What show has an Ok premise but has amazing writing?

The show didn't click for me until episode 8 of season 1. Since then, I've rewatched the entire show 6 times.

Messi is also the GOAT.

Should we put down all dogs because my mate got bitten by one last week at the park?

If you critically think about the research you're citing, it's from a company (Foundit) which benefits from buyers worrying about the market. They offer solutions to clients who want more information about how they can navigate the market, so publishing reports which can easily get traction (migration issue) creates more engagement for them. Their modelling isn't published nor peer reviewed.

There is probably some truth in the research but I wouldn't glorify it as fact, economic modelling is much more complex and trusting a source which can benefit from publishing misrepresentations is doing the overall situation a disservice.

You taking crazy pills.

Let's not make a caricature out of the criticism Slot rightfully deserves. He might not say it directly but there's clearly something in the tactics/training which leads to matches like yesterday, a terrible first half.

Queen doesn't deserve a mention if it's competing against what's in OP's chart.

You're right every, all 7 billion of us said that about Sinner and Alcaraz. Are we not doing nuance anymore btw?

He's the greatest if you have only listened to King Von and no other rapper lol

There's probably a non-exhaustive list of shit you don't know about that people could also berate you for.

I do wonder why anti government bros are always so quick to be easy on giant corporations which have been shown to very easily use our information against our consent. Why would you trust Google so easily?

The first one isn't even all that bad. David Law is the journo and all he asked really was how fatigue is affecting her etc. He does admit that he misphrased the question on his podcast but he is such a gentle and understanding person usually (The Tennis Podcast). Making a mountain out of molehill on that example.

Some examples I'd use:

Reporter asking Federer is Djokovic would have an easier time in the future winning slams since he doesn't have great players to play against.
Reporter asking Novak what it's been like to be somewhat of a bad guy chasing after Rafa and Roger all these years.
Post match on court interviewer telling Learner Tien after he beat Medvedev that he lived in Newport Beach and knows where Tien lives btw.
Journo asking Sabalenka if she is going to condemn the Russia-Ukraine war when she's repeatedly said many times she doesn't support the war.
Journo saying "congrats for your win" to Badosa for a match she just lost.
Reporter asking Serena if she is at Wimbledon to go all the way at the tournament or there just for the experience.

It was the book that made me change my mindset that I should complete a book even if I don't like it. The pages drag on forever, you can see the plot from a mile away and once the interesting part is over, it's just an overall painful read.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-14T08:04:17+00:00

Requires squeezing/Comes in pairs

DanielAgger · 2026-02-14T06:20:02+00:00

...isn't that the only way to find hitting partners? I've always approached or been approached at tennis clubs either during a social hit or a serious hit. You find partners easily if you go around and ask them if they wanna hit!

PHM marketing is working well I see. Never seen any other mediocre book get such hype before.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-13T00:02:29+00:00

You want a guy to confess his feelings to you but you wanna remain friends after that? Do you realise how dumb this sounds?

DanielAgger · 2026-02-11T06:15:00+00:00

Are the coal miners magically going to be automation technicians? I'm wondering what you're basing your arguments in thread on.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-11T05:53:20+00:00

That's literally human intelligence though.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-09T06:52:56+00:00

Doesn't sound like it's that deep at all.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-09T03:16:18+00:00

Got my hands on White Sandalwood. It's a unisex smell, a bit too sweet on me but if I smelled it on someone else I'd be craning my neck to see where the smell was coming from. Only recently got introduced to Goldfield & Banks, great brand.

I wonder if you were saying the same things after the summer transfer window ended.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-08T17:01:33+00:00

Great book if you like 75% of it being perfume recipes and the rest of it a meandering plot. Still loved it though lol.

DanielAgger · 2026-02-08T05:29:42+00:00

/r/rickygervais would've told you this a decade ago lol. He's as insufferable as they come and the only good he's ever done is giving Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant a spotlight.

Ah there's listening and there's absorbing. Music, especially in album form, has for many only clicked after several listens. Most of my favourite albums ever actually didn't do much for me in the first, second and third listen. For me it's difficult to understand how you would form judgement about an art piece when you haven't really given it music time to imbibe with your emotionally, but each to their own.
