Would love Diva's thoughts: ‘Diana’ Musical Will Premiere on Netflix Ahead of Broadway Debut (it was in previews during COVID) -- (link) - MDH Aug 12, 07:23 3
- Interesting. The $$$ Netflix is offering must have been too good to pass up. As an audience member I'm happy I'll not have to pay big bucks to see it. - Diva Aug 12, 07:53 2
  - after watching the Hamilton movie, I think its cool to see performances like that, but I think you - tRuMaN Aug 12, 07:58 1
    - I know what you mean. I hope people will always want to pay for that experience and support it. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 08:18

I just saw Amy's First Day of School pic of L. Man, all those first day pictures are going to look a lot different this year. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 07:08 1

The studio behind the game Control just lost *A LOT* of fans. -- (pic) - Shaun Aug 12, 06:51 [Attachment] 3
- That sucks. Great game though. Worth picking up for $20-30 if you can find it. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 12, 06:53 2
  - Nope. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 06:55 1
    - The ashtray maze towards the end of the game was freaking amazing. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 12, 07:01
I made it to the final stage of Fall Guys and I feel like I won the lottery. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 12, 06:48 5
- That show also featured a fruit match stage where no one was eliminated. All 31 survived. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 12, 06:50
- Did you lock up the crown? -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 06:50 3
  - I couldn't even see the crown from where I finished. :) -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 12, 06:52 2
    - Dang. It's not like I'm super awesome or anything. Only 2 wins so far. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 06:55 1
      - My control is abysmal. I fall down a lot. I feel like a permit driver. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 12, 07:05
Did you know you can hit the Windows key + Period to bring up an emoji keyboard? 😲 -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 06:40 16

  - also, what's crazy is that it's right there on the right click menu in a text box at the top and I never noticed it -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 06:51 1

SITWAP. Just when you thought candy corn couldn't get any worse. - zunkskunk scared stupid Aug 12, 06:38 [Attachment] 6
- First, candy corn is awesome. This just makes it awesomer -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 06:52
- Thought I was going to have to defend some candy corn against hate, but nope, that looks gross. Harvest Corn is the bees knees though. - sycor Aug 12, 06:50
- Yes, it is real -- (link) - oblique Aug 12, 06:48 1
  - 🤢 -- nm - zunkskunk scared stupid Aug 12, 06:50
- Love candy corn. What they call harvest corn now is even better. That looks foul. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 12, 06:47
- I love candy corn but that looks nasty -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 06:41
cherry peppers stuffed with prosciutto and cheese.. what cheese and do you pickle the peppers first? -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:35 5

      - was considering a manchego too.. good stuff. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 07:10 1

Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn reveals he tested positive for COVID on 'Hard Knocks'. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 06:14
I'm not even sure who to be angry with right now. Pelosi/Schumer or the GOP. They haven't talked about the relief bill since Friday. WTF!?! - Krusty Aug 12, 06:13 13
- they want the Republicans to come to them, instead of them going to Republicans - tRuMaN Aug 12, 06:20 12
  - I'll be honest and say I don't know politics well enough to understand the "games" that are going on right now. What I do know is 30m Americans need - Krusty Aug 12, 06:25 6
    - There’s no point in talking if there’s no one to talk to. -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 12, 06:27 5
      - So they just sit by the phone? This is ridiculous. They need to be in a room and not come out until there's a deal. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 06:32 4
        
        They tried that, and one party basically said everything was a nonstarter. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 06:35 2
        
        The dems need a bulldog like they had with Carville back in the day. There's no bulldog like figure to go out there and do the hard hitting. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 06:46
        
        The dems should be on the news all day, every day railing about them not negotiating. They should be shaming them. Do something. Make noise. Let us - Krusty Aug 12, 06:40
        
        i think they are wanting to be in the room where it happens, but are afraid to be the one to request the meeting, cause reasons. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 06:34
  - Why don’t they pass a bill? They already passed a bill. -- (edited) - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 12, 06:23 4
    - sure, and yet silence. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 06:27
    - That's what I see as well but I'm also not seeing any more discussions and I'm getting quite upset about it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 06:25 2
      - A couple of thoughts: - ty97 Aug 12, 06:33 1
        
        I hear and get that. I really do. But it's now five days and no news or discussions. They're all going to leave at the end of the week and then what? - Krusty Aug 12, 06:38
KIDS fund finally hit 100. i can finally be done. thanks to y'all who helped me figure out the new playing system. - colin Aug 12, 06:10
There might honestly be too much wrong with the Spotify UI for me to switch to it. Plex/Tidal doesn't have a family plan. Anyone use Deezer? - Reagen Aug 12, 06:06 20
- I've been using Spotify since the beginning, so I have no problem with the UI. (Mobile or Desktop or Browser?) - JaxSean Aug 12, 06:39 4
  - Same. I guess I'm just used to it. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 07:20
  - That's where I'm at. I never had the patience to deal with a queue when the shuffle feature is much better than I am at choosing what to play next. -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 06:53 2
    - I'm still an albums listener. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 07:19 1
      - I am too. I agree it would be cool if you could play just one track from the album view. -- nm* - con_carne Aug 12, 08:34
- I use Amazon Music. Particularly like the sound quality. For an extra $2 or $3 per month you get lossless quality sound on most songs. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 06:30
- I use Spotify for music but their UI is trash. For podcasts I use Pocket Casts which I really like. - Krusty Aug 12, 06:14 5
  - "I just want to play an AC/DC song." "Playing all of AC/DC's songs, got it." -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:19 4
    - Huh. When you want to play just one song, you could do a search and it plays the song and then it's silence. Does Spotify not behave that way for you? -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 06:35 1
      - That's just it, I don't want to do a search. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 07:30
    - Ha! Yeah, it's not good. I think they're spending all their money acquiring podcasts that they don't have any left to fix their damn app. - Krusty Aug 12, 06:22 1
      - I tend to use the Google Assistant in the car if I'm driving and want to hear a specific song. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 07:32
- Google/YouTube Music, Amazon... -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 06:08 5
  - YouTube music... oh god. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:11 4
    - Google Play Music was actually great! And they fucked it up for no good reason. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:12 2
      - you can still use it, but get a threatening message. i'm still white listed for years on there, wonder if that'll move over to YTM. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:14 1
        
        They sent out the email last week that it's a dead service walking. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:15
    - Yeah, I felt bad even mentioning it -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 06:11
- YouTube Premium has a family plan, but I recall you saying how shitty the UI is. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 06:08 1
  - It's the whole reason I'm searching for a new one. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:12
Multnomah County DA will not prosecute non-violent misdemeanor arrests from Portland protests -- (link) - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 12, 06:03
apparently mail sorting machines are just being removed from post office sorting centers? this is insane. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:00 11
- We went 3 straight days without mail service (Friday, Saturday and Monday) in the past week. It's crazy. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 06:25 1
  - our carrier never came yesterday. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:33
- I'm going to guess there is also some law that says the ballot has to be delivered via USPS? -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 06:03 8
  - a lot of states are allowing mail in ballots to be dropped off at polling locations or drop boxes... but this is more than just votes. - colin Aug 12, 06:06 7
    - It's wild. Who's going to have the toughest time with a worse post office? Rural red state voters. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:14 5
      - They’re also much more likely to vote in person and have an accessible polling place. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 06:16 1
        
        that's the other piece.. you cut urban polling centers plus this? that's some large scale voter suppression. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:17
      - supposedly GOP voters are more likely to poll in person this year... big advantage if true. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:15 2
        
        I'm reminded of the bullshit in Wisconsin, which just served to drive voter turnout from spite. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:17 1
        
        (there was also an update recently that they've got 150 some polling places in Milwaukee now) - Reagen Aug 12, 06:20
    - the main post office here is just so old ugly and terrible. I love it. I remember it from when I was a kid and it hasn't changed one bit. - amanda Aug 12, 06:12
I like the looks of the ST NHL Bracket Challenge. Everyone has a different Champ. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 05:55
Only in Florida: Marion County deputies ordered not to wear masks at work -- (link) - oblique Aug 12, 05:44 3
- this is so stupid it hurts. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 09:12
- This is why Florida is the most dangerous place on earth right now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:50 1
  - well, this, plus the alligators -- nm - decline Aug 12, 05:53
I'm a little surprised the right is going with "she's not really black." I thought they had decided on "she slept her way up." -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:44 3
- the right is also going with "west coast liberal", that old favorite. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 05:48 2
  - OH, and I almost forgot. She will make the US into San Francisco. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 06:18 1
    - if only.. -- nm - colin Aug 12, 06:18
I see the World Council of Janae/ays is at it again. I just came across a Jenaye -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 05:41 2
- Throwing it out there for people to use: Zhuhgnaey -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:04 1
  - zero clue on the pronunciation -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 06:41
RIP Sumner Redstone at 97 (damn). I wonder who gets his money? -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:32 2
- my money's on the daughter. I thought the son was on the outs. -- nm - mafic Aug 12, 05:36 1
  - I would assume she gets most, but does she get all? -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:39
Today I'm going to the Tower of London which I've never been in before. Might go full tourist and take the river bus back. -- nm* - LMS Aug 12, 05:11 7
- i love doing local super tourist things - enjoy! -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 06:06
- Cool! -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 05:59
- It's your own business, but if you're stealing the Crown Jewels it's probably a bad idea to broadcast your getaway plan ahead of time. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 05:36 2
  - I don't think I've ever seen a crown jewels scene on TV or film where they aren't stolen. - LMS Aug 12, 05:53
  - Worked for Moriarty. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:37
- I never went. I bet this is a great time to go, assuming they are restricting numbers of people inside. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 05:34 1
  - Correct, I think visitors are down 80% -- nm - LMS Aug 12, 05:50
the 538 model is up if you want a new thing to drive you insane daily. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 04:44 10
- I just come here for that.🤢 -- nm* - Diva Aug 12, 06:10 3
  - Would you like to hear what's wrong with Kamala Harris? - Inigo Aug 12, 06:26
  - Sometimes I take breaks! Who will do it then, hmmm? - Reagen Aug 12, 06:21
  - (ha) -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 06:12
- The models they have for a Trump win seems farfetched. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 12, 05:59 1
  - A lot would just be "2.5 months to the election". -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 06:37
- *twitch* -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 12, 05:23 1
  - It's actually *prime gaming* now.. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 12, 05:51
- HSX Presidential options go live next week (Thursday the 20th) -- nm* - Beaker Aug 12, 04:53
- there's an economist one that's also pretty good. -- (link) - mafic Aug 12, 04:48
IT'S TIME FOR THE 7TH PERIOD STRETCH (the jumbo-tron operator needs a raise) -- (link) - Beaker Aug 12, 04:36 2
- 4th longest game ever. 5th to even go to 5OT. -- nm - mafic Aug 12, 04:45 1
  - Game 1 of Round 1. Ouch. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 05:10
B2 David: Looks like Nebraska is trying to figure out a way to join that party. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 12, 04:23 2
- It's shocking that the south wouldn't consider the health and well being of its young people. Just way out of character. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 04:45 1
  - Yes, it's amazing how some schools thinks COVID will only effect 3 hour games on Saturday, not practicing 20 hours a week or traditional college activities outside football. -- nm* - Strongbad Aug 12, 05:24
