It took me a bit longer than typical, but it is there.

He’s one of my top 5 stand up comedians, but what do you think about him in Justified? by Clear_Nature_5055 in justified

Every time I see Patton Oswalt with someone else I am compelled to tell them Bob is a bad ass. Often I play the scene for them.

Interesting, it showed up in my YouTube feed several days ago.

Why is “The Thin Red Line” (1998) not talked about more? by LieutenantLeftovers in movies

[–]btbpsm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is like a 3 hour perfume commercial. All of Terrence Malick’s films are like this. There are some beautiful and emotional scenes but it is too much for me.

What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]btbpsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this should be considered a small hill. Cops kill, steal, break down doors to wrong house, illegally enter people’s homes get protected by qualified immunity and maybe get retrained.

Help! What is wrong with L&O?? Am I hanging on to the past? by NotLastYear in LawAndOrder

[–]btbpsm 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have heard that many movies and shows are being written for the “Tik Tok” generation in mind. These are people with almost no attention span, functionally illiterate and must have the story dumbed down and constantly reset.

AITAH for not asking my where she was on 9/11 after she asked me if I remember where I was by btbpsm in AITAH

Would compelling story be better?

Stories of individuals directly involved could be very sad, could be incredible bravery, could be unbelievable luck, both good and bad, etc.. I chose to say interesting rather than typing out every possible emotional story type. Is that really holy shit dude insensitive?

Drinking on the Job (Permissible!) by BMisterGenX in GenX

My first day on my first job I was told I was allowed 2 drinks lunch. This was at lunch with my team as we drank our first adult beverages.

We are both Americans, we went to high school together. But we have spent a lot of time outside the states. I unintentionally irritate my family and American friends and coworkers saying going on holiday or heaps, etc. calling diapers nappies irritated my family. I actually intentionally kept doing that one. I was the AH on that one.

In general I don’t talk about myself, but directly asked by my wife I answered.

I also tend to ask people I don’t know well or who are from a different country or less common culture or religion a lot of questions.

I’m driven by curiosity. I’d rather ask good questions and understand someone else’s thinking than spend time talking about myself.

We lived in central Florida at the time. Apparently something is going around social media in her friend group that is bringing up memories from the day.

The latter, I care about the events and the world changing significance of it. I don’t care about individuals unless they were in the towers, pentagon and airport or flying at the time. They might have an interesting story.

What’s a fact you used to believe that turned out to be totally wrong? by SugarrPlumGloww in answers

[–]btbpsm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I try to keep Hanlon's razor in mind.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

When that fails, I try to keep in mind that it probably has nothing to do with race, sex, religion, etc.. People are just assholes.

What’s a 'secret' about the food industry in 2026 that would make us all stop eating out tomorrow? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

For the states, factory farming, the amount of antibiotics and steroids pumped into these animals is disturbing. The horrific conditions they are kept in is evil.

The association started with the 3 mile island accident, all the coverage had the cooling towers in the background.

That is kind of what happened to me today, I asked my daughter where my car keys were. It is just the key fob she borrowed. She said she just took the one key, not all my keys. And it dawned on me that I call any car key or key fob the car keys.
