Netflix’s top shows are the top shows for the same reason that TBS was surviving for DECADES with reruns of Friends, Seinfeld, Family Guy, and others. People want to watch these shows, especially to kill time. Now they can do it whenever they want, instead of when TBS wants them to.

I see you’re a man of culture as well.

It was a staple of the games on our computer lab bubble Macs in my K-8 school.  If you finished your typing lessons early (or whatever else they were teaching us) you got to play games!

People complain about microtransactions, but as long as they remain a viable revenue stream, gaming companies will do it.  So maybe stop buying them?

I usually hit the local grocery store around 1:30 or 2:00 on Sundays, and when the Patriots are on, it's bliss.

SNL isn't "too liberal" it's just lazy now. Most episodes this season are boring. The only good one was when John Mulaney hosted and he probably wrote the whole show himself. I got tired of them trotting out Alec in January 2017.  You're absolutely right about the content shares the morning after though. Most of the…

Fat is good.  Fat is flavor.  Fat is love.

I think we’re in agreement. Tofurkey = stupid and pointless and bad because it’s trying to be something else and it falls short in that, especially for people who like turkey as is. But like, soy nuggets or tofu, are good! They deserve their own respect and celebrations and complimentary ingredients! It’s a disservice…

Because the “replacements” don’t actually have the same taste and mouthfeel of the original.  Don’t try and sell me on a veggie burger that “I won’t know the difference” because it will always lose.  But do sell me on a veggie burger that celebrates the contents of that burger, and is enjoyable to eat.

A thousand times this. Vegan is fine, I like many vegan dishes.  But don't fucking imitate meat and cheese. 

I go through this with Overwatch. I get frustrated, I give up, I quit for a while. Usually there is another game to take my time. BotW, RDR2, ME:Andromeda, hell, even EUIV at times. But I have always gone back. Because I like the game. To crib from Clerks, the game would be great, if it weren’t for the fucking players.

Growing up, my family wasn’t poor according to the median income stats of the time, but we were not well off at all. My parents were house poor, and when they divorced, there was a long time where neither had money to spare. A staple of dinner at my dad’s was Rice-a-roni, because a pound of ground beef and a box of…

Yeah, I feel bad for the female gamers out there who don’t feel like they can communicate because of fear of harassment. Or maybe for people who “sound like” other oppressed groups, regardless of whether they even identify with that group. But as a white dude who’s never found reason to fear that myself, other than…

I would actually say DA2 wasn’t bad, but it was much more evident that they cut corners, especially with building the world. Limiting the story to Kirkwall (mostly) was disheartening after getting the world of Ferelden to explore. But in hindsight, it does a good job of teeing up the mage/templar schism. My real…

Crowlers are neat, and some breweries I’ve been to have switched over to them.

Unless you brew your own beer, or after lucky enough to live in a state that lets you bring your own growler, this shouldn't be a big deal. Breweries in New England all require you to exchange your growler for a clean one, they clean them in house.  

Anyone who holds up the trio of “salads” (chicken/tuna/potato) that are ubiquitous at cookouts as something you miss out on by skipping mayo is a knower only of trash foods, and all their opinions on food are moot.

I played only for a little bit on PC, but it definitely makes my tower run way hotter than other games.  I got worried because it’s only even been close to that hot on some particularly sweltering summer days when I don’t have any AC.  

I don’t even think she was fooled, I think Oprah, as a savvy businesswoman, knows a significant portion of her following is gullible enough to believe in this dreck, and will gobble up anything she hucks at them. She is just as complicit in this bullshit industry as anyone else, and I think she knows that, and doesn’t…
