Just heard someone refer to the king of Thailand as "Elvis," that's my official new euphemism for him BTW heading back to the BKK sometime in Sep/Oct

It's funnier if you've watched enough of the business rescue reality shows or event TV to pick up on the riffs he does on their tropes. Other than that, and the ideas which can be funny concepts, it's just cringe comedy and if you're not a fan of that you won't like the show. They lay on the discomfort very heavily, especially with the throughline of Nathan's journey to find companionship.

They lay on the discomfort very heavily, especially with the throughline of Nathan's journey to find companionship. Yeah, I mean, I like the idea of skewering reality shows, particularly business rescue ones that don't do anything of significant value to the businesses. I guess what makes it tougher for me to get through is that I don't like people who genuinely need help and are trying their best getting laughed at. It's one thing when it's Borat showing how racist or ignorant a lot of Americans are; it's another when it's people who I would normally be rooting for. But I'll give it another shot later today, and try to get in the right state of mind beforehand or whatever. (yaaaay bourbon)

I think the show goes too far with its victims sometimes, particularly in a recent episode where he had a mall Santa tell very young children that they were babies if they didn't own a particular toy as part of a business plan to boost sales of that toy. The episode from the first season where he gets mad at a cab driver for not memorizing marine biology trivia also wasn't great.

The Duolingo model doesn't really work for the more advanced/tricky parts of a language. You really need something to actually explain to you how things work. I can't say I've used it except as a toy though.

Joementum posted:you used to be able to start new threads in D&D too. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3656583  I thought about adding more sections trying to solicit more international participation and making a new bit about how at the very least you could sign up with your local government to be able to help prevent your town from becoming a hole in the ground in the event of an emergency but I don't think I ever saw a thread in D&D in the past 10 years that just got -no- response. The thought crossed my mind that goons just don't want to talk about things they could actually affect change in but I decided maybe my thread was just bad anyway.
