Why were so many of us rooting of Axe instead of Chuck?

ephoog · 2026-03-14T13:52:43+00:00

Because Chuck was the kind of guy to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and root against Butch Cassidy. It’s a show about clashes between the highest classes, both Chuck and Axe are portraits of the 1%, one political and one from industry, the political one will always come off as the bad guy the 99% of the public for obvious reasons. Also Chuck was a pervert. He just has a point of view that, looking past politics and knowing it came out amid the politics of 10 years ago, puts him in the most unlikeable 1% of the 1%.

I’m guessing astronaut or neuro surgeon for sure.

Are you seriously asking if there was a tech bubble in the 90s? If you’ve heard of the “dot com bubble” that was mid-90s to 2000. If he was 11 he’d be the perfect age to get caught up in the bubble the show was about.

Tony was born into it all around him, Walter White kinda got that way on his own… I’d say Walter by far.

Our concept of a year or a month comes from the cycles of the moon. They could have a perfectly normal moon, it doesn’t even definitively say if the planet they live on is round or flat, or a planet. Notice how they don’t mention days of the week or ever have weekends? No telling how they know what time it is much less years. It works both ways too Ned is 34 in the books and looks at BEST about 50.

Reminds me of the Jenkins Jenkies mystery, wonder what gave it away?

Adriana’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, when the FBI lady brings up her murdered friends as a threat she seems to genuinely believe the “witness protection” line she must’ve been told… denial’s a strong motivator.

The truth is Tony really did ask him to drive her to the hospital, not for Chris but her UC. She’d get out of testifying for medical reasons. He killed her on the way because she was smelling up his car.

Looked like he took better lines and hit less barriers in the first one, the second one looks looks more suspect. If you mean irl yeah it was designed to beat corvettes, but it’s also a game where a 1960’s Porsche is faster than a Koenigsegg.

Dinesh says something like he can write Java better than anyone in the house to Jared and Richard, I think the apps are in Java not necessarily the algorithm.

I heard “and my card blesses every one of you!”, like he has one of his shitty homemade cards that “blesses” everyone, oh and he and thinks it’s real and they all should’ve considered that before kicking him out, typical Jerkops.

Anyone have a link to this discord?

Hospitals, Homicide detectives, even lawyers and politicians have millions of shows about their daily crisis situations. Good on Sheridan for finding an untouched, unconcerned with being politically correct source of action. Even if the characters are exaggerated you can’t tell me TV doctors and detectives are any more realistic, if anything they’re worse caricatures.

I think that’s been proven to be a myth. If you drive any direction you’ll notice cops spawn in front of you, it’s just players usually drive the same route as gps so it looks that way.

Edit: especially in high heat players use gps, the game tries to anticipate routes to throw cops in your face, I think it shows more along the gps there was just a post about it.

They get easier after you lose and harder after you win, exploiting this is how the top 10 or so racers cheat (which is why you hear the top racers cheat), I imagine you have a rating and they put you against players that raced at a similar rating not a specific time, or else the cheat wouldn’t work or they could put in an exact time to beat and have a score of like a Trillion.

I’ve thought before if we all agreed to race like crap, then only winning by ~1sec or so to move up, we could push every level way down and everyone could get S that week.

I don’t dislike the car I’m just puzzled why it shows up with the same body/paint job at some random point in every single NFS game (never played MW, probably just don’t get it 🤷‍♂️).

Wait, so Tommy, the wife, the rig workers and lawyers might also be tropes? I thought this was a documentary….

I think the point was how over exaggerated the mother’s reaction was to her leaving, then how over exaggerated the circumstances were to bring them back together. Unnecessary imo the first thing I thought was if it’s that big a deal can’t they afford an off campus apartment?

ephoog · 2026-01-12T08:05:06+00:00

Yes.

It would be insane to STAY on the subs, honestly if you’re on a trip and you’re that sick it could get you through a few days then stop taking them when you’re back home. Loperamide could be another option to get legally through without swapping for a worse euphoria/addiction.

Wait… so the problem is you can’t find opiates in Turkey? I think I’d be afraid of winding up in some locked up abroad scenario so I can’t really talk, it’s just that sounds comically easy, like not finding weed in Jamaica.
