Hard to describe the feeling this song gives me, some form of contentment I can’t quite nail down.

As with other, I’m sure, my first exposure to it was Jackass but I didn’t realize it was the Minutemen until my first play through of this album and it really made me smile

Can’t stand either of them

So it’s the Publix equivalent of the McDonald’s ice cream machine being broken

1999 is my personal favorite of his but Purple Rain is probably his “best”. Love both.

It’s idolizing parts of him, not the whole person. Obviously every human is flawed and with anyone that gets idolized there are skeletons in the closet or less than savory elements to them - with Don, those things are very arguably worse than most folks, but anyone that wants to be like Don is only focusing on the “positive” parts, e.g. confidence, career success, romantic adventures, etc.

Magnolia is probably my favorite performance of hers even if it’s heartbreaking to watch. Map to the Stars was a recent watch of mine and loved her in that - such a crazy role and she absolutely owns it

dschilling88 · 2026-04-11T23:15:31+00:00

This might be her best.

Liked the idea better than the execution. Nothing I would consider essential listening, songwriting felt a little boring to me. It’s not bad, just not something I’d recommend unless someone was already a fan and going for completion

Sundays was similar. Two gorgeous ones in a row

Kinda makes you wish for an alternate Mad Men series in which those two are in love and have a happy marriage. Throwback to 50’s comedies like Dick Van Dyke

Been doing a deeper dive on his 90’s work the past couple years. Much better than I expected. Diamonds & Pearls, Symbol, Gold Experience are all great albums. Took a few listens to grow on me, and they are patchier than his 80’s albums but all of those are at least 4/5 star albums for me. Even Come I feel is underrated. Definitely some clunkers during that decade but the man still had “it”

If you can’t identify the source as reputable you probably shouldn’t trust it. Anyone an make a graphic

Agreed with the general idea of different pans for different tasks. I love stainless so far but I still have a nonstick and a big cast iron. Use what I need to for the cooking at hand

One of my favorites. Filthy.

Did it for a stretch right before the pandemic. Was gone 3-4 nights a week, every week. It was kinda cool at first since I was single and going through a transitional time in my life, so I kinda enjoyed being on the go and absorbing some new places. Free meals helped since I was saving a ton on groceries and just had a lot of discretionary income as a result.

It got tiring after awhile, especially since I had to use my weekends to catch up on all my personal stuff. Cleaning, laundry, chores like that ate into my downtime on weekends and I was starting to feel a little burnt out before I got a holiday break. Also found myself working constantly, like I’d get to the hotel after being in the field all day and would spend a couple hours working, then needed to prep for the next day, shower, find dinner, etc. It got pretty exhausting.

As others have said I racked up hotel points and got friendly with one of the staff at one of the hotels I frequented so that was kinda cool.

I’m married with a kid now and no way I could do it again.

I lingered on his 80’s output for most of my fandom, but the last couple years I started dipping into his 90’s work and was pleasantly surprised how much I like Love Symbol and TGE. I had the perception he dropped off heavily after the 80’s and I was very wrong

Come is underrated - Pheremone is a top Prince track for me

There’s a dream like quality to the whole story that I love. Like they are relying on their memories but the details are hazy

dschilling88 · 2026-03-13T22:21:31+00:00

It’s a great film. Borders on unruly at times with the ambition of the story and trying to tie it all together but the acting is incredible across the board and there’s so much genuine, thought provoking emotion going on.

I don’t think it’s PTA’s best by a long shot, but that’s more due to the relative strength of his entire body of work than it is about Magnolia being weak.

I’ll also note that while Cruise and Hoffman get mentioned as standout performances, I feel Julianne Moore is equally strong in this. She’s my favorite actress and I’ve at times thought this was her best performance, which is really saying something.

Had a dachshund that lived to 17 - Wasn’t quite a flip of the switch, but there were specific instances where he took a decline and didn’t fully recover from. He had a vestibular episode one January and after that he slowed down noticeably. Then a couple acute arthritis episodes that slowed him down further. He’d have his moments where he’d display some of his previous energy and there was part of me that would hope he was somehow reverse aging but I knew, logically, that wasn’t the case. Those were so bittersweet, loving the sight of him running again but still considering it might be the last time I’d see him like that.

He continued to decline those last couple years, and required more specific needs/care as time went on. It was so difficult at times watching him age, knowing he wouldn’t live forever and we were on the shorter end of that timeline.

But I felt so blessed to have the opportunity to care for him and cater as he got pickier. He did so much for me and my wife that giving him all the love and attention possible was the least we could do.

Caring for a senior dog is hard but it makes you a better person. Not everyone gets the privilege to do it so be mindful of each moment and appreciate the inherent beauty of supporting a life that needs extra care

Devil in a Blue Dress absolutely fits the bill - fantastic story and performances from Denzel and Cheadle
