I'm asking a general question. People get so dang mad about Stranger Things. At the moment I read your post, I read an article about the season 2 trailer, and people are all like "Sheeeet, is good but like NOT THAT GOOD DANG! gently caress! SO MANY PLOT HOLES!"

Link the article.

Looks like we are going Mexican actors over Pakistani. Is it plausible for a plane to crash over the gulf of Mexico?

If they were flying from Mexico to Florida it could happen.

A stupid FB comment-bait puzzle that tripped me up more than it should have. The answer is 15.

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
The problem with Stranger Things is that the story isn't nearly as good as the characters, but I suppose that's to be expected when the show relies so heavily on pastiche. I felt like the ending pretty well summed things up and I was hoping that maybe they were going to go with an anthology series type of thing instead of more or less returning to the same story. In any case the show is pretty milquetoast overall and if people didn't talk about it so much I probably would have already forgot about it.

I guess it still tripped you up because the answer is 90.

gently caress, I got tripped up too. It's 70.

I'm glad that the horrific violence that's plagued Chicago the past few years is prime material for both a non-satirical Robocop show and a laugh track sitcom.

I'm really curious to see the portrayal of Uptown - from what I've read they're talking about rapid gentrification and that's surprising to me. I moved into an apartment there in like August 2015 and as long as I've been here, it's seemed like a real shithole, albeit one where I can get the cheapest convenient apartment :shrug:

Two mistakes I initially made: adding before multiplying, and assigning 2 to fries. Fries is 1.

I did mention that I haven't used algebra since I was in high school. I feel like regardless of the answer we've all been tricked into talking about McDonalds.

I watched the trailer for Unironic OCP, how did nobody notice that the female officer that appears to be a lead character is wearing a name tag that says "Murphy"?

shake + shake + shake = 30 -> shake = 10
10 + burger + burger= 20 -> burger = 5
5 + fry + fry = 9 -> fry = 2
5 + 2 * 10 = 25

They gently caress you up by doubling up the fries in the first image they're featured.

That is a load of poo poo. You can't do that.

This is like, the FB puzzle version of the time McDonalds wanted to help their employees manage money better and had to include income from a second job because they barely play a living wage. It only makes sense if you assume we're cheating and putting in an unintuitive way.

gently caress McDonald's.

I finally went back to mcdonald's for the first time in months, and of course they gave me the wrong sandwich.

It was in a collection of snipped film frames, probably from a projectionist.

So the intro to Unironic Robocop is just play-by-play plagiarizing the beginning of the first Iron Man but instead of a car crash his black friend gets gutshot in a robbery when his actions make it worse so now it's the adventures of a white techbro privatizing the police to avenge his dead black friend and uggggggggggh.
