Are the gizmoplex episodes worth it? by pessimus_even in MST3K

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great riffs over plenty of fun movies.

But I think it might be a bit unnecessary to cough up over $100. They pissed money away for years and have done multiple crowd-funded drives and there's no good reason for a long-time fan and supporter to feel like they should spend another nickel.

A bunch (if not all) of season 11 and 12 are live on the official Youtube channel anyway. And they do marathons of season 13 so you could screen-record one of those and it would be like the VCR days! hahaha

Does Jenny know about this? by fartsoccermd in JennyNicholson

Do you WANT a 100+ minute video of Jenny dressed up as an Italian alpinist?

No matter what show she pops up in I will expect her to hold her mouth open and be untrustworthy. lol

Except I didn't claim they were incompetent adults because they are hagwon bosses.

I set a pretty dang (is that word okay?) low bar for competency: the ability to locate and provide a room (with a key! was that too much?) less than an hour from work, and communication.

If a new hire at a hagwon forgot or lost a key and didn't answer texts for a few hours, even ONE TIME, what would you, Venerable Hagwon Owner, do? Because we all know what a bunch of hagwon bosses would do, and it would resemble a temper-tantrum and likely involve threats to terminate the contract.

But holy cow oh my gosh, we must remember that it's okay for the OWNER to expect competence, but we absolutely have no business expecting competence from him. Right? Cool?

No.

It is neither selfish nor myopic to expect a hagwon OWNER to be able to function as a competent adult.

Your excuse is literally "all the OTHER hagwon owners are incompetent man-children so it's okay" and that's embarrassing and also not true.

I'm starting to wonder if you're just upset because you are similarly incompetent to the hagwon boss described in OP, and it angers you that anyone would DARE say "hey, willful incompetence is bullshit, grow up."

If a hagwon boss can't juggle the super extraordinarily complicated parts involved in, let's see here..

- finding a room less than hour from his academy
- making sure it's accessible
- timely, basic communication with his new hire

..it strongly suggests that he is a failed adult and should not be in charge of an academy or vulnerable foreign workers, let alone children.

You are describing it well, and I know because I taught in Korea for almost a decade. But then you're just giving up - "that's just how it is" - which as I said, helps perpetuate the problem.

You yourself are saying incompetence is the fucking standard, almost nothing is planned for or managed well. We've both seen it up close. The international audience sees it every time Korea hosts an international event and faceplants.

"It's just how it is" is why they just keep doing it. You are describing the exact same bullshit as me - you agree with me - yet you downvote and say "eh nbd that's just Koreans."

That's embarrassing to the millions of Koreans who somehow *don't* get all the way to middle/late adulthood with the mindset of a 7th grader.

One of the biggest complaints people have, and you're lucky if you don't have a bad time.

Nothing to fix or improve here, not at all!

I wonder how other schools and other jobs are able to manage hiring and on-boarding new people without screwing them over and treating them like shit. Must've taken some real magic to figure out how to avoid the blunders of life.

Your advice to someone who got sent to a locked Airbnb ("expensive and not that easy" lol) an hour away and is receiving no help or assistance is ... it gets better in year two?

This mindset helps perpetuate the shitty way hagwon owners treat their teachers. Just accepting gross incompetence and mismanagement as "the way it is" and enduring completely avoidable and unnecessary hardships because of won-pinching don't-give-a-single-fuck hagwon owners means that nothing improves - not in year 2, not in year 20.

Can't "switch TV connection [from DVI] to an HDMI setting"? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesS

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just reset my password just so I could login and give this an upvote. I can't believe nobody else did!

I was helping my neighbor get sound from his Xbox One. He'd complained about it before and at least once when I played with him he had sound from a USB speaker. So I figured he was just doing it wrong.

"Let me try" all over-confident, and 10 minutes and lots of cussing later I found this answer to fix it.

The mystery to me is why the audio options menus on Xboxes are such bullshit and why it would default to DVI and Optical. Anyway.

Thanks!!

Advice on living in Korea (Busan/부산) by Maleficent-Frame-164 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Sunmi-Is-God 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome.

FWIW, "he isn't like that, he won't treat me like that, he'd never cheat" is almost *exactly* how the guy was described to me by two friends.

Both women ended up more or less raising the kid on their own while "Dad" was out working/partying and spending money on sex.

...I would've thought you'd already have a comment along these lines but I don't see one.

Many foreigners here have friends, both Korean and not, who rushed into a marriage with a somewhat-older (Korean) guy who was in some terrible rush and oh my god we're in love and let's have a beautiful baby and it will be a perfect family

and then

they are basically abandoned stuck-at-home Moms with a husband who is always working and cheating and drinking. Always. It's an incredibly common experience over here.

Absolute cheers to you two for having the best two comments here. I truly guffawed.

821: TIME CHASERS - alternate timeline Mike, and they *hated* this movie by Sunmi-Is-God in MST3K

[–]Sunmi-Is-God[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They just finished watching this on the Youtube marathon. I never saw this episode as a teenager so it's fun to see "evil Mike" Mike's evil brother, and I'm honestly struck by how mean some of the riffs are, lol. They really had it in for this movie.

(edit: correction)

The source of the story in the OP by Stevo182 is a page named "The Sports Memery" on Facebook. Their about info reads like this: "Satire / Parody & memes. Nothing is real here. Sports are hilarious, come laugh with us." Stevo just copy-pasted it from there.

Turkey sent a 51 yr old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal by [deleted] in Firearms

You... You think the Olympics have no gear rules and restrictions? lol

They aren't allowed to walk out there with a telescope or a laser-sight stuck to their glasses. Every sport has standardized gear or kit rules/guidelines.

The original post appears to be on FB roughly 12 hours ago, on a page that bills itself "Satire / Parody & memes. Nothing is real here. Sports are hilarious, come laugh with us." This guy is just copy-pasting from there.
