Underwaterbob,

I’ve seen the first two. I can’t bring myself to watch the last one.

Underwaterbob,

The thumbnail for this image was much more appealing than the image…

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Underwaterbob,

I agree with this to a point. It depends on your set up at home, vs whether or not you get decent seats at a theater and how crowded it is. I saw “Dune” from great seats in a mostly empty theater, and I don’t think any home set up could compare. I also watched “It Follows” at home late at night on a decent TV while my family was away, and I can’t imagine a better way to experience that one.

Because it’s the only really good Star Wars film. All the rest have either cringe-inducing acting, nonsensical plotting, or are inundated with inane family friendly elements like Ewoks, Anikin and Jarjar.

Underwaterbob,

I see your point, but wow, I hope not.

Underwaterbob,

Say what you will about the prequels, at least they’re not the sequels.

Underwaterbob,

The obscure movie for me was… Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I still know every line of dialog from beginning to end any time I happen to see it on.

Underwaterbob,

30 here

Get back to me when you’re creeping up on fifty.

Truthfully, I have mixed results when it comes to drinking these days. Sometimes, it’s fine. I drink a few beer, get a nice buzz and wake up totally fine. It’s really only once or twice I had the situation I mentioned above where I hardly drank anything and woke up hungover anyway. In those cases, I didn’t chug a bunch of water because I assumed since I wasn’t feeling the effects at all, I’d be fine. If I am buzzed or verging on drunk, then I will chug a liter or something. Though for me, it’s 50/50 on whether that prevents a hangover. I don’t like those odds. It just seems more and more like the short buzz and euphoria it brings more and more often isn’t worth the chance of ruining the next day. Especially given how much shittier your system gets at handling this stuff as you get older.

I am not out of shape either.

Underwaterbob,

I’m a fairly prolific poster. At least commenter. I started a community here for a subreddit I miss. I’ve even got 97 subscribers. Three of us post anything, and I am by-far the most active of those three. I highly suspect that’s an expected ratio of lurkers to posters. Meaning, if I want a reasonable number of engagement, I need to get like thirty times as many subscribers. I can’t see that happening any time soon unless Reddit actually collapses.

Underwaterbob,

I see “objectively” is going the same way as “literally” into the modern grammar trash heap of uncertain meaning.

Though I do agree that the sphinx one is cooler.

Underwaterbob,

Buncha wimps. Spiders are not out to get you. In fact, they’re out to get far more annoying insects like mosquitoes and houseflies. Do you know how many diseases those two spread? Do you know how many spiders spread? Spiders are your friends!

r/spiderbro is one of my most missed subreddits.

Underwaterbob,

Never mind the ~500 year age gap between Dax and Bashir.

Underwaterbob,

Haha! Some DS9 writer read The Player of Games and decided they wanted to make that, and bunged it up horribly.

Underwaterbob,

That sounds like a lot of trouble and potential trouble for people who use the printer who don’t have the trouble I do. I can live with the failure rate. It happens quickly, and I can just print again. If Mint fixes it, that’s great!

Underwaterbob,

As I get older, the cold bothers me more. Used to be, I could go outside and throw snowballs with my bare hands no problem. Nowadays, the temperature drops below 10, and suddenly my hands physically hurt if they get cold. It’s not even related to how physically fit I am given I started a five-day-a-week gym habit eight years ago and am in some of the best shape of my life. It’s just stupid aging as far as I can tell.

Underwaterbob,

Well, I gotta say cartoon Kira and Quark have me very curious.

Underwaterbob,

Well, the guy you are responding to is maybe only thinking of people whose hearing is diminished in some manner. Not people whose hearing is otherwise incapacitated through something like tinnitus or like the other poster in here who has auditory dyslexia. Both of whom may be inconvenienced by headphones or earbuds and have an easier time with speaker phone than those options. Maybe try to explain how you think they are being insensitive or lacking empathy rather than just accusing them of such without explanation.

Underwaterbob,

Right before the show really took off, too. Oopsy!

Underwaterbob,

Didn’t they go into the past and bring her to a different timeline in a later episode of the show or something? Or was that just her alter-ego from another dimension?

Underwaterbob,

It requires a lot of filtering, but I find Pitchfork.com reliably has something decent in their “best new …” pages. Just don’t actually read the reviews.

Underwaterbob,

Near where I grew up there are these caves on a cliff side on the ocean. At the right time of day, the tide is such that the water rushes in and creates these amazing subsonic booms. You can’t hear them, but if you go down one of the walkways into the side of a cave, you can feel it. It’s crazy. Probably a similar thing.

How on Earth does one spend 557 hours on Final Fantasy VI? I’ve finished it at least a half-dozen times over the years since it came out, and I doubt I’ve spent that much time with it. And at least one of those sessions I got everyone to max level and taught them every spell in the game. I suppose I have not taught Gau all the possible Rages, but doing that sounds insufferable.

Edit: Are replies broken? This was a reply to a comment, but it showed up as a separate comment.

Underwaterbob,

While sometimes mildly amusing, I don't miss the strings of puns that dominated ~50% of the "discussions" I clicked.
