My angry potatoes are being sleepy bunnies today

lol yeah, I got a good chuckle thinking about that image too

The very first movie I pirated was Van Wilder when it was new in theaters. It was awful quality and I still have it around here somewhere.

But I had such a crush on Ryan Reynolds at the time, the quality didn’t matter

I don’t entirely disagree with the message, but I also caution folks with that kind of mindset. If you treat their partner differently or start trash talking them, the friend could start pulling away and that could be really bad if they are in an abusive situation.

OTOH, I also understand why a person would look at their friend’s partner differently in certain situations.

Or I’m just reading into it too much. It’s probably me reading into it too much lol

That sounds amazing and I might have to try it lol

I’m a millennial in my 40s who is starting to get back into old tech from my late teens to early 20s. So far I have a Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, old cheap phone turned dedicated MP3 player/mobile video device, and a boombox that does CDs, aux, AMFM radio, and has Bluetooth capabilities. The boombox is newer, but still plays CDs. I like having dedicated devices that don’t do everything.

The old cheap phone is nice because I can load it with music or movies and it saves battery life when I stream on my phone. The DSs are because that is my favorite handheld system and there are a ton of games that you can get for cheap or free. The boombox is because I dragged out all of my old CDs, found a lot of good cheap ones at thrift stores.

I’m just tired of paying for all the streaming services and owning nothing. So I’m going backwards in time with my tech.

I do the same with chile relleno whenever I go to a New Mexican restaurant. It’s a meal that is hard to badly fuck it up and even when it’s only pretty ok, it’s still tasty enough to finish.

I also just love chile relleno so I usually get it anyway

That’s exactly how we are going to get through my TMNT booster box. It’s still sealed in original plastic. We’ll probably do sealed or draft or maybe I can come up with a way to get some Conspiracy cards in there. That could be a lot of fun.

I don’t play standard anymore, but when I did, I would buy a booster from each set too. I mostly stick to EDH now though.

It’ll definitely do that!

I’ve had this username for decades and never got a username checks out. lol thanks for the chuckle! 💚

Guys are absolutely missing out because skirts and dresses are awesome. Sometimes on hot days, I’ll move my skirt more because it’s hot and my partner says I’m “cooling down the vag”. He’s absolutely correct, it feels great on hot days and I bet guys would love it if y’all would try it out. Get yourself a kilt and go for it man.

It is about the e-ink labels. I don’t disagree that companies like Walmart will use it to be scammy, but I believe all companies should switch to those. I also believe there should be laws against dynamic pricing to avoid this type of issue.

When I worked in retail, we would have a team of 6 spend 4 hours going through the entire store to swap out every single price tag before the store opened. It didn’t matter if the price stayed the same because the tags had expiration dates and customers would get their panties in a bunch over it. The amount of plastic waste created by weekly and daily price changes is insane.

Last copy I saw went on eBay for $85, I’ve never noticed it lower than $150 before that. My library has it in ebook and audiobook, but I would like a copy of my own. I downloaded one and I still want to support the author so I have no issue with buying it on sale. I will probably buy it and print it out at my library at some point because I do just prefer to read a physical copy of something.

Thanks for the tips and link!

I prefer physical books myself, but I’m always ok to read an ebook if that’s how I can get a story. Do you have a preferred place to get them? There are a few that I would love to own, but a used copy is significantly too expensive.

I’m looking at you A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson at over 100 bucks

Yep! That was one of the reasons I started cutting mine all off. My hair would be in ponytails all day every day, look like that, and get all knotted up, so I said fuck it and got a mohawk :)

I’ve been picking up old ST novels at thrift stores for $1-2. I only have a handful, but the ones I’ve read are pretty good. It’s like reading an extended episode of ST.

I can see where some of the jokes drag on a bit, but I’m personally ok with that. I’ve rewatched it a bunch of times when I use the elliptical or stationary bike at the gym. I feel like the extra laughs give my abs a workout 🤷‍♀️ lol. I laugh my ass off at “The power of Patty compels you!!” and “Is it more or less disgusting if I tell you it came out the front?” every single time. I adore Holtzman so much.

For me, the new ones don’t have a redeeming quality, that’s not the kid actors faults though. Afterlife came out when we still weren’t going to theaters because of COVID. I was very excited for it and I bought it at full price the day it came out on iTunes. I watched it that night and the first thing I remember saying after it was over was “what the fuck was that shit?” All that nostalgia baiting cash grabbing was gross. And the CGI Egon at the end made me feel sick to my stomach, it felt disrespectful to Harold Ramis. I can’t even bring myself to be interested in Frozen Empire.

I often see people complain that a franchise “forgot” what they are supposed to be about and IMO, that is exactly what happened with GBA and GBFE. They completely forgot that GB is a raunchy horror comedy and made a family friendly coming of age “scary” movie. It’s an entirely different genre.

I don’t just wear clothes at home, I wear specific clothes that I only wear inside my own home.

I disagree, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call received way more hate than it deserved. I really enjoyed it and I have rewatched it a bunch of times, more than I’ve rewatched Ghostbusters 2. Holtzman is my favorite character and I love the goofy dance she does with Abby. And I love Chris Hemsworth’s character, he does big goofy handsome guy really well.

It was way better than the last 2. I watched Afterlife once and I have no interest in watching Frozen Throne at all.

Agreed!! It was released at the perfect age for me. I was 11 and devoured it, then tore through the next two as soon as they were released!
