  1. Winter is better than summer. A response: L1: There is no limit to the amount of layers you can add but there's a limit to the amount you can remove. R1: If that's how much snow you're shoveling get a damn snowblower they're like $300 for a decent one. L2: Yes and it's glorious. R2: My colds and their symptoms always come in the spring for whatever reason. L3: When I was delivering pizza in my first year at college I loved snow days because I had an AWD vehicle while all the other guys had not that. I could do 3 deliveries in the time it took for them to do one. Because I could drive normally basically. R3: Yes. And? L4: I guess. If you don't like snow activities. I'm more likely to be indoors in the summer to escape the damn heat. R4: I don't know what a cold snap is. It does suck slipping though I'll give it that. I live in a weird place where it's an arid desert, but it does snow somewhat frequently in the winter. Heavy snows in the winter keep us alive in terms of water supply in the summer. So I'm grateful for every snow we get. Sadly, our winters are getting shorter and warmer and our summers are becoming longer and hotter.
  2. If any black woman ruined Jurassic Park it was 25 years ago when that girl did gymnastics to beat the shit out of a fuckosaurus or whatever. But that was Spielberg's fault anyways. Not hers.
  3. The acting is terrible, the story and the seriousness with which everybody treats the situation is bonkers, the fight choreography has been pretty bad but forgivable considering the age of the actors (this season was actually really good though), the story is being stretched a bit too thin even for what it is. But God damn if I don't love every second of this show. Every character. Every standoff. Every fight. Every conversation. It's so fun!
  4. Rick Sanchez, unfortunately, has become a member of the incel Trinity along with Tyler Durden and the Joker.
  5. Family Fumes After Capitol Rioter Out on Bond Kills Young Mom in Drunken Crash WWW.MSN.COM A 22-year-old woman who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was drunk and driving in the wrong direction on Wednesday night when she killed a young mom and seriously injured another driver, authorities said. Emily Hernandez was driving west in the eastbound lanes in Franklin County, Missouri, just after 7 p.m. when she crashed into another car that spun into the median strip and struck cable barriers, police said... I'm not in favor of the death penalty. Except for all the times that I am.
  6. There is going to be at least one episode per season going forward that will get serious and dark (comparitively). The show hints at it quite a bit that Rick has some demons and there will be a few episodes that really grapple with those demons. After you get to those I don't think the Unity one will seem so out of place. That episode really worked for me when I first saw it because I loved how it dealt with the emotionally stunted male which I can relate to quite a bit. But I loved the concept too. Dating a hivemind. Just lol. Wait til you see the ep that deals with Rick fucking a planet. And I'm not talking about its population. The happy memory parasite is such a brilliant concept as well. I also like seeing the family accept each other's shortcomings in a group and using that to win. And the funniest part of that episode for me was Jerry and how it further un-developed his character. He's so pathetic and weak. @SaysWho?
  7. Thanks. If there's one thing I know way more about than I'd like to... And holy cow I didn't look at the additional stuff until now. Good lord... It seems like this guy might be an ex-mormon. He uses a quote on one of his stories that is frequently used by exmos. I know I've used it when debating with Mormons. The truth and harm one.
  8. Funny thing is that a lot of these companies over the past 15 years or so have been pushing for more liberal laws around things like alcohol, discrimination, marriage and whatnot. They want to attract people from out of state. And it has worked quite well. The population here has exploded over the past ten or so years. Also, what's weird about places with taboos like that is the counter-culture breeds creativity in those taboos. My favorite coffee place ever is in Provo, the cultural capitol of Mormonism. And I'm from the PNW which is supposed to be godly for coffee or something idk. Also, I don't drink but my friends that do say that their favorite IPAs are actually the Utah ones. If he were a typical Mormon he'd still be anti-Semitic but in a different way. There are many superficial ways that Mormons compare themselves to Jews that are anti-Semitic in the sense that the comparisons are ignorant and stereotypical. For example, both seem to breed wealthy people and institutions. The power they wield relative to their number of adherents is outsized. They both faced persecution. They both have dietary restrictions. They are both anal about Sabbath observance. Etc. Etc. That kind of drivel. But, in addition to those kinds of things, Mormon doctrine is quite sympathetic to Jews in a way. Much more so than even Evangelicals who just want to watch strife with Palestine in hopes of ushering in Armageddon. And definitely more so than a lot of the more traditional Christian views on Jews. For example, while they would definitely love a Jewish person to convert to Mormonism and recognize Jesus, and they do their baptisms for the dead for dead Jewish people, they also simultaneously believe that Jews are pretty much automatically going to be placed in the highest degree of Heaven since they're God's OG people. Also, Mormons view themselves as adopted into the House of Israel if not direct descendants (old school Mormonism has a lot of weird theories about race and blood). Every Mormon receives something called a Patriarchal blessing that acts as both kind of a prophecy/guidance for their individual life and identifies to which tribe they either directly descend from (LMAO) or are being adopted into. Mine said I was adopted into Ephraim. Mormon priesthood follows a Judaic pattern in at least one area. Male descendants of Aaron are priests in Judaism, and if a Mormon could be identified as a direct descendant of Aaron he would be automatically recognized as holding the priesthood in Mormonism, something that non-descendants of Aaron (re: everybody) have to get by going through many rites and passages. This is because they view the Priesthood as having been the same since the beginning of time. So if it worked that way for people who worshipped Jesus before he was born (Jehovah) then it shouldn't be any different now (they'll just add some crazy shit onto it that they believe they're restoring that was lost over time). Joseph Smith and other early Mormon hierarchs ripped polygamy straight from the OT and justified it using said priesthood. A lot of Mormon temple practices, objects and symbolism within them, and exterior design on some of them are ripped straight from Solomon's Temple in the OT. Blah blah blah I'm going on way too long here. All that to say: Mormons actually think that they really, really legitimately love and respect Jews. And in some ways they do. Even though you could count on one hand the number of Mormons who've met a Jewish person IRL. So, this guy isn't a mainstream Mormon if he is one (couldn't verify after one broad Google search). But his Catholic comments in the article and the second image of this tweet (from his Instagram) are giving me pause about him being Mormon.
  9. Yes and no. But, the branding is deserved IMO. There are about a trillion tech companies that started on the mountains south of SLC.
  10. Really goes to show that you don't need any critical thinking skills to 'rise to the top' and get a big payday.
  11. Entrata founder emails Utah tech CEOs, claiming COVID vaccine part of extermination plot by 'the Jews' WWW.FOX13NOW.COM The chair of Entrata, a Silcon Slopes tech firm, sent an email to a number of tech CEOs and Utah business and political leaders, claiming the COVID-19 vaccine is part of a plot by I interviewed at this company once ages and ages ago. I guess I wasn't anti-Semitic enough for them because they didn't hire me. Shot: Chaser:
  12. Flattered, but I'm not nearly as cool as you think I am :P I just program our DB to interact with outside systems, create automations, control access, etc. I'm not what I would call a data engineer.
  13. Rumors mean that things are being discussed. When they are discussed they will be planned. After planning they will be implemented. Your rumors are at least a year out. Go look for a new employer now.
  14. Also, they know this is what you want so they'll give it to you next season. Then you'll want even more and get blue balled in perpetuity afterwards. Just warning you.
  15. Two of my favorite sci-fi concepts ever are now favorites because of this show. I'm really curious to hear what you think of the episodes "Total Rickall" and "Auto Erotic Assimilation" so make sure to @ me when you get to those.
