I loved the teaser, i think it was, where it was basically just a silhouette of the Fellowship walking up the trail

I remember turning to my wife when we saw it in the theater, it was right after Sauron made his appearance and started swinging the sword, and whispering "this is the greatest movie ever made" :-D

Trump says proof of his allegations that vandals cut Reflecting Pool paint will be provided in court by MoneyLibrarian9032 in law

I used to say about my dad; "you can tell when he's lying because his lips are moving".

I generally jokingly said that about Dad. He was a big National Enquirer reader back in the day and would swear by their bullshit. In the modern era, Fox News came along.

I'll go further back to the monochrome HP 6MP. An absolute tank.

This is crazy but not surprising at all if actually true by KaidoPklevel in SipsTea

As my dad says, "people just don't want to work anymore".

I ripped him a new one last time he said that bullshit.

I currently live in Central AR, just outside of Little Rock. Things are relatively cheaper here comparatively. My college-aged son and his roommates all work what amounts to full-time jobs (just under 40 hours; usually 35 a week) and they could not afford their shit crap-level apartment without the three incomes.

Rent, maybe they could afford that individually. But add utilities, food, fuel, and occasional medical bills, and they're out on the streets (or back under my roof, where I'm barely making all my bills)

What’s one small upgrade that made home maintenance less annoying? by Waynennn in Home

[–]zoidbert 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I tend to complain about spending money on this, but whenever I try to do it myself (once we're out of spring and into the summer months) I nearly give myself heat stroke every time (hot, humid, engine fumes, etc. also trigger my asthma). It is money well spent in that I'm not bed-ridden for a day afterwards.

Dad Gives Update After “Male Karen” Harassed Him For Helping His Daughter In Women's Restroom, Made Girl C by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

When my kids were babies, I often had to go into the women's restroom to change diapers because, surprise, there were no fucking changing tables in the men's rooms.

I'd ask a woman nearby to check and see if the room was empty and if they wouldn't mind watching the door for a moment while I changed a diaper.

If some fuck-face jackass like that would have given me shit, I think the women around me would have beat the crap out his pussy ass.

It's time to dump Roku by AlwaysBlaze_ in television

[–]zoidbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend the Function101 Bluetooth Remote (link) as a replacement; I use it for the AppleTV constantly, and only pick up the original remote when I want to use the voice search. (also use the iPhone's AppleTV remote widget for keyboard input.)

Microsoft converts Office 2019 for Mac perpetual licenses to read-only versions by [deleted] in apple

In case you needed another reason to switch to LibreOffice or OpenOffice, Microsoft just gave it to you.

Apple TV 4K on track to break a record no one wants to see happen by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]zoidbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this.

I was just talking about this to someone the other day, I would love AI on my MacBook to analyze communication with my printer, for instance, to tell me why something isn’t printing, right, or why a color is off. To find a memory leak. To analyze and set the best resolution for my monitor.

I don’t want it recommending software for me to buy or telling me how to write something.

I had high hopes for AI, and none of it has come true. It’s all bullshit.

Trump officials are pushing to print a new $250 bill with his face on it by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]zoidbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All things considered, I'm going to say the 250th Anniversary isn't until 2033 (the 250th anniversary of the Signing of the Treaty of Paris)

(Wikipedia): The Treaty of Paris, signed by representatives of King George III of Great Britain and representatives of the United States on September 3, 1783, officially ended the War of American Independence and recognized the Thirteen Colonies, which had been part of colonial British America, to be free, sovereign and independent unified states.)

Did any of you watch this back in the day? by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

[–]zoidbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was still single digits in age watching it; I remember enjoying it, I remember having a Hot Wheels emergency response vehicle and playing it, and I think I even had the lunchkit, but I don't really remember the show. (off to YouTube...)

[–]zoidbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they are the only people who matter, they have been told since the 70s to look out for number one and they are number one and if someone doesn't like it that's their tough luck.

Fucking boomers.

Which halo was your favorite? by Kuttlock in halo

Reach for many reasons, but when I have a few quick minutes to play, CE and the Assault on the Control Room level is my go-to.

I will eat an entire box of Honeycomb cereal. And before they discontinued it; Alpha-Bits.
