Oh, and I really couldn’t get into that Please Don’t Destroy bit. It’s so rooted in early-20s self-absorption that I’m just way too old to relate.

So we finally got the Donald Trump impression you were looking for, and it was basically Donald Trump. Not a funnier or more heightened or more absurd Trump, just Trump. Pretty much the same one all his fans fell in love with, except mildly less misshapen and mildly more lucid.

You’re right on the legal issues, and seemingly the only one in the thread who knows that stuff.

Houston has a 3-foot ordinance, and drivers are supposed to change lanes where feasible. The state has had a 3-foot law come up for vote a few times, but it’s never passed.

Agree, but it’s not just a cop problem, it’s a society problem. Most drivers, particularly when they’re actually behind the wheel and driving, see the workd the same way.

“But I am a solid supporter of putting things on fries.”

You could also watch him change, almost in real time, and it’s was fascinating. His very first show (I forget which was calked what now), it was basically the ugly American abroad, thinking he was generally better than the places he was visiting. That condescension was later replaced with respect and admiration for…

Elf is hilarious, an all-time comedy. I love it as much as Ghostbusters (1984), which I did first see as a kid, in theaters when it first came out.

And I thought it was embarrassing to get fired for stealing boxes.

Come on. Any such list without Monster Mash is just trolling.

Yeah. I remember when Nightmare came out, I was in high school, and I really wanted it to be meaningful — at a minimum as thoughtful and with as much to say as frickin Edward Scissorhands and its critique of suburbia.

There’s no shortcut home.

“The unfortunately titled ‘Slutty Pumpkin’”.

Everyone gets the joke.

Meh, you make it sound like we desperately need a comedy that takes on class/labor issues, but haven’t watched the one that we do have.

If they’re not competing with ground coffee, then who cares?

Don’t give me your strawman comparison. It’s not that shipping water is “expensive”, it’s that shipping water is extremely carbon intensive.

My god, talk about low effort.

I have no problem with synthetic coffee, or synthetic anything, but I’m heavily skeptical that this is more environmentally friendly than ground coffee or beans given that they’re shipping a bunch of water and aluminum around the country.

Lemme know when there’s a method that doesn’t require a room triple the size of my bed, so I can stand there at the foot of my bed flapping something bigger than my whole damn bed without so much as grazing a lamp.
