Welcome! Thinking of Following Me? Things I Mainly Post About: * TV ๐Ÿ“บ * #MCU * Games ๐ŸŽฎ (Mostly #LEGO or #EWR) * Wrestling ๐Ÿคผ (99% #AEW) * Some political stuff (VERY left-leaning) * My #MentalHealth "Journey" ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ (sometimes dark) FYI: I won't Follow Back if your posts are 99% political ๐Ÿซค

The fight just to exist as a team was a really important story to tell, so I get why they had to focus on that in S4, but I'd really like to see them on the pitch more in S5. Higher stakes games. Learning new plays. TotalFootball? Lasso Special? Maybe Chilton has something up her sleeve? #TedLasso

Believe it or not, despite how much I bitch about how disappointed I've been thus far, I want the #DCU to succeed. So, I'm glad for "Clayface" doing well at the BO. Too bad it's a hard R horror; that doesn't appeal to me at all... kinda' disappointed w/ that. Hopefully it leads to better things?

Maybe w/ their Batman plans all screwed up Gunn could've easily said "Well, shit... why don't we just make Clayface Batman's first villain?" Having a sympathetic villain as his first major movie foe could be interesting character development for the #DCU Batman.

Apparently, one of the criticisms is that it's a stand-alone story that doesn't lead anywhere, and I read a post that said that they don't have to. I agree, actually... to an extent. Most of #MCU Phase 1 were stand alones but the stingers were the build. So, can't it be both?

I don't think that this is very spoiler-y, so I think it's safe to post: I read an interesting fan theory about #TedLasso S5. They think that the stage manager's name is Claire. If you're a fan, you should be able to put it together. If true, that could be interesting.

Walter Koenig as Oro in the Canadian sci-fi series The Starlost. The Canadian produced show was filmed in Scarborough, and only aired for 16 episodes in 1973. Due to budget cuts and production difficulties, show creator Harlan Ellison left before the first episode aired.

The Goonies takes place on the same exact date that Marty goes back to 1955. Gremlins takes place in the same location as the Clock Tower. 3 of the greatest 80s movies live in the same universe.

Oct 26th 1985 - Mikey, Chunk, Data and Mouth went on a treasure hunt to save the "Goon Docks". ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“… The Goonies (1985)

I saw someone post that Walt Disney would be horrified at the state of the company. False. As someone that worked at Disney: He was *so* not the saint the propaganda says. He'd be fucking THRILLED. He never truly cared about happy children. Just as it continues today, it was *always* about the $$.

That's not to say that he wasn't a fucking genius. He knew how to make movies / parks that made children happy which, ultimately, made parents give him money. It's just that the "Uncle Walt" stuff is such balderdash. He was a huge POS whenever he wasn't on camera. The precursor to the modern CEO.

So, not only does DST still exist for some reason... but, just to make things even more interesting, Europe/UK changes theirs a week before North America... which in itself no longer has DST everywhere. Woof... doing int'l business in the next week is gonna' be a pain. How is this still a thing?

I feel so basic. ๐Ÿ˜… I've only played AD&D 2e, D&D 3e, and Star Wars (I honestly don't even know which one). We, very briefly, attempted to play Wheel of Time but that went nowhere fast; so I'm not really counting it.

Anyone else remember those shitty arcade machines that had a bunch of different games on them - which was cool - but every quarter just bought you, like, 2 minutes of play time? It was, until we got it for the NES, the only way that I could play Super Mario 3, but, still... what a rip off.

Have any #Dispatch players opened it after the *12GB* update? They didn't bother w/ patch notes. I'm reading both that they're pushing the Deluxe Edition content to everyone but you can't access it w/o paying for it, and that it isn't working properly post-update. Anyone out there have any info?

I reconnected w/ 2 old friends last weekend, which was nice - and a positive experience which my anxiety told me it wouldn't be. Now I've yet to hear back from either of them. It's shit like this that makes me anxiously question myself. Did I say/do something wrong? Am I just too big a loser? Ugh

I know that they have lives, and that shit happens... but, man... both of them? One of them was supposed to call me back, as it was their turn in phone tag, and the call just never came. One of them was supposed to send me some stuff by email that day, and call to talk about it. Le Sigh.

"Debate" has been corrupted by codifying it into a competitive sport imo; at this point it is rarely a method for good faith actors to hit upon best solutions or refine a shared reality; it's mostly a vector for bad faith actors to keep failed and destructive ideas in perpetual zombie currency.

it's understandable to think of constructive debate as an ideal and then to figure that *any* debate is therefore a step towards political values and virtues. but I think most debates, particularly in the social media age, make conversations and outlooks worse than where they started

I thought that SBC was pretty good in "Les Mis", and that it might be the beginning of a more serious acting career. It didn't happen, obviously... but rather than creating a new, timely character, he returns to this (and probably Borat). It just screams "I'm at the bottom of the creative barrel!"

What's weird is that before I really looked at the post, all I saw was Adam Sandler doing some super racist character... ... and, sadly, I was not shocked at all. I was actually more surprised that it was Ali G.

In 1958, Muriel Billes hit upon an idea. Why not introduce a form of store currency in the form of a coupon? She took her idea to her husband Alfred, the president of Canadian Tire. Thus Canadian Tire Money was born. This is the story. ๐Ÿ“ธ Canadian Tire ๐Ÿงต 1/8

The richest man in the world just bought a piece of the biggest media megacorporation - which owns major news networks, and entertainment production companies. The news has been f'd for some time now but now it's DTA. I think the DCU might be done for... that, or Luthor wins in the next movie.

Y'know... they could cast whomever the f they wanted as James Bond, if they just came out and confirmed the fan theory that BOTH 007 and "James Bond" are code names that *any* agent can be assigned. Bing bang boom. Problem solved.

My wrestling fandom may've waned somewhat over the past few years... but even I know about The Hurt Syndicate and them not putting people over. I don't know if Shelton feels as self-important as the other 2 seem to, or if he's just caught in their current... but man, they really are useless to AEW.
