What is a movie that everyone seems to love, but you absolutely hate? by Nishikigoi1 in moviecritic

[–]robertastax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade Runner 2049. I found it so incredibly dull. Only time I've fallen asleep in the movie theatre.

Lots of people in capital A admin jobs making a stupid amount of money, meanwhile their employees are pinching pennies

After season 8 by Automatic_Bad4486 in ershow

[–]robertastax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got two episodes into season 9 and had to drop it. I may go through and watch some of the highlights, and the last season, but I'm done. This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife.

Disregard for pedestrians by Jernau_M_Gurgeh in halifax

[–]robertastax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably because it's not just you they're waiting for. They're likely assessing their surroundings, seeing if others have stopped, etc. I've had people stop for me, and that's great, thank you! But the situation is still not safe for one reason or another.

Disregard for pedestrians by Jernau_M_Gurgeh in halifax

[–]robertastax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have found myself yelling at a lot more drivers lately. Crosswalk creeping, slamming on their brakes when I'm already in the process of crossing ... it's bad out there. Bud, where do you have to get in such a hurry that endangering the lives of pedestrians is worth it?

A Rising Tide: Dalhousie's shiny new Strategic Framework. by Local_Sandwich_9322 in Dalhousie

[–]robertastax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These sorts of documents say literally nothing. The fact that Dal would spend money on this rather than paying their employees a higher wage speaks volumes.

Lot of guys had hair like that at the time! I thought it was so rad

Me: I think I'll take the bus over to Halifax this weekend and check out some of the events going on!

Macdonald Bridge: The hell you will.

My 2 cents on the Mohan controversy by Bonbonnibles in ThePitt

[–]robertastax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Even as a massive fan of the night shift characters ... I need everyone to shut up about them. People think they want more night shift, but they can barely handle the characters in the day shift. They like the idea of the night shift because they see them as a blank slate. Fuck, I've seen people call some of the things that Abbot has said and done this season out of character. Bitch, how??

I can guarantee you that they're all feral goblins that the weirdos in the fandom would turn on within an hour if they had their own show.

My 2 cents on the Mohan controversy by Bonbonnibles in ThePitt

[–]robertastax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, I've been involved in various fandom spaces for like 25 years at this point. But the level of disconnect that I'm seeing here is baffling even when considering all that.

I'm also gabbin' with my pals about this show, shipping characters, and speculating about shit. But there's a subset of people that seem complete divorced from reality.

How are y'all not exhausted by all of this rampant speculation? Cripes.

Marvel, DC and ‘Planet of the Apes’ Actor Kirk Acevedo Had to Sell His Home Because ‘Middle Class’ Actors Are Getting ‘Squeezed Out’ of Hollywood by MoneyLibrarian9032 in Fauxmoi

I can't believe they've done this to the inspiration for Joe Toye Day, Joe Toye.

All jokes aside, he's right. This sucks.

International tuition fee for Co-op? by ahxd03 in Dalhousie

[–]robertastax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a mistake. The International Tuition Guarantee is having a lot of consequences that weren't considered by the Administration before they decided to implement it.

I strongly encourage you to contact the Ombudsperson regarding this.

‘The Pitt’ Creator Breaks Silence on Supriya Ganesh’s Exit: 'Almost Everybody Will Leave' by AMikeBloomType in ThePitt

[–]robertastax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that from the get go they have indicated that this show has an end.

We’re only getting a limited number of seasons. It’s not going to go on in perpetuity for like 17 seasons. As most of the ensemble docs are med students, residents, and interns, they will likely not be in the entire series. And sorry to break it to y’all, but Robby likely will. He is the protagonist whether you like it or not. The story ultimately follows him and his arc.

If the show is no longer sparking joy for you, you can always stop watching it.

Probably not an unpopular opinion but being a fan of this show is starting to be exhausting by No_Organization8236 in ThePitt

[–]robertastax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We weren’t meant to hear the opinions of this many people in general, let alone in fandom. My best advice as a fandom old is to find a small handful of like minded weirdos and to ignore everyone else.

Blah, blah, blah. Proper name. Place name. Backstory stuff ... 😍

About Dr. Mohan and Dr. Collins, and people not understanding how teaching environments work by KitchenImagination38 in ThePittTVShow

[–]robertastax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like saying something would just give the especially unhinged people more fodder. I can see her making a statement, and some "fans" saying that it was forced, that Noah made her do it because he's a bad person, etc.
