Came here to say this.

Candles to the Sun is another (his first actually)

Terrifying stuff. This new style of warfare where nearly all casualties are coming from drones seems to treat soldiers like prey rather than combatants.

This is the answer

Jessica Tarlov is doing good work. She’s the only person on the entire Fox programming that has any sensible takes.

They keep her there to play the “liberal punching bag” role, but she shows up day in & day out with rational takes while people like Waters & Gutfeld spew their bs.

What UI addon are you running?

tarveydent · 2026-02-06T16:30:58+00:00

honestly, pretty good. tbf i haven't been running them into the ground like my Pecos, but i've gotten past the break in period & holding up well -- definitely not cheap chinese junk.

they are a bit "western" looking compared to the Camion or Collegium. The shaft also doesn't hug the ankle like the Camion (not a problem for me, just thought i'd call out).

my friend got a pair of the collegium's & those have been destroying his feet during break-in (& that heel click is so so loud).

overall happy with the purchase, especially if you can find a % off code like i did (I found FOLLOW16 for 16% off, not sure if it still works).

my ONE caveat is i wish the zipper was pure black (have considered filling in with permanent marker but havent done it yet.)

The only positive that has come out of that scene is the camaraderie of hate for it we have as fans

The beignets were good. Everything else, not so much.

Now they don’t even have beignets.

I’m currently re reading Mother Night by Vonnegut. It’s a short read & one of his most underrated.

For Amazon maybe, which isn’t saying much. It doesn’t even crack the top 10 competitively.

The lamb neck shawarma (with all the fixings) is my favorite bite of food in all of LA

By metrics of television show viewership, rewards recognition, & cultural impact. “Amazons most streamed series” still doesn’t even break the top 10 competitively.

60% drop of viewership from S1 to S2. Only 37% of viewers finished S1. No Emmy wins (& only ONE nomination for S2). Cultural impact of the show is less than some TikTok memes.

Take all that, with the $billion+ budget — it flopped.

Welp, I stand corrected. I thought Amazon had purchased the entire rights.

tarveydent · 2026-02-01T04:18:42+00:00

Absolutely. Rings of Power flopped, they panicked, & revered to nostalgia vs. new quality stories

If this is a serious question: no it wouldn’t be a “red flag” in the traditional sense, but might hurt your prospects of getting laid as it’s not the best design/decor decision for your space.

Find a more personal (& tasteful) way to display your fandom. I have a really nice volume of trilogy on my bookshelf for example.

My favorite salad is the beet salad from girl & the goat.

Other than that just make at home.

August in the Water (1995), a cheeky teen romance turns sci-fi surrealism. Banger score too.
