We say it on a semi-regular basis, but I do want you to know I do appreciate you all. There is a lot of love here. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:27 8
- You liked Harley Quinn that much, eh? -- nm - David May 6, 09:33 4
  - The casting of Ivy and Harley (and hell, most ) is perfect. I have 5 left (in season 1). I played some Bane for Amy and had her laughing. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:36 3
    - Bane is terrific, but King Shark has won my heart. - David May 6, 09:36 2
      - Yeah, inspired. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:37
      - (Tudyk's having the time of his life.) -- nm - David May 6, 09:37

Can anybody recommend a good PC online multiplayer shooter that isn't.. yanno... full of little shits? - colin May 6, 09:20 4
- Overwatch is a decent option. Rocket League isn't exactly a shooter, but it's hella fun. World of Tanks and World of Warships as well. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 6, 09:45
- Overwatch maybe, but I'll defer that to Reagen as he played on PC (iirc) and I didn't. -- nm* - Shaun May 6, 09:25 2
  - *makes handwavy motion* -- nm - Reagen May 6, 09:30 1
    - I entered myself into an organized tournament like pick up ball. We'll see how it goes. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 09:48
Green Man Gaming is doing a Game of the Decade bracket. You can vote via Facebook. -- (link*) - Shaun May 6, 09:12 9
- Half Life : Alyx? How many people have been able to play that, like, 10? -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 09:32 2
  - The people designing these brackets are comically inept. -- nm - David May 6, 09:35
  - See? I get that this is the first real true AAA VR game, but it's still very niche. And yeah, see my comment below about being PC based. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 09:33
- Why do these people keep putting Bioshock and Portal on the same side of the bracket? - David May 6, 09:26 2
  - Neither game was even the best game of their years, let alone the decade. - Shaun May 6, 09:32 1
    - It's fine that your opinion is so ludicrously wrong that I wonder whether you're a malfunctioning robot who just failed the Turing Test. -- nm - David May 6, 09:34
- Minesweeper vs Solitaire in the finals -- nm - Beaker May 6, 09:15 1
  - As GMG is/has been primarily PC, I can see non-PC games getting ruined here. Example: Witcher 3 is already leading God of War 74%/26%. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 09:18
- Trash for trash. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:14
This is completely anecdotal , but... My store is in The Heights. Certainly a rather up-and-coming liberal area. The one I shop is in Pearland... - Qale May 6, 09:12 9
- that tracks. -- nm - colin May 6, 09:22 8
  - Pretty much, right? Conservatives think it's a hoax/overblown, Liberals are more fearful/precautionary. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 09:27 5
    - I wore a mask to walk over to the pizza place for carry out yesterday. More for the novelty & helping to normalize it than out of any real fear. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 09:28 4
      - i wear one if i am going inside anywhere. why not? -- nm - Andie May 6, 09:47
      - I don't mean "fearful" in a scared type of way, more of an understanding of the severity. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 09:31 2
        
        It's not just that. Conservatives view it as a state imposed rule on their freedom. Liberals view it as a collective effort. The masks mostly -- (edited) - pmb May 6, 09:34

There's really no good reason to use Yelp anymore. -- (link) - Reagen May 6, 08:43 9
- once Google killed their position in search results, it was over. they're just trying to make those last bucks before some weird sale. -- nm - colin May 6, 09:21
- There never was to be honest. Yelp helped create fake foodie culture rewarding nice reviews, and became this big threat "We'll destroy you on yelp." -- nm - MDH May 6, 09:10
- Yelp's Pay-To-Play model has been bullshit for years, so f*ck them. I shared this post on FB a few years ago - JaxSean May 6, 09:06
- Yeesh, that's totally underhanded -- nm - prayformojo May 6, 09:02
- The sad part about this is that people are still having to write about this and people are just learning about this horrible practice - JD May 6, 08:54
- I kind of conceived my GrubThing project as potentially a Yelp replacement, but a couple of things got in the way. - Beryllium May 6, 08:54
- Yelp has some of the... pushiest reps I have dealt with. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 08:51 2
  - Dude. you've no idea. It's crazy -- nm - Remlik May 6, 09:19 1

- Oh, absolutely. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 6, 09:46
From the it's not my kid view, I kind of like Grimes explanation of her kids name - JD May 6, 08:29 21
- Yeah, I fucking hate them both. That’s your kid, don’t do that to them. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 09:31 3
  - Giving a name feels like a basic test for whether they're ready to parent responsibly. And they just scored the lowest in the world. -- nm - David May 6, 09:36 1
    - Surprising that people named Elon and Grimes aren't great at picking names. - the wrong element, bad guy May 6, 09:43
  - word -- nm - The Child Formerly Known as X Æ A-12 May 6, 09:32

- "We almost just named him X Æ SR-71 instead, but that would have been RIDICULOUS" -- nm* - rollo May 6, 09:06
- I hope they're putting away money for the kid's therapy fund. -- nm - pmb May 6, 08:46 1
  - Hopefully it will be something along the lines of just refer to me as X. I'm guessing that having Elon as a dad is more likely to lead to therapy -- nm - JD May 6, 09:03
- Ah, yes, little Bobby Tables. -- (link) - Open Baron May 6, 08:44 1
  - heh. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 6, 09:03
- Since she knew of the Lockheed A-12 (which I didn't) I'll dismiss the "SR-17" as a typo. - zunkskunk May 6, 08:43 6
  - They have an A-12 at the Air Force museum. When it was in the old R&D hangar you could walk all around and under it. The SR-71 - TWuG May 6, 09:09 2
    - There's one on the Intrepid as well. -- nm - Roger More May 6, 09:11
    - To me, my X-Men! -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:09

  - "Grimes as plane geek" is really just not something I'm buying. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 08:46 1
    - Though I buy that's she's a geek in general and maybe it just took exposure to an aerospace geek - JD May 6, 09:01

Meat-Hoarding - Kroger CEO: "Customers will have meat during the coronavirus pandemic, so long as they are 'flexible'" -- (link) - budice May 6, 08:23 4

Trying to walk my boss's wife through setting up a new bank card online over the phone without seeing what she's looking at. This is KILLING me. -- nm - Andie May 6, 07:33 10

  - I've escaped this duty. Ignore my advice three times and we're done. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 08:47

Ok, so I'm seeing some of my FB knuckleheads all linking up something called Plandemic Movie...anyone know what it's about? - Uhtred Ragnarson May 6, 07:30 7
- Apparently it’s a preview of a full length movie that will come out this summer. They claim censorship to get everyone to upload it everywhere. - spamlet May 6, 07:43 2

    - Halas career coaching 324–151–31 (.671) with 8 NFL championships. Lamar Hunt.... - zunkskunk May 6, 07:06 1
      - I guess that's OK, but it's no naming of the Super Bowl. :P -- nm - Open Baron May 6, 07:16

Neighbour across the street is having some driveway work done so all morning has been concrete saw noises -- (edited) - Reagen May 6, 06:39 12
- Currently the next door neighbor appears to be having their house and back deck power-washed. It's ridiculously loud. Don't know what I'm going to - pmb May 6, 08:29
- Next-door neighbor replaced her deck. Took 3 days. Glad I was not stuck at home as this is the kind of noise that drives me over yet another edge. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 07:52

        A power hitter in the 9th spot? No wonder they lose so much -- nm - Krusty May 6, 07:21 1

    - Someone get Jimmy Fallon or Sia to text Probst and tell him it sucks. -- nm - Uhtred Ragnarson May 6, 07:25
  - I'm hoping that since they had to postpone filming 41 and 42 that Probst and Co will get enough bad feedback on this to shut it down in future seasons - Uhtred Ragnarson May 6, 07:03
  - Yes, for whispers to start as soon as they sit down is nonsense. What could change from the time they walk from camp? Now, if someone says something - zunkskunk May 6, 06:54
