I let down our system of government, the dreams of all those young people that ought to get into government but will think it's all too corrupt and the rest. Can you even imagine a politician being as earnest as this today? Also, man, Nixoncare.

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.

Tiggum posted:You don't have to do anything, but I am curious as to what instructions you'd give or what you think I've overlooked. Mu Zeta posted:Baths aren't lukewarm Like this dude said, you don't have to settle for lukewarm. You can open the drain and run more hot water in every so often. Also, bath pillows are cheap and pretty great, but you could use a folded-up towel to accomplish the same thing (i.e. something cushiony between your back and the edge of the tub). Set a footstool or TV tray next to the tub with snacks and drinks. Baths aren't for getting clean unless you're a small child; they're for relaxing and enjoying the feeling of being immersed in hot water. Throw some bubble bath solution into that poo poo. It's fun. If your bathtub is small enough that you'd describe it as a "cramped container", then there's nothing to be done for it, I guess! Also you're Australian so it's likely that you're like eight feet tall so I dunno, maybe just hit up a spa. oldpainless posted:You can teach me call the Learning Annex, my extension is 1885 and I give hands-on instruction

Please give me a call back at $NUMBER. Thanks." If they don't call back, you got a wrong number or they don't want to talk to you. People don't owe you their time.

I use Universal Media Server to stream stuff to my PS3 and man oh man, I've lost count of the number of times I've wished it just had a "random select" feature. Like, "pick one file at random from these specific folders" and you've got yourself a night of TV with all the choice paralysis stripped out.

I'm not sure how I decided that and still though it sounded good cause I'm pretty sure I knew it was related to candy Same here - I thought it was a cube of roast turkey coated in white chocolate (and I have no idea why I thought this, except maybe as a carry-over from all the snow imagery?), and I thought it sounded fantastic. Then again this was around the same time I ate an entire box of dog treats as an experiment so who knows

I don't think Red Dwarf is as funny as I thought it was twenty-something years ago, but I still think it's a pretty good "chill out" sort of show to have on in the background, especially if you're already familiar with the episodes. For purposes of comparison, NewsRadio (which also has a laugh track or studio audience or whatever) is just as funny to me as it ever was, and even when I have tried to put it on for background pleasure, it ends up commanding my attention, no matter how many times I've seen any given episode.

A post about The Blues Brothers in another thread prompted this train of thought: I really, really like Dan Aykroyd. I feel like most people don't, these days. It's absolutely true that he's been in some pretty bad movies - not even just, like, duds that were forgotten, but movies that were so bad they are in the Bad Movie Canon - and that he has, gradually, outed himself as a Aykroyd, man, he made his bones and he probably could honestly never move another muscle in his life and be perfectly well taken care of, but instead, he poured his windfall into being exactly who and what he wanted to be, which is, yes, exactly the sort of grade-A weirdo he liked to write about and portray. I am willing to believe every word that comes out of his mouth, because he has gone on the record as Famous Personality, Dan Aykroyd, saying some of the most mockable and apparently bonkers things in absolute, 100% sincerity. So the dude has no incentive to lie. Also, I have had his vodka and it's really good.
