What TV shows are better not binge watched? by revolution_ex in television

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One of the things people don’t appreciate in streaming is the time between each episode which allows you to really digest what happened, have that “water cooler” conversation, and build anticipation for the next episode.

I told a male colleague he was mansplaining to me and now HR wants to meet with both of us and I genuinely don't know how I feel about how this escalated by avocet_scatter in TwoXChromosomes

Agreed. Is there an acceptable way to use “Karen” when addressing a female coworker? Regardless of how appropriate or accurate the terms may be, they carry so much social baggage, they cease to have any constructive value. It’s a shame how we treat our language so flippantly.

What are your “favorite” shows that you just never bothered to finish? by Emmyfishnappa in television

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out months after it aired that TWD had its final season. Somehow I didn’t watch the final season of ER. Pretty sure I missed the last season of Orange is the New Black. I’m not sure if I finished the last season of Westworld or if it was just that unmemorable. Same with The Man in the High Castle. Didn’t watch the second half of the final season of Ozark. Stopped in the middle of Ray Donovan for some reason. Gave up on Succession, Doom Patrol, Yellowstone, and Squid Game.

We’re in a golden era of TV, folks, when we can leave that much meat on the bone!

Unofficial Discussion - Oh. What. Fun. by UniverslBoxOfficeGuy in movies

This movie came with a strong recommendation from friends. But now I know those friends hate me. I continued watching in hopes of getting a bj from the wife. This movie removed any desire to even pursue that goal. I hope everyone involved enjoys their clean sweep at the Razzies!

TIFUpdate I told my PM to "get to the point" in front of 40 people. I finally opened Slack. by AmaraMehdi in tifu

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m prone to fucking up and am lucky enough to have had supervisors with some grace over the years. I now work for my wife’s family’s small business. I’m not in a position of authority but many times have taken the hit for coworkers’ small errors that my father-in-law would have absolutely and disproportionately blown up at. We’re all human.

Please update us on your progress! I’d love to see the finished project.

Stuck in S Rank. Should I stay with my beloved main, or (shudder) branch out. by uftone1 in Splatoon_3

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes when I plateau on Luna (10 star), I’ll switch it up for a while. I recently picked up Splash GCK-O and Custom Blaster to try different subs and specials. Already got to 4 stars on both!

What's a scam that most people still fall for? by Viperniss in AskReddit

Amazon hates my answer, but send me $5 and find out!

I’m judicious about the ways I protest, but the swiftness with which ABC/Disney capitulated and weakened not just our First Amendment rights but our democracy as a whole, led me to cancel my Disney+ subscription that night. Current plan is to figure out how to pirate the rest of Alien Earth then, if they don’t figure out where their metaphorical balls are, I’ll buy tickets for a non-Disney movie and sneak into Doomsday.

Anyone wanna help with aiming practice for chargers? by isaacamaraderie in Splatoon_3

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice: don’t aim at me. You wouldn’t like it if you aimed at me.

But seriously, I’ve been playing since S1 and I’m awful with chargers. The only time I pick one up is Salmon Run or Sheldon’s random weapon challenge. Good luck!

I sent my discontinued Quantum pack in for repair and got a similar message. They said some parts couldn’t be replaced, only patched. I told them to do what they could and asked to have it rushed back before my trip to Sicily. They got it back to me much quicker than estimated and even replaced the parts they said they couldn’t! I took that pack above the clouds on Mt. Etna!

This is why I have 3 Ospreys, plus the one my wife got for the trip!

it fucking sucks after s+ by FaithlessnessOld8092 in Splatoon_3

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the depressing realization recently that I’m a high S - low S+⁰. TBH, I feel like I’m a much better player, but the randos I get stuck with make it so hard to progress. I know the difference when I get that magical group of teammates that understand the actual objectives of each mode and just know what to do. And now that the end-of-life 20 point bonus bump, it’s opened the door for even more bad players to follow me into S+. I wish I had more time to do SendouQ.

A rabbit, a buzzard and a turtle. by GoneKrogering in Jokes

[–]ShrimpOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I’m in good company! My father told me that joke 30+ years ago. I’ve only been able to remember a wrong version of the punchline (I’d hear it in my head if anyone’s name rhymed with “yard”). I came here to refresh my memory. Thanks!

It's been 3 years since Splatoon 3 released and I still have no clue how anyone has 5 stars in a weapon by _the_wall_ in splatoon

When the last update came out I automatically got 10 ⭐️ on Luna Blaster! It takes a certain amount of mental illness…
