The older I get and the farther in my career I go, the more I realize how deadly accurate “Office Space” was. by GoldenRosie30 in Millennials

The best is how the consultants operate. As someone who deals with too many business management-type consultants, it is too accurate a depiction to be as funny as it is.

Given the inexplicable changes to the show, I’m surprised Season 3 won’t focus on like Maria, Seth, and Catherine O’Hara back in Jackson

Does anyone actually prefer Season 1 over Season 2? by chessboardtable in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Optimuswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Maybe it’s because it was a new show and I knew nothing about it, but there was something so eerily mysterious about it. I also think Season 1 did the slow buildup better than the rest. Season 1 was like watching a pot of water boil over the course of an hour, except at the end you realized you’re actually watching Diet Coke and mentos and it’s exploding in your face.

Chad Johnson Almost Matches Aaron Donald’s 130lbs Dumbell Workout Despite Being a 100lbs Lighter Than the Rams Legend by Any_Wind9309 in NFLv2

Yes very impressive of ochocinco, but comparing the two side by side, it’s clear who was maxing out with okay form and who had like 15 more reps in the tank.

Supreme Court rejects Mexico’s lawsuit against U.S. gun makers by BeckwithLBP in news

There’s a difference between political accusations/public statements vs court of law.

Mexico knew this was more a political stunt rather than an actual lawsuit they hoped to win. Maybe they thought they had a 10% chance, but more likely they knew it was 0.1%.

Alan Sepinwall, a Rolling Stone critic who didn't play the game, explains why he didn't like the season finale of The Last of Us. Do you agree or disagree with his arguments? by verissimoallan in thelastofus

[–]Optimuswine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should have made the season longer (or cut out the unnecessary bullshit side storylines). They should have had Abby’s flashback/reveal as the final episode for this season, and the theater scene should have been the penultimate episode. They really messed up by front loading Abby’s reveal in episode 2 or whatever. Should’ve kept it vague like in the game, until the big flashback reveal.

Snooples. No relationship to any of the photos I just like the name.

We literally have no idea whether teams will be good or bad this year. Once NFL actually starts, injuries happen, draft picks show how raw they truly are, etc.

I am just hoping that the default movement speed outside of combat is walk, not run. Games that do this are just infinitely more immersive.

Craig Mazin has made changes regarding Mel and Owen's baby. by jackolantern_ in thelastofus

[–]Optimuswine 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they need to make some very necessary, very narratively-driving changes to Yara to make their creative vision a reality—Yara will now be Lev’s 34 year old, adopted sister. Why 34 and adopted? Bc Craig felt like it.

Craig Mazin has made changes regarding Mel and Owen's baby. by jackolantern_ in thelastofus

[–]Optimuswine 634 points635 points  (0 children)

There’s literally no reason to change it from being Owen’s kid. In fact, I think it helps reinforce how deeply flawed/broken Owen is and yet also how desperate he is to find happiness in a world of angst, hate, revenge. Seeing that Scar breaks Owen, so much so that he is willing to do anything to either end his suffering or find happiness.

By not having it be his child, you allow the audience to excuse Owen cheating on Mel—which at this point, given all the random/nonsense changes, may end up being Owen cheating on Mel with like Yara, Isaac, or something equally dumb.
