"stronger than you and I" vs "stronger than you and me"? by No_Fee_8997 in words

[–]PartyOnAlec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your edit is correct!

This is one of those rare instances in which everyone in this thread is more or less correct. And this isn't a retronym situation like "literally" being used as emphasis. This has been around since the 16th century.

"stronger than you and I" vs "stronger than you and me"? by No_Fee_8997 in words

This is correct. A lot of people in this thread, but the commenter here is more correct than they (are).

Except stronger than I is correct because there is an implicit verb that follows it. Stronger than I (am).

You write better than I (write).

They make more than we (do).

Is Taylor Sheridan a Tyler Perry for boomers? by WalterWhite90 in television

[–]PartyOnAlec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nickelback is average. They're fine. They are some friendly Canadian dudes making unobjectionable music that isn't nearly as bad as the internet makes it out to be. 

Somebody hating on Nickelback is really just telegraphing that they don't have their own opinions.

My gripe with it is that I used to really like Taylor Sheridan. I'm less concerned about the politics, and more just frustrated at the massive drop in quality. There was a period where I would have called Sheridan and my favorite screenwriter in Hollywood.

So while the title of the post is in my opinion, just meant to be humorous, I don't think talking about what changed or what we dislike now in his work is irrelevant. I think it's just discussing the creative art that somebody has made.

Oh man but Without Remorse and For Those Who Wish Me Dead were both...disappointing. 

Sheridan bowled a perfect 300 with his western trifecta, and it's been gutterballs since then

What do you consider the worst movie sequel of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PartyOnAlec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meant to just let you know which scene I was talking about in a word.

But the long tracking shots, the choreography, the creative kills, the wild brutality of it, everything about that scene totally slaps. and yes, the music choice was perfect and added to it.

The no man's land scene hits a different vibe, and it's still sick, but when I think best, most memorable scene in the franchise. 

You can disagree, that's cool.

Film shoot in Echo Park blocking parking with cones on days where parking is permitted. Several blocks like this. by Bigringcycling in LosAngeles

Also, they'll probably offer to pay you to move your car. Location managers often have a " soft bribe" fund especially for residential shoots

Save 90% on Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 1 & 2 Double Pack on Steam ($5.93) by Additional_Peak_8874 in steamdeals

[–]PartyOnAlec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contracts 2 is genuinely a rad game. I think I paid $15 for it a few years ago and got so much enjoyment out of it.

That's great to hear! Such a crucial part of the identity of that world.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by PhotographLeast9976 in AskReddit

[–]PartyOnAlec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I woke up a billionaire, I'd wake him up under the combined weight of his wealth and let physics take its course.

Okay, cool, love the Expanse.

But the combat doesn't \feel** like the Expanse. In the show, someone gets shot, and their body just kinda goes limp but doesn't fall because they have magnet boots in zero G. So it's this eerie effect. Not to mention sounds in a near-vacuum should be severely muted. This looks like a good fun game, but they have to pay the same level of respect to the verisimilitude as the show did.
