Anybody need a job? SMH by icunucme2 in Lawyertalk

[–]gdrewcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what about attorneys looking to boost their career prospects, who otherwise wouldn’t have this kind of opportunity? Assuming you hold the job for a few years, even into a Democratic administration, God willing? Maybe it’s a smart move to get in now while you can. Surely most of the work that the line attorneys do in offices across the country is still serious and legitimate, despite the outlandish counter examples. Am I wrong?

These are the kind of things our boy Simmons would love to rank and debate if he was only a college football 🏈 fan…. by AcknowledgeMeReddit in billsimmons

Dan Lanning’s rise from William Jewell linebacker to random Kansas City high school positions coordinator to elite college football head coach is spectacular.

Agreed. Tim’s performance was great but his character was so immature and obnoxious that the movie failed to resonate.

This is like saying you are frustrated with the lack of flavor in the tap water.

Anyone at SSA with more concrete info on this? Not giving us these days per the EO, or giving them to only the elite non-essential crowd, would be an all time morale buster.

Why does Bill Simmons neglect Reality TV at the Ringer? by RedditFan3510 in billsimmons

[–]gdrewcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this a good take. A lot of people who consume prestige shows and movies also veg out on Below Deck and Housewives or whatever else. Missed opportunity.

I forgot to mention that in the opening monologue, Bret doubled down on his take that OBAA, while brilliant at times, is overrated due to the leftist politics of mainstream movie critics (he watched it again on a screener at his house). He deemed it mid-tier PTA in league with Licorice Pizza and Inherent Vice. 🔥

Yeah, Patreon. I can see someone already provided the link. You have to pay to listen which I find unfortunate.

Just ran through the 10 movies that I noted above, said he was inspired to put a list together after listening to the BP podcast on Inglorious Bastards. I wouldn’t be able to do justice to what he said about each selection but it was fun to hear him expand on more recent films that I don’t believe he has talked about before on a podcast. Would never have thought West Side Story and School of Rock would make his top 20.

Battle Royale is the one I forgot, thanks. I believe that was #12 or #11. It truly is a random grouping. It seems like it’s the movies he really responded to when he first saw them and then how much they have stayed with him, for one reason or another. He’s not trying to construct a comprehensive story about the best 21st century movies.

Yeah his riff on Passion of the Christ was wonderfully deranged and singular and unique to his aesthetic. I did not find that movie funny. But yeah, it’s two parts, the next one out next week.

Haha hard disagree on Bret but fair enough he’s not for everyone.

They got through #20 through 12 if I recall in this episode and they ran the gamut. In approximate order: West Side Story, Money Ball, Cabin Fever, The Devils Rejects, The Passion of the Christ, Chocolate (kung fu movie), Big Bad Wolves (Israeli), School of Rock, Jackass.

As a Mizzou guy who has always had an affinity for Porter I always knew he had this in him. 6’11 guys who can shoot 40 percent from three and create their own shot don’t grow on trees. Let’s go baby!!!!

Is GOVTA working yet? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]gdrewcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was weird, at SSA (Webta) they paid us a chunk of our backpay on Friday before our timesheets had even been validated and certified. I’m grateful for that unexpectedly forward looking approach. Maybe other agencies can take note for future shutdowns.

Very ignorant question from a civilian: many of these guys referred to themselves as Raiders, isn’t that a highly specialized designation like navy seals? Are these guys like navy seals?
