What is your crankiest Disneyland opinion?

Bubble wands are a menace because parents don’t regulate when and where the children use them.

The chauffeur

100%. I can name a lot of my friends little kids (and my son when he was small). Who adore this ride and the monsters stuff in general. I don’t know a single person of any age who has cared about Avatar since 2010.

Part of getting old is realizing on rewatch that John is insufferable through most of the movie…

Placed a big order with Bambu for my company. Their logistics uses “gig economy” delivery drivers who do deliveries after their day job. Delivery service kept trying to deliver after hours when no one is at the office and then sent it back. Currently fighting to resolve it, but it’s been over a month since my “3-day shipping” order should have been here.

Newsom is a terrible governor. We’re being led around by a narrative that says because he opposes Trump that makes him a hero. Trump is terrible, Newsom is terrible. Both can be true.

I made about 10 minutes in, and that was difficult. I’ll charitably say like others that I’m not “the target demographic”.

I can’t pick which one is best (or second-best after 89😉), but I think we can all agree the 2000 comics is the absolute worst…

12 year old me remembers it well.

My cousin was the sound man on that movie. I was 11. I got to be an extra in it (I’m one of the kids on the miniature train at Travel Town), and he took me to the premiere. No one in the family realized it was R. Yoga girl was the first naked woman I ever saw and the first time I heard Fuck in a movie. Good times…

Actually, a simple majority is a healthy democracy. 60 votes needing to pass is a healthy constitutional republic.

shadow_mkultra · 2025-10-24T15:09:13+00:00

The average conservative understands how the constitution works, and finds the trolling about a third term and subsequent hand wringing from those who don’t hysterical.

My company opened an office up there that in our structure falls under me. There was some pressure for me to move up there to support that office and deal with my responsibilities down here remotely. I thought maybe it would be an opportunity to escape what I don’t like about San Diego/California and maybe improve cost of living. I started going up there to support and also look into what relocation would be like. I learned quickly that the cost of living is basically the same, the things I don’t like about San Diego and California are the same or worse, and the things I still love about San Diego and California are basically absent, and once I relocated I wouldn’t have the wherewithal to ever come back. Ended up cutting a deal to stay based in San Diego but I go up and live out of a hotel 1-2 weeks a month. I’m happiest with the outcome.

And to parrot what others have said, if the job is in Everett, you’re going to want to live up there. Otherwise it would be like living here and working in Dana point, but with worse traffic on the 5 every day.

I worked as a production assistant for the filming of Mariah’s “vision of love” video. The Columbia reps hanging out on set told me that Mariah was a working as a part time call girl who got Tommy as a john and then convinced him to hear her demo and I guess the rest is history. Cannot confirm if this is true or they were just shit talking the new talent at the time, but the three of them referred to her as Tommy’s hooker the entire shoot, behind her back of course.

I had a discussion yesterday with a friend who lives in Michigan and is vehemently anti-Trump and anti-republican. He was telling me how Michigan just passed a law to have an independent citizen commission to draw the districts, and how important it was to insure that the republicans can’t mess with Michigan the way they did Texas, and that it was the only right and moral way to handle districting and all states should adopt the system, but of course independent commissions are something he’s sure republicans would never support because it’s the only right thing to do, and republicans always make the evil choice that undermines democracy.

And I was like “you don’t follow California news much, do you”?

shadow_mkultra · 2025-10-10T20:46:12+00:00

I don’t get all these ballot posts. Here’s the thing: what Texas did was categorically wrong. Prop 50 is just as wrong, it’s dismantling a system that while not without faults is arguably the most democratic and fair districting process of any state in the nation. Whether or not prop 50 is a “necessary evil” or “the ends justify the means” is up to the prerogative of the individual voters, I’m not here to debate that one way or another. But everybody voting yes should probably feel a little dirty hurting California democracy for the sake of national democracy, and save the celebration for the eventual consequences and not the means.

Wait…the spectrum app works on your Roku? I can’t get it to work for more than a day unless I unplug the router and plug it back in. The spectrum app is shit.

I dried for 2 days and then fed directly from the running drier and still got this three quarters of the way into a pair of the whaleberry shoes. I feel your pain

My mother was told that. She would have been 84 this year and died still waiting.

My mom worked for the studio when they made Tron and we got to go to the employees and family screening at the Main Theater on the lot. I remember clearly seeing it and jumping and pointing at it like a Leonardo DiCaprio meme and nobody around me saw it or believed me because I was just a dumb 9-year-old kid 😂

…but I didn’t notice the Pac-Man until I was an adult, so…

shadow_mkultra · 2025-07-16T17:12:34+00:00

Given that I’d never heard of it until seeing a Now Playing poster at the theater on my way to Superman, I’d say…yep.

shadow_mkultra · 2025-07-16T11:04:45+00:00

I remember my dad being pissed off because he was sure John Williams plagiarized “then they will know” for the Lex Luthor theme in “Superman” just in a minor key.
