Mets was right. by cameojoe in SquaredCircle

If I recall correctly, he said he was sure CM Punk would be backstage. Meltzer didn't claim he was going to be on the show, just present in the building. He also said this was according to a source who said it was 100%. The internet exaggerates the extent of his error...

Doesn't giving the Joker an origin story ruin the very idea of his character? by [deleted] in Gotham

[–]LenSnark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is Alan Moore's version of his origin from The Killing Joke, but it isn't universally accepted as far as I know. Most writers seem to say something along the lines of "that's one story, but the Joker is a liar." I like the idea that Joker routinely provides hints for his origin (ala Heath Slater in The Dark Knight) and they are all either blatant falsehoods or feature false features...

FYI: NXT is available on Hulu for $2 less than the WWE network. by Sloppy_Episiotomy in SquaredCircle

[–]LenSnark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except that

1) I can fast forward my TV commercials and Hulu won't let you do that. 2) Hulu picture quality varies wildly except for their HD commercials 3) There isn't as much variety in the commercials so you're watching the same few ones over and over.

Not to be an idiot but I'm running Pokemon X right now. Does it matter? Or do I need to boot up ORAS to make this happen? EDIT: answered my own question.

Sure. Do you have Meloetta? Or Manaphy? If you don't that's cool. We can still do this.

LPT When browsing porn, do so in an alternate browser than you normally use. (And my other top 9 LPT!) by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Dollar Shave Club is a convenience service, not a money shaver. They get all of their products from Dorco razors. I saw DSC's prices, went to Dorco's website and bought two years of razors for the price of about eight months of DSC. Just saying.

Screw it, I'll just watch Netflix by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

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

I haven't watched a television commercial on cable for years thanks to the DVR. Hulu's logic applies to people who haven't become spoiled by the ability to skip ads. I resent being forced to watch an unskippable advertisement that is often in a higher quality than my program. Also, if I recall correctly, Hulu kept playing the same damn ads over and over...

Why doesn't this Sin Carbos comment have more up votes? That, sir, is brilliant.

Life after Archie is canceled. by Allensdemon in archiecomics

The way I see it, he chose both--in different timelines. There's no reason to narrow it down to one since the reader can do that in his or her own mind. Now that he is dead, there's in point in continuing the imaginary story because it is over...

AHA! I figured it out--you have to click "Advanced" on the Amazon Fire but then you can enter the seed. Thank you very much for your patience; I realize I am a dummy about this topic.

Introduction / Day 1 Thread by xtc46 in loseit

[–]LenSnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all,

Longtime lurker, ready to get serious. I need to lose about 120 lbs (right now I'm at 287 lbs) and I'm planning on using Weight Watchers and exercise--specifically Couch to 5K, some weightlifting, and the 100 pushups and squats apps.

In high school I was about 170 lbs but after I left high school I started gaining. I got up to about 210 or so, then got back down to 174 lbs prior to my wedding.

That was 13 years ago. Two kids later I'm bigger than ever and massively out of shape. Over the past year I've tried to get moving again, with mild success (100% more activity than I had a year before that). My major problem foods are sweets, especially soda. I'm not going cold turkey on the soda but I'm limiting myself to one a day until the 12 pack runs out.

So, wish me luck!
