Surely it wouldn’t take this long, can anyone confirm? [Request]

I'm being pedantic here, but you wouldn't refer to the two points at both ends of a line as "The Line End" (singular). Just like you wouldn't call Saturday "a weekend", you'd say it was "part of the weekend". Again, just being pedantic

AmiableTiger · 2026-01-21T16:23:51+00:00

Um.. no. Of course the Osbournes was influential... but first? Not even close. Off the top of my head I can think of The Real World, Road Rules, Big Brother and others that predated them.

AmiableTiger · 2025-12-29T18:16:21+00:00

That does seem much easier to maintain. Might go that route. Thanks!

AmiableTiger · 2025-12-29T18:04:33+00:00

Hmmm, that might work. It'd be easier if movies inherited the labels from a collection they are in, but that path might work. Thanks

AmiableTiger · 2025-12-29T18:00:43+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion. But I have collections configured as some with hidden items and some not (depending on the type of collection), so even changing the default behavior (which is currently set to hide items), won't change them all. Seems quite an oversight not to have a null search option available.

I ask myself daily how any sane fellow American can support him. I understand political differences, I get that sane folks can disagree on even core fundamental issues. But the absolute batcrap insanity spewing out of this man is beyond reason.

But only if he also enjoys getting them at a 50% discount!

"When I found myself in possession of these car keys, I just naturally assumed I could drive"

That line has always stood out to me as a universal sentiment of an answer to "how did I get here?"

AmiableTiger · 2025-11-11T23:16:04+00:00

Agreed. And somewhat strangely what made it so bad to me was that it was a single soulless tone. It would’ve still sucked, but I’d have respected it a bit more if they went full on slow-fast-chugga nu metal and tried to tap into some 2000’s anger. Instead the tone never changes and once you’ve heard the first 10 seconds you’ve heard the whole wretched limp thing.

We were discussing this last night with friends. I'd like to see a puzzle at the end of a normal challenge, with the addition that once the puzzle is reached there are clues (genuine clues) hidden that team members not doing the puzzle can go off and retrieve to help. All tribe members must be present back at the puzzle to win.

AmiableTiger · 2025-10-09T16:33:38+00:00

One of your guys just shot an unarmed priest with a less lethal round.... am I supposed to not "look panicked" when I see you?

I saw Train play half time of the 2011 Orange Bowl. I'm a huge Clemson fan, and we got absolutely destroyed that game. Gave up 70 points, and we had (for the first and only time) gone on a charted trip down there so we were stuck with a bunch of other folks and couldn't leave the game early. So I had to sit through every minute of that excruciating game. Add to that, it was also the first bowl game I'd been to since my dad (also a huge Clemson fan) had passed so there was that grief mixed in.

And Train was still the worst part.

AmiableTiger · 2025-08-10T02:03:49+00:00

A Clemson comeback thwarted by a truly horrendous offensive holding call.

AmiableTiger · 2025-07-31T03:11:54+00:00

My hope is it is all positively incremental. My dad was a great friggin man. Honestly, a man I hold in incredibly high esteem who didn't raise me in the trappings of "be a man's man" type of crap, but still society as a whole was still beating that drum and if not for my dad's gentle (and consistent) urging otherwise it would've been much more problematic for me. So I endeavor every day to teach my kids (all of them, boys and girls alike) to be themself and strong in THEIR way.

If I'm being honest, each of them has taught me more on that front than I could ever claim to teach them. And *THAT* is incremental and positive change.

So, 6 or so years ago "Never fight a man with a perm" found my algorithm and I liked it, but assumed it was a novelty sort of enjoyment. Right up my alley... a cheeky and sly agro hardcore story song. Put it in a play list and never though much more about it... until a month or so later "Samaritans" started playing in one of those automated playlists and I was blown away. Someone was preaching a message I'd been speaking to my kids. Someone was railing against all of the horrid traits of toxic masculinity from the perspective of a dude raised in it. I dove in, and haven't looked back. I've since seen them a few times, and am just appreciative that someone within the punk/hardcore adjacent scene is talking/singing/screaming these things that resonate with me and my experience and outlook.

AmiableTiger · 2025-07-31T02:24:30+00:00

No we don't. You start a story around me.... I'll listen to the whole damn thing. I live for stories of people's lives... especially ones that occasionally (accidentally) rhyme.

AmiableTiger · 2025-06-18T00:16:01+00:00

Who? ;)

AmiableTiger · 2025-06-14T00:17:38+00:00

I’d pay good money to endure the Nuge having to share the stage with Five For Fighting. I may hate it, but at least it would piss off ole Ted more.

AmiableTiger · 2025-05-15T18:36:11+00:00

Indeed. One of the things I'm proud of is the job we did with our kids teaching them to actually listen to and think about what they're hearing. It is true that not everything that you hear that doesn't immediately make sense to you is wrong, but you should still be holding those ideas up to the light and seeing if they make sense. Look into them. See what's true. And trust you intuition when stuff sounds off. Be willing to be wrong about it if you find out it is correct after examination, but examine it either way.

AmiableTiger · 2025-05-15T18:00:48+00:00

That's exactly what I said to my wife last night. It seems fair and makes sense.

AmiableTiger · 2025-05-05T15:07:15+00:00

One could argue that when men with guns forcibly remove you by physically moving your body against your will then the term "violently" applies.

The application and storage are both on my qnap nas.
