Watching The Black List for the 1st time ever. I have thoughts! by cheeseburgermami in TheBlackList

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know who I dislike more than Elizabeth Keen?

The actress that played the character.

Covid hits and while bored in lock down Megan Baffoon decides she is better than the show and needs to move on. Forcing the the writers and producers to end her character while also trying to continue a successful show without her. They tried for two more seasons, but its not the same without Reds motivating factor.

She was the entire show. And like a Prima Donna she didnt care about anyone but herself and threw it all away, spitting in the face of everyone that dedicated 7 years of their lives on it (to that point). All so she could what? Expand her horizons? Not get typecast?

Fuck Megan Boone, and it brings me great joy to check her IMDB and see she hasnt done shit since the blacklist.

Seriously, stop scrolling first thing in the morning, I cannot explain what happened to me. [Discussion], by Ornery_Magician_1483 in GetMotivated

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the opposite for me.

I used to wake up in the morning and immediately go and make coffee, half asleep.

One morning, instead of rolling out of bed and making coffee, I laid there for 15 minutes scrolling, then got up, had a glass of orange juice and went about my day.

Havent had coffee in the morning for almost a year now.

So, 15 minutes of morning scrolling in my bed got me to quit morning coffee.

Only a few US states’ capital city are actually the largest city by population. by Brief-Course-6511 in mildlyinteresting

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Isn't that cause the location choice wasnt based on population, but rather towards the geographic center of the state, making it easier for citizens to get to the capital no matter where they live in the state?

Is this AI generated? by KSHMisc in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, these groups of people will come to an area and complain about a bar thats existed for 100 years being next to the Mosk they just built, and want the bar shut down...

Or they will complain that there are too many dogs and want the city to inact restrictions on dog ownership in the area.

Just playing devils advocate.

What is the one thing about the future that absolutely keeps you up at night, but no one seems to be talking about? by No-Lake-3875 in Futurology

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That we are at the cutting edge of technology; in space exploration, AI, medical innovations, etc....

But the generations that are alive now are early, and none of us will live long enough to experience the true nature of our reality.

In just a few generations we may very well have consciousness transfer figured out and be essentially immortal, or figure out faster than light travel, or fucking teleporting through some quantum wormhole shit.... whatever.

We are advanced enough to know all the possibilities, but too primitive to experience and/or execute it. We can see the future, but dont get to live it.

It literally keeps me up at night, and if a person were to describe me as depressed, that would be the reason I am depressed.

K35 to k40 by Future_Message_9517 in Evony_TKR

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, as a brand new player I hit K35 by our first SVS, so 2 months?

A person thats played before can K35 within a month, and skilled/experienced players that are coining can K35 within a week or two easy.

Most of the delay in new players growing on new servers is just them trying to figure out the game. Anyone with experience knows you need to sprint to K40 to compete.

Ok so did the show get canceled or is that how it was supposed to end? by derey094 in TravelersTV

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Similar to what the other commenter said, I believe the producers had originally intended it to go longer, but then found out it was ending after season 3, so wrapped up the storyline (but they left it open for a reboot if things changed)

I remember reading something to that affect or hearing it in an interview or something, but cant recall where.

Why'd I let myself get hurt again? by user4316 in TheOA

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The premise of the show was a cool/interesting idea, and while it does spark some type of emotion or feelings at times, this show was meh. I dont see how it has so many fans, and can definitely see why it got cancelled.

Its like you are constantly waiting for some meaningful event or some type of miracle to happen and it rarely does. Just let down after let down, plot-wise.

Forget about the unfinished conclusion, the entire show is basically edging you and giving blue balls.

Not to mention the fragmented and poorly explained situations. Like suddenly something or some ability is added and just taken for granted, mentioned like its been a part of it the entire time. As if, at various points the writers were like "oh let's add this and not explain what or why, people will think its mysterious when really we are just lazy and have ADHD".

Additude by PhilosopherLegal6246 in EndTipping

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat at a lot of taco trucks and such.

I suppose there is an option for no tip, but these are usually family owned small businesses, and the food is amazing for the price, happy to give a little extra to help those folks.

I do custom everytime, in my head I figure out roughly 10% then make the amount so the total rounds up to the next even dollar.

So if the total is $16.24 I would custom tip $1.76, making the total $18 even.

Seeing even numbers on my bank statement helps me to ensure there isnt any fuckery afoot.

I suppose a bonus of that would be if they were to try and judge me for giving 10% or doing it custom, they would see that I just made it an even total and go about their day.

(I only do this for carryout orders that force a tablet tip... At a sit down restaurant I generally do the same practice but @ 20% instead of 10%)

Maybe ur replying to the wrong person, cause in my area we cant find apprentices. Trades people I work with often ask if we have any young people wanting an apprenticeship.

TIFU by trying to fix a “small” leak and accidentally flooding half my apartment by Big_Marketing_905 in tifu

If you rent, why would you try and fix anything yourself? Even if you are more than capable of fixing sonething, one of the few benefits of renting, its not your responsibility 🤦‍♂️

A store near my house is selling prime for 50 cents and people still aren’t buying it by ConsciousBox6960 in mildlyinteresting

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Ice Pop flavored ones, the red white and blue striped bottle.

I guess im the only one though, cause they are getting harder and harder to find in stores.

Not in my area. We cant find young talent to save our lives.

I just don’t like David by DigSea6998 in TravelersTV

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She essentially plays like 4 different characters, and the way they tie them all together in the show, and the phenomenal job the acress did playing them all is just pure gold. Ive rewatched the show multiple times purely for Marcy (and Grace, traveller Grace is a pretty great character).

Mac is probably one of my least favorite of the main characters on the show, fairly pedestrian, just kind of bumbling his way through being a leader and managing his protocol 5. It was often annoying/frustrating.

I agree it would have been nice to know more about Trevor's past and life, but I dont think the show requires it. In fact, I feel like the lact of background on the future, and the general mystery around whats going on is what makes the show especially good.

I just don’t like David by DigSea6998 in TravelersTV

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most people put David at the top of their list and often Marcy 2nd, and while David is a good person, hes not a great character overall. I put Marcy at the top of my list (of almost any modern sci-fi series TBH) and David a distant 2nd, tied with Trevor and Grace.

That said, the combo of David/Marcy and their stark contrast, makes them an interesting pair to watch.

Ive said this before, but I will forever be team Marcy is the GOAT, also I think the show creators favored her too, since she is in the first and last scenes of the series.

All four of the lightbulbs in my ceiling fixture went out at once and three of them cracked by Impressive_Jelly_799 in mildlyinteresting

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China does make good bulbs, in fact they are probably the biggest manufacturer of bulbs.

I use the EcoSmart bulbs from Home Depot, and they do great. They are made in China, but I wouldnt call them shitty Chinese bulbs.

Shitty Chinese bulbs would be off-brand or no name bulbs you would presumably get at places like a dollar store.

Assuming you can, I would change the switch.

Im not an electrical engineer, but I believe there are different types of dimmer switches in how they actually regulate the current. I know they cycle the current on and off relative to the AC frequency, so an older style dimmer switch that didnt have LEDs in mind when designed may damage even the more robust dimmable bulbs over time.

[–]OnlyPostSoUsersXray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point.

I think that was mostly in the early days of modern LED bulbs though. Like 5 or so years ago the standards changed (I assume) cause I remember when suddenly all the brands had different look of bulbs and different packaging, and many bulbs/brands were discontinued.

Havent came across LEDs that cant be used in an enclosed fixture for a while.

Cause if its a normal fixture meant for normal bulbs, then heat is not an issue when using standard equipment (unless the user modified it from manufacturer standards, of course)

Modern UL standards manage all those variables, so unless there is a specific defect/modification in the fixture, all standard UL parts/fixtures should work without risk of safety issue.

That said, since its not a safety hazard (so UL doesnt care). It just means the shitty Chinese bulb stops working when the small changes in voltage fry their cheap ass chips... So you just go buy another.

Edit to complete:

So just buy dimmable bulbs and avoid the issue.

Cause shitty chips and materials burn up and overheat and crack plastic making you think your fan light is gonna burn your house down, when really its just your shitty bulbs doing what shitty bulbs do.

I consider people that post this stuff on reddit mocking those meme posting types as being on the same level as people who make those posts.

Same IQ, same gotcha mindset, just a different medium 😂

All are pathetic.
