Agreed, I'm in the shower to get clean and get out asap, I don't find the process really enjoyable and would prefer to enjoy a cold beverage in a more comfortable location, preferably sitting.

It definitely is, when it was in the low 100s in los alamos with a strong breeze it was actually pretty nice, whereas anything above 75 in florida with 100% humidity is awful.

On one hand, I gotta love baby sinclair (he says so) but on the other, yeah he's pretty useless outside of his catchphrases.

The US version of The Office is better than the UK version, at least for the first few seasons.

Also Jim is by far the most grating character on the show and his relationship with Pam is lovely.

I had a similar "that's loving stupid" opinion of the shower beer.

Then I had a shower beer.

Now I love shower beers and enjoy them on the regular.

I can't explain it. I just can't but god drat if it isn't one of the best hings in existence.

Also Jim should have taken that punch from Roy like he deserved. You kiss a man's fiance, you take that punch if/when it's thrown. That's just fair play.

And I agree that Jim was a pretty big rear end in a top hat in that relationship, but they're TV people so.....eh.

edit:

Also the best episode was when Dwight kept hitting Jim with snowballs the entire episode. I actually think it was like a two part episode so it was even better. Just totally destroyed Jim for like 40 minutes.

Hanging out in 100 degree weather and going into a 70 degree house and drinking a beer is possibly the best feeling ever.
Air conditioning is fine when you have it, but it's really just relief, not comfort.

The only way to shower is with the water as hot as you can stand the whole time.

During our summers since we have no AC when it gets into the low 100s with high humidity I do the opposite - all the way to the cold for as long as I can because that will be the only time I'm at a comfortable temperature that day.

Seriously though I don't know how/why AC isn't a thing in apartments around here. Even if it's only a few weeks of temperatures that high or so, when it is hot it's just as bad as a florida summer. I guess it's also a dependency thing - take AC from a floridian for a few days during the peak of summer and they'll probably be calling 911, whereas germans mostly never had it (at home) so they are used to living like they are reenacting that rhino scene from the second ace ventura movie.

I'm sure this isn't an unpopular opinion here but Benedict Cumberbatch is a horrible Sherlock Holmes and the fan base is loving annoying (second only to the Dr. Who fan base). Besides, everyone knows Jeremey Brett was the best Holmes.

Sherlock is just a terrible show in general.

I watched like half of the first season and never found the point where it starts getting good. It's just a show that relies on the "it's a ridiculous cartoon about talking animals...but it's super serious sometimes" cliche.

As I say whenever this comes up, if you don't like a show in the first few episodes, it's almost never worth forcing yourself to keep going. I learned the hard way trying to find something I liked about The Wire. It just felt like work, not entertainment.

It's OK to not like popular shows.

I guess I'm just really surprised this is the show that everyone's been so enamored with. Like, calling it brilliant.
Usually I can rationalize why something's popular better than this.

Sherlock is Doctor Who for adults who are too embarrassed to admit they like Doctor Who but who don't realise why they should be embarrassed about it.

I thought the first season was just mediocre. If there's bits you like about it, it might be worth continuing, because it does get a lot better.

It is entertaining enough to me, but having seen enough of the latter, I think Elementary is the better adaptation of the two.

Re: the most recent season of Sherlock: if you want to do "Sherlock Holmes except he's Literally James Bond" you should just adapt Sexton Blake stories, because Sexton Blake is basically "Sherlock Holmes except he's Literally James Bond" already.

Bojack is great. Even if you find the first season a little middling, your enjoyment of it will actually increase by what comes later. It's a very well-crafted show.

And if you people are so bound and determined to drink in your bathrooms, just run a bath and make an evening of it, geez.

I'd say watch the Navy Seal episode of season 1 of Bojack to get a feel if the show is gonna be something you'll like. It's an alright show, and I usually get a good laugh once an episode, but I don't think it's as brilliant as most people on these forums thinks. They do say "gently caress" once a season to emphasize what ever big point is being made to Bojack, so if you think that is the height of expression and writing then have at it.

The first like six episodes of Bojack are Family Guyish. When it starts getting depressing (the Malibu episode) is when it starts getting good and unique. Even the Bojack thread in TVIV is lukewarm on the early episodes.

Temperatures above 70 F are ok I guess if you can lay all day on a beach chair drinking a cold beer and never have to move. Any activity more demanding than that would be more enjoyable at a chill temperature.

People who try and make every tragedy about them are the worst. I'm talking about people who, after something like the Manchester bombing, will say "oh poo poo, I drive by that arena once every few weeks" and get a bunch of "thank God you're OK" as if they were in any real danger.

The initial "I've been to that place!" reaction is completely understandable. In our modern techno dystopia, violence is completely removed from most people's lives, it's a thing on TV, it's not actually real. So when something from your reality is affected by the plot of the TV show called "the news" it's loving weird.

But yeah, the middle aged midwestern lady ten years after 9/11 telling people that she and her then-husband were thinking about doing a second honeymoon in New York that year, it could've been them on that plane! yeah gently caress her

I love it when there's some tragedy in a country and anyone who knows anyone in that country suddenly has to check to make sure the people they know are ok. "Oh my GAWD my cousin is traveling in england right now and I couldn't get through to him last night oh my god I hope he's ok!!!! No, he's staying in London, no he doesn't like that music, but a thing happened in england I have to make sure he's ok and make sure everyone on social media knows I'm worried about someone there!"

I can understand why there's a big hullaballoo about Manchester bombing etc, but that's an event that happens hardly every second day somewhere in "the middle east" and people are desensitised to the point it doesn't even rate a mention in most mainstream media.
