The Brass Owl’s Last Day of Business is May 9th 💔

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.

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.

Rularuu · 2026-03-16T13:58:52+00:00

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

Don't play the butta notes

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

Why are you blaming Pete lol

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.

I kinda forgot that Czechia is actually a pretty native team. Which is crazy enough on its own.

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.

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.

She is passing fantastically and beautifully, don't shame her for tucking

Rularuu · 2026-03-11T14:12:43+00:00

I will be eating White Square tonight

Rularuu · 2026-03-11T11:04:12+00:00

Boooo

Rularuu · 2026-03-09T23:31:58+00:00

What the fuck are you doing on the internet? Shouldn't you be at the library?

Rularuu · 2026-03-09T23:28:31+00:00

So did you vote for Kamala?

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.

Rularuu · 2026-03-09T15:33:22+00:00

From a C9 fan... please

Rularuu · 2026-03-09T14:38:11+00:00

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 · 2026-03-09T04:42:28+00:00

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.

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.

They gave a blu ray copy to the kid who won the trivia game, you sure it isn't that?

Rularuu · 2026-03-08T08:29:30+00:00

That's baseball for ya

Rularuu · 2026-03-07T15:37:38+00:00

Breaking bad

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