Mu Zeta posted:4k sports looks amazing when I see it at the store but I don't watch sports. And 4k content is lacking and takes too much bandwidth to stream. It's going to be a while before it becomes more mainstream. Much better than the 3D poo poo they tried to force down our throats though. I just got a 4k tv yesterday and Breaking Bad on youtube may be the prettiest thing I've ever seen.

100 degrees Calcium posted:Marijuana kind of sucks. I've had this opinion since I was like 17 and discovered real drugs. I don't hold that against people that like it though. I haven't had to fight off a guy who was just high on pot throwing steak knives around my apartment and doubt I ever will. It really just makes you tired, hungry, and stupid and I don't think that's any worse than any of the other legal drugs that are out there.

100 degrees Calcium posted:Drugs seem great if you had a good upbringing and practiced the discipline in daily life to become an attentive, productive, and mentally-balanced human being. Otherwise, it seems like a real good way to get double-stuck in the rut you're already in. True, and I did get into a lot of poo poo when I was younger and managed to kick a near decade long heroin addiction, but still, drugs usually aren't the real problem.

The Saddest Rhino posted:There is no finer television show than Rick And Morty right now and it being only celebrated by mentally-underdeveloped white nerd manchildren is a massive tragedy. The second season was pretty hit or miss with its episodes, and they're already reusing the few original things the series did over again. It's not terrible or bad, don't get me wrong, but I guarantee we'll have another slow sad song over an "emotional" moment again next season. Probably get another tv show episode too.

Intoluene posted:Agreed until vegans start arguing that their diet is natural. A vegan diet is really hard to keep track of and maintain a balanced, healthy diet. I know it's overall bad for the environment and animal rights but I still eat meat. Meat is delicious. I just wish bison would get their poo poo together and create vast herds in the several millions so their meat becomes cheap again.

My Iowa native family loves it. I've tried to like it, even after living in the Midwest for twenties years now. I get it. It's just rather boring to me. I've lived in the Midwest for most of my life and had never heard of this until now. It does sound boring.

Agreed! Giving people gifts is the best part of any gift-giving holiday. I love birthdays, and Xmas, and Valentine's Day, and anything else that I get to buy something for someone. Watching their eyes light up or get misty because you care about them is fantastic. Also seeing my niece and nephew jump around because their Uncle Solice bought them a crazy weird gift they didn't even know they wanted puts me in a good mood for weeks after.

They should have hired more than one competent female actor then. Besides Furiosa all but one of the rest of the women could have been cut from the movie without missing a beat. Also: WampaLord posted:

Henchman of Santa posted:More like two seasons but yes. And the Raiders are moving to Vegas for similar reasons. I secretly wish that the Raiders win the Super Bowl this season and then the NFL moves them to Vegas because they are loving retarded. Though honestly I think Vegas can support any of the sports because the casinos will sell out the games and fill them with people no matter what. Also the entire state is starved for sports.

Das Boo posted:I only saw it once too, I just came away from the experience being insulted by how hamfistedly it was preaching at me and how it was deifying a murderer who kidnaps and brainwashes a woman. Even if I agree with something a movie has to say, grinding it in my face like I'd be too stupid to understand it otherwise is a surefire way to make me resent it. And then yeah, the whole praising a psychopath thing didn't help. I could go out and shoot a bunch of people in the name of a safe sex worker industry and even if my ideology is just, it doesn't justify my horrific actions. This, but about Making a Murderer.

Part of it. Now that everything is clear and good looking it's easier to see the divide. There's still a ton of CG that you'd never notice though. Its only when they make whole creatures or something where it's noticeable.

I liked Deadpool and I hate comic book movies. I think it had more to do with Ryan Reynolds than the source material though. (Maybe not, I haven't read comics since like 1992 so I have no idea.)
