I agree, the heady sci-fi concepts in the books is what kept me reading but the story and the character were all off to me. I wonder if part of the issue is a translation issue and the fact that I am missing Chinese cultural references.   I am interested to see what this looks like on screen

Don’t forget about the role Burger Chef played in the Hardee’s empire. Still miss those burgers.

I used to love Hardee’s Cinnamon and Raisin biscuits. They have since left the area but when traveling, I’ve checked and I don’t think they make them anymore.   

I’m interested to see how this one will play out. IMO, the books have a lot of amazingly cool sci-fi/physics ideas in them, but are otherwise terrible in ways that might play into Benihoff and Weiss’ own storytelling flaws. Feels like it might well end up a mess, but probably quite an interesting one, and maybe the…

Nope. Hardee’s has had a very weird history in the Chicago area. They were here for years, but the franchisee that had exclusive rights to the territory went bankrupt and all of them closed. This was about 25-30 years ago. Hardee’s then tried to get back into the market 15 or so years ago and opened quite a few…

It’s a really fun show that has a lot of “Northern Exposure” in its bones.

TBH, the party has been this insane for a long time, just that it took Trump to bring the crazy out in the open in a much more public way.

How fucking pathetic on so many levels. Its outright pathetic that somehow that fat fuck is yet again running for president. Its pathetic that millions of Americans still support and will vote for him. Its pathetic how batshit insane the Republican party has become- and I say that as someone who is not exactly…

Grilled marinated cabbage steaks are amazing - just make 2-3cm slices of cabbage, a brief marinade in whatever feels right to you (I like a hoisin or teriyaki marinade, but BBQ or a vinegar-based Italian-style works well too) and throw on a well-oiled grill until you see a slight char.  Helps keep all the food in one…

I guess, if your car isn’t woke, then it’s a sleeper...

Are they trying to win over the proudly poorly educated group that will not change their views in the face over overwhelming science and research studies?

...immigrants commit less crime than citizens.

I have friends in management who still can’t find unskilled labor to hire, but when I suggest this...”CRIME CRIME CRIME.”

The U.S. needs workers to grow the economy and take care of our aging population. The answer is staring us right in the border. Just let these people in, and then put them to work and tax them. Oh noes, too many undocumented aliens in the U.S.??? Fuckin’ give them documents. This shit isn’t rocket science.

The problem with trying to be fair and see things from both sides is that it doesn’t work when one side is already full-on blaming the other side based on pure lies.

Or the joke could’ve been that she genuinely provided excellent service and the other servers were actually hilariously incompetent. A bunch of directions they could’ve gone besides “the lady has big boobs and guys like big boob ladies.”

Honestly, fuck Netflix for canceling SCD. Funniest show in ages. 

Yeah, definitely Santa Clarita Diet - great show.

+1 for Santa Clarita Diet, criminally underrated.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the critics and the Discourse didn’t seem to pay much attention to them, but in Netflix originals that have wrapped*, I’d give hearty endorsements to F Is For Family and Santa Clarita Diet.
