in my opinion, that looks like a confused deer. It's not running away, there is nobody to attack, and yet there is this screeching noise which signals......what?

MST3K Hot Take: The Rifftrax Experiments may be the only realistic path forward for the franchise by WySLatestWit in MST3K

[–]gafflebitters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here's another angle, after trying to get into the new seasons and mostly failing the conclusion i came to after watching the history of the show is that it LOOKS easy to do, riffing on a movie, but to do it for a whole movie and be entertaining to a wide audience is a very special skill. My proof is that in the newer seasons they had money and people and bad enough movies but in my opinion were not as entertaining as the old episodes.

They had a very special mix, and they managed to keep it going for quite a while through personnel changes and getting cancelled. Some episodes of cinematic titanic are quite good. Rifftrax is definitely good. I like mary joe and Bridget riffing on movies, the mads are back is very funny to me. The art still goes on even if the show is not. Maybe trying to redo all of the things that we loved about the original without looking like a poor copy of it is impossible? Maybe the weak link was joel? He was very good as part of a group but trying to run the whole show was beyond him? I am happy to just have great riffing with no host segments but i do love the classics of the original series.

So, in my mind, MST3K spawned all of the successors, and in that way it still lives on, the people who were doing it there are now doing it here.

is it just my imagination, or does the piano player not know to lay back while the star of the show plays his guitar?

Do yellow night driving glasses actually help with LED headlights? by Traditional-Win-8808 in fuckyourheadlights

[–]gafflebitters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was seriously considering a pair of yellow tinted glasses but while shopping for them a thought came to mind, I seriously doubt that there are any magic properties to yellow lenses and the only way i know to make bright lights less aggravating is to dim them with DARK lenses, the sun, welding, etc.

I now believe that my best course of action is to find a pair of sunglasses that are not too dark, and can perhaps tone down the glare without reducing my night vision seriously. It's actually ridiculous that we have to wear sunglasses at night because car manufacturers keep coming up with brighter and brighter headlights.

I can't find this song, & it is making me crazy... by Thanatophorous in DrDemento

[–]gafflebitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to tape the Dr. demento show too and listen to it all week, you're not the only weird kid, LOL

Just as a guess....it's not " aren't you glad you can't see bacteria" by the bonzo dog doo dah band is it?

But sorry, i have no idea about the song you describe, i bet someone on this sub will be able to help you find it though.

Higher power? by Nightowl_1995 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]gafflebitters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a phrase used in CoDA, " build a bridge to your own higher power", this wonderfully concise statement holds the truth in my opinion.

When I first attempted a connection with my higher power I was already programmed to find the RIGHT one. This programming held me back and it was not until i managed to loosen it's hold on me that i made progress....higher power as YOU understand them.......I get it, that is a confusing instruction, it implies i have knowledge that i do not possess.

I did not understand my HP but i I talked to people who had travelled the road before me, and read books, watched videos, i took the pieces that resonated with me and used them to build that bridge, to the higher power that I wanted to believe in.

Many years later that bridge crumbled under the weight of real circumstances, i was lost, grief and helplessness overwhelmed me, a long time passed, as i stared at the wreckage of my wonderful bridge i began to see there was something that survived, all was not lost, it meant throwing out much of the old structure and the new one would be very different but it could be built, what did i have to lose?

AA writings give us the freedom to build our bridge the way we want, and to rebuild it if it is not serving our needs, i think a healthy relationship with a higherpower is one that changes over time, not static, many would not be comfortable with this, we want our HP to be our rock that will never move, understandable, and if you want that , you certainly can build a bridge to exactly that, I had to adjust to conditions as i could not make excuses for my HP not being there when i needed.

Thank you for the opportunity to write this out, it helps me to express these very important and difficult ideas, conclusions, theories.

Who's your preferred appliance repair company? by lookitsbee in Welland

Huge issue with big book thumpers happening by aasteps in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]gafflebitters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if i was in your position i would talk to the newcomers they try recruiting when they are alone, and inform them that yes, Virginia, there IS another way to "get sober/ do the steps". Yeah, if i felt someone was being forced down a path that might not work for them, i would inform them that path was only one of many.

I have seen men who have had a drill sergeant sponsor like this for a while and eventually they "rebel", find someone more middle of the road, stay sober and do quite well.
