I love the Wu Tang show way more than I expected to and I had high hopes going into it. Sure, I'm biased but it's so well done from the acting - Krusty Sep 22, 08:49
I feel stupid for watching and linking this, like a total sucker for an obvious staged stunt, but I'll link it anyway. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:48 1
- I mean, it's either staged or irresponsibly stupid. I suppose both are equally likely. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 09:10

      - How are you making it through Lucifer? The first few episodes were sooooo painful, I have yet to go back. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:55 2
        
        heh, I found the first 2 dragged alot; but I watched 3-5 2 nights ago and 6-8 last night. really picked up nicely -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:56 1

  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 22, 08:18
  - indeed. -- nm - mud Sep 22, 08:16
  - and Secrets. Like what other secrets do Dumbledore have? -- nm - budice Sep 22, 08:14 13

      - Making Alchemy Great Again? -- nm - VMan Sep 22, 08:40
    - Member of Hair Club for Men. -- nm - VMan Sep 22, 08:34

Biden's current approval rating per Gallup: 43%. Other presidents at this time in Year 1 - Strongbad Sep 22, 08:03 7
- I have no problems with Afghanistan. My primary concern is how we're treating the southern border issue. It's not all that different from kid-cages. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 09:05 1
  - Though I imagine a lot has to do with Abbott, of course. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 09:05
- I'm curious to see if the Afghanistan drop will be short or long term for him. I do see his approval inching back up slowly over the next few months. -- nm - Inigo Sep 22, 08:17
- eek -- nm - mud Sep 22, 08:10 3
  - Considering half of republicans do not even believe he is a legal president, that is actually better than I expected. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:12 2
    - It’s about what I’d expect. He’s lost most of the middle ground who tentatively backed him. Afghanistan was a killer. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 08:13 1
      - I was happy to see it break 40. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:20

- I'm a little torn this week. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 22, 08:25 4
  - Either CAR or NYG for me. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 22, 09:16
  - Detroit. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:34 2
    - Certainly an option. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 22, 08:35 1
      - Then again, either the Falcons or the Giants are a guaranteed win. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:36
I've enjoyed the first few episodes of Squid Games so thanks to ST for the recommendation. - Krusty Sep 22, 07:52 4
- He seems to get better as it goes on. There is an actress who consistently has it dialled up to full Calculon though. Nm - ralph wiggum Sep 22, 08:46 1
  - spoiler - Krusty Sep 22, 08:50
- lol oh big time, he isnt great. - Jovian Sep 22, 08:27 1
  - You find out very early he's not good but it becomes funny as the show progresses. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 08:45
Transitory impact of the delta variant, or systemic breakdown of the global supply chain leading to economic crisis? Your guess is as good as mine. -- (link*) - znufrii Sep 22, 07:39 5
- I didn’t notice the byline at first. That tracks. -- nm - spamlet Sep 22, 07:59
- One of his scenarios talking about aging demographics and that part actually concerns me a bit (not in the short term, but looking forward) -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 07:47 3
  - It’s certainly food for thought. -- nm - znufrii Sep 22, 07:50 2
    - I don't want to sell and pay cap gains though :/ -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 07:50 1
      - I’ve got a new mattress I can sell you if you need somewhere to put it all. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 22, 07:57
I have like 8-10 pairs of Hobby/Craft Scissors laying around the house because I use them for a project then lose them. -- nm* - budice Sep 22, 07:31 3
- Dead Again 2: A Nip In The Bud -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 22, 07:38
- Sounds like you need a hobby/crafting box for your supplies. - Krusty Sep 22, 07:33 1
  - Using them on things I shouldn't? I have no idea what you're talking about. -- nm - Baron, trimming his toenails Sep 22, 07:40

deleting all of your reddit comments is surprisingly hard. even the nuker extension takes its time. - chicken daddy Sep 22, 07:11 10
- I found it super easy, barely an inconvenience. - Spawn Sep 22, 08:19 1
  - heh -- nm - mud Sep 22, 08:24
- Cache and Archive is one helluva drug to overcome. -- nm - budice Sep 22, 07:17 3
  - yah, the overwrite then delete method seems to be pretty permanent, but it's a time-consuming process, even scripted. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 22, 07:18 2
    - Can you parallelize it? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:13 1
      - oh, maybe. yeah. i'll check that next time i need to do this. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 22, 08:47
- There are a ton of people who do that. Delete comments rather soon after they've been posted. Most are using it to avoid troll detection though. - Qale Sep 22, 07:16 3
  - reddit has become a pretty horrible place...even the most benign subs get flooded with racists comments and posts (plus fascist content) - chicken daddy Sep 22, 07:20 2
    - Houston subreddit is unusable now. I'd blocked over a hundred accounts and it was semi-legible. But it's toast. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 07:27 1
      - richmond was the same.. nice community, friendly, got overrun last summer and those folks never left. the community is a gutter now. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 22, 07:37
Finished reading Ready Player 2. Nonspoiler thoughts inside. - Strongbad Sep 22, 07:09 1

The answer is: Only if you are Cason Wentz! -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 22, 07:04 [Backboard] 5
- I sprained both of my ankles within a few minutes of each other. I was at a taekwondo weekend retreat and was running through the woods when I rolled - Krusty Sep 22, 07:09 4
  - Nothing good comes from running. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 22, 07:12 3
    - Agreed. I only run to catch trains and buses these days. - Krusty Sep 22, 07:14
    - I agree -- nm - Bear That's Chasing You Sep 22, 07:12 1
      - I've learned from Cthulhu games to always run with a friend who's slower than you. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 22, 07:17
OK, now do the same Canadian music pool but for solo artists, excluding Drake, Neil Young, and Alanis Morrissette. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 22, 07:02 34
- Sarah McLachlan. Honorable mention to Paul Anka. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 07:48 1

  - Hello kitty, you're so pretty! -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 07:29 6
    - I have no qualms about liking her. A lot. - JaxSean Sep 22, 07:40 2
      - Her song with MOD SUN, Flames, has been stuck on my Contenders List since January 8th. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 07:54

    - Mina sako arigato -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 07:35
- Anne Murray! -- nm - Stewie G Sep 22, 07:27
- I can't believe there isn't one artist that I like enough to currently listen to their music. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 22, 07:13 10
  - I'm certainly not a Hip Hop connoisseur, but having listened to a lot of Canadian music the last 2 years I would say that their Hip Hop is lacking. -- nm - Dano Sep 22, 07:16 3
    - Which is rather surprising. Toronto should be able to produce some good artists and you'd think Drake would push others to want to do it as well. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 07:21
    - And their Francophone music is not good either. Alternative/Rock and Pop/R&B is strong though. -- nm - Dano Sep 22, 07:17 1
      - All downhill since Mitsou. -- nm - VMan Sep 22, 07:18

    - He was #1 on a list I saw and I hadn't even heard of him. -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 07:15 2
      - now I have earworm -- (link) - mud Sep 22, 07:18 [youtube] 1
        
        Sounds pretty good and I'm surprised it didn't get more airtime here back in the day. -- nm* - Krusty Sep 22, 07:25
- Deborah Cox, probably. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 07:13
- Celine Dion -- nm - MDH Sep 22, 07:11
- There's a bunch of obvious ones, Bieber, Mendes, Carly Rae... -- nm - Andie Sep 22, 07:11
- Leonard Cohen -- nm - Dano Sep 22, 07:10
- Weeknd is climbing fast for us. Like top 5, we like all of the songs he has released; also Drake SUCKS. -- nm* - Beaker Sep 22, 07:09 2
  - Gordon Lightfoot would get my consideration just for The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald alone -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 07:11
  - Yeah! Drake sucks! -- nm - Krusty Sep 22, 07:10
- Bryan Adams, Celine Dion -- nm* - budice Sep 22, 07:06

- Moist! -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 07:33
- I have seen them perform. But I own all four BV3 albums so obviously they're my clear favourites. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 07:09
- The Age of Electric! -- nm - mud Sep 22, 07:03
- "How do we get away from the pandemic? Let's go to Perth!" -- nm - AFL si Sep 22, 06:57 1
