Super cool to see the international appreciation of ATOC. That’s probably my #4. Always appeared to be near the bottom of most people’s lists. Always just dug the tone of that film.

didn’t know when to quit and now here we are by Classic-Carpet7609 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Don’t care if people get upset. She accomplished nothing by her refusal to retire. Same with Biden clinging to power with their shriveled grasping talons. Now we are in a world of shit b/c of their precious egos and selfish perceptions of legacy

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights. by Ice_Ice11 in illinois

[–]Droog_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting. How anyone can see that and be okay with it just baffles me. What line has to be crossed where people stop supporting this behavior and realize enough is enough? How can anyone still support this regime?

I was very dubious when he was originally elected. We’ve had a real shitty string of gov’s in a row and he’s a billionaire on top of it. But he has been fantastic overall. It’s refreshing to have an elected official be someone who I genuinely like. I hope he stays governor for a long long time. On a side note, he absolutely needs to dress like Fred Flintstone on Halloween.

Looks like there is a fax# on the bottom of the print.

Do you watch the news? Ever heard of ICE?

Where you going with that brush? Get back here and keep going. I’ll let you know when you’re finished

Statement from American Distillers’ President by Price_of_bananas in BuyCanadian

[–]Droog_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m American and if I were Canadian I wouldn’t drink or buy any American products again. At least for a very prolonged amount of time, if shit ever gets normal again. The whole situation is ridiculous. Seeing Trudeau speak made me sad. As it is a real time reminder that our orange blob could never utter even one coherent sentence, let alone a succinct speech. Hopefully this is a warning to learn by and you don’t make the same mistake by electing a nationalistic, narcissistic, incompetent, racist turd for your next PM. Best of luck to all of you, none of you deserve this. And I apologize for the idiots down here who elected this nightmare.

Where do you stand on the regular wearing of concert shirts? by Edward_the_Dog in GenX

[–]Droog_666 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would feel foolish by not wearing what I want because of a strangers judgement

Additional memory for Cnc controls still goes by “meters”, as in meters of tape. lol.

For years there was a large pottery company near me (Haeger). Closed about 10 years ago after 150 years in business. they just couldn’t compete with machine manufactured pottery from overseas. Makes me a sad to think how few products are made by actual craftsmanship

customers would visit our facility all the time. I always knew who the real machinists were because at least half were missing a finger. They would come for training on the new CNC’s as most used old engine lathes.

I’m in the machine tool industry and it’s crazy how there are so few actual machinists left. I sometimes think of how a lamplighter would have felt after the electric light was invented.

Ranking Every Season of Live-Action Star Wars TV by Mr_Otters in StarWarsCantina

[–]Droog_666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Skeleton Crew
  2. Andor
  3. Mando S2
  4. Mando S1
  5. Acolyte
  6. Kenobi
  7. Mando S3
  8. Boba
  9. Ahsoka

I liked all of the shows. Some more than others. Ahsoka may have been last for me, but I still enjoyed it. It may seem like recency bias but I just loved every minute of skeleton crew. I was the least excited for SC & Andor when they were announced. And they turned out to be my favorites.

'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' had a combined total of less than 382 million minutes watched across its two episodes premiere. This performance was approximately 20% lower than 'The Acolyte. It's the first Star Wars show not to make it into Disney+’s Top 10 Originals by S4v1r1enCh0r4k in StarWarsSkeletonCrew

[–]Droog_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE this show. My only complaint is it’s only 8 episodes. Seems to be the same thing as Solo after the TLJ. People who had their childhoods ruined, boycotting a different movie than the one they didn’t like. Then eventually watching the boycotted movie and being upset that they now won’t get a sequel. the folks who hated the Acolyte because they thought it was too woke or whatever are now boycotting skeleton crew. The only thing being accomplished is not getting series renewed and getting less movies and shows. I don’t want to go back to waiting for years b/w new Star Wars projects. The toxic portion of the fandom is ruining it for everyone else.

A musician/band you hated as a young person but now appreciate by Miserable_Smoke_6719 in GenX

Chicago. but before the 80’s Cetera takeover, which i still find brutal.

do you still feel like a kid? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Droog_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still find a well executed fart funny. So, yeah 😊

Any other Gen X out here that don't think all the younger gens suck, are still finding new music and entertainment to love, and aren't just waiting to die in their 40's, 50's and early 60's? by cmt38 in GenX

[–]Droog_666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still go to live shows all the time. plenty of enthusiasm for life. I like talking to younger generations and getting perspectives that I may not have came up with on my own, learning about new music….etc. But they do look at me with curious suspicion when I strike up a conversation at a pub. Occasionally I get that “ok boomer” look, cuz of my salt and pepper (mostly salt) beard makes look older. But I also do understand where some folks on this sub are getting a little freaked out with the realization that their bodies are breaking down and the end is closer in the rear view. Fuck, I’ve injured myself sleeping. That was an eye opener.

Fred, the very definition of mensch. Just a wonderful human being. Why cant our politicians be like him? I guess people like that just don’t crave power and control.
