Counterpoint: Spanish doesn't have epic compound words.

I do love the brutal efficiency of German nouns.

Any vegans in here?

If so, do you know if any area sports venues sell vegan cheesesteaks?

Eugh.

I took four years of Italian. Most useful thing I’ve ever done.

Yo, the sick and twisted tour was awesome as f***.
So was the pledge of allegiance tour and ozzfest 2000. Knock it off.

Oooh please tell me more about this feature.

I’ve made two appointments at the local MVC for our work van’s registrations.

One was made on November 10th for November 30th because that was the earliest appointment available. It was canceled on the 29th in the morning.

I made another appointment on the 30th for December 29th (today) (first appointment) it was canceled yesterday.

What the f*** am I supposed to do?

I am listening to "Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken" by Camera Obscura.

It got separated by a few posts, but I was talking about the Lornesplained idea that talented filmmakers should be working in film only, not TV.

 

[Rebels57]

Mindhunter was fine, but David Fincher doing a TV show always felt wrong to me. I'm glad he's making movies again. Top tier directors shouldn't be making TV shows.

They should be making whatever they want to make it.

Are you not able to renew online? Or is this a new vehicle?

Some yes, these ones no.

Want Beef to beat up the DMV for you? That's BS.

Yes, please.

I didn't check to see why it was cancelled last time but today it looks like an employee tested positive yesterday for the virus so they're closed until January 7th now. ONE FRIGGIN DAY BEFORE AFTER WAITING ~60.

It's also not like in the cancellation email they send you they say that "you can come at any time and we'll honor this time slot." You're just shit out of luck. I wouldn't be as upset if that were the case but while we as a business are liable for this situation the employees driving the vans can get in a lot of trouble if they get pulled over.

Yeah, I get shutting down until you can test your other employees and deep clean whatever, but getting pushed back on registrations is no bueno unless you're going to give the vehicle owner some leeway. Just make the cancellation notice effective as a 45-day extension or something. It's not like you're ignoring the fact that you need to register the vehicle, you just physically can't.

I've got an appointment on tje 5th. I will not be happy if its canceled.

For what its worth though, I believe they are mostly waiving vehicle registration/inspection stuff currently.

 

[TCTC]

They should be making whatever they want to make it.

Yeah, I guess they should. I like a good TV show and I realize that it offers storytelling opportunities a movie wouldn't, but I can't always find the motivation or the commitment to watch an entire season. And then there's always the danger of a TV show that doesn't know when it should have ended. How many are there that are great from start to finish? The Wire, Breaking Bad. Anything else?

 

[Lord Defect]

Conspiracy theorist unite!
But seriously can anyone explain this to me? On released footage of the Tennessee Christmas RV bombing explosion the RV is parked with the passenger side of the RV curbside, but in the body cam footage of the cops walking the street to evacuate people the RV is parked with the driver side being curbside.
I haven’t heard anything mentioning the RV moved after parking.

I’d say breaking bad fell off before it ended. It’s been a while so I can’t recall when. Maybe when they brought on Meth Damon?

How dare you

 

[ajgoal]

YES. Do that if you haven't watched it yet.

So this is good.

And as I have said repeatedly and no one has listened to, find "Gomorrah."

I have seen it when scrolling through, I'm sure I can watch it. Given that with the exception of The Bachelorette we seem to have similar tastes, I will give it a look.
