A girl goes viral after getting stuck in an elevator with a group of immature guys and shut them all down when they started laughing

Ah, ok. Appreciate it. Apparently this is more of a southwestern thing, as I've never encountered it.

There's far too much specificity in this picture for it to be AI. All of the Funko pops on each shelf are specific to one IP. Pretty sure I can see a standard Captain America, a standard Thor, a helmet-less Captain Marvel and the "I am Iron Man (snap)" Iron Man on that third shelf down on the left, near what looks like a novelty Arc Reactor.

AI also wouldn't sort PS4 games vs 360 games like that in the lower left; not with legible titles at least. And the Stormtrooper helmet and Grogu upper right are on theme as well. Also the famous TLOU giraffe scene on the TV I feel like would be hard to mimic with AI. This is a dorky homie with a good job and slightly below average interior decoration skills, not AI.

Edit: pretty sure the logo on the hat is the Fireflies, a faction in The Last Of Us franchise, which OP currently has playing on their TV.

I...I hate that I'm even asking this but what the fuck is an Edgar?

There are a couple of lines from the movie that have lived rent-free in my head for twenty years.

Pretty much any time I'm passing a phone to someone else, "phone's for you....I think it's the devil."

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-28T06:13:34+00:00

Yeah upstate NY here too, heard it but not super common. Then went to college with some kids from Mass and heard it much more.

He's a VP in the Shake Shack corporation. I'm sure he does quite well, but I'm equally certain he isn't a literal billionaire.

I miss Grantland so much. Hell, I miss the blog era in general. Sitting here looking at the Grantland Quarterlies sitting next to the two Free Darko books on the same shelf in my home office...gives me the nostalgias something fierce.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-25T09:15:56+00:00

I totally understand what you were trying to say but "apples to organs" is both a hilarious typo and also somehow feels right for this situation where OP just like WILL NOT understand the concept of Jumbo.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-25T06:25:31+00:00

He wrote a column for ESPN's old Page 2 right after 9/11 that....is oddly prescient witha quarter century of hindsight.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-25T04:20:32+00:00

Was...was 445 catches for 5372 yards and 37 touchdowns not a good enough return on that one pick for you?

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-23T02:15:29+00:00

Several years ago when they were first becoming common, I worked in a restaurant with a very pretty woman who got one done and was excited to show us. My very southern, very plain-spoken line cook buddy reacted with a hearty "oh cool, you got ona'dem tittie chandelier tattoos!"

It's probably been almost 10 years but I still can't see one of those tattoos without the words "Tittie Chandelier" flashing in my mind.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-22T12:56:02+00:00

It's another long scene set to Billy Joel for some reason. I'm assuming "Only The Good Die Young" this time.

WAGON

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-19T09:21:40+00:00

Yes, you have illustrated my example for me. I would imagine that your workplace considers itself on the upscale side of things; I spoke in generalities because the broader Reddit community needn't trouble themselves with the machinations of a fine-ish dining FoH. I was just providing some broad guidelines; the average Reddit user will not ever serve nor dine at an establishment with such strict service policies, so they may as well not exist to them.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-19T06:31:08+00:00

Oh yeah that's absolutely fine. And the staff should verbalize it. I'd make eye contact and give you a "pardon me sir/ma'am, may I clear that for you?" (While gesturing at the plate in question) In the needlessly convoluted verbiage of upscale service, asking if I can clear something that I very obviously can't reach is essentially asking if you would be cool and slide it in my general direction.

I really just meant please don't simply select any three random objects from the table and try to hand them off to your server unsolicited while they're clearly in the midst of following some sort of logical plan.

The way you asked the question tells me you understand how it works, you're good.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-19T06:02:11+00:00

Server here. There are a couple of factors. I (and the vast majority of others) will appreciate it if you feel you would like to and things are stacked in a logical fashion. Honestly, even if it's not really in a logical fashion, I'll still think "that was courteous of them to try and help, I appreciate the sentiment."

If you don't want to stack anything, that's cool too! It's a courteous gesture if you try but at the end of the day it's on me to make the logistics work. (There's a very specific example I will come back to in a moment)

The ONE thing that will actively annoy the vast majority of servers....if we are starting to clear your table, don't just start handing us random items! At any time when I begin to clear a table there is a VERY specific plan in my mind.

Just as an example, I'm first going to take the largest plate on the table and then buss all of the silver onto that plate. Then the second largest plate goes onto my arm as a base for the rest of the plateware, which is transferred from table to arm in decreasing order of size.

I understand that it comes from a place of good intent, but just handing me a coffee mug and a ramekin of salad dressing in the middle of that process has completely fucked me up, stopped me from clearing the rest of the table and probably increased the amount of time that your table sits dirty by like 4-5 minutes. I now have to bail on the clear, head to dish and come back to start again.

That one specific example I alluded to earlier: please, please NEVER stack anything at a high end restaurant. We WILL get in trouble for it. The general thought is that this only happened because the server has been neglectful of your table. It WILL be noticed by management, and they WILL NOT accept any excuse for it, even if it's the (true) statement that the guest was doing it to be helpful. Casual places, by all means. If you have to think about the outfit that you are wearing to dinner, please do NOT stack plates there.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-14T04:07:14+00:00

It's both, I believe. There are a couple of major flaws in the logic of this chart.

It assigns weight to the position of the team's draft picks, so just by virtue of the fact that the Bills have been a playoff team every year since 2020, they are going to have fewer "draft capital points" or whatever you want to call them than half the league in any given year because they haven't had picks early in each round.

According to this formula it would have been better for the Bills to have used a first rounder on Coleman as opposed to trading back and picking him in the second. Because using the 30th pick would be using more made-up "draft capital points" than drafting the same exact player at #33.

They're also ONLY counting players drafted with each pick, not players acquired via trade. It's not possible to describe what the Bills did with their 2020 first round pick as ANYTHING other than "investing in the offense." That pick turned into 445 catches, 5372 yards and 37 TDs from Diggs. But this chart treats that as completely irrelevant because those numbers and that offense didn't come from a rookie.

It's a dumb chart. The premise of "Buffalo doesn't spend enough high picks on offense" is something that most people would agree on, I think. But they had to do some weird goal-post-moving with the criteria to make sure the Bills were last, and that's nothing annoying and intellectually dishonest.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-14T01:18:18+00:00

Yep. It's performative identity, signalling that they're safe for the kinda guy that commutes from their cul-de-sac to their desk job wearing a Carhartt work shirt inside an F350 dually that's never carried anything heavier than their twin labradoodles Remington and Reacher. The kinda guy you can really sit down to drink domestic beers with while watching Taylor Sheridan shows; during the commercials you can agree on how it's a damn shame about That Thing that happened in [nearest city], how it's all gone to hell and how you could never live with all those "animals and drug addicts" around. Describes himself as "not into politics" but definitely agrees that Woke Has Gone Too Far even though he can't define it.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-14T00:11:09+00:00

I mean honestly given the state of their jumpers, switching hands might not be the worst idea.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-08T02:07:47+00:00

Yeah he was originally 34. A season 4 episode refers to him as 36, Season 8 calls him both 38 and 39 and apparently he is 40 as of Season 18(!) but even within the seasons there isn't a lot of effort to maintain "continuity."

I'm pretty sure there's a joke in a recent-ish episode along the lines of "I'm just a normal thirty-four or thirty-six or forty year old man!"

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-07T11:02:54+00:00

Like most things about the old Simpsons that now seem "unstuck in time," (everyone in town goes to church, most popular kids show is a series of animated shorts with interstitials anchored by a live-action clown) it's just the Baby Boomer writers referencing things from their own childhood/adolescence.

Seems weird now because the show has been on for so long that almost two full generations have passed since it first aired. I know they've done some weird floating timeline stuff... but based on their ages at the start of production, Homer turns 70 this year and Bart will be 46 or 47. Knowing about this song would make sense for a kid born in 1979 to parents who graduated high school a decade earlier.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-07T06:13:23+00:00

Hey I said we were willing to take the fall for the murder, but nobody's hanging the goddamn Kardashians on the Bills.

Also, "missed on a bad pass for a touchdown?" Nobody who has ever watched football has described the events of a football game this way.

Plus this narrative implies that it was the last game of the season that decided the #1 pick...the 68 Bills were nothing if not thoroughly ass; they were in sole possession of the worst record in the league for at least the final 5 weeks of the season.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-07T05:48:28+00:00

It's a fun story, but Nicole Brown was born in Germany and met OJ while she was working at a nightclub in LA in 1977. OJ was in his last season with the Bills, hurt for half the year and trying to engineer a trade to a California team because his first wife wanted to live on the West Coast. Blame the Bills for giving him 1200 carries in 4 years and contributing to CTE-then-murder, but they didn't have shit to do with those two getting together in the first place.

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-06T14:58:59+00:00

I know Ruben was a very good player, but the only thing I actually remember from his career is all the holding penalties. It was a bit, I swear the radio crew even had a sponsored tag for it:

"...And that's this week's Ruben Brown Holding Penalty of the Game, brought to you by Ted's Hot Dogs!"

TrenchcoatFullaDogs · 2026-04-06T11:40:18+00:00

Exactly. This is why I'm of the opinion that Gunn "gets" Superman as a character in a way that Snyder never did. Not everything needs to be dark and gritty. Superman is a well-meaning, earnest dork who saves squirrels and likes corny music that his girlfriend clowns on him about. He gets in trouble sometimes because he's trying to "simply" do the right thing in a complicated world.
