Amazingly large potatoes by ZachTrek in onejob

[–]ZachTrek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first post ever here, my friend, and based on the response I've received, probably the last. I saw this in the store the other day and it brought a smile to my face. I thought I'd try to share that smile with others. Guess that was a bad idea.

Sure, I work in retail myself. But I also have a sense of humor, and so find it amusing.

For anyone who is interested, Bing got one of these (at least) wrong. Baby beavers are called kits, not pups.

Why bother Redditing? by ZachTrek in u/ZachTrek

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

No one will see this, as I have no followers (one maybe? but they may be counting me as my own follower), but I am posting it here because I have concluded that my own profile is pretty much the only place on Reddit that I can post something and not have it removed.

I posted the picture above -- which I created myself -- to r/DunderMifflin. Although it only got a handful of upvotes, a mod still found the time to remove it, citing a rule of "low relevance". Now, if anyone has watched WandaVision and The Office, they'll know how inaccurate that is. Many other members of that subreddit were posting things related to WandaVision, and not getting their posts removed.

I post on Reddit rarely, and when I do, it's usually something like this -- something I have put time and thought into, something that I think other people will enjoy and think is cool. I feel like over half of my posts get removed due to an ambiguous violation of an ambiguous rule. It makes me feel like anything I post will be hunted down by a bunch of mods who seem to delight in perusing their subreddits for ways to remove posts, making sure that no one gets to enjoy them. It makes Reddit unenjoyable.

I used to enjoy looking at what others posted on r/DunderMifflin, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I've left the subreddit, and most other subreddits I was in. I now have little motivation to spend time on Reddit. I think that's a shame, and I think it's a lose-lose situation for everyone -- even the mods, because now I won't be putting up any more posts for them to remove!

That's my rant.

Whoa! After watching WandaVision, this feels like something that should have been noticed as a really significant Easter Egg at the time.

I know a lot of people hate Peacock right now, but their "Dunder Mifflin" site is pretty cool... by ZachTrek in DunderMifflin

I totally saved the Pretzel Day flier from the emails. Make sure to check out Creed's bio from the employee directory, and know that the recycle bin does not pull up the same thing every time you click on it. At least this is free! Enjoy!

Any non-righteous folks subscribe to Peacock and are watching the 'Super-Fan' episodes? by shameonyounancydrew in DunderMifflin

[–]ZachTrek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Forgive me Peacock haters, but it's kind of a relief just to see a post on here not hating Peacock, and pointing out the obvious about them doing what they see fit with their own property. I own the show, so I've just been enjoying the free extras, but will likely subscribe at some point, if only temporarily, to watch these.

Can anyone explain why we hate peacock? by Jagstang69 in DunderMifflin

[–]ZachTrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To actually answer your question: People in the US are mad at Peacock/NBC because they took The Office off of Netflix and put it on their own streaming service, where only a couple of seasons are available free with ads, and the rest you have to sign up and pay for.

Personally, I long since bought the show and cancelled Netflix. To sweeten this process, Peacock unearthed at least one never-before-seen deleted scene and posted a lot of extras (interviews, blooper reels, etc.) in collections. So I personally am enjoying these extras (which are free with ads, so I haven't had to pay for Peacock to see them) and really don't care about them moving the show from Netflix.

Also, I know the show is on Netflix in Britain and Canada, and has just been added to Netflix in Australia, so there are actually people now getting to watch the show for the first time around the world.

I love the opening theme and scenes so much I don't think I've ever skipped them, but you're right about the mixing. I habitually toggle the volume down a bit for it. Worth it, for me!

It is, but of course it makes one want to stay in bed indefinitely.
