I feel like that was generally true of a lot of restaurants. I can’t remember the last time I went to a Chinese restaurant for a sit down meal, but we do take-out once a week, but that was a regular part of my childhood.

I came to add this suggestion too. Sky Captain was WAY ahead of its time, and it continues to have a style that is unique. The special effects hold up remarkably well. Compare it to other green screen movies of the day and you realize how good it is. 

One of the most haunting and effective musical moments I’ve ever experienced was in Red Dead Redemption, when you enter Mexico for the first time and Jose Gonzalez’s music begins to play. It is the only time a song does that in the game and, to my knowledge, you never hear it again. It made the moment feel special and…

So good. 

Yeah, I honestly don’t mind the dying. A game is allowed to be hard (and I’ll admit that maybe it isn’t so bad if you are a dark souls player, but I generally play first person games). But the loading times... not worth it. 

I’ve been playing this game for a week now and I find it infuriating. There are so many little design flaws that seem to be made just to insult the player. My main irritation is that a game that is designed to be difficult, or that expects the player to die frequently, should have a very quick respawn system. Instead,…

I had never had this until I married into a midwestern family. I love it.
My mother in law makes it with rice wine vinegar rather than regular white vinegar and it makes all the difference. 

I’d add Simon and Garfunkel’s version of Homeward Bound as it was performed Live at Carnegie Hall in 1970.

Madrid (Spain) doesn’t allow diesel cars into the city anymore in an attempt to reduce smog. There is an exception for commercial vehicles, but my mom had to sell her old VW and trade it in for a small Peugeot hybrid to be able to drive into work. 

I got excited to rewatch 3:10 to Yuma when I saw it on the list of movies leaving this month, but I can’t find it on Hulu. 

As a fairly scrawny nerdy kind of guy, I was annoyed at first to find out that Cavill is also nerdy. It seemed unfair for him to get to be a geek AND to look like that. But the more of these videos I watch, the more I’m just happy that a nerd got to grow up, play Superman and Geralt, and presumably get any girl he…

I have had friends who were really bad with money and Dave Ramsey’s overall philosophy of being wise with your money and not going into debt was really good for them.

“optimal” in relation to muscle size seems quite subjective depending on the person, tastes, and lifestyle. But I am having a hard time coming up with a better word myself.

Orc Lives Matter.

I came here to make sure someone said this. 

If you find Evangelical Christianity culture baffling (and often enraging) you should check out Good Christian Fun, where the two disenchanted hosts poke good natured fun at a different cultural products of that world (music, movies, tv shows, other...). It is more fun for those people who grew up with this stuff, of…

I can confirm this! Every guy I know masturbates and not a single one has gotten cervical cancer!

Jesus Was a Crossmaker by Judee Still is a great song that should be on this list. 

This list would have been more interesting if it had been about 22 Christian songs that are great. These are just secular songs, mainly, that happen to reference Jesus. Most of them aren’t even that esoteric. I would have been more interested in 22 songs out of the christian music scene that are great because it isn’t…

The “daycare run out of someone’s house” metaphor is really terrible. I don’t understand how paying someone to take care of your children at their house is some kind of con. You are paying for a service and are receiving that service in full. There are plenty of home daycares that are well regulated and follow state…
