Random Thoughts That Don't Warrant Their Own Thread 2020

Whew. That Sterling A thread was a trip.

Feel like I need a cigarette or something.

 

did your place get hit last night?

 

I could watch vids like this all day

 

Fantastic and agree.

 

Just started watching The Crown, I’m finding it hard to enjoy, as I have zero fucking empathy for any of these royal twats.

 

who says you are supposed to empathize with them?

 

Well, I’m only through episode 2, but showing Elizabeth lovingly stare at Philip after he mocks the natives bothers the fuck out of me. The general tone damn sure isn’t mocking her troubles ascending to a fucking ceremonial position where she lives off of the commoners and colonial subjects

 

It’s a modern British interpretation of Gone With the Wind

 

I think it’s well done. Fwiw they absolutely do not paint them in a good light throughout the series. I enjoy the historical aspects of it and just how fucking crazy and delusional the entire premise is. Then there’s this like mad men type of inter personal dynamic they just nail. I get it if it’s not your thing but just my two cents in terms of watchability for you moving forward.

 

I need more of these

 

Eh. There’s a lot of social commentary. It’s not really glorifying the royal fam.

 

Same. Also when they have experts critique movie scenes. She does one where she takes about spies where make up and disguises.

Alex Honnold critiques rock climbing ect.

 

i just went back and re-watched that scene. They could not make it any more obvious that philip was being a jackass, and elizabeth glares at him, and corrects him. Ominous music plays, and the native chief stares at him

i don't think it glorifies the royals at all, it makes them look like a bunch of arrogant, insular, barely-human sociopaths who are brainwashed from birth.

Elizabeth sort of gets better treatment, but its clear she bounces back and forth between normal human and royal drone.

 

I like to look up the actual events on Google after the episodes so I can learn and see just how accurately they portrayed them

 

Just watched Snowpiercer for the first time. That was...intense

 

Would it kill Kelloggs to put frosting on more than 60% of the Pop Tart?

 

So I have to work today. Friday’s are always our slow day under normal conditions. Two of our four departments are closed. The third closes at lunch. What the fuck was even the point of opening at all?

 

That unfrosted 40% is their margin.

 

Shareholders need another place in Cabo

 

Kellogg stock finished green today. There's no justice.

 

Etsy calls today

 

You making Christmas gifts?

 

I definitely thought I was posting in the investing thread

 

I thought you sold on Etsy and the Black Friday rush "calls" were rolling in.

Either way then

 

Little man got a bag of mini pop tarts a few days ago and over half of them had zero frosting

 

Bobson Dugnutt

 

Kinda like Bobson Dugnutt

 

Man, I really want to change my name to Todd Bonzales

 

Had to

 

Must have been a big 1985 Bears Fan

 

Enjoy your tears:

 

Todd Bonzales

 

Dwigt? I see Michael Scott is a 90s Japanese baseball video game fan.

 

MIKE TRUK

 

Ed's brother RIP

 

Glenallen Mixon is a name I'd use for a QB on NCAA14

 

i didn't serve 5 tours in the war on christmas to endure this level of disrespect toward the lexus december to remember sales event.

 

I don’t care what you call it as long as there are comical bows on every car.

 

I did not know this.

 

Sounds like they got it wrong by two days and he should have run!
