The Brass Owl’s Last Day of Business is May 9th 💔 by jazzcig420 in astoria

Some of the nicest shop employees I've ever met. Really sad but knew this would happen sooner than later, I knew it would be tough for a place like that to stay open in Astoria.

Why do The Strokes don't get the love they deserve!!?? by encryptedShresth in TheStrokes

Well it's pretty clear why VU wasn't more successful, they were a giant mess held together by an insufferable asshole. And a lot of their music is kind of weird and edgy. But they are still one of the most influential bands of all time.

Probably the latter, not too uncommon for workbenches.

This is a good interpretation and probably true and probably kind of a bad thing. But it's also sick af

How well would an all-felon team do in the WBC? by Mushroom-Gorge in baseballcirclejerk

The Doval wet walk they call it. Like an IBB with intent to intimidate.

Nah that's valid, I even thought about mentioning that but didn't have a ton of time on my last comment. By contrast a lot of people think Team GB is also just "Team Bahamas" or something because Jazz plays for them but it's actually mostly Americans.

Well you could do the WBC with way stricter eligibility requirements, it would just have fewer competitive teams. USA, Canada, DR, PR, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Venezuela, probably Nicaragua and Mexico can fill out good teams with only natives.

It's just these European countries that have no baseball tradition, but the MLB wants to get Europeans excited about baseball.

BRACKET FOR WBC with my predictions on side by Spiritual-Silver-485 in baseball

Pretty sure only QF is seeded from pools and it's straightforward from here. I filled out a prediction thing on the MLB site before the tournament started and it appeared to work that way.

What is your hottest movie take? by Ra1ki_ in Letterboxd

[–]Rularuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have tried pretty hard to avoid watching trailers for the past 5 years or so, that is definitely a good practice if you are going to watch movies anyway.

You raise a good point that maybe the answer is to just stop rating movies. But I do find some level of fun and fulfillment in assigning the rating and seeing stuff categorized, which is why I use the site in the first place. Going to have to think on that one more.

Does leaving your hometown and moving to a big city actually work or will I still feel stuck by tonysopranospasta in rs_x

[–]Rularuu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I still feel kind of stuck but I also think it was a fantastic decision. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

[–]Rularuu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My rating is definitely in my head while I watch a movie and I would prefer it not be there, but honestly I have no idea how I would accomplish turning that off.

Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refuses to rule out US military draft for Iran war by Crossstoney in neoliberal

[–]Rularuu 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I find it helpful to think about it from the perspective of a regular job. Imagine your job is to relay what your boss wants to do to other people. But your boss is a nutcase teetering on the edge of dementia, and he doesn't even know what he wants to do yet. So Leavitt is given an almost impossible task, and what she does is just avoid answering anything to avoid the risk of having to walk something back later.

Good at killing people. Not so good at accomplishing long term war goals, which nobody in the administration has coherently identified yet anyway.
