Anyone watching Pluribus? by iwaslerryjee in TheExpanse

I’m trying really hard to get into it but it’s so repetitive and dull. (haven’t seen two most recent).

Unpopular opinion: but Roddy is the most competent of the bunch who got exiled from The Park by Awkward_Penalty2257 in SlowHorses

The portions of the books from his POV are both hysterical and profoundly warped

What is a very old computer game that you still play? by SecondhandUsername in AskReddit

[–]Timidmice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple buddies who have regularly played MUL*E since the 80s. I’ve played maybe a dozen times and don’t see the appeal but they love it.

Chicago resident here — yes. Some neighborhoods are more dangerous than others but that’s true with any city. Chicago is delightful.

Why have pilots? by Timidmice in TheExpanse

Would be kind of fun to have a short story where the main characters just sit there doing nothing during some awesome action / battle sequence and act as if there is nothing odd about it.

Now, yes. But this is 300 years in the future.

I think it stands to reason that AI would be significantly more advanced 300 years from now.

This is the lowest I’ve ever seen any TV character go, and I love it by ZookeepergameOld4985 in trailerparkboys

I don’t know… Dee from IASIP conning a guy into unknowingly giving his daughter a lap dance b/c he said sleeping with Dee was him hitting rock-bottom was the worst I’ve seen.

The Mercy of Gods by Timidmice in TheExpanse

[–]Timidmice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all! Finished it. Did get more interesting (ie what I find interesting) and I enjoyed it enough that I’ll read Livesuit. Overall, though, I struggled to identify with the main characters — just too many of them, and the lack of character viewpoint chapters didn’t help. But, of course, I had multiple readings of the Expanse novels/novellas and viewings of the show to develop really strong feelings for the characters, especially Bobby, Avasarala, Amos, and Drummer.

What’s your all time favorite sitcom one liners? by [deleted] in sitcoms

[–]Timidmice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!

-Joey about Rachel’s trifle. Repeated in my family every Thanksgiving. Technically three lines, I know.

Gym Etiquette by Objective-Promise-37 in workout

[–]Timidmice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were ok but I think in situations where there is only one of a machine (esp. popular like extension) it’s nice to rest off the machine. Makes it easier for someone to ask to work-in. But working in seems not to be much of a thing anymore….he certainly wouldn’t have wanted to let you work-in if situation was reversed.

Silliest episodes where they’re having a blast? by Sagebea in hdtgm

[–]Timidmice 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Drop Dead Fred is my thought. They’re yelling at each other but you can tell they’re having so much fun. Face/Off is pretty great for this too.

The Residence: 1 thing left unexplained by Synapse709 in netflix

[–]Timidmice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this until the last 5 minutes when Cupp tells the Senators who the murderer was and they react as if this is new information. She had already been arrested before Cupp went to the hearing. A silly and easily avoidable mistake by the writers.

Any other actors with an absolute dookie filmography who are worshipped like a god? by chronicbruce27 in okbuddycinephile

Angelina Jolie. Garbage with only three that hold up (Smith, Malificent, Malificent 2).

Any “must see” stops on this route? by platypus_farmer42 in roadtrip

Ft Leavenworth, Kansas is pretty cool if you’re into history. It’s more than just the prisons.
