Answers to Endgame shenanigans

I'm still about this

As I've said before, I haven't yet watched any of the new season but my expectations have been low ever since the show passed the books. I've never even read the books but there was a noticeable dip in quality in the story that I can't seem to pin on anything else. The TV writers just aren't nearly as good without leaning heavily on the books as a guide and seem to fall back on a lot of standard fantasy tropes.

Who knew that hanging sliding closet doors was so hard to do all by yourself? Completely unrelated, I hung 6 sliding closet doors today. Really heavy ones.

I prefer Pepsi. Caffeine free.

I keep getting thrown off by all the mod posts marking the threads with Obs responses. Pretty sure before only dev group folks did that.

Just saw Avengers It was a movie

My wife will likely vote for any Democrat that faces Trump but I can't see myself voting for Biden. Others I don't really care for are Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, and Harris but I just haven't paid much attention to most of the others at this point. I like Sanders and Gabbard but am waiting until the field gets a lot narrower before I really dive into it. If I don't care for whoever gets nominated then I'll probably be a 3rd party voter again this year.

Give me land-air mechs or give me... I dunno, something else cool. Maybe the Goliath or another quad mech. Or a Scorpion LAM

Forums back up but everything looks the same I got a haircut

I haven't watched anything of this season but it seemed like marriage was the best option for Jon and Dany after Jon's totally non-obvious parentage reveal.

Switched from bupropion to venlafaxine and I think I already want to switch back

Easter always makes me think of my mom so it's kind of a sad day. The weather isn't helping much either. Went to Home Depot to get the carpet replaced in the condo. That was my day so far.

Happy Easter and tomorrow... and all your tomorrows, really

You should have seen the confusion on my wife's face when BTS was on SNL. Priceless.

I don't have a problem with those you mentioned because it's more silly. When it's serious business time travel as opposed to timey wimey stuff I think is where it differs for me.

^Which is generally why I don't like time travel

I've never watched Breaking Bad. I know it's supposed to be great but the subject matter has absolutely zero appeal to me. Same with the Wire, just not something I care to see. I've said before that I kind of liked the things Johnson was trying to do in TLJ but they didn't work for me in the context of a middle Star Wars movie and maybe I'd like his own stand alone trilogy much better. I think that still stands.

Watched Brick and Looper I did actually like Brick but didn't really care much for Looper. It might have been my dislike for time travel that just made me be a view it a little more critically but I thought that it had a lot of holes in the story. Maybe as a "don't really think about it" type of movie I might have enjoyed it more. I did like it more than TLJ though so there's that. I'll upgrade Johnson from 0-1 to 1-2.

My only problem with an all volunteer service is that is has been leading us into developing a kind of warrior caste. The greater population has no investment in the military and therefore less interest in how they are used.

I also never forgave Janeway for murdering Tuvix or the crew for not defending him in the slightest. I do think these kind of morality episodes are probably my favorite but in this case I don't recall that Tuvix even got a trial like Data did to prove his personhood. Might need to rewatch. Janeway is easily my least favorite headlining captain of all the Trek series. Though I still haven't started season 2 of Enterprise and barely remember season 1.
