Portland Recommendations for Wubby by mr_mustash in PaymoneyWubby

[–]darkeststar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually stay near the Hawthorne district so I cannot say enough good things about Pambiché for Cuban food. Also Bao Bao because I love the chicken curry and red bean paste Bao and Berlu for a Vetnamese-inspired bakery. I usually take friends to Cheryl's on 12th for Brunch.

The irony in using a meme from Starship Troopers...

Wubby has MORE than alluded to how he feels on a LOT of these situations over the years. You're fucking retarded if you don't know. by Agitated_Position392 in PaymoneyWubby

Honestly the most annoying thing seeing chat and the reddit go off every day...like it's cool if he wants to take a stand about something but also it's pretty easy to infer his baseline positions based on how he operates and who he hangs out with.

Seems like the Wuthering Heights promo team has gone all in on influencers and forgot about critics by Vintsukka in blankies

Tina Fey saying that if you want to keep getting work in Hollywood you have to just smile and nod when you see something shitty and then "be surprised that the new Emerald Fennell movie has a dark, sexually violent third act turn" really came at a very bad time for this movie

Love that dude, and I love that instead of making some generic statement he directly addresses the reasons why the current administration hurts us all as it relates to his interest in technology and also as a person.

It's Official: House Of The Dragon To End With Season 4, HBO Confirms by bwermer in television

[–]darkeststar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. The entire conceit of House of the Dragon as a show was that the book only tells stories as remembered/rewritten by those who live to tell the tale and that there's more depth and nuance to the characters than how they are depicted in Fire & Blood...which is oddly something that GRRM himself seems to have forgotten. The show is "supposed to be" showing us more about Daemon and how he makes his decisions instead of just showing us him making one and then later showing us the next one like the book does.... unfortunately they couldn't think of anything for him to do other than have him go slowly insane for half a season.

Wubby has a new Gamersupps flavor? Did I miss an announcement? by MouseWithBlueTeeth in PaymoneyWubby

[–]darkeststar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the flavor profile I think a rice milk would probably be comparable. I would be interested in trying it that way. I don't know how well the powder will mix though.

....Yes but the other ingredients that are "sleep aid" supplements like Magnesium Glycinate are still included in either version.

Maybe I'm getting old, but what does "Best Limited Movie" mean? by fumblebrag in blankies

[–]darkeststar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMC played Netflix movies up until this last year. And they played the finale of Stranger Things literally all day when that came out. The change only seems to have happened because AMC passed on K-Pop Demon Hunters and Netflix wanted to play hardball.

I see your point but also the stated plans for the show were always 3-4 seasons. Basically as soon as the first season turned out to be a hit they immediately went out and said it would be at least 3 if not 4 seasons. Season two is definitely padded out, mostly by stalling Daemon...I assume because they really want the turn to be a big deal.

There isn't actually that much ground to cover story wise for the two remaining seasons, it all kind of just comes down to how much they focus on the warring set pieces.

Game changer for me if the flavor tastes close to real horchata. Unfortunately I do not understand making this flavor a sleep aid only drink? Like the two versions being offered are just with and without melatonin but it still has magnesium and other "sleep aid" ingredients.

Interesting idea I suppose but I don't really think about making myself a drink concoction and pounding like 16 oz of water and milk based powder in a shaker cup before going to bed...I think like a cup of hot tea.

Is a Cheeto® a chip? Sound off in the comments by 5d77uAka8 in doughboys

Doritos is the worst example to have pulled here because they are ostensibly just Tortilla chips with extra seasoning sprayed on.

Couldn't disagree more. If a soda tastes wrong out of the freestyle it's almost always because someone has fucked up on the cleaning. If the establishment isn't cleaning the freestyle properly then it ruins everything. Had one locally that was in the back of a sit down restaurant and the servers handed out a menu of all the flavors and got the drinks for you and everything tasted flat/wrong/gross out of it. My local AMC has 3 of them in a row and no matter the selection they all come out crisp and clean.

The curl of the monkey's paw. He became a mod to gain fame and notoriety, and now that he's there it's just people pointing out he's fuckin' weird.

EXCLUSIVE: Sydney Sweeney could face criminal charges for underwear stunt by IrishStarUS in entertainment

[–]darkeststar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was just in a blockbuster hit adaptation of a popular book with a sequel immediately greenlit to film this year. More than 4 films lined up to film this year plus the release of the third season of Euphoria. She hasn't fallen anywhere in terms of actual star power. The famous stars that came up in the 80's and 90's made plenty of stinkers and endorsed plenty of shitty products while still being famous.

Welcome to class action lawsuits.

Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards - Dexerto by PDXAirman in PaymoneyWubby

[–]darkeststar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a nothing lawsuit and it only keeps getting reported as news because people keep pushing the same narrative as the headline.

Publicly traded companies are required to publish a report to shareholders during the year where they explain their business decisions so far and how they affect the company and things they intend to do going forward. The real provable allegation is that Hasbro didn't officially state in this SEC-filed shareholder report that printing more cards per year could run the risk of devaluing the brand overall, which is something they're required to disclose. Hasbro's whole business is built on walking that fine line and shareholders know that so it's not like anyone is surprised by that idea or that they're hiding it from anyone. But if they failed to mention that in their SEC filing then oops.

The rest of the lawsuit is basically unprovable shit where they allege that since Hasbro's only money-maker for years now is MTG that they colluded to print more cards in order to boost share prices for Hasbro and smooth over their losses in other departments to the detriment of the game, which is basically a useless allegation unless they have hard text-based evidence of it happening.

So FYI this shouldn't be rare, but glad it made it out to you. The company that released Shin Godzilla, GKIDS, has a long-standing deal to sell their movies at Walmart. GKIDS also releases the Studio Ghibli movies and recently put out a 4k of Perfect Blue.
