How the prefontal lobe rental car industry perceives age.

Just a little after my teen years, but HTF and Bawls (grabbed while in the checkout line at Fry’s Electronics) bring up some memories. And… is that Pixie Stix? If so, the 60s through the 90s would like a word.

Just feed in the resulting image as part of the refinement process. Eventually you’ll get a horse…shoe crab.

I’d say The (US) Office’s highs might be a little higher than P&R’s, but P&R had an optimism that kept it better for longer, or at least for a longer percentage of its run. IMHO The Office already had the check-fuel light on by the time Jim and Pam got married, and by the end it was just some strangers physically pushing the thing a couple miles farther down the road. P&R for me didn’t start declining until they got back from London, and S6 still had a lot of good stuff. I’d have to look into it, but I really do feel like they thought that was the end, but somehow got renewed for S7 and had to do the entire weird coda of a season with a three year time skip that, I guess, made it technically Sci Fi, LOL

I’ll second the other commenter. With your preconceived notion being “terrible,” you might be pleasantly surprised and find that it’s merely “rushed.” GoT is partly a cultural artifact as the last genre project that truly captured the monoculture’s attention (it laughs at Severance’s or Stanger Things’ so-called impact) before the internet shattered it, so everything good and bad about it was dramatically amplified.

Yeah, it’s peak The Office cringe, but it’s not bad exactly, just that Carell was doing that bit much better. If one skips anything, it’s the last two seasons when everybody is flanderized all to hell, they’re out of things to do in Pawnee, and some of the new additions don’t work as well. I’d say skip any episode in S6 that feels off, and then just ignore s7. Feels like Babylon 5 where thy’re like, “We got another season, WTF do we do now?”

But if you make your meter scan, you’ll seem an even wiser man.

This is also why I lose fighting games to twelve year olds, and have since I was a twelve year old.

Can’t be. No burlap-sack wallpaper.

But yeah, the general point is well taken. They’re so value-priced institutional. You could just imagine the bean counters in Salt Lake revising the approved architectural drawings and paint colors for Tithing Generation Facility, model 1988, rev. 3.

Around here (Texas), it’s the cream cheese and smoked salmon that make a place call it a Philly Roll, and the avocado vs cucumber varies by restaurant. Avocado is pretty popular though, because anything that evokes Tex-Mex will find an audience.

This is also a grocery store Philly Roll. We’re already past simple fusion and into some Red Giant Helium-to-Oxygen shit. If my man wants some ranch, then so be it. He’s not denying himself an unsullied cross-cultural experience.

Thank you I hate it.

Thank you. I’d have had to see some of them if i were to look up what they’re called.

The weirdest part of ren and stimpy for me was always the smash cuts to the grossout oil painting-like still frames.

Pure nightmare fuel.

I am a heathen, so usually NO-Key, but in culinary circles people who want to nod in the general direction of proper Italian will say something closer to knee-YO-key. Mid-word vowel sounds in American English (all English?) can be extremely variable, though

If you want a proper IPA transcription, this video seems about right.

It reminds me of 30 Rock in that sense, where you can imagine some of these people will become respected names, but some will never deliver a performance as good again for their entire careers.

Also a solid defensive catcher on the baseball team.

I finally started watching Resident Alien, and I’m about halfway through S3. I am a sucker for both sci-fi and Northern Exposure-ish shows where a fish out of water is dropped into a quirky and isolated community, so I don’t really know how I waited so long, but it does mean I don’t have to worry about it getting canceled on a cliffhanger.

As an aside, I watched S1 on a TV with “soap opera vision” motion interpolation turned on, and JFC I forgot how cheap and awful it makes everything look.

you could also use a colon

Now, with the caveat that prescriptive grammar is kind of stupid, you’d need to remove the word ‘that’ to make the colon a “correct” choice.
