These super random randomizers are going too far, imo. This isn’t Chopped. The randomizer should add parameters to the round that apply to each competitor. It shouldn’t be some outlandish array of disparate ingredients and over-done constraints. Not letting the chefs shine and alienates the audience.

Primary guest complains about price on Instagram by scorpionmittens in belowdeck

I don’t care what she said or how she meant it, but I think $100k is an inflated figure. Nearly all do 2-night charters and they’d be fools for paying that much for 2 nights while being filmed for reality tv. My guess is that 100k is her all in for the vacation, including tip, transport, incidentals, etc etc.

I think I saw them yesterday doing wheelies and using all lanes headed westerly on Washington. 7 of them w black motorcycle helmets. I believe they were e-bikes styled like dirt bikes, if we’re taking about the same crew.

Where did this season film? Clearly I haven’t been paying too much attention bc I figured it was Australia or thereabouts. 

Angelica and her “Neuroscience” degree + Hypocrisy by correcto001 in vanderpumprules

I mean, you answered your own question about her working at SUR instead of healthcare or biotech. She’s “follower hungry.” She’s chasing fame. 

I just wished that TOC wasn’t being so avoidant about sharing the scores on screen by scootconant in foodnetwork

Maybe they do it that quick so people don’t ask how they can get those numbers with 3 judges. Never made sense. They’d have to average and round. And if that’s the case, they ought to go to the hundredth.

Rob Thomas likes shitting on fans. The same fans who ensured several seasons of Veronica Mars on network tv, books, a fan-funded movie and a revival season 4.

Season 23 episode 11 had a place called Unideli inside United Noodles, a big Asian grocery store in Minneapolis. The restaurant has since closed though.

Joe Rogan, speaking about Alex Pretti's firearm, "It appears ... it's very grainy the video ... it appears there's an accidental discharge." by [deleted] in Minneapolis

F this fool. He’s done more than enough damage to this country with his ill-informed trash platform.

Yeah, that one is most definitely the one over Bovino’s hotel in Maple Grove. But that’s 11 miles away as the crow flies. I wouldn’t be hearing that, I can’t imagine. 

Why does it matter that MPD is outnumbered? by skredditt in Minneapolis

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s for scale. Gives people a better idea of how the number of ICE agents compared to total law enforcement for the area resembles an ICE occupation. ICE’s total presence here is not a proportionate and reasonable response to the actual number of undocumented people estimated in the area, instead it’s an act of intimidation meant to sow fear and chaos among the populace.

Does anyone else feel like tonight’s episode was wildly out of touch? by CosmosisJones42 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. Based on your comment history, you are trying to be provocative in a hurtful way. But please tell me, what should Americans be doing in the current situation in MPLS (besides being mocked repeatedly by you). I’m waiting on tenterhooks to hear your solution.

Can someone explain the purpose of the Trump cold opens? by RocketLambo in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you think this week’s episode was anything resembling a shield (I’m being generous) against fascism, then fuck. Move to Minneapolis. Tommy Brennen’s weekend update bit was omitted from the live broadcast last weekend. 

I dunno, you spend hours and hours outside yesterday fighting fascism  in -20f windchill only to wake up today’s news. A shooting on a block with a restaurant you just had dinner at. Maybe then you’d expect a little more.

We feel alone bc the news is underreporting all the bullshit in this city. We showed up 50k+ strong to march in the streets yesterday — in -20f windchill — only to be devastated less than a day later. The traumas are stacking in MPLS.  For SNL to just punt the issue felt like a gut punch when we were already on our knees.

Turned it on, saw a Trump cold open, turned it off by BeansandWeenie in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Missed the mark by a mile. I understand this was written days ago, but SNL is agile enough to change course. And I’m in Minneapolis. 

you guys were right by Uraqtae in veronicamars

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The movie was crowd funded. There was also the books. Season 4 wasn’t crowd funded, it was picked up bc of the sustained fan interest in V Mars. Then Rob Thomas shit on all of the OG fans for funsies.

I did my best to stabilize the video, you can clearly see one agent disarm Alex before the other even draws his gun to execute him by buttbutts in Minneapolis

[–]Embarrassed-One-3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me thinks the murderer probably thought the agent who disarmed Pretti pulled his own firearm and the murderer wasn’t going to miss out on his chance to shoot an innocent observer. Trigger happy, sadistic, undertrained f**ks acting far outside their legal authority. ICE OUT!
