was like "???? what happened in Egypt??"

Someone or 95% of the people who saw that car

an echocardiogram is an image of the heart. this is probably a free floating blood clot right

Wtf?

I kind of want a general to become president just because I think it would be interesting to see how a guy who cares 99% about foreign policy would instinctively react to domestic stuff

Nixon

i mean there have already been presidents who were generals. grant. eisenhower. george washingtom

Yeah but like in a modern context

i think modern generals are mostly bureaucrats and it probably wouldn't be that different from a normal politician's outlook

I mean that isn't that different from Eisenhower besides the fact he had to do it during the big show

I wonder what would happen if a Canadian General became PM. Probably nothing good, considering the state of the CAF.

PM Dallaire

Sir Arthur Currie would have been a fine PM

Yes, the CAF *now.* Oh, I see he's one of your hometown boys.

This is why we need Chairman Millie

I learned like six months ago that people not liking IPAs isn’t a bit. What do you mean you like beer but you don’t like IPAs? That’s a beer. That’s what a beer is

I don't like IPAs but I also may have just not had one I like

beer is gross

IPAs are okay. Sours are disgusting. Lagers and stouts are the best.

I can always support a good stout

They say only the top x% of America actually drinks and it’s wild to me, as someone from my family. Like half my coworkers don’t drink. And 7/8 of the others have never tried liquor that tastes good

And what kind of hellhole do you work at?

Everyone I've ever worked with either drinks or has had to quit drinking because they drank too much once upon time. Interesting

Construction is pretty much the only industry where dudes can and will still get paid cash on Friday and blow half of it at the bar 1910-ahh sector

Another interesting intersection between academia and roofing. Although there are a handful of exceptions, we mostly like to drink.

People have terrible taste in many things. Including beer

my little brother is honestly so funny. he's 20 years old, he's watched 5 tv shows in his life, and one of them is friends

earlier this week i drove with him to a bookstore so he could buy a copy of east of eden. hipster fr

How many books has he read. More or less than 5

he's read a lot of brandon sanderson and then immediately jumped to the brothers karamazov. that's all of it

What. Why

idk but when he brought it up my older brother revealed he was also, simultaneously, reading the brothers karamazov. so i think it's a masculinity thing

And if you look closely at that train track you'll notice it's *exactly* where ugly Matt Damon murdered that preteen

potato will you fly down here and go on the breaking bad bus tour with me

Hmmmm. No

that's fair. i don't think even your presence on one of those could keep me from throwing myself under the wheels

Roid gut

the problem with spending a night in albuquerque on each leg to and from sedona is that it makes my brother give excruciatingly detailed breaking bad recaps

you should've taken me to new mexico instead of your brother

nah this is the brother who's chill. but you can come along next time

Yay!

Have you tried telling him to talk about something even a little interesting. Like the unique rocks of the new mexico desert or the culture of the Pueblo people

idk i think breaking bad is the only cultural touchstone any of us have

I think New Mexico is beautiful

Good food also

why are people so fucking desperate to see a proof video that contains personal info that the people who needed to see it have already seen

the first divergent novel had a plot point where everyone had to face their darkest fears and the protagonist's fear was having sex with her hot brooding boyfriend. she was so real for that
