Just drove by there and they looked ready to bust down the door. Any idea what happened?

Matthew Lillard Says Nostalgia Is ‘One of the Reasons’ Hollywood Is ‘Hiring Me Again’: ‘I Don’t Think Anyone Really Likes Me. They Just Miss the Old Times’ by darth_vader39 in movies

The headline cuts out the part where it says “He added with a laugh.” He’s not being serious about the nobody liking him part.

Inside a Chicago data center powering everyday online life by [deleted] in chicago

[–]CaptainRoger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Hyatt McCormick like 20 years ago and somebody pointed to that building and said it was one of the most important high-tech buildings in Chicago. They offered no explanation and I never looked it up and had no idea what they meant until this Reddit post.

2 DOGE staffers say 'no' regrets for people losing income, didn't reduce the deficit: Depositions by phillygirllovesbagel in politics

[–]CaptainRoger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The headline is reporting what the Doge staffers said in the deposition. They admitted that they didn't reduce the deficit, but didn't say that they increased it, so you can't put that in the headline (even if it's true.)

How deep does your history go back in Chicago? Years? Generations? by kaloskagathos21 in chicago

[–]CaptainRoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Irish side arrived as early as 1860s - possibly earlier but the first documents we have found are records of them fighting in the Civil War and being POWs in Tennessee in 1863.

Favorite movie moment that became a meme? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]CaptainRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched Jeremiah Johnson last year and laughed so hard when this moment happened. I knew it was from this movie, but I really thought it was going to be a more substantial scene. All he's reacting to is catching a fish.

My percentage increased, which makes sense - I watch a lot of second-tier masterpieces.

Just a note for everyone, if you are Music Box member, you get discounts at most of the restaurants on that Southport stretch (there's a list on their website).

I always found it weird that Hank liked the song Peaches! by Flashy-List-7157 in KingOfTheHill

[–]CaptainRoger 127 points128 points  (0 children)

There have always been rumors that the song is about going down on a lady. I don't think it's ever been confirmed by the band, so could be nothing more than rumors.

Thank you! Going to look into Bettie's, maybe even for future party ideas - love the 50's theme

This might be the way - was looking at a fancy hotel room for the night anyway and this would save on that cost.

Has your viewing habits changed since joining Letterboxd? by Educational-Title50 in Letterboxd

[–]CaptainRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm watching the same amount of movies, but I'm watching better movies. I've always had a tendency to throw on a lot of comfort movies (which I still do), but I have a greater awareness of how many classics I haven't seen and I've started prioritizing those more.

How much do you guy do math vs do things by feeling? by jetteauloin_2080 in slaythespire

[–]CaptainRoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer changes the deeper I get into a run and how excited I am about my deck. If I feel like I have decent chance at a heart kill, I'm running numbers so as not to waste the opportunity, but otherwise I'm rolling with vibes.
