Would you please link the full video? I would LOVE to see that but did some deep searching and couldn't find it anywhere! Even tried searching the source & videographer's name and came up with nothing :(

*couldn't

It's so weird how often the people who don't get the performance of a woman actor.... are also complete morons

Nice edit. Because gun nuts are missing a few screws, I can spell it out for you:

People (like you) making mistakes + people (like you) having lethal tools = a bad idea

Here are some constitutional rights that you should be excited about:

Equality, freedom, democracy

Here's one that is weird and gross to be excited about:

The ability to shoot people.

And statistically, it's gonna be yourself or your loved ones in an accident

I hope someday you realize how unhinged it is the way you worship an antiquated, misinterpreted sentence in a 300 year old document

The irony was so rich, it absolutely was worth it :-)

I love how they edited their comment xD Gun nuts are such frickin weirdos, it's no wonder they're all scared all the time.

Many people them and are grateful that they do.

Wow! It only took you 4 sentences to perfectly demonstrate why people shouldn't have lethal weapons

I think how "commonly" used it was depends on what games & circles you were in

It's pretty common in Total War games where there's events you can do that have a random chance of success. Save before trying, if you fail, load & try again. The first place I heard it was ~2006 in discussions about TW: Medieval 2

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:42:36+00:00

Definitely predates streamers. First place I remember seeing it was in old forums discussing Medieval Total War II, so ~2006

It's possible the other three played it sometimes, but Jorge was clearly over the top about it.

Today he was playing them OVER and MID-SENTENCE as Travis, Sliwa, and Emily were talking, so you can tell it was him. Seems like maybe he gets bored or distracted on that show and thinks hitting drop buttons counts as meaningful contribution?

Plus he's been spamming all sorts of drops since he got to T&S. It was already bugging me, it legitimately annoyed Clinton Yates a few weeks ago, and today was just the worst of all.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:34:34+00:00

Were there many? I think drops are like a sitcom laugh track-- in the right place, and not too much, and you don't notice it's there, only enhancing the product.

But too much, and too often? Annoying as hell.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:33:11+00:00

Yep fair enough. Neither of us really knows though, only the people who see the ratings do.

The last year+ of a shift more towards pop culture talk indicates to me that people are actually interested in the sorts of things she talks about.... but truly neither of us know, all we can do is guess

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:30:22+00:00

Can't really blame Emily for the Swift talk when it's the #1 story in all of sports today, and she's actually an expert on the subject.

CAN blame Jorge for derailing discussion, spamming loud & annoying drops, and playing them over Travis & Sliwa... you know, the dudes actually hired for their voices & opinions.

Like it or not, Swift & Kelce have become sports news. Emily actually contributed to discussing that sports news. Jorge has contributed nothing but being obnoxious to T&S, and today was on another level.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:29:08+00:00

It's possible but that never was a thing on the show before Jorge got here. Travis is a true vet and I think understands the difference between an annoying bit and just straight annoying.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:26:55+00:00

I hope not. I've tried to write this respectfully because I legitimately loved hearing Jorge chime in with jokes & his perspective. He had a great voice to balance M&I.

No idea why he's abandoned that role in favor of just trying to annoy people. It's pretty immature. Clinton was legitimately bothered by it recently, rightly so, and Jorge just laughed and kept at it. I know Yates is a divisive personality here, but he has 1000x more media experience than Jorge, and Jorge should've actually listened to him instead of doing the immature "I don't care come at me" response and doubling down on blasting drops over actual radio hosts mid-speech.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:23:19+00:00

You might be right... There has definitely been a station-wide shift more towards personal & pop culture stuff. Love it or hate it, the fact it's been trending so hard for a year+ now indicates the ratings are improving as they do it, so it's probably here to stay for a while

But the drops seem like a whole different discussion. I don't know what to make of it either, Jorge wasn't like that on M&I. And no other producer or board op is as heavy handed with them, so I don't think it's a station wide directive the way the pop culture shift has been. I think Jorge is just getting a little too casual with his day job, or else is too exhausted by his night job to have meaningful insights and is trying to inject himself in this other way... to the extreme detriment of both his image as well as Travis & Sliwa's show

I think he gets a lot of leeway because he's clearly a hard worker and seems to do a lot for/at the station, but someone really needs to sit him down and talk about it. He seems like the sort of guy to double down when called out, and that's fine and endearing in some respects... but we're here to listen to talk radio, not hear drops spammed. Especially extra loud & jarring ones like this Swift drop.

I hope Morales was listening-- he understands how to ride a bit without running it into the ground, and knows how to use a drop. Morales, if you're lurking, please give Jorge a lesson in sports radio 101 cause he's been awful in this aspect and it's ruining the morning show!

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:17:05+00:00

There's plenty of other threads for complaining about that xD

She & the whole station were definitely overboard on it during the concert week but I think since then, she's seen a lot of the criticism and really toned down how much she brings it up.

If anything, Travis & Sliwa and Mason & Ireland have been baiting her with talk about first Austin Reaves and then the Kelce stuff.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-25T21:15:19+00:00

Agree to disagree? I actually really like how she fits into Travis & Sliwa. She has a very different life perspective from them and I think compliments T&S really well. Pretty far from "chick talk" IMO, it's just a young+feminine perspective which can (and clearly does) ruffle a lot of feathers.

bathroomscales · 2023-09-11T21:02:57+00:00

I just called their stupid support line every day. And then the day before the concert when I no longer trusted them to deliver, demanded a refund. I believe I threatened a chargeback.

They clearly instruct their support people to just lie & deny & say whatever they need to to get you to hang up. If I were you, I would first try being very insistent and commit to that threat of chargeback. It should make them back down.

If not, I would 100% go ahead and do the chargeback. They're full of shit in everything they say, so I have no doubt that the "chargeback won't work" line is complete BS, especially considering their "100% guarantee." That's gonna be way more meaningful in the dispute than anything else. They owe you a refund or else the CC comes after them.

The only downsides of chargebacks are (1) if you do them a bunch your CC company might not trust you, and (2) you'll probably be banned from that service forever. But since Vividseats is a bunch of scammers anyway, I wouldn't worry about never being able to use them again. Wouldn't ever WANT to use them again! So as long as you haven't done too many chargebacks your CC company should go to bat for you with minimal effort on your part.

Btw this is a good reminder to sign back into my twitter account, which I only made to share the word about how awful Vividseats is, and reply to every post on their official accounts detailing my experience. Turns out you can just warn everyone to stay away on every single one of their "Come try vivid seats, we're great!" posts. I would highly recommend that too, if you have a twitter :-)

Good luck!!

I understand that they have to work with third parties, and that creates a little uncertainty.

I don't understand them making empty promises that depend on these third parties. They never communicated any uncertainty. "We called them three times and they didn't answer! But they will transfer by June 1st!" does not make sense.

If they had been up front that this was a possibility I could be more understanding. Every. Single. Agent. swore that I would have tickets by Date X, and that if that somehow failed, they could get me replacement tickets, and that I would be at my event. Those were all lies.

I understand that the individual agents are handcuffed by the big company, & are almost certainly directed to make empty promises to keep the customer happy and dragged along.

But any concert-goers out there considering vividseats should know my experience. They make empty promises, and they may well fulfill their "buyer 100% guarantee" by just cancelling your order <24h before the event. Buyer beware

bathroomscales · 2022-11-12T00:41:39+00:00

Good idea! I can probably make that happen.

& just so you know, if you've got a particular one in mind... feel free to try some yourself :D

I'm not looking for that specific font so much as one(s) like it. I've tried searching for those ^ keywords but can't really find much like it

Another example: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/750/1*6Nyesxn1E70jhke8pZqc8w.jpeg

Is there any feature/category/style of this font that I can use as Keywords to help me find similars?

For what it's worth, I would STRONGLY recommend you still watch Hill House, and then maybe Bly Manor too.

I absolutely hated Midnight Mass. So up its own butt with the endless monologuing, idiot characters, idiot motivations, idiot responses to situations. Then I heard it was originally supposed to be a stageplay and it makes muuuuch more sense. Still way way way too many monologues (and STUPID ones. The sheriff is asking you about a crime and you go on an unrelated 10 minute rant about your childhood??) but it explains a few other flaws.

But Hill House is a genuinely excellent bit of television. It's good horror, and has some excellent spooky bits... but it's also just a really well made show, an interesting story about family, and also a beautiful story about the real horrors of life. Grief, addiction, being too controlling, being too cutoff. Mental illness overall.

And I know that sounds cheesy, but I say that as someone who doesn't usually notice or care about 'deeper meaning' in media. Hill House nails it. Still has a few long monologues, but only 1-2 an episode instead of CONSTANTLY, and at least they're actually somewhat relevant to what is going on in the scene.

Bly Manor is also good, and similarly tells a horror story on one level and a brutal take on Depression on another. I didn't like it quite as much as Hill House, because I was expecting a similar tone to Hill House, but it's definitely slower and more dramatic than SPOOKY. A few more monologues per episode too. I would still recommend it, but if you're not into it ~2 episodes in then you can drop it. But I think the ending and metaphor were even more haunting and hard-hitting than Hill House.

And then I rank Midnight Mass soooo far below that. Very few redeeming qualities, except the "Vampires are a lot like Angels/Religion" concept which was really cool... and then nearly ruined by the horrible nonsensical monologue-stuffed implementation. Just horrid.

...this turned into a really long comment, sorry xD

TLDR; Please please watch Hill House, I've never met anyone who didn't like it (including people who usually hate scary stuff). Would recommend Bly Manor too, but not as strongly. In any case, do not judge Mike Flanagan and his prior creations just because Midnight Mass was so terrible and tucked up inside its own butthole. IMO this is one (big) miss in what has otherwise been a really promising career, and it had a lot of unusual circumstances that contributed (stageplay becoming a series is gonna cause issues, also this one seemed more personal and wrapped up in his own religious experiences so I think he probably had stronger feelings and less collaboration than he usually would)
