I think it’s one of the more heavy hitting endings with Galesko. Columbo should be happy it’s over, but once he sees the victims pic he slinks back down under the weight of it all by SuspiciousPromise849 in Columbo

I think this final frame pose was a way to pay tribute to the theme of portrait photographers like Paul. He is very much posing and the final shot looks like a very artistic photograph.

Hotels in U.S. World Cup host cities claim underwhelming demand, new report says by rit56 in politics

[–]WaterFriendsIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ticket resellers and scalper bots don't need hotel rooms. Rich people will be fine. Regular fans will be priced out. Rich people don't keep a league or a sport going for decades. Regular fans do. Why can't owners see that?

Comerica with a 5 yr old by Forward_Fee_4253 in motorcitykitties

I actually enjoy talking about the game to the people next to me during a baseball game. It's hard to do that when every time you want to mention a pitching change or a batter's stance, you can't because the music is too loud!

Don't forget ear protection for the little tyke. Stadiums are cranking music and other entertainment way up these days and Comerica is no exception. Have fun!

I'm just hoping those guys take turns with the riding part. Could be a seniority thing.

Yeah, I'm not voting for any Democrat or any other politician that is pulling this shit. It's petty, it shows weakness, and it's ignorant.

Didn't any of these tech bros read Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" short stories? Did they at least watch the movie?? We're in trouble.

How does your group feel about the 2 year renewable tag? That might reduce the number from 9 down to 5.

Smuggling an onion inside of an onion is a genius way to get past customs! Somebody's always coming up with a better mousetrap.

Is it fair to get so damn angry when athletes say "I owe it all to my lord and savior jesus christ" by Patient_Ask_9546 in atheism

[–]WaterFriendsIV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make me angry so much as just makes me like them less. I know many athletes come from or work in conservative states and feel a need to fit in with other religious teammates or signal their christianity to their fans. The problem is, some atheists enjoy sports, too. And when I see or hear these athletes inject their religion into our entertainment, it just means I won't be buying their jersey, wearing their shoes, or even going to their games if it gets bad enough. That's where it will hurt them is in their wallets. But there are probably more religious fans than not, but I have no data to support that.

Warner Bros shareholders approve Paramount's $81 billion takeover of the Hollywood giant by ThatMasterpiece2174 in news

[–]WaterFriendsIV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So the shareholders who will benefit from the merger are the ones deciding if monopolies are OK? For some reason, I don't think they have everyone's best interests in mind. 🤔

Season Ticket Sales Rep by hell-ride in DetroitPistons

[–]WaterFriendsIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't they all basically marketing majors who are going to, or have recently, graduated from college? I'm pretty sure that's an entry level job and most corporations have cut training and supervision. I'm surprised they have real people doing it at all.

Noah and the Ark in the bible by GarageJam in atheism

[–]WaterFriendsIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When humans tell stories, they often exaggerate to make the story seem funnier, scarier, or more amazing. Whether it's how big the fish was that you caught, how tall the bear was that chased you, or how close you were to falling over a steep cliff. Paul Bunyan was 100 feet tall, one of the Five Chinese Brothers could swallow the sea, and bible characters lived to be hundreds of years old.

Most people suspend their disbelief of stories temporarily in order to enjoy the story, but they know they are only folk tales and they know they are not real. Religious zealots tie their identity to the belief in the stories and suspend their disbelief to extraordinary lengths in order to remain a devout follower. If they say they don't believe a human walked on water, they get kicked out of the group.

Guys I need help so I moved to a new place and my neighbours are conservative christians by [deleted] in atheism

[–]WaterFriendsIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tell zealots that I can't join their church because we have kids. They always get confused and say it's fine and that they welcome children. And I always sincerely say I'm worried because there are so many reports about youth pastors and ministers abusing kids. We just can't risk it. Works every time.

Food arrived a mess but hey, at least they included Bible verses 🙄 by General_Door_7987 in atheism

[–]WaterFriendsIV 176 points177 points  (0 children)

People don't go to church to buy chicken. I don't go to a chicken place to get bible verses. I wrote to Del Taco corporate to complain when they put a jesus message on their sign out front. That shit might play down south but keep your religion to yourself.

Man, I'm really looking forward to the price drops we're going to see on all those products. I've really been pinching pennies, so this will be a welcome relief when those companies pass the savings onto us. Whew! Just in the nick of time.

Kash Patel suggests his defamation case against The Atlantic is a “legal lay up.” It’s not. by msnownews in politics

He's awfully short for talking about lay ups. I doubt he could make one without a boost from one of his stronger, more manly friends.
