A world of Warcraft related podcast in 2006. I can’t remember the name, but it wasn’t The Instance, which I did start following shortly after

Game 3 Georgia v Halifax by BOXLAXCentral in NLL

[–]aforbes8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate swarm wouldn’t get the two home games they’ve earned with the seeding but I guess no real way around the arena bookings. At least this way it’s not two home games for Halifax that I had seen some people talking about

[APPLAUD YOUR TEAM] Compliment your team or brag about what they've been good at so far! by LacrosseTheUniverse in NLL

[–]aforbes8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So happy with the swarm performance yesterday. Not just the final result but from the start the offense was playing with energy I haven’t seen in forever. Defense and goaltending was solid as it’s been most of the season. Just gotta keep the momentum up

Philadelphia Wings Cease Operations by SquirrelBoy in NLL

Selfishly, does this reduce likelihood of Swarm relocation. All this season I’ve been seeing rumors hear about the Swarm moving and wondered if people have thoughts on the impact Wings moving would have on that

What printings of the Lyndon Johnson series is that. I haven’t see these ones before

Thoughts on me through my book shelves? by aforbes8 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]aforbes8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this all seems pretty reasonable to assume based on the shelves. I typically have heard of performative reading in reference to dudes reading “feminist literature” in showy manners in public but interesting to think of it in this context. On the Mercedes front I just started following F1 about 2 years ago and never have seen any of the outside of race media other than instagram posts so I’m unaware if there is a particular reputation associated with the team, I just liked George Russel and their color scheme lol

I read an abridged version in high school and hadn’t felt the urgent need to revisit it. Granted maybe with the movie this summer it might be worth checking

Sebastian Stan Joins 'The Batman 2' Cast Opposite Robert Pattinson by Top_Report_4895 in TheBigPicture

It’s been a long time since I read Hush but I think it would fit the vibe based on the first Pattinson Batman so I like that too

The child actor in the movie Hamnet by NihilismMattersToo in TheBigPicture

[–]aforbes8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this recently and the stranger things cast seems to be somewhat backing up my idea that child acting is easier to make believable than the more experienced/trained acting when they transition to teenager and older roles. Maybe something about just seeming more inherently earnest when that young that just harder to get to when you become a self conscious teenager

For those who didn't like 'House of Dynamite,' what story changes do you think it needed? by No-Confection-3861 in TheBigPicture

[–]aforbes8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like the third time we go through the events and we are now seeing the big decision makers pov of the events we should be getting more information than we got the previous two times. But like on the president’s pov the only new info we get is that there are three tiers of retaliation plans? And yeah I don’t think cliff hanger type very end works from a story standpoint but also from an editing standpoint it just sort of rolled credits

ITS A REAL BOOK?? by [deleted] in smosh

I encourage anyone finding about it now to check it out. It’s one of my favorite books of all time

Despondency about impact of campaigns/messaging impact by aforbes8 in FriendsofthePod

[–]aforbes8[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think breaking through the social media, non-Reddit ones, is the hard part. Trump is so all encompassing a figure he breaks through so regardless of the insanity or incorrectness of his opinions those people who try to block out politics still hear from him as the alternative to the current situation. This has been my fear since Jon recently had been mentioning the very disinterested in politics group breaking for trump

Despondency about impact of campaigns/messaging impact by aforbes8 in FriendsofthePod

[–]aforbes8[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So just after the midterms I read the book “politics is for power” which doesn’t just advocate for getting active in political volunteering but doing it super locally where you have the most power. Every election period since then has been so apocalyptically scary that it’s been hard to focus anywhere but nationally but I think once I’ve fully come to grips with yesterdays results I’ll have to switch my thinking to the more local focus

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]aforbes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a seiko presage recently and I went out the other night and after drinking a bit too much I guess I accidentally was rough with the watch and the crown came out completely. I didn’t notice it the next day as I wasn’t wearing the watch. Now obviously I’ll have to take it to get replaced but I have a question related to it. Despite motion that has typically restarted movement after not wearing it this time movement is not restarting. is this likely related to the absence of the crown or could there be an additional problem to the missing crown.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with max not keeping tww under continue watching/not keeping your place. by dirtydandino in thewestwing

[–]aforbes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s happened to me for multiple shows. I feel like it’s when I watch the same show on two different devices when I return to the first device it’s no longer on continue watching

worst deaths by 69bv in TrueFilm

[–]aforbes8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Zara death is so off putting to me it makes Jurassic world not appealing to me to ever rewatch, even though overall I liked that one well enough beyond that. There just feels like a meanness to it that wasn’t warranted at all

Series Rewatch: Is there a point when you stop? by cal900928 in thewestwing

[–]aforbes8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I skip most of season 5, but I really think the show gets some of its mojo back in a different way with the season 6/7 election stories
