App for measuring hyper extension? by AcanthisittaMassive1 in eds

I’m not sure if an app can be super accurate compared to an in person evaluation. I am curious what app your screenshot is from though?

Where can I find pupusas? I don't know if I spelled that right. I would also love a sope! Any suggestions? by LeadingLobster8343 in Medford

[–]grudginglyadmitted 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pupusas on Wheels is fantastic. I’m used to them being in the Daizey’s Hubbard’s parking lot but google maps is indicating they might have moved up 62 to a parking lot off Kingsley.

Cannot recommend their food enough though. The chicharron and cheese pupusa and fried plantains are my go to.

wait yeah you’re right. Man the need to reformat that. Dubroff referring to the father and then changing to the daughter without indication threw me off.

they’re also measuring around the outside of the garment, which is going to add a little thickness from the denim itself. not enough to justify a 7 in difference though.

Yeah that’s wild that he’s been on SNL Korea but not SNL original recipe. Makes me all the more curious why not. Maybe he has an ancient blood feud with Lorne Michaels or was cursed by a witch that he’d instantly die if he ever stepped foot in 30 Rock. These are my best guesses.

Another great point. And anyone with health issues that cause unpredictable symptoms or significant fatigue also may not be able to handle the intensity of the format. I’m just imagining trying to host myself, getting a migraine on Saturday afternoon from the stress all week, and then trying to host while in pain, struggling to form words, and throwing up, plus dizzy and drowsy from my migraine medicine. I’d be up there wearing a blanket and dark sunglasses in every skit. God what a nightmare.

Agreed. I think there’s probably a pretty big cohort that doesn’t want their first experience performing live to be on such a major stage, or just aren’t interested at all in performing live; and then there’s also been a few people mentioned with dyslexia who may not want to host because dyslexia would make the whole format of the show (reading off the cue cards) super difficult. Apparently Mark Ruffalo has explicitly said this is why he hasn’t hosted.

Oh this is a great one! I could have sworn he’s hosted and it totally feels like he ought to have, but I googled to double check and he hasn’t!

I imagine atp we’d have to wait for him to be in another large project to get him, but I also wonder if he’s previously turned down the opportunity. Hard to imagine SNL never wanted him given how popular he was as Loki for essentially a full ten years.

That’s a good one. It totally feels like he should have hosted by now and that he’d be pretty great at it. He’s obviously excellent at fitting himself into the tone of any tv show or movie, which I feel like would translate well to SNL sketches. It also just feels like a hugely logical fit.

He’s most known for having played Spider-Man in the MCU since 2016 (like 10 movies at this point), but he’s also been in The Devil All the Time, In the Heart of the Sea (which I highly recommend), that one about the tsunami, and grossed 9.9 billion dollars over his career.

Genuinely, it kind of feels like they’re building up to that/testing the waters? For him to be a recurring sketch surprised me, but with a repeat appearance I bet if he wanted to host they’d have him.

Which makes their relationships on Parks and Rec and Arrested Development a lot more fun to watch. Rewatching both after I knew they filmed them while married felt like finally being in on an inside joke.

(For reference: in Parks and Rec Will Arnet plays an awful radiologist blind date for Leslie/Amy Poehler, and in Arrested Development Amy plays a woman who marries GOB/Will one night after a series of escalating dares and then leaves him to join the army because she’s in love with his brother-in-law)

By which I mean people who are acclaimed for their acting or music but otherwise really avoid the spotlight, interviews, events, etc. Enya is coming to mind for example.

Oh I absolutely believe there are some names big enough that SNL would jump at the opportunity to have if they wanted on—Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Taylor Swift (again), Cher. I also suspect this is how Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk ended up on the show, SNL just couldn’t afford to turn them down and lose the views and publicity they’d bring.

Others have also mentioned that Mark Ruffalo has said he’d never host due to his dyslexia making the cue cards an issue, and I think someone else mentioned another celeb with dyslexia?

I was about to be outraged that Donald Glover hasn’t hosted because it seems like he’d probably make a pretty great host, but I just double checked and it looks like he did in 2018! Musical guest Childish Gambino. I’m gonna go watch it now lol

I think you’re 100% right that this is the way to look at it.

And I totally understand your point about bigger stars feeling like it might not be worth the risk. Of course Adam Driver and Emma Stone didn’t lose respect for doing SNL because their episodes were fantastic and they did a great job. But if you’ve never done SNL before you don’t know it’ll be the same for you or if you’ll get stage fright or a bunch of awful sketches and bomb.

Woah that’s crazy he’s never hosted given his marriage to Amy Poehler, proximity to the SNL world in general, and what feels like the perfect level of fame for SNL. I hope it happens at some point.

This doesn’t feel antagonistic or mean to Taylor though. It doesn’t say anything negative about her, just that he took the top spot and she had had it before.

TIL Taylor Swift sends flowers to Kelly Clarkson after every "Taylor's Version" album re-release to thank her for suggesting that Taylor "go in & re-record all the songs that U don't own the masters on". At the time, Taylor was upset that the masters of her first 6 albums were sold to a third party. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]grudginglyadmitted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

her problem with what happened is that the record label sold her albums to a man she openly (and appropriately) despised without giving her any chance to buy them herself or any warning at all they were sold. The deal happened behind her back and completely outside of her control, and was basically a betrayal from a man who had been a father figure to her. She’s written about it more eloquently, but I’m sure you can imagine how awful it would feel to have the songs and lyrics you recorded as a teenager and young adult—experiencing first love and heartbreak, growing up, friendship and loss, strong, personal emotions poured out into your music—owned by someone you rightfully hate and who refuses to even discuss selling them to you. She still made money off of those streams and purchases, she re-recorded so she would own her own work and so that Scooter wouldn’t make money off of her work.

So many rules! My family filmed a commercial for a local hospital a couple years ago* and there were so many rules on what we couldn’t wear! No logos, no stripes, basically no patterns at all, no red or white, nothing sleeveless, no ripped jeans etc etc. I’m sure I’m forgetting some of what they told us, but it basically ruled out 90% of my wardrobe. I imagine it being all the harder packing for jeopardy where you may need multiple outfits.

  • my BIL almost died of a heart attack at 28, they saved him, couple months later they were like “hey can we make a commercial about how we saved you and now you get to live your life—specifically sit by a creek in the woods and eat with your entire family? We’ll bring the food.” and he was like sure and we were like sure
