Breaking Bad is probably my favorite series. My #1 favorite season is True Detective season 1 though.

Freaks and Geeks is also great, can't believe that was cancelled after 1 season.

Classic Rams super bowl meltdown

First half time show in a long time that I wish it went on a lot longer, so many songs they had to leave out

Looks like an alien abduction movie?

Captain Falcon is like the mascot of Smash Bros, I am really surprised Nintendo hasnt milked him and his franchise

F-Zero maybe<img src="//:0"> but I think there is some solid info out there that a new Star Fox is on the way

I just put it in the trash and then pretend I never saw them

Lots of fractions-related stuff. For example, I frequently forget how to convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, even after looking it up a million times. Another example is simplifying fractions; I usually end up not simplifying them to their lowest terms, and I'm just like...wtf.

Simplifying a fraction like 68/12? This is more of a logic problem than just typical math, as there isnt just a brain dead process to get the right answer, you have to actually think:
-What is the largest multiple of 12 that is less than 68?
Then
-What is the largest number that goes into both the numerator and denominator in order to simplify?

My advice would be to just practice. Get a list of 100 different improper fractions and go through them. Also dont check if you got the right answer after every problem. Do like 10 in a row, and then check your answers.

Amazon and both parties want marijuana legal, should be an easy win for Congress in 2022, but Im sure they will fuck it up somehow

I reached level 100 and theres no real incentive to keep playing. They shouldve kept Halo 3s ranking system.

Reach had the best ranking system, pretty much the entire community agrees on that and 343 knows this. I don't know how they didn't just start with that as a base and build onto it, like wtf is going on over at 343 with some of these decisions.

But yeah even Halo 3's ranking system is miles better than this battle pass trash

Like 65% of the country isnt eligible to donate blood

Topic title seems very misleading? Article says that of all the new HIV cases in 2020, 50% were among straight men/women, compared to 45% among gay men. However gay men only make up like 1.2% of the population there? So they still have an extraordinarily higher infection rate than straight people.

Yeah sucks cause the gameplay is so good

He has had like 1000 guests on his show or more, find one you are interested in and give it a listen

Well now Joe Rogan has a climate change denier on todays episode, people are gonna be even more pissed

Did you think you were making a point asking this question?

TC have you even tried to get a loan for a house? Or seen what your price range is given your income?

Flitwick was a little person in the Harry Potter books too

I own multiple houses, but I do have an engineer salary

You would think that video has got to be satire, but its not lol. Just starts off with the "The assumption that the best protein comes from corpses is a racist belief." I can't believe there are people out there that actually believe this so whole heartedly

Yeah the race of the actors is probably the last thing I am concerned with on this show, there are a lot of red flags that are making me hesitant

Its like that stupid Candle Jack meme where you start ty

Because its a fictional story

I watched the first episode, saw Sweeneys juicy mommy milkers, but the story was so meh I never watched anymore

Jimmy Kimmel agrees

https://variety.com/2022/film/news/jimmy-kimmel-slams-oscars-dont-look-up-spider-man-1235175759/amp/

How did [Spider-Man: No Way Home] not get one of the 10 nominations for best picture? Kimmel asked viewers. Forget the fact that the movie made $750 million [in the U.S.] and is still going. This was a great movie. It wasnt in the top 10 best movies of the year? There were three Spider-Men in it. Youre telling me Dont Look Up was better than Spider-Man? It most certainly was not.


Even if you go by the critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, Dont Look Up got a 46% and Spider-Man: No Way Home has 90%. For gods sake, Jackass Forever has an 89%, Kimmel added. Why do best picture nominees have to be serious? When did that become a prerequisite for getting nominated for an Academy Award? You wanna know what happened? Voters looked at the list and saw the names Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep and they checked the box and then they put their kids in the car and went to see the movie Spider-Man. And they loved it! But they didnt vote for it.

So i should work too

No, it was not that good. Dune was much better.

Dune did get a BP nod

1 and 5j

oh -1 also

Definitely, the field was weak as shit this year, and NWH was better than Black Panther.

Don't Look Up doesn't deserve to be on there over NWH

WTF

the entire plot of their movie was blaming school shootings on the left and saying guns would stop them

Not really, did you watch the movie?

There was hardly any politics in their last movie

Also I saw a note that Amazon only has rights to the Appendix from Return of the King, they don't actually have the rights to the Silmarillion... if that is true then they will need tons of original material to fill in the gaps

Eh I dont mind it TBH. theres always going to be changes from book to tv/movie adaptions and making it not take place across 1,000 years makes a heap of sense because otherwise theyd have to reintroduce new characters constantly and build them up rather than taking established characters.

Its also not the first time. IIRC in the LotR books there is a 50 year gap between Gandalf and Bilbo leaving the Shire and Frodo setting out

These changes seem a lot more significant than just getting rid of some time gaps. I don't know how you can weave Numenor, Gondor, Arnor, Sauron, the Rings of Power, and the War of the Last Alliance all into one time period without this basically being a brand new story. Maybe someone more familiar with the Silmarillion than me can confirm or deny this

Got some interesting photos and descriptions of characters in the show.

So will there be Westerosi levels of violence and sex in Amazons Middle-earth? In short, no. McKay says the goal was to make a show for everyone, for kids who are 11, 12, and 13, even though sometimes they might have to pull the blanket up over their eyes if its a little too scary. We talked about the tone in Tolkiens books. This is material that is sometimes scaryand sometimes very intense, sometimes quite political, sometimes quite sophisticatedbut its also heartwarming and life-affirming and optimistic. Its about friendship and its about brotherhood and underdogs overcoming great darkness.

This got my hopes up a little bit that the showrunners at least respect the original works.

In the novels, the aforementioned things take place over thousands of years, but Payne and McKay have compressed events into a single point in time. It is their biggest deviation from the text, and they know its a big swing. We talked with the Tolkien estate, says Payne. If you are true to the exact letter of the law, you are going to be telling a story in which your human characters are dying off every season because youre jumping 200 years in time, and then youre not meeting really big, important canon characters until season four. Look, there might be some fans who want us to do a documentary of Middle-earth, but were going to tell one story that unites all these things.

This, however, is a massive red flag. I can't imagine cramming all of this lore into one moment in time turns out well. They should have done an anthology series where each season focuses on a significant story, new human/dwarf characters but the same elvish ones. There is plenty going on in the Second Age to do that: multiple wars with Sauron, rise and fall of Numenor, rise of Gondor and Arnor, crafting of the Rings, Moria, etc.

TC is def the type of person to talk about when to leave an event before they even get into it.

Pretty good discussion on it

First Joe Rogan is cancelled, now Adele???

https://pagesix.com/2022/02/09/adele-says-i-love-being-a-woman-at-gender-neutral-event/

Adele is being accused of transphobia for declaring at a woke gender-neutral awards show that she loves being a woman.

The Rolling in the Deep singer made the remark at Tuesdays Brit Awards as she collected the prize for Artist of the Year, a newly created category merging the old Best Male and Best Female Artist awards.

I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do! she said to huge cheers.

Im really proud of us, I really, really am, she said.

Despite support from the audience in Londons huge O2 Arena, her comments quickly sparked outrage online making her the latest high-profile figure accused of being a TERF, or trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

Please, no, ADELE cant be a TERF, a staunch feminist performer named Jacob told his thousands of Twitter followers.

Whod have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers, another long-time Twitter user posted.

Others complained that they had lost a lot of respect for Adele and would no longer spend a cent on her music, the Times of London noted.

The attacks led many to spring to the 33-year-old stars defense.

Thank you @Adele. Just, thank you. For speaking the 2 words being vilified. Woman. Female, tweeted author and refugee campaigner Onjali Rauf.
