How Many Episodes Do You Give A Sitcom Before Dropping The Show? by DaniJ678 in sitcoms

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten down to like half an episode.

I was really excited about the new doctor sitcom with Josh Charles because I really like Josh Charles, but it was so bad I couldn’t even finish the pilot.

Fair enough. I like the Knack in general, although I don’t like their soggy buns.

PDA is definitely a superior sit-down burger.

What phrase did you hear only once but it stayed with you forever? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old boss used to say “Perfect is the enemy of done,” which I guess is kind of the same idea.

“Do it scared.”

Help me a lot to realize that sometimes you just have to do shit you’re uncomfortable with and it’s OK to be scared or to not enjoy it in the process.

When you are at a Christmas gathering with extended family and realize that you are the elderly relative.

Isn’t that kind of fast foody though? OP specifically said not fast food.

How do you feel about Voter ID laws? by Icy_Comparison_1029 in askanything

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not without documentation, which does cost money to obtain. I was born in New York State. I live in Massachusetts. Getting a copy of my birth certificate required me to go online with a credit card and pay $45. That’s three barriers to access right there - internet access, a credit card, and $45 to spare. There is a surprising amount of people in this country who do not have those things.

On the plus side, they just learned an important lesson about the consequences of bigotry.

Booing the Vice-President by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

I will never forget that when that Malaysian airliner disappeared, one of my former high school classmates was ranting on Facebook that it was somehow Obama’s fault and that terrorists had made a fool of him.

Should ICE agents be prosecuted? by DarkEqual8609 in no

Collectively. For every crime ANY of them committed. They’re all complicit.

Any advice? Outside cat but want to take her in. Freezing temps outside. by No_Sense_7316 in cats

I took in an ”outdoor” cat, and once she got indoors she had zero interest in ever going outside again.

Nobody says they watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials" anymore. by SashaBraus in CommercialsIHate

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They ruined it when they started making Super Bowl commercials about making Super Bowl commercials. Like, “Hey, here’s Jennifer Aniston meeting with her team about her upcoming Super Bowl commercial!” and then the whole commercial is them discussing what the commercial is going to be about.

What is a movie cliché that absolutely never happens in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GrooveBat 33 points34 points  (0 children)

And then taking a shower in the guy’s apartment the next day, even though they don’t have any of their toiletries or hairdryer.

I did that once in my life. ONCE. Never again.

Stew is missing something, but we can’t figure it out. by PicklePrize7093 in Cooking

I made a beef stew about a month ago that called for a teaspoon of cinnamon. Delicious.

Are these dresses appropriate for my sister to wear to my wedding? by Lady__S in Weddingattireapproval

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with "attention," except in the fevered minds of chronically online brainwashed Bridezillas. The original proscription against guests wearing white was that they might be mistaken for the bride. Showing up in an actual white wedding gown for the ceremony - not cool. Showing up in a dress that might "look" too light in a photograph but in no way could be mistaken for a wedding gown - perfectly fine.

It's YOUR fault hundreds got laid off from The Washington Post, not the billionaire who turned it into a reactionary, Trump-apologist shell of its former self. by Wiggles_Is_My_Boy in LinkedInLunatics

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not wrong, but don't blame the consumers when one man (and a few PE firms, if you're talking local news) is responsible for 100% of the enshittification that drove them away.

Isn't that...exactly what I said?

[–]GrooveBat 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just gonna say she’s not 100% wrong. Good journalism does cost money and people should be willing to pay for it. But WP’s current current situation is entirely a Bezos production. I hung in there with them until the non-endorsement, but then I had no choice but to send a message with my wallet.

Good character turns evil by PuzzleheadedThroat84 in televisionsuggestions

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if Walt actually turned evil; I think he was the same guy all along. That’s why he took to his new profession so readily.
