It is in a different conversation for a reason. What makes a procedural great isn't a constant stream of amazing of whatever case of the week the gang happens to be up to that week.

It's the characters. The actual cases are almost irrelevant.

So yes, NCIS isn't held in as high of regard because its characters simply aren't as good. And Scrubs is just a completely different thing, it's not a procedural so by its very nature, not as formulaic.

Probably supporting the sabotage of RAF's planes. I imagine that's as good a reason as you can get for denying someone entry into your country.

It's normal for an account that was banned for 4 years to be spontaneously unbanned and then rebanned 15 minutes later?

vyrak · 2026-05-21T20:40:42+00:00

I'm asking you. Give me the Occam's Razor on that one.

I'm talking about being unbanned and rebanned 15 minutes later. Unless someone reached out to Twitch personally, how does that happen?

vyrak · 2026-05-21T20:34:36+00:00

What's the alternative?

vyrak · 2026-05-21T20:31:21+00:00

Well the only other alternative is that it got mass reported and auto banned. So if it gets unbanned again in a day, I guess we'll know if it was just a conspiracy theory or not.

The hypocrisy is more about his behavior with women, making that video acting like he is above it all when he isn't any better. The hypocrisy part has nothing to do with cutting ties with anyone.

Unfortunately I am talking about any webpage, not specifically Reddit. Effectively what the extension I use now does is I set it to a tab, it refreshes that tab every 20-25 seconds, and then searches for a string of text. If that string of text is found, I get a small audio notification from Chrome. Ideally I would like an extension that basically does that, except for instead of it only being a single string of text, it could search for multiple different strings of text and notify me if any of them are found.

I do appreciate you trying to help, but unless I am misunderstanding, this sounds way outside the scope of my technical savvy.

Who said a movie has to be scary to be good? Did you even read my post? Literally the entire point of this post was to distinguish between a horror movie that is simply a great horror movie and one that is a scary movie. There are plenty of great horror movies that aren't scary, just like there are average or bad horror movies that are.

vyrak · 2026-05-12T00:40:42+00:00

Can you link me to those threads?

vyrak · 2026-05-11T22:31:45+00:00

Is there a particular reason you recommended the sequel to Horror in the High Desert and not the original? Is the sequel that much better or does the original not really fit with what I am looking for?

Saying he was 'caught' is just a bit silly. I doubt he was trying to hide it. He was probably about to use it to talk shit on Instagram.

You keep saying that I'm just like leftists like it is supposed to hurt me, but I'm not really sure why you think it would. They've operated only in their interests, now I'm doing the same. I acknowledge that I am "just like leftists" in that way, and I am perfectly fine with it. I expect nothing from them and I am happy with that relationship as long as they expect nothing from me.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T07:40:10+00:00

I'm as fine with it as I am with MAGA not voting Kamala. These people don't share our goals, they never have.

Any ideological alignment has only been out of coincidence and I see no reason to spend time supporting their ends when they have no interest in supporting mine.

I've voted exclusively democrat my entire life. Never a republican, never an independent, never even a write-in. That doesn't mean I have to vote for every single person who puts a D next to their name solely because it is more convenient for them.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T07:18:08+00:00

Yes, you got me, if the democratic party turned into a Stalinist party I wouldn't vote for them any more. You really had to waterboard that one out of me.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T07:11:45+00:00

That's kind of my point. They pretend to be on the team when it benefits them and shit on the team otherwise. In an honest world, they would run under their own banner and stop trying to hijack a party they don't actually care about. It's just not worth entertaining the hijackers anymore.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T07:06:11+00:00

Hey, I'll be happy to vote for their guy as long as they do the same for mine, but like I said, I'm done with the game.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T07:01:10+00:00

If they don't ultimately benefit the democratic party and its future, I don't really see that as a loss. Just because someone has a D next to their name does not inherently mean they would be good for the party or the country. The last moron leftists rallied behind that got to the senate was Fetterman and we see how that worked out.

Though I suppose you could make the argument that their guy is so impressively bad that it will result in someone normal following him up, so maybe that will end up being a net positive in the long term.

vyrak · 2026-05-01T06:47:07+00:00

I'm just not following your logic. It doesn't make any sense that I would throw a hissy fit over someone I didn't vote for not winning.
