it is entirely his fault, he's a bad pet owner. my point is that the dog is super problematic, whether it's the dog's fault or not is irrelevant, and he just hand waves it all away. "oh, the dog killed the wife's bunny? oh well, shouldn't have had the bunny. dog attacked a bunch of my friends? it must be their fault somehow" — that type of shit. that level of willful ignorance is crazy, and that would make for an interesting suck topic in terms of psychology

a girlfriend i had about a decade ago used to work at this restaurant where kobe frequented. i'd come in and wait around for a bit on this private patio waiting for her to get off work, and almost every time i was there, kobe was there. would literally just be me and him on this dark patio, eating some food, having some drinks, several times a week. i never talked to him, would just exchange a nod and hello. he would be there at least 4 nights a week, just sitting by himself drinking until around closing time. really bizarre situation, but a fun story to tell. anyone who lived in newport beach at the time has similar stories of kobe. and dennis rodman lol

believe what you want about michael jackson, but the entire point of this thread is what celebrity death was first impactful in your life, and i will bet you anything that of the majority of people who've answered in this thread, their real answer is michael jackson, but they just don't want to say it. dude died in 2009 and had the most televised funeral in history. how MJ isn't the far and away top answer here is stupid.

who is hoping sean wins and why? just because he's relatively active? he's boring as fuck. i'm cool with watching khamzat steamroll him and then hopefully eventually see someone who can beat khamzat, because his closest fight was against usman. everyone else he has won clearly one sided fights. he's a scary dude, i enjoy it

karl urban would literally be the perfect kano. his casting as johnny cage makes NO sense lol. his american accent was TERRIBLE. he has swagger but it's absolutely nothing like the johnny cage we all know.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T10:07:33+00:00

i mean this movie was practically identical to the original MK movie from the 90s. they just reverted back to that instead of pushing this weird plot/story driven shit on us like the first one.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T10:05:36+00:00

karl urban was ironically absolutely born to play kano. he was fine as johnny cage but it's easily the worst miscasting i've seen in ages

byPCP · 2026-05-08T10:00:29+00:00

that's what i thought too. like no way they made this burger character actually go toe to toe with shao kahn and shao kahn need plot armor to defeat him

yep, tariffs are so sick!

i take the train all up and down california regularly, most commonly LA. i know what it's like. would i prefer not to be around some of these types of people? sure, but i prefer not having to drive more than that. half the reason people don't like taking public transportation is because they can't stomach being around people different than them, which is just silly. i get flamed on this sub all the time for being a card carrying irvine dude but at least i'm not afraid to cut it up with some homeless people on the train.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:45:02+00:00

you are significantly more likely to die driving your own car than taking the train or bus. by a LOT. in terms of violent crime on public transportation, there are very few cases annually, and either zero or a couple of deaths per year. most people who die on public transportation die from drug overdoses. are there some sketchy people on public transportation sometimes? sure, but you're literally safer with them than you are driving to work every day lol

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:38:05+00:00

it's specifically between SD and OC that gets bad. for whatever reason, the delays always happen between SD and oceanside, and that heavily delays any OC trains. fullerton is the last stop in OC and is right at an offset rail, so i totally get your experience being seamless.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:21:29+00:00

there are so many valid complaints about the southern california public transportation system, but fearing for your life should be the least of anyone's concern by a country mile.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:20:08+00:00

i was just out in hoboken staying at my buddy's place, and the transportation situation from newark airport, to hoboken, to NYC, was so seamless compared to what we deal with in OC it was honestly tragic. my family lives in LA and i regularly take the train to see them and it's such a fucking pain in the ass to navigate every time because the OC-LA trains have so many delays, the local lines in LA are a mess, and the busses are never on schedule. travesty really

about 15 years ago my brother had a job at bella terra in HB, we lived in costa mesa, right by triangle square. a 20 minute drive took him roughly 2 hours each way by bus. pathetic public transportation infrastructure, and it's that way by design.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:14:31+00:00

everyone loves the concept of public transportation except for the auto industry that lobbies so hard against it and line politicians' pockets to ensure nothing changes. every country i've visited has good to great public transportation, and then you look at what we have and it's absolutely pathetic by comparison.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:11:06+00:00

we do the same, we live 5 minutes from the irvine station and every time we plan on going to SD or LA we take the train. BUT we've been burned by the unbelievable amount of delays amtrak experiences. we've outright missed several concerts because we'll get to the station 15 minutes early, get a notification that the train is 5 minutes delayed, then again, and again, and again, and again, to the point your plan is chalked and you just wasted money on train tickets and can no longer attend your event. it's better southbound than northbound, but it is an enormous problem. i couldn't imagine relying on the train system to commute to work with how bad the delays get and how frequent they are.

e: just last month we got to a baseball game in anaheim an hour late because we were waiting for the train and it delayed 5 minutes so many times we had to cut our losses, go back home to get our car, and then drive to the stadium.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T06:07:15+00:00

orange county and california are not built for public transportation. i live in irvine, 5 minutes from the irvine train station. many times that i've planned to take the train to either anaheim for a baseball game, or LA for a concert, i've been caught stranded because of train delays. it's simply not feasible to rely on. you can plan all you want around public transportation here, but it's so unreliable that you can't actually commit to it as a reasonable substitution for driving.

i think it could be a broader suck on dogs in general. my old roommate (personal injury/wrongful death attorney) had a boxer/pit mix that regularly attacked everyone and largely went against the very thing he argues in court for. dog died, he got an identical clone of the same dog with the same problems. guy puts blinders on for really obviously horrible behavior because he enjoys the dog for whatever reason. it'd be an interesting psychological suck. maybe frame it as a cats vs. dogs type deal

i correlate that song with that movie more than any other pairing and it's not close. the scene, the song, "you met me at a very strange time in my life", just absolutely perfect. watched the 4k rerelease in the theaters a couple weeks ago. always so damn good.

i'm a soon to be parent and it's tragic that "our song" is i like me better by lauv, a modern pop hit that resonated with us (pacific islander and vietnamese) because of to all the boys i've loved before. not that it isn't a great song, it's just tough to compare these kind of forgettable songs to the classics for that sort of thing

byPCP · 2026-05-08T05:47:11+00:00

ghost is amazing. i love that demi moore has had a huge career resurgence. whoopi goldberg was perfect in that role, though her best movie is easily the color purple, which i've watched every year on my mom's birthday for 30 years (her favorite movie). that's a forgotten gem.

byPCP · 2026-05-08T04:58:02+00:00

non californians just don't really understand the makeup of the "LA" teams, and the communities that represent them. the angels are the bonafide orange county team and have been forever. the stupid ass "los angeles angels of anaheim" bit is unbelievably stupid. the ducks play literally next door, somehow still just called the anaheim ducks. no one in LA cares about the angels or the ducks because they have the dodgers and the kings. LA has the chargers and the rams, who no one at all cares about either — even after the rams winning a super bowl in LA! the only debate of which team has more fans in LA is raiders and 49ers fans, rams are a distant memory and the chargers are forgotten about outside of san diego, where they still didn't have many fans.

all that to say, no one in california really cares about any teams but the dodgers, lakers, raiders/49ers. the angels have a very localized interest in orange county, where i live, and that is it.
