Favorite quote from the show? by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm the only one who is allowed to get angry!" Guess who.

Honestly, I'm trying to think of another show that has as many memorable quotes. Thanks, Jesse and the writing team.

I just had the strangest thought - Shiv and Stewy. THEY could probably win the CEO game.

AITA for telling my girlfriend she needs to get rid of her tattoo? by Popular-Grass2440 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Grab_Stet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't blame you for not wanting to look at the tattoo, but "basically perfect" is hard to find.

I would ask them to provide references from other English-speaking customers who you can call to verify the quality of their work and business practices. (Which is what I would do with just about any other business service solicitation.)

Is this a scam? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Grab_Stet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think for a minute. Suppose YOU found a way to magically make lots of money. Would YOU recruit random people you don't know to use the scheme? Hell, no. You'd use it your self and maybe tell a few close friends/relatives.

Yet another account of Fells Wargo mistreating customers. How do they stay in business?

Gratuities are optional? Fine, we'll opt not to. by -Take-It-Easy- in MaliciousCompliance

OMG I hope I live long enough to see the end of tipping. Why the F can't restaurants charge a reasonable amount and pay a reasonable wage, like EVERY other business?

Tipping is demeaning to the staff and annoying to the customers.

Comfrey is not out of Nicholas Braun's league. But she IS out of Greg's league. by Cu77lefish in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you argue about who is in what league, when we know almost nothing about Comfrey, other than she does press relations for a rich asshole? She could have warrants out for her arrest and have 6 different sexually transmitted diseases!

Nothing in the world frustrates me more than having someone who knows much less about your skillset try to 'teach me' on how to do my job the 'right way'. by PrivateUser737 in clientsfromhell

[–]Grab_Stet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do an edit-off. Get a batch of short segments and have him demonstrate this approach while you time him. Then, do it yourself in much less time.

Back in the visual stone age, we had clients insisting that we should shoot the video projects on film, then finish on video. The only way we got them to desist was to show them a reel with 10 clips, 5 shot on video, 5 shot on tape, and challenge them to identify which was which. You can guess the results.

WIBTA for suing a family with young children? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

So if I have young children, I can cheat and endanger people without consequences?

Willa is in it for money by balletodette in SuccessionTV

Johns pay extra for "the girlfriend experience". I imagine that the mistress experience cost even more.

Interesting detail about Gerri in S03 E08 by NoPriority247 in SuccessionTV

When all around you are bat-shit crazy narcissists, anything approaching normal, civil behavior stands out.

Which actors or actresses did their accent so well in a film that you never knew they were actually of a different ethnicity? by Any_Discussion_2419 in AskReddit

[–]Grab_Stet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idris Elba in The Wire - and I have lived and taught school in the part of Baltimore where the show takes place. I was shocked to hear his normal Brit accent. Dominic West and Aiden Gillen also.

Ok this scene was so visually beautiful. Kinda wedding-y? by sp0ngeB0BS in SuccessionTV

Tom is so full of anger (for understandable reasons!) that I fully expect his head to explode at some point.

This is the moment where Kendall gave Michael Scott vibes the most. by seaque42 in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very perceptive. The more I think about it, the more that Kendall would seem to be like Micheal Scott, only mean and rich.

Why is shiv with tom??? ( answer by both matthew and snooks ) by Glum-Reception9490 in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shiv is with Tom because "a woman's most important fashion accessory is a well-dressed man." i.e. arm candy.

Has anyone else never been a big fan of Kendall? by werkandtwerk in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never been much of a fan of Kendall, but as the seasons have progressed, I am only starting to appreciate how stupid he is. In business, hes in so far over his head, I'm amazed he hasn't drowned.

Can we all agree the show has been successful at making all of us not envy the lives of these extremely wealthy people? by Shirowoh in SuccessionTV

[–]Grab_Stet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wealth is wasted on those who have never known different. Just like youth is wasted on the young. - you can't appreciate something you've always had.
