WWE releasing NFT's - Remlik Apr 8, 17:58 4
- Some NFTs are benefitting charity, so it can be a good thing -- nm - stim-mie Apr 8, 18:03 1
  - Yes, but this one is WWE. It's benefiting one person only. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 18:16
- NFT's is one of those things that I can barely be bothered to try to understand. I can't get 2 or 3 works into any story about it. - Mop Apr 8, 18:00 1
  - The secret lair drops of special Magic cards is about as far as I can go towards wholesale frivolous collectibles. -- nm - Qale Apr 8, 18:02
Poll: Have you contributed to a Kickstarter for something tangible? How'd it turn out? - Tim Apr 8, 17:58 16
- 13; 11 kickstarter, 2 indiegogo. All good. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 20:26
- I've had several turn out fine, but I'm still waiting on my "don't fuck me Gil" die. -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 20:11
- I donated to one of Jax's Musical Duet Friends. The Pair are doing fine on their musical career - stim-mie Apr 8, 18:09 1
  - I'd like to know what happened. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 20:27
- I've done like four. The most successful was Veronica Mars. All of them were worthwhile, and I felt like I contributed to the success. - David Apr 8, 18:08
- Exploding Kittens cards -- nm - Flavorize— Apr 8, 18:04
- I have done Kickstarters/indiegogo for headphones three times and for orba once. Only once was it a disaster. - amanda jeans Apr 8, 18:01 2
  - NmbAmanda - Qale Apr 8, 18:03
  - Orba -- (link) - amanda jeans Apr 8, 18:03
- I contributed quite a sum to his first campaign. I think I’ll let others carry this one. I’ve met him, he is a good, but stubborn, man. -- nm - Qale Apr 8, 17:59 5
  - I didn't donate to the first one, but I'm doing much better financially right now. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 18:02 4
    - I have my doubts on this one. It has taken RiffTrax years to get to where they are. -- nm - Qale Apr 8, 18:04 3
      - They've had some successful live tours, and they've tried a couple of things with that crew during the pandemic. - Tim Apr 8, 18:05 2
        
        Oh, I do too. I will accept any MST3K in any form. -- nm - Qale Apr 8, 18:07 1
        
        I've realized that Rifftrax is generally much meaner towards the movies and sometimes it's funny, but it's much less fun. - Tim Apr 8, 18:08
- yes to documentaries and graphic novels. all were funded and I got my stuff -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 17:59
I think the pandemic forcing Euphoria to do their two episodes was the best possible outcome. I’ve rewatched them three times. They are truth bombs. -- nm* - Qale Apr 8, 17:58
I'm going with the "Rock and Diesel couldn't stand to look at each other" theory -- (link) - Reagen Apr 8, 17:57
Candace Laray is dangerous. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 17:44 19
- Candice is a pro's pro. Shotzi's still pretty wreckless. - Tim Apr 8, 17:50 17
  - she and her partner failed to catch Shotzi -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 17:54 2
    - and your first thought is to blame the shorter one? - David Apr 8, 17:54 1
      - really I'm teasing you in particular. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 18:12
  - Shotzi was juiced and overly excited, completely missing her landing spot. - David Apr 8, 17:53 13
    - yeah she was super hyped. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 17:55
    - Here. -- (link) - David Apr 8, 17:54 11
      - that's on the green haired girl right? cause she missed both of them outside the ring... -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 17:58 2
        
        Yeah, the two outside were absolutely not expecting her to overshoot them. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:59 1
        
        I mean, it's hard to do in that tight a space. She must have been going at a Tiger Woods speed. -- nm - David Apr 8, 18:05
      - Yup, that's on her, Candice and Indi weren't expecting that. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:56 7
        
        that was a planned spot. Shotzi overshot them though for sure -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 18:00 1
        
        I don't see how they expected it to work. the way the person on the ropes was situated kinda blocked her from hitting the 2 on the floor -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 18:04
        
        It's an ill-considered spot because Ember's blocking the view of the people outside, too. - David Apr 8, 17:57 4
        
        I remember the Evolve spot where she just dove into a bunch of chairs. Her career's got a short shelf life if she stays that reckless. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:59 3
        
        ik, r? -- nm - Mick Foley Apr 8, 18:07 2
        
        and I kid, for every Mick or Terry Funk there are 50 guys/girls who can barely walk -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 18:08 1
        
        Mick’s pretty damn hobbled as is. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 18:13
- It's Shotzi. It's always Shotzi. -- nm - David Apr 8, 17:48
Tonight is our lecture on the study that said man was in SoCal 150,000 years ago. I'm not yet sure what side our presenter is on. - Meg Apr 8, 17:42 3
- He's a paleontologist so we'll see :/ - Meg Apr 8, 18:02
- pretty sure he fought the dinosaurs around that time -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 17:46
- "big, if true" -- nm - mud Apr 8, 17:44
someone splain me how I join turntable to hear all the weird sh!# you all listen to? -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 17:39

- "Clearly these couldn't have been for anything illegal ... I'd have to have been an absolute *moron* to create records of illegal things. Hah ha...ha" -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 17:27
James Hampton - the Teen Wolf dad - died yesterday at age 84 - Max Apr 8, 17:21 2
- I first saw him in F Troop -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 17:30 1
  - Evidently Larry Storch of F Troop is still alive at 98? -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 17:36
Hey nerds... - David Apr 8, 17:11 5
- Holy crap ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 17:39
- FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 17:14 3
  - You know what this means. -- (pic) - Mop Apr 8, 17:17 [Attachment] 2
    - what Mop said -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 17:40
    - you want this, too -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 8, 17:37 [youtube]
Drove past the Volvo dealership today and spotted the XC40 Recharge in the parking lot. -- (edited) - Mop Apr 8, 17:08
And now Grammy nominated artist ..Poppy - eag Apr 8, 17:07 7
- I understood exactly 3 words in that song. "stand and deliver" -- nm - Ender Apr 8, 20:12
- Poppy's a little sloppy! -- nm* - con_carne Apr 8, 17:22
- Pippy is my real Grammy winner -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 17:10 1
  - Damn straight I am! -- nm - Pippy Apr 8, 17:11
- Hi, I’m Poppy! -- nm - IAmQale Apr 8, 17:08 2
  - Was about to light the Qale signal if you didn't reply immediately -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:10 1
    - I couldn’t be happier for that weirdo. She is a long way from Charlotte and Plant. -- nm - Qale Apr 8, 17:56
“Elbow Gate” -- nm - Flavorize— Apr 8, 17:05 1
- "eh? eh? nudge nudge, knowwhatImean? say no more." -- nm - Max Apr 8, 17:07
California is running a series of ads encouraging residents to vacation in-state this year. I'm trying to decide if things will be good in June. -- nm - Meg Apr 8, 17:02 3
- yeah, I noticed they were advising people to not leave the state and for non-essential travel from out of state to Cali to be avoided. - ty97 Apr 8, 17:11 2
  - (I'm not sure I see the different between someone from Orange County going to wine country vs going to Denver but *shrug*) -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 17:11 1
    - True, but I think this is more about economic support for local tourist destinations. We've lost so much this year, as have other states :/ -- nm - Meg Apr 8, 17:16
Well that's not good. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 8, 16:55 11
- the girls need a better pimp. $300 each??? -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 16:57 10
  - The way I read it, they got 100% of the transaction. They have the best pimp ever. -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 17:32 2
    - But the real tragedy is they had to turn around and pay for Obamacare themselves! -- nm - Max Apr 8, 17:34 1
      - that is the gig economy -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 17:39
  - for only 3,333 times more he could of had the catch me outside girl -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 17:31
  - 2018 was a long time ago. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 17:10 1
    - anything pre-pandemic seems like a lifetime or 2 ago. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 17:30
  - I mean, in high school, they've got free room and board already. So, that's all disposable income for hookers. -- nm - David Apr 8, 17:04
  - Maybe that's the defence. "C'mon, $300 isn't nearly enough to pay for sex!" -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 17:01
  - "I thought it was for cab fare!" -- nm - Max Apr 8, 16:59 1
    - "I was paying to enroll each of them in an SAT prep course!" -- nm - rollo Apr 8, 17:22
There's precedence for a protest in exactly this situation -- (link) - Reagen Apr 8, 16:36
"After the game, Kulpa, in the pool report, acknowledged he made the wrong call" - David Apr 8, 16:20 3
- *smh* He was about to call it strike three. He knew he was in the strike zone. He's a liar and a bad umpire. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 17:13
- Just got home. Yeesh. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 17:01
- [stolen] "mea Kulpa" -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 16:37
Texas State Trooper shot and wounded in pursuit of shooting suspect, who is now in custody. -- (link) - Meg Apr 8, 16:11
Marvel also dropped an hour long version of the Zemo cut -- (link) - Beaker Apr 8, 16:08 [youtube] 9
- This redeems the entire episode. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 17:10
- (I wonder if Daniel Bruhl has realized yet that people are gonna make him do this until the end of time) -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 16:15 2
  - Before it all dropped, he seemed to find the whole thing humorous. I hope he leans into it. He's a great actor. This makes him famous. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 17:11
  - Would that be such a bad thing? - Beryllium Apr 8, 16:41
- I've had it playing on my left TV for like three hours. -- nm - David Apr 8, 16:11 3
  - It's too bad YT isn't on Nielsen. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 16:14 2
    - It'd be all Mr. Beast videos. -- nm - David Apr 8, 16:16 1
      - Cocomelon. No joke. It's now conquered 2 streaming platforms. -- nm - Mop Apr 8, 17:18
- There is also a black and white version. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 16:11
vandals permanently deface and ruin ancient Native American petroglyphs in Georgia -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 8, 16:00 3
- It was probably the Mets, if I understand Twitter. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 16:05
- TBF, the Native Americans vandalized it first. Give it 500 years and these will be works of antiquity too. -- nm* - Ender Apr 8, 16:04 1
  - I disagree. - Beryllium Apr 8, 16:18
I’ve been doing a rewatch and I think I’ve settled on my favorite quote from Schmidt on New Girl. - Volnelk Apr 8, 15:51 1

I'm surprised I'm liking Aaron Rodgers on Jeopardy. His interaction with the players during play the game feels the most natural of any of the guest- - prayformojo Apr 8, 15:46 3
- Levar Burton deserves a shot if not the job -- nm - Stim-mie Apr 8, 15:54 1

  - I really liked it - Strongbad Apr 8, 15:28 3
    - I laughed at that. I might even have kept it. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 16:27
    - For that view? - znufrii Apr 8, 16:25
    - not sure why they let the moss grow into the house. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:29
Eff it. You’re not going to let me do my work? Then I’m not doing any work. *shuts down his computer for the night* -- nm* - znufrii Apr 8, 15:21
I hope some tickets open up for that Rage/RTJ tour. 🤞🏼 -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 15:15 1

The Woman in the Window | Official Trailer | Netflix -- (link) - Beaker Apr 8, 15:11 [youtube] 1
- One of the worst books I've read in many many many many MANY many years. Why does Netflix hate Amy Addams so much? (NM) - Marlowe Apr 8, 15:19
No, you shut it, nerd! -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:08 5
- Let the doggo enjoy the film! (NM) - Marlowe Apr 8, 15:14 4
  - I’m trying to save the dog! You might as well make it watch the Snyder Cut! -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:15 3
    - Sure, if I want to make the dog jump out of a window.. Star Wars will just make him silly and a bit angry at times. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 8, 15:20 2
      - And disappointed in your movie tastes. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:21 1
        
        Tsc tsc tsc. Even I can enjoy some silly fun at times. - Marlowe Apr 8, 15:24
B2: Ron Kulpa and since replay can only review the hit by pitch which it technically did that was kind of the end of it. It could've been called a -- (edited) - JD Apr 8, 15:07 [Backboard] 14
- Jokes on Conforto. He will earn the next hit by pitch and since he plays for the Mets, it’ll probably end his career. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 15:21 2
  - Like literally everyone who's not on the 26 man roster hates this dude rn, and probably some of them too. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:28
  - Oof. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 15:26
- The batter's gonna find out what it means to get beaned the next time he's up in front of that pitcher. -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 15:20 2

  - good -- nm - mud Apr 8, 15:21
- What if we took away their elbow pads. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:15 1
  - And those are the slimmed down models. Bonds and others basically had armor on and no fear of the - Krusty Apr 8, 15:17
- That they can review the hit by pitch, see that he leaned into it and not have any power to do anything about it is a big flaw in the system. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 8, 15:12 5
  - Jokes on him, the ball was covered in COVID vaccine. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 15:18 1
    - We are going to have a car wreck from Kim laughing so hard at this. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:20
  - Amen. It was a literal strikeout pitch. -- nm - David Apr 8, 15:16
  - Leaned into an off speed pitch with an armored elbow -- nm - JD Apr 8, 15:16 1
    - The ump failed in not seeing what happened and the league failed in not accounting for these things in the review. The ump was about to call - Krusty Apr 8, 15:26
