- *DISTRACTION ACHIEVED!* -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:40

  - wait, you root against Brazil? -- nm - mud Jun 21, 14:48 3
    - Of course. - Marlowe Jun 21, 14:50 2

        Soccer sucks the air out of all other sports here.. - Marlowe Jun 21, 14:56
Pokemon Go players, a friend just posted on FB that trading is live for level 40+. WTF?! Level 40?! -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:34 2
- That’s a great idea. If you’re going to do a slow roll out of new features, start with the Level 40s. There aren’t as many. - Qale Jun 21, 14:41 1
  - It's how they rolled out raids. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 21, 17:50

- Yep. Good stuff. - Dark Callisto Jun 21, 14:24
- Meantime, Facebook remains deaf to cries of rampant pirating on their platform. -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:24
Maybe there's a secret code hidden in the words on the jacket. Maybe she's hoping some cryptographers will decipher her cry for help -- nm - prayformojo Jun 21, 14:17 2
- Yes, there is. It's "Look there!! (that way you are not talking about my shitty husband)" (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 14:25
- The "n't" is silent! -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:18
From b2: MoviePass surge pricing changes. I likely won’t be sticking around much longer. It’s not what we agreed to when I paid them for the service. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 14:11 21
- 3 movies/week and snack discounts at AMC is sounding pretty good. -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:16 20
  - Oh, I would do that so quickly if I still was in NYC.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 15:20 3
    - I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it. I mostly go to AMC theaters anyway. -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 15:37 2
      - I did not, it was a bit of a haul for me, but for this price.. - Marlowe Jun 21, 16:01 1
        
        Yeah, it would be worth going further to use the deal -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 16:32
  - Yeah, we have an AMC right by here. It's not as good as Regal, but that deal is tempting. -- nm - David Jun 21, 14:28 2
    - A big downside is the independent films that AMC books are pretty much only the most known quantities. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 14:45
    - true, plus other chains may try to match -- nm - budice Jun 21, 14:30
  - It’s absolutely great. I don’t know if I can do $20 a month at this time. I’m actually not on Netflix/Hulu/Spotify because of the cash flow issues. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 14:26 8
    - I appreciate the concern. Hours have improved since my meeting. And I expect they’ll increase even more next week as the training store folks leave. - Qale Jun 21, 14:50
    - I'd be happy to add you to my Netflix with your own profile. - Krusty Jun 21, 14:36 2
      - I appreciate the offer and perhaps one day I’ll accept such. But I’m trying to save my favors for when I may reaaaallly need them. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 14:42 1
        
        It's all good. If I can ever help with anything don't hesitate to ask. -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 14:49
    - You need to get some online writing gigs. -- nm - David Jun 21, 14:28 1
      - I need to finish Bayou City Boys? -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 14:43
    - Thinking out loud: is there an opportunity here for some Slackers to subscribe to something like a Spotify family plan and share the cost? -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:27 1
      - Lawful Good alignments would prevent that since Spotify and others want you to live under the same roof. And if you’re already breaking rules... - Qale Jun 21, 14:44
  - To bad there is not an AMC close to me. And Cinemark's "movieclub" is kind of a joke. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 14:19 3
    - I got Cinemark. Local theater near me is Century(Cinemark) theater. -- nm* - budice Jun 21, 14:29
    - I got mine! - Mop Jun 21, 14:21 1
      - Closest one to me is over 30 minutes and I pass multiple other theaters on the way. Plus it's kind of a dump. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 14:23
That was fast. This is actually just a redirect, but still. http://ireallydocare.com -- (link) - mara Jun 21, 13:51 8
- blocked. -- nm - Diva Jun 21, 14:14 1
  - on her birthday?! so mean! -- nm - Max Jun 21, 14:16
- Can we impeach the first lady? -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:09 5
  - For being honest? -- nm - znufrii Jun 21, 14:17 1
    - Or stupid? -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 14:19
  - She is doing a great job by taking some attention off Scumpf.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 14:10 1
    - Yup. That's all that this is. - Jovian Jun 21, 14:52
  - Only if she takes her husband with her. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 14:10
Is it super lazy of me to make burgers on the stove instead of walking to the grill station at my complex? - not sycor Jun 21, 13:51 12
- is it pushing 110 outside, like it is here? cooking inside is fine. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 21, 14:03 4
  - Heat index is 98 due to the 81% humidity. And the grills are in the sun. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 14:06 3
    - Sounds like stovetop weather then. -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 14:08 2
      - Yeah it's the humidity. You just immediately start sweating. It's gross. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 14:09 1
        
        Yup. It's been stupid humid this week and I'm pouring sweat before I get two blocks from my house. -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 14:18
- Speaking of, we "lost" the warming plates from my Foreman grill. Should I replace it as my father's day gift or instead get a new Nest E and one of - oblique Jun 21, 13:56 1
  - Those things are not even comparable in my mind. -- nm - not sycor Jun 21, 13:59
- Not super but lazy. I make burgers on the stove all the time and they're good but not as good as on a grill. I wish I could grill at home. - Krusty Jun 21, 13:54
- Stovetop is fine. Don't fry it too long. -- (link) - mara Jun 21, 13:53 1
  - I saw that early which is what made me start thinking about it. - not sycor Jun 21, 14:11
- yes -- nm - groiny Jun 21, 13:51 1
  - But it's so hot outside. Maybe I'll just make a quesadilla instead. - not sycor Jun 21, 13:53
So how about that trade war, huh? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 13:48 1
- of course. Welcome to the Chinese Century. -- nm -- mud Jun 12 '18, 08:53 -- nm - mud Jun 21, 13:53
