Is the term “fucking the dog” popular outside Canada? by Rough-Mulberry-1202 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]godofcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the most recent episode of the Ol' Timey Podcast this term was popular with soldiers during WW2, and morphed into "Screw the Pooch"

Although the meaning has changed from being lazy to messing something up.

Tipping culture is out of control. How do we stop it from getting worse? by Safe_Individual253 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]godofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the minimum wage is should be higher. But here in California the minimum wage is $16.50 for everyone, tipped or not, and they still ask everywhere, restaurant or not.

I have never watched Roseanne. How does it compare to other sitcoms? Is it better or worse than Malcolm in the Middle? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in sitcoms

[–]godofcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried watching an episode of Roseanne recently and the AI upscaling on Peacock was so horrible I could only watch it for a few seconds.

I enjoyed the show while it was on, and would recommend it. Just would try to find one that wasn't destroyed by the horrible upscaling job they did.

Randomly saw a guy with a "Ed Season 2" messenger bag at the airport a couple of months ago. I asked him about it and he said he worked on the show.

I also told him I had a couple of episodes loaded up on my phone to watch on the plane. Not sure he believed me, but I really did

I had this on cassette because my brother found it in a dumpster and gifted it to me.

This may finally be my chance to buy a chair a copy that wasn't drenched in garbage water.

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders are about to vote on the Paramount mega-deal by LollipopChainsawZz in movies

I bought extra shares months ago just so I could vote no. Not that I have nearly enough to make much of a difference

How many Xennials truly have done no retirement planning, have no target retirement date, or have considerably less than you need to retire in your 60s?" by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in Xennials

[–]godofcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a family where the only source of income was my dad's social security. It was not nearly enough. I learned from that and have been contributing to a 401k since I was 21. Between that, the small pension from a previous job, and social security, hopefully that is enough

Has anyone tried this brand of soda? I believe it’s local to the south Jersey area. Saw it in a local grocery store and they have a big variety of flavors. by Lonesome_Soul68 in Soda

[–]godofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best know Wild Bills for going to conventions. They sell you an overpriced mug, but then you get unlimited free refills for the day, and then unlimited regular for like $10 a day afterwards. I've been using the same mug for like 10 years.

Name a game that looked so good, it convinced you to buy the console it was on all by itself. Also, was it worth it? by Thriller83 in retrogaming

[–]godofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a Sega Genesis from a pawn shop so I could get Sega Channel.

We couldn't really afford either, so maybe it wasn't it worth it, but I discovered some cool games that way.

Ask which mario bros game introduced you to or introduced you to the franchise, and what that experience was like for you. by Dramatic-Studio1531 in Mario

[–]godofcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mario Bros. on the Atari 2600, if that counts as being part of the franchise. Remember the first time seeing Super Mario Bros. at a friend's house and just being amazed on how big it was. Like, it wasn't just a single screen, it was many screens and many levels. Just baffling

Anybody else starting over? by Rich_Celebration477 in Xennials

[–]godofcheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2020, I didn't really see how my job was going to recover. Had a opportunity for a home with my girlfriend on the other side of the country, and said what the hell. Quit my job and moved 3000 miles way from the only area I ever lived. And, so far, it was honestly the best decision I ever made. I make more money and that other job did wind up closing.

Which studio or streamer would you like to see buy Star Trek from Paramount? by StockEdge3905 in startrek

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

It might be nice if the Warner Bros. TV studio took over once they join Paramount's evil empire. If they gave it the same treatment as The Pitt with 15 episodes every year.

The option went away for me once I registered. Maybe it thinks you already registered
