Fanflix has two terrific movie deals right now. Here's four horror movies (some in UHD) for $20... -- (link*) - The Allfather Oct 20, 11:37 6
- oooh, Banana Splits Movie! -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:40 4
  - That movie is straight up bonkers. - Dark Callisto Oct 20, 11:41 3
    - vs teletubbies? -- nm - Beaker Oct 20, 11:47
    - I'd watch that. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 20, 11:42
    - I was just thinking along the same lines! -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:42
- And here's two UHD blockbusters for $10. It includes A Quiet Place II as an option! -- (link) - The Allfather Oct 20, 11:39

I wouldn't really want to buy a retail business, but this one is ever so slightly tempting. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:35 2
- This one, however, is a big WTF -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:36 1
  - That's cold. -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 20, 11:44
Apparently there's a story going around about Manchin switching parties -- (link) - ty97 Oct 20, 11:20 16
- He's drunk with attention, fetted at the WH, limos to the news studios, as soon as he switches He's nobody, and McConnell gets the gavel.... -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 20, 11:35
- Dem activists are doing their best! -- nm - spamlet Oct 20, 11:25 12
  - What's your suggestion then? Don't push for important things in case we risk Manchin having a fit? -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:34 11
    - You can push for important things without railroading other, already decided, important things. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:40 6
      - And they aren't pushing fringe things. They are pushing things the majority of Americans support. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:43 1
        
        They are plenty of things most people in the U.S. want but won't pass through Congress. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:47
      - You can't though. You need leverage to push things. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:42 3
        
        Yes, you can. There are other ways to push. They just chose the nuclear option. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:44 2
        
        I disagree, there's no way to push otherwise. And your IM could speak to Manchin too. He and Sinema are *also* a minority of the party. - ty97 Oct 20, 11:46 1
        
        Push =/ 100% get what you want. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:49
    - First I’d stop framing his opinions as “having a fit”. That works almost as well as “calm down, you’re getting hysterical.” - Will Hunting Oct 20, 11:40 2
      - I meant if he were to actually threaten to leave the party, that would be a 'fit'. Spammy suggests Dem 'activists' should walk on eggshells -- nm* - ty97 Oct 20, 11:42 1
        
        There's a difference between "walking on eggshells" and actively trying to push people out of the party. - spamlet Oct 20, 11:53
    - (FWIW, I don't think he's switching nor do I want him to switch, but the man needs to reassess some priorities) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:38

Oh, right, this event is going on. Guess I'll miss it. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:06
the bourbon I tried last night for the first time was yummy. Best without ice -- (link*) - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:04 [Backboard] 2
- Way too sweet for me, it's about 10% maple syrup, but it's good, crisp flavor, and know Creek is good bourbon -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 20, 11:47
- Saw that in the store once and was wondering if it was any good. Thanks -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 11:22
PayPal is in late stage talks to buy *checks notes* Pinterest? -- (link) - spamlet Oct 20, 11:01 1

This thread is an utterly stupid waste of time, but it amused me so I'm linking it anyway. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 20, 10:52
I was promised falafel! -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 10:52 6
- Mmm…falafel. -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 11:29
- Hot take: falafel sucks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 11:14 4
  - Then you've never had good falafel. -- nm - spamlet Oct 20, 11:25 1
    - I'd agree. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 12:01
  - Hottest of takes: Shut your mouth -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:23 1
    - If you're trying to put a falafel in it I definitely will. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 11:24

  - The state motto is "Only one syllable!" -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 20, 10:52 4
    - I believe it's "Just one syl" -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 10:52 3
      - Ironically there is a state motto that is one syllable, but it's not Maine. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 20, 10:59 2
