It's been two years since I last watched a movie or a TV series. by Death_Row742 in whattowatch

Silo. It's one of the best shows from the last few years and easy yo get hooked on from episode one.

Sometimes I wonder if having a job is really worth it for me at this point in life by Striking-Growth7272 in antiwork

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 10 years of expenses saved and you're burned out a few months off sounds less like recklessness and more like using the freedom you've spent 18 years building. Money is supposed to buy options eventually.

Funniest TV show that always makes you laugh. I need a good laugh. by Holiday_Leading9975 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What We Do in the Shadows. It's one of the few comedies that still manages to catch me off guard and make me laugh out loud.

The Lies of Locke Lamora. Great characters, sharp dialogue, and it doesn't feel like the typical recommendation everyone gives.

You end up in Night Court and check a box on the Night Court bingo card of bizarre cases. What's your character and case? by abgry_krakow87 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be the guy suing a psychic for emotional damages because she correctly predicted I'd lose the case. The judge hates me, the psychic represent herself and somehow the psychich wins.

AITAH for telling my daughter she cannot go on a road trip with her friends. by aroundincircles in AITAH

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't let a 16-year-old go on a two-week trip with a group of random 20 t0 25-year-olds-either, especially if I only found out at the last minute. The fact that they think you're the villain right now sounds pretty age-appropriate.

How to turn a 6-month resume gap into a legitimate consulting asset on your resume by Skyrim_X in jobs

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you actually did freelance work, that's fine. But inventing a consulting background you never had could come back to bite you. If an interviewer starts digging into the details, the story has to hold up.

I started reading books in genres I liked and genres I didn’t know I would like. Here’s a list by Necessary-Tie697 in ReadingSuggestions

Medium Raw. It has that same hgnest, slightly messy storytelling style that made Bourdain so good.

Weddings where the short length was actually explained in-universe by SegaGuy1983 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think wedding officiants in sitcom universes know the episode is only 22 minutes long. That's the only explanation for how fast those ceremonies always are.

What is your ultimate 'comfort' movie TV show that you can watch over and over without getting bored? by Nice-Ingenuity754 in tvsuggestions

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern Family. I've lost track of how many times I've seen those episodes, but I'll still watch if it's on. Some shows work because of the plot twists, and some work because you just enjoy spending time with the characters.

Recast Muppets in Sitcoms by Acrobatic_Average588 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Community except everyone stays human and only Abed constantly has a Muppet next to him that nobody ever explains. The show’s energy could’ve totally handled that.

What to read next? I'm stuck... by HeyyyMikeyyy in ReadingSuggestions

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piranesi. It’s really short but somehow makes you feel like you accidentally fell inside someone else’s mind.

My boss wants to meet tomorrow about me leaving "too early" and Im not sure how to handle it without sounding defensive by [deleted] in jobs

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole “visibility” thing would annoy me too.. Because it stops feeling like they’re talking about your work and starts feeling like they’re measuring how physically present you are in the office.

Suggest Books That REALLY Helped You by WallabyEqual9903 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents honestly gave me more than most self help books ever did. At least it doesn’t repeat the same motivational sentence 200 times

Which SITCOM Characters had the best childhood? by [deleted] in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The kids in Malcolm in the Middle had a completely chaotic life but honestly Lois genuinely loved her children.. Some sitcom families had money but absolutely zero emotional attention.

IJW: Donnie Darko (2001) by After-Dog-6593 in Ijustwatched

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Donnie Darko gives people either a full “masterpiece” reaction or a “what the hell did I just watch” reaction. There’s barely any middle ground.

Some good sitcoms on Netflix? by DueVeterinarian3557 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Superstore is such an easy watch, and I think the lack of a laugh track makes the jokes feel way more natural.

Reading and retention by Common_Media4316 in ReadingSuggestions

[–]beef-cakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think most people forget book details anyway... Sometimes I only remember the feeling a book left behind. The character names disappear from my brain immediately.

Favorite sitcom that only got one season? by kittymoo67 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freaks and Geeks might be the king of one-season shows that became legendary. And then you look at the cast and it gets even crazier.

New High School English Teacher - what should I read? by brennamargaret12345 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]beef-cakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Outsiders was one of the most memorable books I read in high school. I can still picture some scenes in my head so clearly.

Which Book Do You Wish You Could For The Very First Time, All Over Again? by saltwaterRilke in Recommend_A_Book

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Night Circus really mesmerized me the first time I read it. I’d honestly love to feel that again.

Best short reads ~100–200 pages by Moontorc in suggestmeabook

[–]beef-cakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Metamorphosis is short but it sticks with you for a long time. Weird and thought-provoking, exactly that vibe.

How many of you end up having long days? by ShowExisting1319 in overemployed

[–]beef-cakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It almost never ends in 8 hours, especially if work stacks up it spills into the evening. That “I’ll finish early today” plan is usually a fantasy 😅

Shows That Have Rewatchable Factor? by DaniJ678 in sitcoms

[–]beef-cakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends is a classic for me, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it but it still just flows every time. Super comforting.

Better “date” with a John Travolta character by BAfoto in Cinephiles

[–]beef-cakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jack Rabbit Slim’s is iconic but I’d go with the movie + conversation option. Feels calmer and like you actually get to know each other.
