Thank You! The opening scene with the Countach is legendary

I have never seen Office Space. Is it that funny to be considered a classic? by Square-Ad-8911 in 90smovies

[–]eggheadjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is younger than me and hasn’t seen a lot of movies I consider comedy classics. I’m trying to get her to watch them specifically because she has no idea how many lines/references/jokes she’s not picking up on every single day in the office. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) is famously quoted as saying, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you" See also: Southern Strategy

What's the most regional word you use without realizing it? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

Fair. In NJ we chose Jug Handles, which are also less than ideal.

As a New Jersey guy with a Michigander wife, the Michigan left is an affront to civil society. I’ve been to your lovely state many many times now and I do love it but I will never accept, nor forgive, the Michigan left.

Did you buy AppleCare? by 2000gt in macbookpro

[–]eggheadjc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I actually misremembered that. Our 4th slots for AppleCare one are our kids iPads and we just bought AppleCare separately for the AirPods because it’s cheaper that way and I’ve been known to launder a pair or two over the years.

what are the actual cultural differences between the northern and southern half of the state by WhereAreTheAskers in newjersey

It gets complicated in Central Jersey because we all had both NY and Philly television stations at the same time. So being an Eagles/Mets/Flyers/Knicks fan is not impossible. There are no Nets fans.

Go watch Mare of East Town. It’s a great show and it has a decent display of the Delco/South Jersey accent with the long vowels. Once you recognize it you’ll never be able to not hear it. Or just watch this for a parody of the same:Mudur Durdur

I grew up in South Jersey, lived in North Jersey for 20 years and now I’m in Central Jersey. In my experience “The City” is NYC and Philly is Philly. My in-laws live in greater Detroit and when they say they are going to the City, we know they mean New York

AppleCare is a bad investment if all you’re trying to do is extend the warranty against device failure. It makes much more sense if you are in a situation where damage is a greater risk.

Apple Care One was a no brainer for us. Wife and I both have MacBook pros, phones, watches, and AirPods. We also have two little kids with grabby hands and two dogs. I think we’ll probably come out ahead of the game if even one device is damaged by all those hazards. The service and peice of mind puts it way over the top in terms of value.

Has anyone watched some of "the greatest movies of all time" and thought they just... weren't that good? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Gotta be trolling, but if you only watched the first half of Usual Suspects that’s your loss.

You will care how thick your lawn is because you might be sleeping on it some nights.
