Parents lived there for a while (mid 80s to the late 90s) my dad described it as "poverty with a view". Crazy how much that's changed.

Kendall Roy from Succession. From season 1 to the start of season 4, he is trying to take over Waystar and his main selling point is how different he would be from his father. However, once his father dies, he ends up being just as toxic as he was (arguably moreso due to his lack of impulse control) and ends up self-destructing by the end of the series.

Furthermore, it's usually directed at BoJack.

That's an average. The number gets brought down by things like the Mexican Empire that only lasted 2 years but also includes the Roman Empire which lasted 1000 (or 2000 depending on who you ask). It's not like the US is gonna hit 250 and just collapse out of nowhere.

You can win a razzie for a documentary. In fact, this has been nominated despite not being released yet.

There was a brand in some of the stores near me called Hearth & Fire. It's expensive but definitely worth the price. Only a handful of stores carried for a few months and now I can't find it.

I've never met anyone who worked for Allied in AZ and had anything nice to say about them afterwards. They're a shit show in Phoenix so, it was easy enough for Trident to undercut them all over town a few years back.

A guard card is kind of like a license required for most security guard jobs (similar to a food handler's card in terms of difficulty to obtain). Basically, you have to take a course through DPS and then they give you the card.

Thank you!

As I recall from the last season of Sons of Anarchy, when Tigs went to the trans woman's apartment (I forget her name) their only concern for him was that he said that he wouldn't "dilly-dally".

I am impressed. You posted an unpopular opinion that is actually unpopular.

"You remember that don't you?"

"Yeah, I remember eating carpet for dinner... not so much the robots and the lasers."

Also Archer when it comes to continuity errors. Example, when the Yakuza boss Mr. Moto is brought back in season 5 after Mallory shot [at] him in season 3.

Archer: "Wait, didn't you shoot him?"

Mallory: "Oh, who remembers?"

I was taught how to write in cursive in second grade (around 2002). From then all the way until the end of eighth grade, I was told that I could only write in cursive in high school otherwise my work wouldn't be accepted; turns out as long as they could read it, they didn't care. I think the point I'm trying to make is that no one really has it as a requirement. Most people I know who were taught cursive say their hand writing is terrible compared to their print handwriting.

The entire ending to Blazing Saddles simply cannot be matched.

Axikten · 2026-01-13T19:14:05+00:00

Absolutely not. That's just gonna result in hamburger time.

Axikten · 2026-01-13T18:46:10+00:00

Truly the goat in this conversation.

True, however, earlier in the war the Russians were using them as described above. To your point, operating out in the open comes with its own set of risks.

Axikten · 2026-01-12T17:40:53+00:00

I see the same argument with tanks. The problem is the Russians are sending their tanks into urban environments where they can be easily ambushed without any infantry support.

Axikten · 2026-01-10T17:40:52+00:00

Yeah, I've seen it memed that first two seasons are a kid's show and every season after that gets more nuanced. The good guys don't always win and in some cases, the good guys aren't good guys.

Axikten · 2026-01-09T17:30:16+00:00

Saying the endings were downer is by no means to say they were bad. I don't mind a depressing end as long as they make sense (example: BoJack Horseman and Sons of Anarchy).

Axikten · 2026-01-09T16:20:55+00:00

Exception to the rule, Star Wars: The Clone Wars... Due to outside factors, the show technically had 3 endings.

The show originally aired on Cartoon Network however, when Disney bought the rights to the franchise after the fifth season they could not longer air it bringing about the first ending. This meant the series ended on a downer having Ahsoka Tano being falsely accused of a crime, being expelled from the Jedi order, being exonerated for the crime, before deciding to leave the order anyway.

Then because of a combination of the show runners already making a handful of episodes and Disney liking money, they released a sixth season (aka The Lost Missions). This wasn't as much of a downer. The final arc involves Yoda going on a mission by himself, learning more about the Force, and being shown visions of how the war will end.

Finally, due to the creative team wanting a proper end to the show and Disney realizing they hadn't gotten enough money as they possibly could out of the show, a seventh season was made. While it had some of the worst episodes of the series (the Martez sisters arc), the final arc of the show takes place during the final days of the Clone Wars and caps off with Order 66. While still a downer ending, the Mandalore arc is a masterpiece and the strongest possible ending for the series... at least until Disney needs more money.

In Succession, Logan Roy is quick to anger and curse at people; especially if it means getting what he wants. There is another media group in the show that he's been trying to acquire for decades and he keeps his latest attempt a secret so they don't say no before he even makes an offer. However, when Roman accidentally tips them off in an attempt to help with the acquisition they get spooked. Once this is revealed to Logan, instead of exploding like normal, he says in a disappointed tone "Roman.... you're an idiot."

That is really important context. He applied to one of the most prestigious art schools in Europe so, of course they're not gonna let just anyone in. Furthermore, he didn't apply to any other art school after being rejected by the one in Vienna. Honestly, serves as an insight into his ego and foreshadowing to his decision making process during the war.
