I was thinking about this the other day. Awhile back I was talking to my mom about, I think his name is Haberman? There was an article about him awhile back that, among other things, took issue with him doing ads for athletic greens. She said she doesn’t hold that against podcasters since they have to pay the bills like anyone else. The article’s issue was that, given his background, he would know better that AG1 is basically placebo - that to get the advertised benefits, one would need to drink a prohibitive amount. While I hate ads, I also like not paying for some things. I don’t care that Robert Evans does Better Help ads. He’s not a psychologist or psychiatrist, so I know he’s just reading ad copy to “pay the bills.” I would have a larger problem if the hosts of Maintenance Phase did this. They’re also not professionals in those fields, but they have researched them pretty extensively; so I would expect them to know better.

It alright. Trump will welcome this persecuted white guy with open arms.

You make it clear that you don’t like new things. You really need to recognize that this makes it difficult for your loved ones to buy you gifts. I’m old enough that I generally don’t want anything for Christmas or my birthday. I have enough stuff. What I want is time to spend with the people I love. That doesn’t mean I refuse gifts or complain about them, because a gift means that someone saw something that made them think of you; and they bought it for you to celebrate your relationship. So even if it’s a bad gift, it’s coming from a good place.

I know autofs will work with nfs. Never used it with SMB. I’ve used it on a share of /home to specifically mount /home/user as needed (e.g., at login).

The first movie was fun. The second was ok. I kind of see this franchise going the route of the Ocean’s movies. First one was really good, and they got progressively less good as they marched on. With the last one, they leaned into the humor to overshadow the lack of cleverness in the plot. I’m not sure Now You See Me has the star power to push mediocrity as far as Ocean’s did. Don’t get me wrong, I like the cast, and I really do hope they can put out something genuinely clever that showcases the talented cast they have.

Oh, I agree. I think the cat’s out of the bag on the general plot of this movie!

I’m vaguely interested in watching this, but I genuinely enjoyed watching Richard Dawson in the first one! Iconic role for him.

Went to watch an episode today and it started with an ad. Fucking Hulu/CNN. Time to hit the seas.

The Paper had its moments. I could see it getting better.

Shoulda posted in unpopularopinions. In this sub, it’s just stupid.

That really sucks. I did enjoy the show. His character was often very predictable, but I think the supporting cast really made the show.

Right!? Whole lotta shooting and death happening for a truce!

“Might” is doing some damn heavy lifting!

The crossover we’ve all been waiting for!

I’ve really enjoyed 4K77.

New Year’s Eve, a number of years ago. Wife and I went to a bar with some friends and rang in the New Year. I think she and I maybe smoked a pack between the two of us that night. Next day, both of us felt sick to our stomachs. Really nauseous, and just terrible. We didn’t get that drunk, so it wasn’t a bad hangover or anything. Anyway, just the thought of a cigarette made both of us even more nauseous. Flash forward a week, and neither one of us had spoken about not having smoked, and we didn’t want another cigarette. A week later, wife confirmed to me that she hadn’t had any at work. I said the same to her. Years later, we haven’t had any either.

Now we’re “ex-smokers,” who I think are the worst for smokers to be around. We’re hyper-sensitive to the smell and smoky rooms.

Ah damn. I really liked that guy!

Isn’t everything? /s

Yeah, we all need to be minority women of wildly varying income levels. Make the “great replacement” fuckers shake in their boots!

Wife just started Slow Horses, so I’ve been rewatching with her.
