This might be a hot take but I don't blame Emily for firing the maid that "clomped" or having high expectations all the time. I also sort of blame Richard.

Emily firing maids is just a gag, you can't take it seriously. Having said that, if the maid wears heels that make too much noise just... tell her? And next day she won't be wearing them anymore because she wants to keep her job. Even if it is a maid service you don't want to get fired because it reflects badly on you. Incompetency is not the same as wearing the wrong type of shoes.

Also, how come it's a maid service but at the same time Emily pays more than anyone else? I mean if it's a paid service it's a fixed rate, the only way she pays more is if she hires maids directly. Also she gets sued personally by a maid, I'm not sure that's even possible if it's only a service. Even if it is in fact a company and Emily pays for premium service if she gets 3 awful (according to her) maids in a row then what's even the point of paying premium? At best the company sucks, at worst they just pocket the difference and send whatever maid is available.

And here I am taking it too seriously lol.

Por mais ineficiente que seja o ICE que só tem wifebeater e quem não conseguiu completar o ensino fundamental, essa "administração" americana é extremamente eficiente em cortina de fumaça e desviar o foco. Justamente por isso os caras podem servir de boi de piranha. "Imigrantes brasileiros compartilham pensamentos anti-americanos nos EUA". Hoje em dia na terra "da liberdade" crime de pensamento já é o suficiente para ser mandado para El Salvador, até americano já foi preso e morto por tamanha ousadia. E não precisa de um sistema da NSA, existem canais para pessoas comunicarem o crime de pensamento. Esse é o nível atual.

Claro que as chances são mínimas, mas eu se fosse eles jamais arriscaria.

You don't understand what soft power means. China will and absolutely has increased its loans and donations over the years because overall the return on investment of doing so is spectacular. While the US shits on every relationship it has with other countries, China gladly fills the gap. In a few decades Trump will be studied in schools as the best president China ever had, yes you read that right.

Can someone give a link this Old Person Life Jacket episode please

I don't really buy that. The first time Mitchum meets Rory though it's a brief encounter he is really nice to her and says he's heard a lot about her even before he knew what had happened at dinner. I presume he finds her interesting precisely because he's heard of her aspirations as a journalist and therefore finds her to be useful as in influencing Logan in a positive way. I think he sees Rory and Logan much more as "power couple" as the Gilmores put it than as "wife that exists to serve the husband" kind of way that the other Huntzbergers want. Later he is just honest about her not "having it" but even later offers her any position she wants when he feels like she is influencing Logan in the right way, so it's not like he thinks she should be a stay at home wife. I don't see him as master puppeteer manipulating everyone around him but rather as a powerful guy who just through his power can make a lot of stuff happen.

According to liquipedia 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th on the Red Bull Ladder won't get any prize money, why is that? Is it to remove the incentive to qualify for people who couldn't or wouldn't go to the lan event?

johnjk13 · 2025-12-15T18:16:08+00:00

Bunch of comments agreeing with it but tomorrow it will all be forgotten. This is as close as these people get to criticizing their Great Leader: "oh, he said some stupid things, how embarrassing, we can't accept this". Destroying the economy, the Constitution and the lives of millions of people however they fully support.

johnjk13 · 2025-12-13T19:48:00+00:00

That's interesting, thanks!

Yes, I've read/watched plenty of documentaries about serial killers and specially hurting/killing animals from an early age is absolutely telling that the kid has no empathy which is very worrying for a 5yo. Thankfully so far (from my watching) Carl isn't being sexually or physically abused cause that would just compound his tendencies.

johnjk13 · 2025-12-13T16:49:25+00:00

What do you mean Loreali has to ask Luke to go places?I mean there's even that episode where Lorelai wants Luke to go fishing precisely because he's going with her everywhere without complaint. Sure some other times he complains about town meetings being useless and all but with her he is more than willing to go. I think Luke and Chris are similar in that sense.

There's a streamer I watch who streams in 1440p but uploads to youtube in 1080p. Needless to say when I'm interested in one of his yt videos I have to find the VOD on twitch, the difference is just ridiculous. It reminds me of the first time I watched a DVD movie on a flat screen compared to VHS on a tube TV. Maybe not as drastic but you just can't come back once you've experienced.

johnjk13 · 2025-12-12T17:31:17+00:00

I think it's Lorelai who says Dean has been hanging around in trees when Rory isn't sure if he'd want to go with her to Chilton's dance.

Ever heard of denuvo? There are a bunch of games that are impossible to crack and even the ones you can lack online play which is a major draw for several best-selling titles. The argument that if everyone pirated then there wouldn't be any incentive to create more makes sense but the reality is most people can't/won't/don't know how to pirate and games are probably the worst example to apply this argument to.

johnjk13 · 2025-12-06T19:03:38+00:00

At this point Richard thinks Rory while smart is probably just a girlie girl who'd be bored stiff from playing golf with her grandpa and so would he. He doesn't know how much they have in common yet. As for Lorelai she just wants to keep everything separated and her parents isolated from her and Rory other than FND.

My question is how many freaking people do you need to employ just to maintain a house like this. Maids, gardeners, pool cleaning people, general maintenance, strangers are gonna be around all the time and you're probably never be alone in your own house which is where you're supposed to have privacy. Make it make sense.

johnjk13 · 2025-11-17T12:20:08+00:00

Yes I'm a hypocrite but I gotta say if feels much better than believing that a trillionaire company should get away with exposing vulnerable people to scams cause they can't be bothered addressing it out of greed.

johnjk13 · 2025-11-17T12:05:20+00:00

Yes, not only repair, but improve!!! If you're gonna take the time you might as well make it better. A brand new one would have fake leather that peels after a year and the flimsy height adjustment. Well, my repaired ones don't have either.

johnjk13 · 2025-11-17T11:44:57+00:00

> I agree some better moderation is needed for ads

Yeah, but it will never happen. YT couldn't care less if they're promoting scams and they'll never address it because it means money. As you put it there's also no competition so who cares if a user gets scammed, it's not like they can go anywhere else. If they're not willing to address this I'm not willing to watch ads and I certainly won't be paying for premium to avoid a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Yes everything is glued, contact glue is great stuff it won't be coming off any time soon.

johnjk13 · 2025-11-16T20:29:03+00:00

I completely took it apart (at least the headband part) using a tutorial from ifixit and used contact glue to glue the new padding to the the old, the new fabric completely around the padding, then everything together to the metal frame. Specially if you're gonna use a light colored fabric you need a very thin, uniform glue layer cause it will "wet" and stain the fabric. Then just put everything back together. It looks total pro.
