I loved HIMYM when it was airing. I feel like people gloss over just how bad the entire last season was. After watching that show from day one I quit halfway through the last season, with the intention of just binging it once it was done. Then I heard about the ending. It was such a guy punch that I will never rewatch it, not even the early seasons. I’m sure that is why it doesn’t have the staying power of shows like the Office and Parks and Rec that you can watch over and over.
That’s not uncommon. I know a bunch of people at Microsoft who use macOS, and they aren’t just graphic designers. I’ve been on calls with people from the Azure team, PowerShell team, C# team, and even the server OS team that we’re using macOS.
I worked in munitions in the US Air Force. Anything to do with bombs and missiles in movies is the worst for me. No you can’t outrun a blast. No, a plane cannot just do a barrel roll and have a heat seeking missile fly past it. They also don’t follow your exact path. They use proportional navigation to basically find the shortest path to you.
Sabrina the Teenager Witch - the one from the 90s. It’s super corny but my daughter loves it, so we watch an episode or two after dinner.
I have 6 programmable keys on my keyboard. I have macros for a few snippets that I have to type a lot and my email because my company has a stupid long name that I’m sick of typing out.

My babysitter was watching a movie where a lady in a car caught on fire and burned to death. When a guy opens the door her burned body lunges at him. Thankfully his sister made him turn it off so I didn’t see anything else. But it scared the crap out of 4 year old me. That night I couldn’t sleep and wanted to go to my parents room. But their room was at the end of this long hallway and there was a big hutch just before their door. Somehow my 4 year old brain was convinced that the “burned lady” was hiding behind that hutch. I was so scared I would not go near my parent’s room for months.
The Six Triple Eight - it’s a great story that I can’t believe I never heard before, some of the acting was great, but some characters felt forced. Like the sassy grandma or the mom worried about money. Or the friend with the potty mouth and the preacher’s daughter who always got offended. It really felt like they had a checklist of stereotypical characters to have.
I stopped watching about halfway through. I just couldn’t watch anymore after ::: spoiler spoiler the scene where she gets upset about the dog tags that ends with them just going, we’ll find his letters, then cut to swing dancing. :::
When the original came out I was a teenager who wore all black listened to NIN and was into comic books. In other words the perfect demographic for that movie. And I absolutely loved it. My friends and I would watch it all the time. I’ve continued to watch it and enjoy it throughout the years.
After seeing the first preview for the new one, I had zero interest in seeing. So much so, that I had completely forgotten about it again until reading your comment.
It sounds like I need to add this to my never watch list. Along with every single terminator movie after T2.
I just watched it for the first time last night, it was a fun popcorn movie and gave me a few good laughs. My only real complaint is that they shoved too many plot lines into the movie. They could have completely left out Delores, Jeremy, and Rory and it would have been just as good if not a better movie. Each was met with a such unsatisfying ending to their stories it felt like the writers didn’t know what to do with them either.
It depends, if I’m feeling cathartic then I’ll listen to something like Gary Clark Jr. - When My Train Pulls In
If I want to feel better then Electric Callboy - We Got the Moves
If I want to get angry then Off With Their Heads - Clear The Air
This pretty much mirrors my experience. The only thing different I saw was the assigned potential jurors group numbers. Each group was assigned to a particular courtroom/judge. If all the cases accepted plea deals they’d let that entire group leave. Most people were out of there by 10am.
Of course, I was assigned to the one case that did go to trial. The jury selection took the rest of the day. I was number 26, but enough people before me got eliminated, so I ended up on the jury. A couple of people after me did too.
The trial, for the most part, was insanely boring. It was for a DUI and vehicular assault, and the only reason it went to trial was because it was his 3rd strike. The first day we had to watch the entire recording from the police body camera from them arriving at the accident, to arresting the guy, driving to the hospital to get his blood drawn, and all the way to dropping him off at the jail. The only entertaining part was when the defense attorney put the drivers girlfriend on the stand. She started saying some bat crazy shit, and the defense attorney trying to cover for himself asked her if she had any mental health problems. This caused her to lose it and she started yelling and screaming at him.
In the end it was a great learning experience and gave me a closer look into the criminal justice system.
Same. Plus it had one of the best lines ever in a superhero movie
I’ve known you my whole life! I’ve seen you naked! You don’t think I would recognize you because I can’t see your cheekbones?
So much of the Vulcan culture is just exhausting.
The whole thing looks like it was designed by Stable Diffusion

The Panoz Roadster in Midtown Madness 2.
“Destroy him, my robots” from Impossible Mission on the C64.
It was the first videogame I ever heard talk. And full disclosure, 5 year old me, thought it said, “destroy him my-rin bolts”. It wasn’t until years later, my dad actually corrected me.
I tried watching ALF not too long ago. It didn’t really hold up. It was just okay. The humor felt flat and one note. I grew up watching it and even the nostalgia vibe didn’t keep me interested. Golden Girls on the other hand will still have me cracking up every episode.
