Oh, sure, Biden has all the excuses like "He was having surgery that day" and "He was photographed in another state" -- (link) - Reagen May 3, 12:01 10
- I love the faction of “Biden may or may not have done this, so we have to re-elect the guy with 25 credible accusers” that’s out there. -- nm - Tim May 3, 12:45 8
  - #Believeallwomenbutnother -- nm - Strongbad May 3, 14:03

        I think this pandemic will prove to have shifted fiscal and monetary policy more to the left than Bernie could have managed unfettered on his own. - Loyola May 3, 13:05 2
        
        I wouldn't count on it. "Look how much the government has failed you! We need less government, more corporations!" - GOP -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:09 1

  - Woot! - Spawn May 3, 11:24
I won’t vouch for this being 100% scientifically accurate, but it seems to track what we’re seeing. - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch May 3, 10:45 14
- I can’t take not one more relative or friend telling me “ but I’m not sick” as the incentive for me to agree to join them in their own gleeful jump - Epiphany May 3, 12:07
- LOL. Indiana entered phase 2. Why? Mainly because the number of hospital admissions has decreased over the last two weeks. Even though the daily ... - Spawn May 3, 11:07 1
  - hospital admissions in Indianapolis increased. -- nm - Remlik May 3, 11:21
- The premise of this is painfully stupid -- nm - JackDawson May 3, 11:02 3
  - Though we seem to have a number of fellow citizens who are apparently hellbent on just acting painfully stupid....and some of those are govt leaders -- nm - JD May 3, 12:05 1
    - Human history show we are resilient adaptable primates that WILL in fact collectively act when circumstances require us to survive - examples abound - JackDawson May 3, 12:10
  - *shrug* -- nm - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch May 3, 11:15
- I'd literally be sailing right now if it weren't for the pandemic. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 11:02
- I can buy this. Even I've had a few "Oh, fuck I want to go (wherever/whatever) it'll be fine" thoughts recently even as I know that it might not be. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 3, 10:54 3
  - Driving back and forth to work (and therefore also stopping to gas up), I keep thinking similar thoughts. - Spawn May 3, 11:13 2
    - Planning a bike ride shortly and texted some friends earlier: - Cuzzin Todd May 3, 11:31 1
      - I think part of it is just wanting to feel normal for a bit. - . May 3, 12:32
- tl;dr (IMO): we're addicted to going out, being active and not being patient. Stay home. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 10:50 1
  - I don’t think addiction is quite the idea they are getting at, but it’s close. Mental inertia, perhaps? -- nm - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch May 3, 10:55
Confession. I think I’ve seen them all but I couldn’t tell you the plot or order of any Mission Impossible films after the first one. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 10:42 16
- I saw the first and then the second put me off sering any more. -- nm - . May 3, 12:26
- Never seen any of them. -- nm - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch May 3, 11:02 7
  - MI 3, 4, and 5 are all close to perfect movies. -- nm - David May 3, 11:26 3
    - Number 1 and the last one. Skip everything else. -- nm - Loyola May 3, 12:25 1
      - MI3 is probably the best action movie of the 2000s. -- nm - David May 3, 12:55
    - and 6 is even better! -- nm - mud May 3, 11:27
  - You're missing out. 3-6 are amazing. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:23 2
    - Absolutely. Best action franchise out there. -- nm - Marlowe May 3, 12:18
    - yep -- nm - mud May 3, 11:26
- I'm not sure I've seen any but the first one? Not even 100% sure on that? - ty97 May 3, 11:01
- This, but slight adjustment. I am pretty sure I have missed one or maybe two of them. But I have no idea which ones I have and have not seen*. - Spawn May 3, 11:00 3
  - Right? Same. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 11:47
  - 3 has the bridge; 4 has the skyscraper; 5 has the underwater dive; 6 has the HALO jump. -- nm* - Will Hunting May 3, 11:20
  - don't miss V & VI ! they're better directed (Christopher McQuarrie, who's on for the next two) and Ilsa Faust is a very cool character -- nm - mud May 3, 11:17
- NOC list. Chimera. Rabbit's foot. Kremlin go boom. Syndicate. Recharging fists go boom. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 10:59 1
  - "Hmmm." -- nm - con_carne May 3, 11:12
"Secretariat overtakes Seattle Slew down the stretch to win virtual Kentucky Derby" -- nm - David May 3, 10:33 1
- Hunter S. Thompson is actually there. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:34
It’s hard - znufrii, drinking an 18 year-old scotch May 3, 10:31 7
- We did curbside pickup. Order online, park in a spot, they put it in the back/trunk. No contact. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 10:51 2
  - I would do this, but it's impossible in LA. I go to Amazon every day, put things in my cart and then try for a delivery window a few times a day. - jnine May 3, 11:05
  - Only problem I have with that here is the $30 minimum order. Can't order for just a couple of things. And besides first date/time is still 3 days out. -- nm - Meg May 3, 10:55
- No corner stores, a key feature of suburban life -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:35 1
  - I heard those are where COVID started. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:37
- I made lasagna for the first time in about 15 years on Friday. It took me forever to get the ingredients together from delivery. I gave up on - jnine May 3, 10:35 1
  - Well woman, you are doing it, just not every day for a brood - zeitgeist May 3, 11:47
Netflix USA Top 10 for the week. (None of which I will watch) - Spawn May 3, 10:29 19
- I haven't heard of most of these. On the other hand I don't have Netflix. -- nm* - . May 3, 12:24
- What's the rest of the world watching? I think I watch more of Netflix's imported stuff than I do of their English language originals -- nm - JD May 3, 12:02 1
  - Here, it seems people watch a lot of Spanish series. (NM) - Marlowe May 3, 12:17
- The Last Kingdom does have a great trailer. Since those auto-play, I suspect that's a strong determinant in these stats. -- nm - David May 3, 10:51 1
  - Right, this is rigged bigtime. Last night I finished Narcos and if we didn't pick up the remote, it would have played Last Kingdom trailer and show -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:55
- Den of Thieves wasn't bad. I'll watch Extraction eventually and The Last Kingdom sounds like Vikings -- nm - Beaker May 3, 10:39
- It's amazing how far they've fallen from the late 2000's - Will Hunting May 3, 10:35 11
  - Those were all syndication basically. These are mostly originals. Ryan Murphy, Russo Brothers, Mindy Kaling. -- nm - Dano May 3, 10:46 1
    - And their equivalents in other countries. NF is trying to be the world content leader. Most of the world doesn't care who Tony Shaloub is. -- nm - con_carne May 3, 11:04
  - Netflix, not USA Network -- nm - Tim May 3, 10:45 1
    - Oh. Now I see. -- nm - Dano May 3, 10:49
  - Most of those are new so people starved for content watched them. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:38
  - Half of your examples are AMC shows. I see those more on Hulu now, I think. -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:38 5
    - ? AMC? -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 10:39 4
      - AMC, USA, same diff. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:41 3
        
        Right. If cord-cutting made you miss some basic cable shows, Hulu is the service you need to have, not so much NF -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:47 2
        
        Oh, I meant more in context of their quality. USA had like 6-7 really fun shows in 5 years that they struggle to replicate -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:05 1
        
        And I just realized these weren't USA shows on Netflix -- sorry. I'm dumb. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:22
- The Last Kingdom is a good show. Try it, you'll like it! -- nm - jnine May 3, 10:32
I got 3, or maybe 4 (but that fourth one is one that I WANT to eat, just can't at the moment) -- (link) - Beryllium May 3, 10:28 5
- 2 definitely, 1 depends on type. -- nm - . May 3, 12:22
- Leaves out a few big ticket family dividing ingredients like *onions* cilantro, hot spices, gluten items, okra -- nm - zeitgeist May 3, 11:59
- Do an attachment next time. We have to load Twitter and tap like five times just to see this whole thing. -- nm - con_carne May 3, 11:34
- 1/2. I’ll eat liver depending on context. Eg liverwurst, foie gras etc is fine, but I wouldn’t want to have a whole meal of it - Roger More May 3, 10:54
- Yup, If I could still eat avocado I'd be a -0-. Would and have eaten everything else on the list. -- nm - Meg May 3, 10:51
China be like, “Coronavirus didn’t finish the job? Send in the murder hornets.” -- nm - Dano May 3, 10:27
I see pro tip guides for Overwatch and they talk about animation cancels to get an extra .1 of a second reaction time. It's unreal. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 10:22 5
- Super Smash Bros has entered the chat -- nm - Qale May 3, 10:34
- Cancel discussions are when I realize videogames are more work than I'm willing to do. -- nm - David May 3, 10:30 2
  - Right? It's like "OK chill, Billy Mitchell." -- nm - Reagen May 3, 10:48
  - I blame Destiny raids. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:33
- Actually, that is text book. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:24
Stat I was unaware of: The Dream Team never called a timeout. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 10:11 3
- More worried about catching their tee time after the game -- nm - budice May 3, 10:26
- Why would they? They won by 50 on average. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:15
- Did the Harlem Globetrotters? - Spawn May 3, 10:14
David, you think your hair is bad? I just turned on the TV and realized I have TCRUI in MI2 bad hair. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 09:44 32
- My hair is worse than a Spin Doctors song. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 3, 09:50 3
  - Two Princes or Little Miss Can't Be Wrong? -- nm - Reagen May 3, 10:57 2
    - Yes. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 3, 12:46
    - or *shudder* Jimmy Olsen's Blues? -- nm - Reagen May 3, 10:57
- still not as scary as coming across M:I 2 on tv. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 09:47 27
  - You are a terrible person AND a Thandie Newton hater. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 3, 09:49 26
    - MI:2 is easily the worst of the 6 movies. It's an insult to good action movies. - Will Hunting May 3, 09:53 25
      - Who hurt you? -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 3, 09:53 24
        
        John Woo. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:16 22
        
        David stopped whaaa? But why? -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:19 21
        
        It's really the only option if he's defending MI2. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 10:33 14
        
        I will say this for it, if not for MI:2, we never would have had seven more of them. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:36 13
        
        Alternatively, it put the franchise on ice for 5 years until Cruise decided he needed something familiar post-couch jump. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:38 12
        
        There was 4 years between MI1 and 2 though. And 5 years between 3 and 4. I think the gap had more to do with Cruise wanting to do things outside of fr - Roger More May 3, 10:59 10
        
        For a while it seemed like Cruise was doing a thing where he wanted to collect as many top tier directors as he could. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 11:09
        
        At this point the MI series is kind of like a BBC show. A season every two years, consisting of 2 or 3 great eps - except in this case it's a movie. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 11:05
        
        Remember when the internets wanted him for Tony Stark? - Spawn May 3, 11:01 7
        
        I think it would have worked...he's extremely talented and his natural charisma could easily work for Tony's arrogance - Will Hunting May 3, 11:08 6
        
        I think it would have worked for Tony Stark before he was Iron Man, but not after. -- nm - Roger More May 3, 12:38
        
        Tom Cruise will reportedly make 75% of the box office of the next Avengers movie... -- nm - HR Story May 3, 11:16 4
        
        Did we ever hear what RDJ got? Last I'd seen, he was up to 50mil for Civil War. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:18 3
        
        Deadline suggested $75 million, $55 million of it on the back end. Someone else I trust had indicated $90 million. - David May 3, 11:25 2
        
        "This lets me follow my dream of the dragon colonoscopy movie." -- nm - Reagen May 3, 11:59
        
        So, 3% of the worldwide gross...that's a rather solid check. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:26
        
        6 is a masterpiece, better than any Bond or Bourne. -- nm - mud May 3, 10:41
        
        You probably shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. -- nm - David May 3, 10:30 5
        
        Yeah, it sounded like just the kind if thing STers would do just to make a point :P -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:49 4
        
        He's teasing me because I'm the strongest proponent of MI of anyone here...including MI2! - David May 3, 10:50 3
        
        For me, it's 4/5.3..6..................1...........2 -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:13 2
        
        Thandie Newton and I pity you. -- nm - David May 3, 11:21 1
        
        She actively hides her participation in this movie. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:22
        
        With the pending demise of HSX, this is the quality movie content the internet needs. -- nm - ST Analyst May 3, 10:01
Wait, I had Kawasaki disease 39 years ago. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 09:37
Turns out Magic Leap truly was vaporware. Laid off half the company and shut down consumer division. -- (link) - spamlet May 3, 09:20
