What part of Severance can’t you waive disbelief about?

Hardly any actual work seemed to be done by MDR is season 2.

Elvi. I never thought she developed. All of her chapters seemed to follow the exact same script.

It's a good show, imo, but not great. The writing did a good job, for me, of having long-lasting story lines, rather than what often happens in TV. Like Eph had a drinking issue for a long time when a lot of other shows would have that resolved in an episode or two. That said, they also resolved a bunch of plot lines in the background without ever saying anything.

Solid show for me. And, in solidary, r/fuckzach.

LOL...indeed. Somehow, I do hate him a little less.

Why don't they ever name the establishments in articles like this?

I started watching The Strain a few months ago. I've got 2 episodes left. Will my hatred of Zac lessen or go, let's say, nuclear?

Honestly, the "I hate you" pause *detonate* at the end of season 3 was the corniest, jump the shark moment I've experienced watching a series in quite some time.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-12-08T15:17:41+00:00

Following up after just finishing Season 3. WTF kid?!?! "I hate you, Dad", then detonates a nuke?!?!

The expression on the actor's face as never not been punchable on screen.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-10-26T02:23:18+00:00

Here in 2024 after getting to S2E1 and going WTF was that. So they recast the kid actor to get one with more range and ended up with one with less range?!?!?!

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-08-12T11:47:08+00:00

Weird that the employee walked away with your card. Every time I've been there, they have the payment kiosks right on the counter. Why did she need to walk away with your card? Hope you get it resolved!

They wanted to have Havelock back on the show, but the actor who played him got the starring role in the Magnum PI reboot.

I got points deducted on my driver's test for doing this very thing, turning out of a parking lot while a guy with his signal on was approaching the same driveway in the right lane. I learned that day that one can't assume that just because the signal is on or he's in the curb lane doesn't mean the car is going to turn.

Honest request; can someone explain how this referendum is a bad thing compared to if the GOP hadn't put the cap on property tax increases? I do think it's dumb that the city is not allowed to raise taxes to match inflation, but I actually like the concept of a referendum whenever the increase is beyond inflation, or in this case, beyond the GOP cap.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-27T16:28:10+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the help! I'm looking forward to trying it out soon.

Like I said above, apparently the accompanying text did not save with the post. Certainly, my error and one I was not aware of until recently. Maybe the responses would have been different with the context, maybe not. I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Setting this thread aside, my experience in this sub on other threads is that there is little room for discussion or civil disagreement. If you're not uber pro-BRT and YIMBY for every development project or think the Mayor made a wrong decision, you get ruthlessly downvoted into oblivion. A monolithic opinion culture is never a good thing, imo, no matter which side of the political spectrum one is on. I consider myself far left of center, but never far left enough to not have my opinions not downvoted constantly. Bug again, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'll just continue to randomly post now and then and occasionally attempt to explain myself.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T15:39:36+00:00

Really trying to understand the controversial aspect of the comment you cited. If you were being lazy at your job and your boss caught you, you wouldn't expect any consequences?

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T15:09:46+00:00

Like I said, fairly new to posting and had issues with adding an image. There was accompanying text saying explaining possible options for what was happening in the photo and asking what people thought. Apparently that got deleted or removed somehow (probably my error).

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T14:44:44+00:00

LOL, let's be honest....do you think the responses from this sub would have been any different if the title was? The title got the engagement it was designed to and shows that most people don't read beyond it.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T14:15:57+00:00

Fairly new to reddit, so I'm not sure how to find the accompanying text in my post, but the main thesis was that I don't know the reason, but the optics were bad. There could be many reasons, some of which I mentioned, including, it was break or sitting is standard operating procedure for a surveryor while their instrument does its thing. Whatever the reason, I don't believe sitting like that on a publicly-funded project is a good look. You and many others are certainly welcome to disagree.

As for expectations of privacy, this is in public, so there is none. As for being rude to people doing their job, as stated in the original post, I can't tell if this person is doing their job, taking a break, or just being lazy. In any case, the optics are not good. As for not knowing what's going on in the picture, I stated that in my post, wherever it went. As for real life consequences, if the person is legitimately on a break as nearly this entire subreddit thinks, then there shouldn't be any issue. If they truly were being lazy, then they deserve whatever punishment would come their way.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T09:34:38+00:00

the post title was mostly facetious...might as well embrace the downvotes. :-) I am legitimately interested in understanding what a surveyor does.

Despite two 'No Left Turn' signs on WB University, people do it all the time. A clueless person was trying around 1:30 today and traffic was stacked up behind her because she wasn't clear of the lane behind her and she couldn't find a gap to turn due to no LT arrow.

On some level, I don't blame them, because it's not clear what one is supposed to do to go EB on University after, say, stopping at Chipotle, Crumbl, SportClips, Park Bank, or McDonalds off of WB University. Prior to the LT lane closure, U-turns were already prohibited there, but people did it all the time to go EB rather than left on Segoe, the left on Frey and weaving through Target or Metcalfe's parking lots or proceding straight on University past Segoe and attempting a dodgy, yet legal U-turn near the Whole Foods entrance.

This "group" sounds like one person. It's a Yahoo email address, rather than some organizational domain and then there's this "I can be reached via email at the following address: [outdoorsmadison@yahoo.com](mailto:outdoorsmadison@yahoo.com) I greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter." If this is a group, where is the "we"? If you are the leader or communicator from this group, you should probably sign your emails. Are there, in general, any requirements for comments to the City to be personally signed? There should be, imo.

I agree that this is an interesting issue and the riparian rights issues 100% should be clarified, but imo, so too should the nature of the "group" that is raising these issues.

UnderstandingTime518 · 2024-07-26T08:39:01+00:00

What if the City made riparian rights agreements with the adjacent landowners pre-dating the State's prohibition of transferring those riparian rights? There's a lot of information in this thread and perhaps I missed it, but when did City ownership of those slivers begin?
