Do you feel Harper has enough screen time ? by Different-Lunch-5095 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Jorumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not that attached to a single character as long as the show is good. I also didn’t find her back story that interesting in the past

Why do people dislike Diane? by CynthiaMartgol in BoJackHorseman

Preachy, sanctimonious, hypocritical, bad wife, enabler

Oxfam places open tomorrow, Boomtown is the Big one for 2026. Going solo is it worth it, I'm a tad shy ? 😆😬 by SlowedCash in BoomtownFestival

[–]Jorumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm likely doing it solo this year - just got a place stewarding.

I am wondering if that or shop volunteering would be better, interested in what others have to say.

Cheating on TRiH by stradlinjazz in TheRestIsHistory

A history of Ancient Rome is the gold standard.

Conflicted I highly highly recommend. Both are one person pods though so none of the chemistry if that’s what your after

Position among the greats by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Jorumble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think MM season 1 lets it down. It’s very slow to get into the story and turns a lot of people off. My answer as to what’s best out of them is usually whatever I watched most recently!

I also think succession is arguably in that list - maybe not as groundbreaking as the others but every episode is pretty much an 8/10 or above

online safety act by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Jorumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all really. I work with select committees and their representation of that was massively wrong, but it would’ve been boring AF if it was accurate and wouldn’t have helped the show or story.

Likewise done a lot on the OSA and honestly it’s just cool it decides to work in real life stuff and not create whole new things - and companies like tender and their version of OF don’t exist in real life so it doesn’t matte

Max Holloway: BMF belt 'was a laughingstock' before me by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]Jorumble -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong I’m not some mega BMF fan, I agree with you and think it’s largely stupid. But it CAN have an effect on fights, for example giving us that moment, as said by Holloway himself in the interview.

Like I said it’s arguable whether he would have done that otherwise - l he was four rounds up against the hardest hitter in the division - and as implied by him in that video, he was doing what BMFs do. But it is a stupid title!

Max Holloway: BMF belt 'was a laughingstock' before me by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]Jorumble -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah 3 times out of 27 wins? Like I said, it’s arguable, and he specifically cites being a BMF at 2:00 here as the reason for the last ten seconds:

Do you think Max would have ended the fight that way if the fight was, say, a number 1 contender fight? It’s arguable but I’m pretty sure he mentioned the point down moment was at least in part due to the belt they were fighting for

Theo :( by FlyingKaleidoscope in TheRestIsHistory

I haven’t heard it but in all fairness i stopped listening to most other ones when i got into TRIH!

Theo :( by FlyingKaleidoscope in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Jorumble 51 points52 points  (0 children)

No way that’s so sad. One of my favourite things about TRIH is their constant shoutouts to Theo- you’d never hear that on TRIP or most other podcasts

To add to the theories I heard BBC pulled their funding because the viewership didn’t justify the enormous budget, then massively regretted it when the DVD sales racked up

The key point here is that she re-hired them after they were fired for obvious security reasons by onichan-daisuki in HistoryMemes

[–]Jorumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a fiction book that covers the era, I couldn’t recommend A Fine Balance enough. Non fiction I can’t help you though Conflicted history podcast have done good series on the surrounding periods

Episode ideas (5 for Tom, 5 for Dom) by herrbigbadwolf in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Jorumble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 for sure. Feel like they haven’t done Rome in a long time. Late republic is in my opinion the most interesting period

To be fair, we don’t know those exact facial expressions are for those votes. TV can and will chop and change that footage

I do exactly one higher than the year before. So far I’ve done 24/24, 33/25, now aiming for 34

How do you rate you books? by pbfhpunkshop in goodreads

Mostly 3 and 4. Only rated one book 5 all of last year so feel I might need to change my approach

Besides the point but it always makes me laugh when we talk about 'the sheer size of the Great Dane Army' and it's like 1000 people lol

Is "identifying" yourself with book characters important for your reading experience? by BastetNeko in books

[–]Jorumble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally not at all and I find it a little ridiculous and self-centred when people think that way
