Okay, Mandalorian won me over. Slow start with a few hiccups but the Bounty Droid was fun and the reveal was neat.

Somewhat Heroic posted:How many shows are a complete lock for ‘incredible’ from the first episode. It’s not a movie here. You’ve gotta build a little exposition on the characters and whatnot. Not many. Counterexample: The X-files even in the first episode was locked in. I still find it amazing the Gillian Andersen was 23 when she started playing agent scully, girl has acting chops also that fox didn't really like Andersen in the role, as she "wasn't pretty enough"

Pretty sure you can get a 7 day free trial, so there's that. I was going to do that and texted the girlfriend who's at home today, and she said she already signed up for it. She's probably been wanting to watch old Disney movies, so

Oh hey sup guys A few snips later...  e: I'm down almost 25 pounds this year. Been running into low sugar issues at work a lot (again). Haven't taken my beetus meds at all today; I've checked my sugar 4 times today, every time in the 70s except for now (120, probably because I've had a few beers). Gonna call this year a bit of a win, health-wise. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Nov 13, 2019 |

After sleeping off the pukiness I also remember the walking dead being just a crazy first show. Probably helped it was supposed to just be a limited series. Besides, can you imagine how impossible it is to please the Star Wars fandom? Actors have quit social media over the vitriol and blowback . I’m glad that I can just watch a show about a galaxy far away and just enjoy it.

Thanks guys. My own mental self-image has been in the toilet lately, so the comments are a big help.The Door Frame posted:Ashy to classy, I like it, I think a short beard would be a good addition too. Grats on the health changes too! About a year ago:  I didn't realize how much of a difference the weight made in the face. I've lost an entire chin! Not gonna do a beard though. I hate shaving, but I just buzz off the facial hair once a week. And the hair is gonna be a work in progress for now - I've had an undercut for years, so the sides and back are still short. I need to let those grow back in and see what happens. I forgot how wavy my hair was, it was long enough that the weight of it made it look a lot straighter.

Got home after 24 hours of travel, kids immediately demanded to be chauffeured so they could check out night vision which apparently carries a lot of 7 year old cred. Powered peasant blockers were employed. We found and demolished a WRX, good times were had.

Avengers Endgame was the worst, I had to actively avoid the internet until I saw it and even then I had a pretty good idea that Iron Man was gonna die just by random people making comments not directly spoiling it but hinting at poo poo enough to figure it out

Some dude made a FB profile with spoilers in the profile that would show up if you moused over the profile name. I was wise to the game so I avoided it but he liked hundreds of my photos so I knew it was fucky.

How are they going to explain Boba Fett being the galaxy's best bounty hunter and him getting clowned in the movies? Aren't stormtroopers clones of his? The ones that are renowned for being terrible shots? What I'm saying is a lot of Boba's pull is "wow, he looks cool and has a jetpack!" dude's rotting in a sarlaac pit last I saw.

I like the fan theory that Fett is actually some random dude who found the real Fett dead and took his armor. That's why he gets clowned so hard in RotJ. As per the prequels, Fett is a clone of his father, Jango Fett. We don't know if he's a real Mandalorian. Only Clone Troopers are clones of Jango. Stormtroopers are generally normal guys who were recruited.

Don't even really remember when it was anymore because I haven't been to Warped Tour in a bajillion years, but at the end of their set the Bouncing Souls drummer hucked a stick way out into the crowd and me and some girl grabbed both ends of it. Of course, I was a true gentleman, and Godzilla07 posted:Man, headlight glare on the road feels so much worse today between poorly aimed factory LEDs (hi Toyota!), and all the lovely LEDs and HIDs jammed into reflector housings Yeah, my last car was a '16 Corolla with LEDs and I'd normally have at least one person a night flash their brights at me. Sorry!  I saw a dude bro in his dude bro Jeep this morning with blindingly bright LEDs replacing his headlights and a loving scorchingly bright center LED bar on. It was blinding me even though it was light out when I came across him. I really wish police would do something useful and ticket these dickheads with these LED lightbars. Speaking of vehicular annoyances, I had to fill up this morning, and the diesel pump at the station by my house must have been gelled up or something, because it kept shutting off as if my tank were full. It took me like five minutes standing in 16F temps to get a gallon into my car and I gave up, and I'm pretty sure I didn't even actually get any fuel because my range didn't change at all. I had a range of 5 miles by the time I got to work and went to fill up again on lunch at the only gas station within like five miles of my work. Except there was some dude in a giant work truck filling up at the diesel pump, blocking the only two, and he had a bunch of tanks out and poo poo everywhere, so I had to leave and go get my lunch and then stress out coming back to the gas station on my way back into work <  >
