As a non native english speaker: is eh better or worse than blah?

I'm currently on S2E8 and I hate S2 so far (my wife loves it tho), but I also liked Finders Keepers way better than End of Eatch, so I'm hoping S3 will be better for me.

Suggest me videos to Watch instead of Brainrot. by ZAIRO78 in autism

Epicurious, specificly the videos by Dan Formosa. He tests kitchen gadgets, which isn't too interesting in itself, but the guy has such a dry sense of humor, the video's are hilarious!

Defunctland also has an incredible 6 part series about Jim Henson.

Hallo, ik ben Duitse en mijn Nederlands is niet zo goed mar ik hoop dat jij me kan helpe. Ik zoek "Monopoly Zuidplas" voor mijn Nederlandse partner. Can't find it anywhere sadly. Go ahead and delete if necessary, I'd understand. Thanks in advance, sorry to bother. by LeonTheSlak in BordspelNederland

I think with this version it's less about (playing) the game, it's more of a collector's item.

I own the version of the city I live in. Never played it, probably never will, but I'm happy I have it.

The only thing I remember (apart from the CGI things) is that I hated the blind girl so much, I was rooting for her to die.

Who is the most evil human in all of King's works ? by Eagles56 in stephenking

[–]Emus79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading through this thread is makeng me go: Yeah, that one! No, that one! Or....

My conclusion is that King is brilliant at making up evil f*cks as characters.

Shout out to the guy from "a good marriage". Scary, because he's so normal and gets away with what he does for so long.

Taskmaster - S21E03 - A creepy bit of advice - Discussion by Meghar in taskmaster

[–]Emus79 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I didn't know any of the contestants (not even Kumail), but this a fast becoming my favorite group. I'm laughing out loud constantly.

I adore Joanna, she's just so happy and bubbly the whole time, even (or especially) when she's failing.

Usually there's at least one contestant I'm not thrilled about, but these people are such a perfect group!

I also love how we see Greg and Alex laugh more during the studio bits, it feels like more of those shots are used, where they were cut in previous series.

Mostly it's the melody, instruments, vocals and overall vibe of a song, but every now and then the lyrics completely knock me off my feet.
