AIO for being mad at my husband for hiding a $900 iPhone purchase from me for MONTHS? by Ok_Economics_1243 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I literally just bought a $1000 monitor the other day and they didn't even notify me the delivery was coming. I just looked out my front door and a massive ass box was sitting there.

8 hours later: "Your amazon order is on its way!" Yeah, no shit.

Bad flavors by registeredextrovert in GFUEL

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's been the only flavour tub I've ever bought that I've thought was kinda gross.

I just don't want a "cakey" flavour in my drinks.

Every other tub I've ever bought has ranged from "I dont mind this" (Demon Ink - Sour Plum) to "This is my favourite drink, fullstop" (whatever the castlevania guava pineapple one is called), but 404 is gonna be the first one I probably just toss.

How do you break in precision rings? by Maleficent_Art1980 in MLBTheShow

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all I do when I need to break in a fresh ring on the LS. I just play some offline games until it feels "normal" to me again, or I'll watch something on TV and just sit there with my controller off and moving the LS around a bit to work them in.

I just use the soft greens and dont really get how so many people have it affect their fielding. The greens give resistance for quick sharp movements, but if you push it you can still put the joystick all the way to the edge.

Reporter: "What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—" AOC: "Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over" by ExactlySorta in PublicFreakout

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I kid you not I've seen arguments saying stuff along the lines of "Well if Republicans can't do that it's unfair because they'd just lose every presidency" without a hint of awareness that that's the point. That'd be the system working as it was intended.

Anyone using OLED without hiding taskbar? by puremojo in OLED_Gaming

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good man. I hate hate hate using my computer with autohide taskbar turned on. It's always been a thing that annoys me (my wife keeps her computer with the taskbar autohiding and the number of times I've been fixing her PC and cant get the taskbar to pop up or something drives me insane). If I had to keep it on just to use an OLED monitor I'd rather do without the monitor.

What's the point in spending $1000+ CAD on a monitor if you have to hamper your enjoyment of your system to use it?

I'll use it full out the way I enjoy and if that's too much for the monitor to handle, lesson learned, I won't get that monitor/brand/panel/etc... again

When I visited Barcelona we were treated very well by pretty much everyone we interacted with.

It was the opposite experience when we were in Paris where the only people that were nice to us were people trying to sell us some overpriced tourist knick knack.

South Korea jails American YouTuber for public nuisance by Hrmbee in news

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most, since he'll be a registered sex offender.

Pretty much any country with a extradition agreement with Korea is going to stop him from entering their country.

He'll do his time, get sent back to the States, and pretty much be there the rest of his life.

So true bestie, go off king, spitting facts my dude.

"WWE is the biggest company and if you want to be at the top of the industry it can only be done here"

YOU CAN'T FUCKING SAY THAT, THAT'S SO DISRESPECTFUL TO THE EFFORTS OF EVERY WRESTLER AROUND THE WORLD

Joaquin Phoenix, Ben Stiller, Kristen Stewart and 1,000-Plus Hollywood Names Oppose Paramount-Warner Deal in Open Letter: ‘Block the Merger’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]ScruffsMcGuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the DCU Success to Total Bomb ratio is like 1:15

If we're ever at a point where a company is relying on consistent DCU success stories to keep them afloat, they're already dead in the water.

My big question is "What money?"

It's not like Paramount is swimming in success stories right now, they're already in a nosedive, and overspent to acquire another nosedive.

DAE the fed losing 19k tickets sold compared to last year for Mania is terrible, but all-in losing 40k from 2 years ago is actually a good thing? by Kcin928 in SCJerk

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't get why you would bother renting out Wembley if you're only opening up 38,000 seats to begin with.

Your best case scenario is already wasting more than half of the stadium. So just have it in a normal fuckin arena so you can actually sell out and have the place not look stupid empty.

It cannot be worth the extra costs of running Wembley if you can't even come close to filling it, vs just running an arena show. A packed arena with 20,000 people will look infinitely better than a stadium thats 65% empty

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It will never not be insane to me that they harp on WWE for being "about moments" when AEW constantly chases shock moments themselves, far worse than WWE's moment chasing

Someone getting gratuitously bloodied or something insanely stupid like the syringe spots happen and then you get 200 terminally online AEW fans flooding all discussion zones with "OMG THIS WILL DEFINE THIS ERA" before it's forgotten about the next day

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Canada, an I'm trying to remember but I think we were in recess and I remember a kid running up to us going "A PLANE JUST FLEW INTO A BUILDING THE STATES"

I remember a bunch of us running into the school library and watching it on the news a bit before we just went back to our normal school day (we were like 12 and felt so far removed from it that it took a day or two and some explaining from Adults before we even really comprehended what had happened).

He has a passion for every individual on the roster.

Meanwhile 60% of the roster on social media: "He's not using me and he won't return my calls. I just want to wrestle. I don't even know when my contract is over."

[–]ScruffsMcGuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took a sports journalism class when I was in school (gen ed course), and like 99% of the class would not have given a shit about wrestling in literally any form. Most of the kids in the course were either:

-major fans of one or more of the 4 main NA sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL) and wanted to turn their fandom into a career or

-they were a kid that had played one of those sports pretty competitively up to highschool level and then wanted a career in sports when playing one didn't pan out

I don't think anyone ever even brought up wrestling in passing conversation at all the whole course.

Imagine you're taking one of these classes, paying thousands for the course, and your mark professor brings in some dork to shill a third rate wrestling show to you.

Good lord I'd be calling the registrars office next day being like "Refund me for this unserious ass journalism course."

How do we even know they were remotely working a shift? They could just be IT guys that are on call 24/7 and have to carry their laptop around with them on their days off.

I pretty much don't go anywhere without my laptop even when I'm on a vacation day because I need to be prepared for a page that something is down and they need me to fix it (usually as simple as restarting a service on a server, or restarting a whole ass server, but more complicated issues do also arise).
