It is very very close to The Wire as "Best Televison Program Ever". I think it edges Omar just a little.

Miles better than The Pacific. I have hopes for the 8th Air Force miniseries.

True Detective season 2 in 2 weeks. :fap:

It looks like HBO has a fair crop of shows coming up. I'll give Ballers a try just 'cause The Rock, and who knows about the Jack Black-in-Iran one, might be funny, might blow, gonna give it a try though.

the pacific was just too goddamn depressing and dark. i mean, yeah, they worked hard to portray how awful that campaign was but jesus, at the end of the day it's still supposed to be somewhat entertaining, not ' tropical schindler's list.'

also, it helps if your characters actually have some kind of charisma.

if you read the books it was based on, they made it about 1000x more lighthearted. the books were some very grim and nasty stuff.

exactly. it's not like band of brothers pulled any punches, especially with the shelling of the ardennes or finding the camps, but they at least filled the gaps with people that weren't turned into robots after the first ground assault.

Older goon couple aspiring to parenthood with no savings asks BFC for financial advice. When told "you have to stop buying literally every piece of Star Wars merchandise in existence [not an exaggeration btw, this is the husband's stated goal]," futuremom says "that is not an option" like they were telling her to shoot her dog.

This whole phenomenon of "accepting and loving yourself as you are" as an excuse to avoid change seems like a new thing. 10 or maybe 20 years ago, I can't imagine some dumb bitch saying things like this completely shamelessly:

1. goon: "Selling things is not an option because it pains me to give up possessions."

2. coworker: "Books are so boring!"

3. another really fat coworker: "I have such a sweet tooth, put a tub of chocolate ice cream in front of me and I'll eat the whole thing haha!"

4: same as #2: "I get soooooo drunk on the weekends but I drive anyway. I feel like if you're already a bad driver, being drunk will make you worse, but a good driver just becomes an OK driver."

I've heard all of these in the last week.

The reason is that, at age 42, the husband is spending more of their income on toys, literal plastic toys for children, than any other category. And they eat out for every meal. To the point where absolutely nothing of an $8,000 paycheck is leftover each month. No retirement money, no savings of any kind except a nebulous and unspecified "trust" from the husband's parents.

oh yeah, I forgot, the reason they don't contribute to retirement accounts is that they "don't trust investments." right back to my point about shamelessly spouting stupid crap.

"I'm a hoarder and I refuse to save money. I need financial advice, but don't advise me to change either of those things because they're who I am!!!!"

Do you know how disgusted I'd be with myself if I had no retirement fund but at the same time I could feed, clothe, and house like an entire African village on what I spend on children's toys a month?

Back to cooking chat, I just made the best indoor steak ever. Brought out my cast iron to do it steakhouse style with an NY strip.

1. Heat skillet in oven to 500 degrees
2. Pat dry and season steak with S+P
3. Remove skillet, put over high heat on stove. Sear steak in skillet one minute each side.
4. Return skillet to oven with steak, flip after two minutes per side
5. Remove steak from heat and let rest under tin foil for five minutes

Perfect brown crust, sear line inside with medium rare middle. Ate it just like that with no sauce or anything.
