I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I could get on board with this. Both were amazing at their best and pretty mediocre at their worst. I’d love to see what Carpenter could have done with some bigger budgets. Although maybe the results wouldn’t have been as good. He seems like the sort of director where necessity breeds invention.
I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.
I’ll start. Apt next door is having a cockroach infected. 4 days ago, I was playing sims on my laptop, wearing my eyeglasses. Right lens got blurry, took off, huge cockroach was crawling across inside of lens. While I was wearing them. Freak out ensued.
I mean, I dont actually mind ads… within reason. But over the past few years I have watched less and less youtube content due to the ratio of ads to the actual bloody content I wanted to view....
We’ve tasted ad-less video entertainment and found it good. That said, for at least half a century OTA network TV required watching ads and most people didn’t care much because they didn’t have to pay cash for the service. I think many/most people have the capacity to tolerate ads to get what they want.

I’m not too picky with beer and am happy to try anything, from crappy macros to the local brew pub’s experiment with jalapenos. For me, these macro lagers serve the same function as soda but aren’t as sweet. They’re just something to wash down pizza or Chinese food while I’m watching a movie. Yes, there are “craft” sodas that cost a lot of money but Shasta is cheaper and gets the job done.
My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
If it’s the end of the evening and you’re 47 with no costume and driving a beatup Civic, I’ll happily dump candy in your backpack so that I don’t have it sitting at home tempting me to eat it.
I’ve been in Plus for quite a few years now. I used to be able to get it for $40 around Black Friday. That was an acceptable price. If I can get it for $60 this year I may re-up. There’s no way in heck I’m paying $80.
I’m not anti physical media; I buy Blu Ray discs because they offer a much higher bitrate than streaming. However with three people using my PS5, the convenience of not needing to swap discs outweighs the advantage of having a physical copy that I am highly unlikely to sell or lend.
My provider recently started offering a 2gbps plan for $30 more a month. I was tempted until I thought about the money I’d need to spend on new equipment to take advantage of it. 1gbps fiber is plenty for now.
I’ve been trying to get my family name .com for years. I have no plans for it but neither does the current owner. They either paid for like 15 years in advance or they just keep reupping. I am not willing to make them an offer since I want it for the bare minimum.
