my 10 year old sharp tv finally died. is insignia(best buy house brand) any good or should i just stick with a name brand?

i want a ~50' tv for ~$300 before tax. i dont need a smart tv or top end resolution.

something like these. i'd get another sharp in a heartbeat but nothing they have matches what i want.

i just dont want to pay extra for something i dont need. an xbox does all the stuff that a smart tv does.

Smart features are standard now, not extra.

idk man. in just some casual research, it seems like equivalent tvs(same brand, dimensions and display) cost more with smart features. maybe i'm looking at last years models compared to this years and that's where the price difference is coming from. is there any reason to get a smart tv if you have an xbox/ps4?

in either case, is insignia or westinghouse crap that's going to break in 6 months?

oh yeah so Passengers?

It's not awful, which would've been interesting. No the problem with that movie (well one of a lot) is that it's not a sci-fi story at all, and what Passengers is is loving boring. Nothing interesting is ever looked at deeply beyond the peril of being awake on an ark ship knowing full well you're going to die on it. And even that is glossed over.

The movie shows some brief spark when Jennifer Lawrence is told straight up after a whole scene of "Don't tell her!" about the truth. There's a few scenes of maybe maybe maybe toying with the idea that yes what Chris Pratt did was horrifying and loving creepy but then that is all quickly handwaved away.

Don't watch this expecting anything but a boring rear end movie that takes zero chances to thrill or entertain. Moms will love it.

yeah it was just a romance movie. kind of groundhog day in the beginning. he essentially murdered her and she was totally fine with that within a few days.

DC Area goons, I am looking to move up there sometime next month, I would be bringing myself and me only. Where's a not-poo poo place to live for someone who will be working in Annapolis Junction, MD? I can afford ~1600 a month rent comfortably without changing my spending habits (I am bad with money sometimes), but could afford more with belt-tightening.

It's my understanding that anywhere around Ft. Meade will possibly get you stabbed while walking to your car in the morning, because living near a base is a bad idea.

I've seen Elicott City on the list of "Good Places" but it looks like a bunch of million and a half dollar houses.

you could live in baltimore city. you can get a nice single rowhouse in federal hill or locust point for $1200 or split a double or triple for $800. fells point, hampden or towson would be a terrible commutes and canton would be another $4.80/day in tolls. there is very little crime in these areas and there is actually poo poo to do.

you can play video games and masturbate anywhere you choose to live but you actually have to plan if you want to go drinking when you live in the suburbs. in the city, you can just roll out and get hammered.

Ill be 30 this year and i dont really go out to get hammered, yeah ill split a pitcher or 2 over a pizza at a good pizza joint but I dont really go out with the express purpose of getting ripped. I left that poo poo behind in the military.

I still dont know what the tolls are like on the turnpikes because we dont have those in GA.

idk man. living in the suburbs seems hellishly boring but thats just me. i wouldnt want to live directly on top of a bar but being able to walk almost anywhere i want to go is great.

the price to use tollroads(md-100) depends on the time of day and usage. the price to use the tunnels or bridges is fixed.

What concerns me is writing out the continuation of the story without Philip K Dick's influence.

Blade Runner had a poo poo ton of material to work with from the novel, and was about as good as a book adaptation gets acknowledging what works and what doesn't from the novel.

Villenueva did something similarly with Arrival where the short story and movie tell the same story but tweaked in areas that give each other room to stand on their own.

its not like blade runner was a straight word for word adaption of dadoes. blade runner leaves out the empathy box and electric animals from dadoes entirely and focuses the story. dick tended to wander aimlessly in his writing sometimes.

as long as its not some big budget summer blockbuster micheal bay movie, i think that blade runner 2049 will be good. since its the guy that made sicario/arrival, i dont think that will be the case.

She probably got signed on to an influencer agency that offers up their roster to media agencies and their clients for campaigns.

I've dealt with that kind of poo poo at my last job. We got data such as followers, their posting style, what they talk about, and then determine if they're a brand fit.

thats what i thought. so like...for the last year or two shes spent all her time accumulating followers so she can sell fittea or whatever.

there are a lot of things that are cool to me about insta sales:
-some college kid's internship is probably to make instagram captions
-hot chicks, i guess dudes too but i never see that poo poo, have turned going to the gym and getting boob jobs into a way to get paid
-she probably had a manager who spends all day telling her to work out, take sluttier pictures and pretend to be happy.

i have to imagine that fittea does not know about the reality porn gangbang she shot.

I like watching the rise and fall of people that get caught in MLM schemes via Facebook. They're too obtuse and oblivious to have sense talked into them, so you just have to let them learn. We were most all in the Military, so I'm sure we're all well versed with that dude's unemployed wife trying to pitch her poo poo

The latest one I've seen is Kyani lol

But I guess if a Instagram model has all those followers etc she's probably making good money though, I'd do the same tbh

i dont think that fittea, at least in the manner that she participates in it, is a mlm scheme. ive never seen any of these instamodels try and recruit anyone. they just post bikini selfies and say that fittea helped them achieve their fitness goals. ive also never looked into fittea, because i'm not the target market. maybe there is another side to it where housewives try to recruit each other but i dont follow housewives on insta.
