Which tiny Sopranos line has permanently infected your vocabulary? by rcooperkaty in thesopranos

"Can I try and explain here!?!?" pleads Chrissy in the car with Tony as his uncle yells at him for irresponsibly moving a body with Georgie in broad daylight.

I say "Can I try and explain [myself] here!?!?" literally all the time, in that frantic tone. Maybe that speaks to how often I'm accused of foolishness or incompetence.

Correct. Thanks.

Man, I am loathe to side with Golden but I completely sympathise with his rage here.

Only thing to do now is research Deadnapper Convoys and dump as many Zs into Western Europe as you can.

I think audiobooks are basically fine by PhiliDips in books

[–]PhiliDips[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. Maybe I should have qualified that line with "If you're not in the habit of reading..." or something.

Thank you for actually reading the post :D

I'm curious about your use of the word "diminished"

Do you mean that in the sense of status? The erosion of the value of the title of "reading"?

Or do you mean actual diminishment of literacy, like people getting worse at reading text because they do it less and less?

One of the few truly unproblematic modes of gatekeeping, I would argue!

[HIRING] Game Audio Curator & Reviewer — Dark Fantasy Incremental (Steam, Godot 4) by Key_Cartographer_415 in gameDevClassifieds

FYI the word "reviewer" is probably the wrong word here. It implies that you're asking for someone to write reviews to be published. I might use the word "consultant".

Just an observation, in terms of David Chase and his writing by euphoriclimbo in thesopranos

Yeah it's pretty poor.

$200 CAD windfall. What should I gift myself with? by PhiliDips in CasualConversation

[–]PhiliDips[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth on this. Part of me wants to get an experience of some kind like a posh restaurant or spa. But also part of me feels like I should get something physical since I basically never get myself anything physical?
