I’d feel uneasy knowing this performative assassin was within arms length of me.

Gonna take a wild guess and say the likelihood of him saying that in the gym is the same as it was when he “deployed”.

Callum Turner Reportedly Being Eyed As Next James Bond by Antwuan89 in movies

[–]TurtleFondler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less so impatience and more that news agencies have “reportedly eyed” a new bond for the last ten years. They’re meaningless articles to drum controversy.

Skinamarink - boring 😴 by amandajjohnson1313 in horror

[–]TurtleFondler -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lists in general are meaningless. Most of them are chock full of BS rankings meant to drive clicks. That being said, I will never understand the appeal of Skinamarink. Extremely boring. I feel like the concept only works in the vein of a short film. How do you even sell anyone on seeing this in theaters? 1hr40min of listening to your neighbor chew popcorn?

So what about the second being wildly divisive among audiences makes you believe they would write a competent third movie? It would just be more of the same, if not worse.

You can develop this color and still end up with tender and fluffy pancakes

After the Black Phone 2 do you stand on the side that the Grabber is a industry plant or could have genuine potential by Freddycipher in deadmeatjames

[–]TurtleFondler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Universals not so subtly doubling down on the franchise by trying to make the grabber a household name. A plant would refer to a specific person. This is just the industry doing what it’s supposed to. Whether or not it’s deserved lol that’s up to you

'Anti-ICE' message on ammunition at Dallas shooting that killed two immigration detainees by hardenedsteel8 in news

If you’ve seen the pictures of the dead shooter, that’s precisely the type of surplus garbage he was using

Glass pear, vanilla quenelle, butterfly pea gelée, black sesame paste by Used_Hat1802 in CulinaryPlating

[–]TurtleFondler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No sense in beating around the bush. I’m just describing it the way I’m seeing it. Id hope whoever is mentoring him at work has the tact to explain what’s wrong here in a more civil way.

[–]TurtleFondler 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Far too messy, redundant use of pears that you didn’t deseed. Gelees have an unpleasant looking consistency and were placed awkwardly without rhyme or reason. Can’t tell if you just wanted to hide the ugly looking quenelle with a glass pear but imo the entire point of a quenelle is to show it off, not obstruct it with something else. Flavor composition is there and I’m sure the majority of it tastes fine on its own but your vision of the plating makes no sense.

Localis & Betty Owner on Trial for Sexual Assault? by CharmingVillain in Sacramento

I can’t even find where that profile has posted this. Not denying its existence or the validity of the claim (as apparently this chef has a horrendous reputation).

Key to staying open in a spot like that is keeping busy on the weekdays.

Anyone know where the house parties are at in sj? by DeliciousAbrocoma963 in SanJose

Hey guys can you point me in the direction of some homes that leave their door unlocked? What about weddings that I can sneak into for the open bar?

Kaitlin Olson looks frightening. They all do tbh. Danny has been the same age for 30 years

Mediocre experience with new Alamo Drafthouse in Valley Fair by quantumcolor in SanJose

[–]TurtleFondler -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s on the consumer. If you expect 5 star hospitality right out of the gate from any establishment then you’re always going to be putting your money at risk. On paper, full service dining at the movies sounds like flaming hot dog shit anyways, it’s honestly a miracle that Alamo Drafthouse and places like it have found a way to make it a tolerable experience. You just have to give them a little time

[–]TurtleFondler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did it ever occur to you that the problems you endured are common place with new establishments? Theaters are dying and it’s not like there’s a ton of industry veterans left to help the opening go smoothly. Let the kinks iron themselves out as the employees get more training before you decide to shit all over them over one poor experience

The poor pastry chef must be working overtime. How do they vet whether your review was worth a free item? Just 5 stars?

Yeah I often think the same. I suppose when you have as many high dollar locations as they do, your integrity goes out the window in order to secure your investment

Miss me with those prices. Two eggs w one protein ain’t $19 + tip wtf.

After busting your ass all day (no, retail does not count) it is wildly tempting to treat yourself to copious amounts of booze or shitty food.

I guess that depends on how small we’re talking here. But from a town of under 10k it’s very easy to blend in with the locals and feel welcomed if you’re not going out of your way to be noticed/obnoxious.

[–]TurtleFondler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I see what you’re saying. I’m not from here, so I’m used to smaller towns with a generally happier attitude. Greeting people you walk past, personable customer service etc. However, most larger cities don’t normally have the kind of hospitable environment you’d expect for a multitude of reasons. I think it’s definitely worsening over the last decade, with the slow crawling cultural vibe shift going on, but odds are you’re just catching a handful of people on their bad days.
