I read a quarter of the first book in 1992, fell asleep and left in in the seat back of an airplane. And literally never thought about it for second since. It left zero impression on me.

I read it as an early teen, and while I love fantasy as a genre, I somehow skipped a lot of the classics. So the Wheel of Time was a breath of fresh air to me, since I had no idea just how much it was cribbing from other series. It was weird watching LotR and seeing how similar the initial set up was, or the Dune…

I mean, we already know she's in the chibnall finale next year

Nobody will disagree re real ammunition, but of course it was an actual gun, that’s how you fire blanks. There are prop guns with complicated mechanisms which are programmed to shoot flames from the barrel to simulate blanks, but I’m going to go ahead and assume this production couldn’t afford them.

How would this be intentional sabotage? That's such a ridiculous take on what happened. 

Everything you’ve said pretty much lines up with my experience... until some late-grade bugs/poor design choices started kicking in. Bugs like “suddenly invincible enemies,” and design choices like “Level 50 cap you’ll hit very quickly, with no way to do a do-over on your attributes, so if you wanted to be able to…

Wheat, rice & corn Chex, peanuts (or “fancy” mixed nuts if we were going to take it to Granny Casey’s), lots of Worcestershire sauce. butter, seasoned salt, garlic or onion powder, pretzels. This is how we did it 50 years ago and ever since. I don’t think bagel chips or rye crisps even existed then where we lived!

Yep. I tend to agree with about ten percent of his talking points. You are right about the quality of most of his guests. Others are also right on the levels of smug. He puts so much off that I crack a window when watching, just to make sure it doesn’t displace the oxygen in the room.

I also quickly learned that Saga Frontier wasn’t the game for me. It was pretty much for the reasons pointed out in the article. Seemingly random difficulty in each battle. Never knew where to go. My little brother liked it though.

Walmart employees I know are asked to park at the far end of the parking lot. 

Things might be different in different areas but I’ve never worked at a store that didn’t have employees enter through the front.

I said something similar when the trailer came out. That it looked like it was going in it’s own direction and would not just be a Harvey Birdman retread. I see the original show as good thing, but concluded. A spinoff should be trying something different.

don’t know, could care less.  what’s it going to hurt right?  

Bitcoin aside, I image most Chipotle consumers will type out 60 random numbers for a free burrito. Don’t they usually do some kind of game every year? 

It has never been soothing to me to think it’s all a plan (whether it be God or some other entity.) Quite the opposite, actually. If God’s plan includes as much horror and pain and trauma and fear that we have in the world, that’s a vicious god and I want no part of him.

I think there’s a place for “ummm...” and it’s one of those things that’s hard to explain but feels right when it’s used.

Batman is a rich white guy who physically beats down criminals with buy in from the local cops. Neither Bruce nor Bats has healthy relationships with women. Couldn’t get much more racist or sexist without being obvious. 

IT WAS SO TASTY!!!!!!

There was and it kicked ass.

pretty sure burger king had a whopper wrap to
