I live in San Diego and have spent a fair amount of time in LA and I think residential speeding is a pretty common practice in SoCal. We live on the main road that wraps around our entire hood, and I don’t think anyone goes less than 45-50 driving on it and I’m pretty sure the residential limit in CA is 25. It scares…

I live in San Diego which is a very purple city politically. There’s pretty equal numbers of lefties and righties in public, usually with no issues. But we have our outliers. I stopped wearing my mask when it was deemed “not necessary” by state health officials. I did eventually get COVID after an international trip.…

Lots of pedants and haters in here. I’m excited for this.  Let’s goooooooo.

#3 is egregious. Unless Emma has read all the scripts and knows something we don’t about the dialogue, being concerned about the writing from a few on-the-nose trailer snippets seems pointless. Trailers are for cool visuals and glimpses of main characters and actors.  I got hyped after seeing it!

As someone who is a hardcore Lord of the Rings fan, I’m so excited for the TV series but the absolutely horrific hate being spewed about every aspect of the show just from a couple of teaser trailers, especially in regards to people of color being cast, it’s exhausting.  Throw those people straight into Mount Doom.

The US is absolutely behind the times on efficiency at customs and security. TSA Pre-check is a life saver at our local airport for domestic flights, but international travel seems like a crap shoot!

I love Ted Lasso but this most recent season definitely doesn’t feel like comedy. Same with Barry. Holy shit that season was dark moment after dark moment. It probably had to be darker at some point knowing who and what Barry Berkman is and what he’s done, but whew, that was tough to watch sometimes.

Just came back from traveling abroad and let me just say: do NOT fly through Canada or on Air Canada right now, or possibly even for another year. They are understaffed and unprepared for people to be traveling again. Based on many accounts we heard, we were lucky that our bags made it to our destination and returned…

I don’t play mobile games because staring down at my phone for that long hurts my neck. Also the F2P and MTX world we live in now is scary. I work in the gaming industry and our customer service team gets calls daily from across the globe from people requesting that we either A) ban their payment instruments from…

This is probably more what I’m getting at. I know there’s some news floating around about in-development Star Wars games and movies that might be taking place thousands of years in the past. That sounds awesome. I want all things Skywalker/Obi-Wan to be wrapped up and done. We don’t need any more content around those…

I feel like I’m being punished for not watching all the cartoons or know anything about the extended universe. Boba Fett was okay, the Mandalorian is pretty great, but I don’t know anything about Ahsoka or Bane or the darksaber. They’re cool, but like....lets do some original shit here next time maybe.  Put us all on…

We weren’t big fans of Taika Waititi’s last movie, the irksomely huggable Nazi comedy Jojo Rabbit.

In the books it always seemed like Perrin was this guardian of Egwene and Rand’s love and eventual marriage. He doesn’t like Aram because Egwene is SUPPOSED to be with Rand. They bond over their escape from Shadar Logoth, and their time at the hands of the Whitecloaks, but it never felt romantic to me. It’s and odd…

I’m really enjoying watching this show with my wife who has not read the books and has no frame of reference for the content. She was legitimately shocked that Rand is the dragon because she does NOT like him as a character so far. I can understand why, they’ve toned down his teen angst in the show (same goes for all…

My wife and I did an 8 course menu at a Michelin star restaurant for our 5th anniversary and we wished we had done the 5 course menu instead. We were uncomfortably full afterward.  It was also shockingly affordable but I know that’s not always the case.

Okay so Star Wars is a massive universe that spans thousands of years and has so much canon to draw from…do these game devs just hire the same consulting firm to come in and say “Nah, unless you got connections to Skywalker or the original 3 movies, and cameos from original fan favorite characters, this shit isn’t…

Burnham is by far the worst character on this show. Not because of Sonequa Martin-Green or her abilities as an actress, but the plot lines for her are just always the same. She’s not ever really allowed to truly fail at anything completely. She might fail at first, but then she’s always the hero in the long run. It…

I said the same thing (“I haven’t seen anything weird yet”) to a friend who was complaining about getting into a game where someone on the enemy team went 30-1. Last night the only game I played was with a guy on the enemy team who went 25-0. Coming across him on the map was instant death. I think there’s a less than…

I liked the episode and I like the show but man they are recycling stuff over and over again. That whole first 10 minutes was basically the exact first 10 minutes that happened in Star Trek: Into Darkness. Including the same overhead camera shot of running through a forest. And them jumping off a cliff only to be…

I work in the gaming industry and have seen the highs and lows, but the lows in my world have been nowhere near as horrific as what the victims of workplace abuse and harassment have experienced at Ubisoft and Activision-Blizzard. I think this email is a solid warning shot across the bow. Hopefully Microsoft will do…
