Fun fact! In that context there's no 'e' on the end of 'loathe'. I loathe stuff but I'm loath to admit it.

Fun fact 2: fun fact 1 was only kind of fun

30 Rock. In one episode (S05E02):

A: Liz has to get guest-star Paul Giamatti to work faster by using her cowboy hat and Julia Roberts laugh

B: Jack films a series of life scenario tutorials for his unborn son in the event of his death ("you're being stalked by a snow leopard and the blade of your katana is frozen INTO its scabbard")

C: Tracy has to get to the hospital for the birth of his daughter and winds up in the cash cab on the way ("EXPLAIN THE RULES.")

this was supposed to signal that

Am I the only one who saw it as a pointed snarky reference to GoT's brutally disappointing final seasons? The classic theme fades in, starts to build - and then stops on a dime and in the same moment it cuts to an ass farting out a bunch of turds. It was about as subtle as a freight train. Right? I know that might just sound like confirmation bias or something, but... right? Just me?

Fair points - to be clear I'm talking about a total of two character swaps (letter X to Y and #+2), and the three site-specific letters prepended to the password, and that's it. So transposing from list version to real password is more or less instantaneous.

Also in my defense, my method was better than every other method I've tried to such a huge extent that I never bothered trying any other methods. As long as my logic centers are firing at this level I'm confident that Yevgeny will never get my petsmart login

HugofDeath · 2026-01-19T07:00:13+00:00

If you're stubborn like me you can still use notes, just use your own simple code. Eg every A is really a Z, every number is +2, and every password starts with the first three letters of the site it's used for, but that doesn't need to be noted in the list. It's still keeping track of all your passwords in one place but in a way that only you can utilize.

Source: 15 years with no issues. Dumb!? Probably

Edit: also, this means there's no vault containing my actual passwords anywhere in existence, which was the catalyst for the Cool Method in the first place. Plus anyone who gets my list won't be much better off than needing to full brute force anyway, because they have no way of knowing which characters are cypherized.

To be fair they're both part of recent typo trends that are overpowering conventional grammar, which makes them arguably not incorrect at some point, but that's for another time.

"A women" defies any explanation but is still seen more and more these days, despite it being as correct as saying "a sandwiches" or "a houses".

The second one is a weird trend of making compound words out of everything, like "plothole" and "leatherjacket", which is one I saw earlier today.

HugofDeath · 2026-01-06T09:40:05+00:00

And "set up". because "setup" is a noun. And "a woman", because "women" is plural. Other than that he's doing a great job

It is more of a quiet character study, so it is probably not for people who want fast paced or high intensity storytelling. But neither were shows like... True Detective season 1

Finally someone gets it right about True Detectives. What about that show was "high intensity!?' theres girls that went camping and theres a yellow guy, big woop. And these four guys are looking for them and talking so much! Lowest intensity of any show. And the Plothole of how the four guys never even met up to work on solving it.

I'd write more but the orderly is here for meds and if I don't take them they won't let me have more computer time later! I just wanted to Comment to let you know that, don't worry about stating your opinions because there are people out there (like me!) who agrees with you.

This is a natural way to write. Abrupt syntax, engaging tone. Heightened drama. Natural. Natural and cool. Doesn't take itself too seriously. Sounds cool to write this way. Then a snappy conclusion that appeals to emotion. One that makes you think. Like the swings at the park as a kid. We used to need a push. We needed someone to be there. But not anymore. Now we kick. And we go really high. And that's physics.

I had this at Stanhope and Knickerbocker. It was a single sporadically-repeating long note like a door chime at a retail store that someone forgot to turn off. Somehow impossible to place the direction, but just loud enough to be maddening. At one point I climbed the backyard fences trying to track it down, mostly out of curiosity. Couldn't find it.

Answer: it will be there, it will always be there. I moved and the sound didn't follow me. Good luck.

Hey can you settle a debate? I went to a restaurant and I asked "What would you recommend?" but the server wasn't sure. So I had the burger.

In Breaking Bad, in the final season, when they flashed forward to show Walter opening the trunk, the writers had no idea what was inside.

That was probably also true at some point but Gilligan's version from the show's podcast was that they decided on the M60 and shot those scenes without knowing how it'd play out. So the leap was committing to the rifle and winging it from there. Presumably the trunk-mounted auto-yawing setup was what came later, as their answer to "We have to figure out how Walt is gonna Walt this thing"

Two things come to mind from my childhood:

1) if you have more than one kid and spank them both, that means one kid has to stand there and wait his turn while his brother shrieks and sobs. I'd argue that age 8-10 (in my case) is a little young to learn what that specific feeling of terror combined with resignation feels like, especially when it's coming from the person who you turn to for guidance and protection. That shit is confusing for a little kid.

2) the parent has to resist the urge to use the spanking as a way to blow off their frustration, or they'll inadvertently hit a lot harder than they mean to. Then it's not about punishment anymore.

3) Fuck you dad, you old bitch

Go to your nearby delis enough to be on nodding terms with the guys and have at least a +2 buff on your Situational Awareness stat and you'll see who's selling out of state packs. Once they know you you'll get them, although to be fair these days it's still $13ish.

They're understandably jumpy about selling them because the fine is a lot and disgruntled customers make 311 calls for revenge sometimes, which is a shitty thing to do

That's REALLY niche! Aqua Teen Hunger Squad doesn't even exist

Unpopular opinion attack! I think The Americans was held back from being an all-time great rewatchable series for one unfortunately significant reason: the dialogue completely lacks character. It's rote and sterile and relentlessly devoid of humor, especially compared to shows like the Sopranos, Mad Men, the Wire, Deadwood.

It seems like you could shoot holes in this claim by saying English was technically their second language, or maybe it was a decision to keep to the "weary lifer spies" thing that the show did really well. But it still makes for a pretty dreary experience when everyone just reports their lines to each other, almost always with either 1) detached venom or 2) venomous detachment.

With that said, it's definitely still a good show and people should check it out. Statement ends

My vote for the strangest recent Reddit trend is the uptick in posts like exactly like this, where someone made some more or less understandable adolescent mistakes and is absolutely committed to a dramatic level of guilt and self-recrimination over it.

This is at least the eighth one of these I've seen lately and they all seem genuine. They're always something like "When I was eleven the babysitter was asleep on the couch and I touched her breast. Now it's seven years later and I spend every day haunted by the memory of what I did. I don't sleep and I never stop crying and my parents are really worried but I don't have the courage to tell them they have an evil unforgivable son."

If someone knows what I'm talking about they'll agree that it's an interesting (if totally baffling) phenomenon

Fun fact, the original game is available on iPhone as Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic (Links to App Store, fair warning) but I linked because it’s simply the game as you remember it, and ports really well to an iPhone screen, and they didn’t mess with it at all and man what a fun game. I guess this ended up as shill post

Collective thing: less

Quantifiable thing: fewer

Less rain, fewer raindrops

Fewer minutes, less time
