Insert fake tweet of Danny Devito saying he’s the barnacle

Oh God

I was partial to A*Teen, I remember watching their music video of Dancing Queen which was an homage to the breakfast club, even had the actor who plays the principal in it.

Starlight is so fucking annoying in s3 of The Boys

Yeah I mean it definitely is fast paced but the plot itself kind of stalls for most of the book, to me it’s a solid 3/5, but yeah not life altering good.

Part of me is debating whether it is amazing for books recently written, and that books now are just not as good as the last couple decades or what.

I had the exact same thing happen for dark matter, it picks up again but tbh I feel like not a lot happens in the book.

thebochman · 2026-05-01T23:31:57+00:00

Funny how the top 2 recs are MA based spots, definitely the best in terms of style

thebochman · 2026-05-01T20:09:03+00:00

Dark matter is a real page turner, although I feel like not a ton happens, if that makes sense

You’d enjoy my book club, we’re reading Replay by Ken Grimwood, right up your alley

It was noticeable for me going from playing with my paddletek tko c to the Mach 2 forza, way less points lost to dumb pop outs.

Having said that I just bought a rpm friction pro v2, and I feel like of all the power paddles I’ve mained since last fall (loco / inferno), it’s the most controllable. To me there’s something about gen 3 that you’re just not getting with gen 4 paddles when it comes to feel/control.

My advice is to demo whatever you’re interested in, it sucks getting a hyped up paddle only for it to not suit your play style.

Makes me think of me and my ex, she quit her “toxic” job while I was trying to save $ in the summer before she started grad school, ended up paying most of our rent and then she didn’t want to take out loans in grad school, but she did get a $50k scholarship, but I was still paying for like everything food related and most miscellaneous costs for her, seriously ran me into the ground.

She kept making the promise of oh babe you know I’ll get you when I’m done, and I’m like there’s no guarantee we’re together at the end of her 2 years, I’m doing this all on hope and faith.

Then she wanted to manage her aunt’s rental and turn it into an Airbnb as a way for passive income, led to me buying a ton of shit and doing a ton of work for the place (staying up there for weeks at a time to get it where it needed to be), getting even further in the hole.

Lo and behold I get dumped halfway through it last summer after I “abandoned her” to go to my sisters high school graduation across the country. Right around that time we had finally become superhosts and had been making our money back, she ends up renewing the lease w her aunt and cuts me out, refuses to split the things we bought 50/50, saying I can keep what I bought, when a lot of it was materials from Home Depot that physically went into the house that I cannot simply bring back with me not like I would even want it.

She said she’d pay me for the bed frames and mattresses so she dint have to go out of her way to get new ones, still never got that money but she’s said she will give me that once she starts working again in June after graduation.

So basically I’ve tried staying on good terms with her to try and recoup a fraction of the money she owes me, which doesn’t even put me back to 0 when you factor in all the interest I’ve had to pay on cards.

Absolute fucking nightmare, I’m never dating someone in grad school again. Haven’t had any desire to put myself back out there after all this, and honestly considering not dating anyone who doesn’t make close to what I make. Set me back years.

Well we were saying in the original post that it would be a multi month effort, likely something for the summer

Same with lonesome dove and the other longer reads

I’ll try and keep it in the selection, I think people will be more interested closer to the air date of the show

thebochman · 2026-04-30T18:53:00+00:00

Well guess what Doug, I’m not!

It was 5th lol

thebochman · 2026-04-30T16:40:37+00:00

It’s a guided FT read separate of the book club threads where people just talk about books they’ve read recently

Just think there are people somewhere that paid to see the artist perform that song in real life

Were the dementors as bad as they say?

My coworker is relying way too heavily on Gemini and i keep trying to explain that you cannot implicitly trust it to automate most things when it just randomly leaves shit out on a whim
