      - Yeah. Get right on that, Krusty -- nm - con_carne Oct 8, 22:58

- The Goonies -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 22:22 1
  - Goonies never say die. It’s certainly a huge inspiration for my own writing. Love the kids talking all over each other in that one. So realistic. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 22:55
- He helped write Gremlins 2 so that’s my answer. It is currently streaming on Peacock. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 22:18
Friday Night Thought: You Spin Me Round gets all the love, but Brand New Lover is the better song. -- nm - Dano Oct 8, 22:05
The writing on the American version of Ghosts is … bad. -- nm - Mop Oct 8, 21:51 6
- Turns out the 1 hour premiere was 2 half-hour sitcom episodes. This show is not good. - Mop Oct 8, 23:14 2
  - They changed it from the BBC version? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 9, 04:12 1
    - Haven't seen the BBC version although I have it queued up on HBO Max. I assume the Americans too liberties. -- nm - Mop Oct 9, 05:58
- I haven't watched it, but I saw a few minutes in the background yesterday. Are you sure it's american? It looked like a CBC joint. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 21:53 2
  - Yeah, definitely no Canadian vibe to this. -- nm - Mop Oct 8, 21:59 1
    - Well, I couldn't hear it, so mostly I mean in terms of costumes and sets. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 21:59

California makes “stealthing” — the act of removing a condom mid-coitus — illegal. -- (link) - Qale Oct 8, 21:34 2
- My immediate question was whether it applies to both men and women - seems it does. -- nm - Meg Oct 8, 21:55 1
  - It does. How it can be determined to have happened and thus enforced is a thing, but it should be on the books as sexual assault for sure. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 22:19
Drew Magary wrote a book about his sudden brain hemorrhage (which caused him to fall, fracturing his skull. He’s lucky to be alive.) -- (link) - Tim Oct 8, 21:32
Damn cat just stepped on the power strip that feeds my electronics. Took down the whole system :( -- nm - Meg Oct 8, 21:04 1
- the puppy jumping up on my keyboard made all my tabs and tool bars go away for a couple days, had to reboot to get them back -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 8, 21:29
AEW Friday night show isn’t doing well. It needs to move off Friday. I’d love Dynamite head to head against RAW on Monday. Rampage to Wednesday. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 20:48 6
- AEW has a real chance to beat Smackdown next week. It's on FS1. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 8, 21:41
- I don't think it's doing poorly. - the wrong element Oct 8, 21:11 2
  - It started out with a bang, but ratings have fallen every week since. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 21:32 1
    - That also corresponds to the start of football. - the wrong element Oct 8, 22:06
- They should find an excuse to have Dynamite one Monday night, because they'd win. -- nm - Tim Oct 8, 20:49 1
  - Khan just tweeted about the Smackdown overrun, so it might be coming sooner than we think. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 20:55
Yay Red Sox! But: -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 8, 20:07 [Backboard]

- do they ad both of Sliwa's parties for 1 total? -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 8, 20:48 4
  - Yes, we have fusion voting here so all the votes will count together. - ty97 Oct 8, 21:13 3
    - It's why, if I'm voting for the Dem candidate, I vote on the WFP line (if they have the WFP line). - ty97 Oct 8, 21:14 2
      - I do the same but there won't be one this year. -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 21:24 1
        
        I wonder if I can vote for the blank WFP line..... - ty97 Oct 8, 21:29
- I support the Kid Nation party. - Qale Oct 8, 20:31
- You’re delirious. Go back to bed. -- nm - Mop Oct 8, 19:42
- Telling that there's nobody under the WF banner. -- nm - Tim Oct 8, 19:32 3
  - (The Socialist and Lib candidate wants to cancel ALL rents *and* mortgages but doesn't quite explain how that will work) -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 19:34
  - That's true for every race on my ballot which I find odd. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 19:33 1
    - Here's why and it's ridiculous... -- (link) - Krusty Oct 8, 20:00
Word -- (pic) - spamlet Oct 8, 19:12 [Attachment] 1
- ouch. - znufrii Oct 8, 20:54
Investigators now say the possible anchor strike of the pipeline may have happened months ago. -- (link) - Meg Oct 8, 19:09

Uhhhhhh. "Ma'am, you're wearing pants." -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 8, 18:57
Apple: "We won!", Also Apple: "We're appealing!" -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 8, 18:54 1
- Epic won where it counted. Apple had to allow 3rd party payments. But Apple feels the law shouldn’t apply to them. -- nm - Mop Oct 8, 19:57
Apple renews Foundation for season 2 (adding link) -- (link*) - Beaker Oct 8, 18:53 5
- I should bloody well hope so. -- nm - mud Oct 8, 19:19
- Excellent! While it's fair to say that I'm not as engrossed as I am with The Expanse, it's still quite interesting & entertaining for me. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 18:54 3
  - watching that teaser on the BBs had me thinking .. - mud Oct 8, 19:25 2
    - Exactly! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 19:28 1
      - tonight's Foundation (episode 4) is very cool. -- nm - mud Oct 8, 19:34
The quiet part isn't very quiet anymore -- (link) - TWuG Oct 8, 18:47
Apparently John Smoltz is also not a fan of metrics and shifting. - spamlet Oct 8, 18:42 2
- Heh, I was pretty sure we've talked about this before, but someone who hates baseball shouldn't be in the booth. -- (link) - Tim Oct 8, 18:48 [Backboard] 1
  - If I was MLB, I’d be *pissed* - spamlet Oct 8, 18:59
This story is bonkers (thread) -- (link) - ty97 Oct 8, 18:28 2
- I used to get emails about Later Skater suggesting such places like the one described in it didn’t exist. That adults do not act that way. They do. -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 20:35
- number of times I said "godf'ingdammit" reading this: I lost count at about 8 - prayformojo Oct 8, 18:45
Now I want pizza. Thanks Spawn and Will :/ -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 17:56 16
- I had Outback. It was *not* up to their usual standards :( -- nm - Meg Oct 8, 18:44
- It's Friday, why would you have anything else? -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 18:10 5
  - I had a nap for dinner instead -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 18:14 4
    - Do you feel any better? -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 18:56 3
      - getting there, still sleeping a lot though. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 19:06 2
        
        Hopefully that's the worst of it. Any respiratory issues? Breathing okay? - Krusty Oct 8, 19:09 1
        
        He's not answering because he's too busy kicking COVID's ass. -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 04:58
- It's Friday so we're having dominos -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 17:58 1
  - Chicken Taco pizza -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 18:05
- Don't blame me. I mentioned Sbarro. Krusty will tell you outright that's not pizza. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 8, 17:57 6
  - I had Sabarro on Wednesday. They’ve cut back on the cheese and pepperoni. Also, it originated in New York so… -- nm - Qale Oct 8, 20:38
  - Yeah, but he thinks New York pizza is, so... -- nm - The Allfather Oct 8, 18:36 2
    - How many people go to your city for the pizza? -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 19:11 1
      - Kim and I do! -- nm - David Oct 8, 22:51
  - It pretends to be pizza though which brings actual pizza to mind. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 17:58 1
    - Maybe I'll order a pie (or two, why not) from my local place and have them leave it my apartment door tomorrow. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 17:59
"Toronto, Tokyo, Singapore, Copenhagen and Sydney have topped a list of the world’s safest cities in the wake of the Covid pandemic." - prayformojo Oct 8, 17:53 1
- As far as just covid policy goes, Sydney is pretty clearly the worst Australian city. -- nm - mafic Oct 9, 06:29
Krusty, we are getting rid of Columbus Day because Columbus was a rapist, a colonizer (and all the negative connotations that term carries) -- (edited) - TWuG Oct 8, 17:26 27
- Yeah, I know all that. I said it should be replaced. I'm not arguing that we should still celebrate Columbus Day. - Krusty Oct 8, 17:29 24
  - I read what you wrote and it said "taking a day away from people". It's replacing the subject of the day, not taking the day away. -- nm - TWuG Oct 8, 17:40 23
    - It was started for Italian Americans/immigrants who are the ones that have celebrated it the most from the start. Columbus sucks, we all know that. - Krusty Oct 8, 17:48 12
      - Counterpoint: Columbus was a giant douche canoe who stole a continent, it's only fitting that his "holiday" be taken back. Give the Italians a new day - Beryllium Oct 8, 18:00 3
        
        Yeah, that's what I said. I said he sucks, I said replace the day. -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 18:05 2
        
        I just found the Jason Kidd thing independently, and that's such an amazingly stupid joke taken to such a wonderfully dumb place. -- nm - Reagen Oct 8, 18:18 1
        
        Right? I had way harder of a laugh than I probably should have. - Krusty Oct 8, 18:56
      - I think part of the point is that the Indigenous Peoples were here first. -- nm - . Oct 8, 17:51 1
        
        Okay so give them their own holiday on their own day. I don't see why that would be an issue. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 8, 17:55
      - Can we pin down who popularized pizza in America? Give it to that guy. -- nm - Reagen Oct 8, 17:50 5
        
        Mr. Sbarro? - Will Hunting Oct 8, 17:53 4
        
        Mama Sbarro! -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 17:54 3
        
        Sorry, you're right. If it's Italian, it's Mama's -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 8, 17:55 2
        
        That's not as true as you would think. -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 18:04 1
        
        You 'bout to get smacked with a long-handled spoon. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 8, 18:05
    - Columbus Day has become a celebration of Italian-Americas for many, so it takes the day away from Italian-Americans is my understanding. - ty97 Oct 8, 17:47 9
      - Sbarro's Deep Dish Pizza Day! - Cuzzin Todd Oct 8, 18:01
      - We need to add a national German-American day, Scandinavian days, a more general African-American day, Asian days, and so on. -- nm - . Oct 8, 17:53 5
        
        Come to NY, we celebrate all of them and many more. Everyone gets a parade here, it's kind of awesome. I'm fine with more holidays for more people - Krusty Oct 8, 17:59 2
        
        Narional days, not city days. We've got German-American day and Pulaski day. -- nm - . Oct 9, 04:50
        
        So. Many. Parades. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 18:15
        
        We likely already have them FWIW -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 17:54 1
        
        Germans get an entire month; just a wrong one. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 8, 17:54
      - Exactly -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 17:48
      - This. Especially the IM. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 8, 17:48
- reminder -- (pic) - Tim Oct 8, 17:28 [Attachment] 1
  - They thought he unusually extreme in this *at the time* - Reagen Oct 8, 17:36
::goes to pickup curbside pizza from new place:: (jump to last para if bored) - Spawn Oct 8, 17:14 6
- woo pizza! -- nm - Tim Oct 8, 17:30
- Free pizza! Glad you got the card back -- nm - Krusty Oct 8, 17:19 3
  - You get your choice of topping! That's good. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 8, 17:29 2
    - The toppings contain potassium benzoate.. that's bad. -- nm* - Krusty Oct 8, 17:32 1
      - Better than pineapple, right? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 8, 18:12
- Lol. Unintentional first. -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 17:14
