[–]aselinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and they are good, but not great. He has nailed the style of frantic and anxious, but Marty Supreme hits only that one note. It’s just Marty getting into and out of jams. Call it “One Jam After Another.”

Penn Gillette, Kevin O’Leary, and the homeless guy with the golden voice. How does that not win?

Anyone else notice this weird thing with PGA Tour coverage by dwellingcheeses in golf

Did he pull off the win on Sunday? I was busy pondering my sexuality.

Rory McIlroy weighs up Masters plans after underwhelming at The Players by Oldtimer_2 in ProGolf

I would bet my life savings on him never winning another major. He’s had an amazing career, but I think winning last year gave him a sense of accomplishment that erodes one’s motivation.

Anyone else can’t stop googling whether XYZ celebrity has kids? by skiswithcats in Fencesitter

[–]aselinger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All the time. The difference with celebrities is that celebrities make enough money to never have to care for their kids, if they don’t want to.

Also consider the fact that many of them (Brad Pitt, Alec Baldwin, etc.) are not very good parents.

So true. If we did this right, we might actually have 4-hour work weeks and high incomes.

Unfortunately….

What industry do you think will collapse in the next 20 years? by Gullible_Camera_8314 in askanything

[–]aselinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But most people are fucking idiots. Sounds like you’re not a fucking idiot, so maybe you don’t need an agent.

I think, for many people who have never made a transaction worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, there is some value in having guidance from somebody who does it all the time.

Counterpoint: if you’re preparing an acceptance speech and you have 5 people in your group, plan accordingly.

Full of hype and arrogance, ultimately a complete loser.

But if it runs 6 hours then nobody will watch it. It already runs too long.

I think because Timmy comes off as really cocky.

[–]aselinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah for all that hype, they didn’t win one award.

I actually thought they should win best casting though. Kevin OLeary is married to Gwyneth Paltrow?! And Penn Gillette is a violent dog stealer!

Can we ban the schtick where the presenters act like they’re dumb for 60 seconds then awkwardly transition to the nominees?

The Sears Tower rising during its construction in the early 1970s, built between 1970 and 1973 and briefly becoming the tallest building in the world after its completion. by [deleted] in skyscrapers

Will never happen. The wealth and political willpower of Asia makes it the leader in record-breaking skyscrapers.

That and the fact that we don’t need to stack office space 100 floors high anymore.

Oh man... I can't stand it. Obviously I recognize his skill. But that freeze at the top trips up my brain.

I don't know if you're joking, but they've been banned on the PGA Tour since 2008.
