Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most “punk rock” comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits… But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least… However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn’t intolerant of them.
Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I’m fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.
Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.
Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.
My opinion of the show in general is wildly unpopular. I thought it was terrible from ep1. I thought it was rife with bad/terrible acting AND writing. I didnt finish the first season until years later, when i gritted my teeth to watch through it. I managed to arrest my hater nature, and began to sort of enjoy it for what it was… then the terrible last two seasons happened.
I do believe at the end of the day, that the more terrible aspects of the show were due to first it being an unknown entity… and the network went cheap on the first couple of seasons to hedge their bets. lmost all of the rest of it was due to D&D.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided I would, against my better judgement give HOTD a shot. It was not as bad, but the effects were so terrible I turned it off. How a network can murder a golden goose twice over is past me.
I know not many people are as critical as I am of this stuff… I dont begrudge other people enjoying the shows. Its just not for me.
I actually do not hate this… however the idea of getting home to change out of this cracks me up. The image of trying to fold it or hang it could be an SNL skit.
I bought an Infinite Discs Slinger… It is a sling pack, not a backpack, but it has worked for me so far. I would probably prefer a backpack of some sort, but I dont have a ton of discs, and I am a big dude… so I feel like a backpack would be a waste of money, since the straps are never comfortable across my broad shoulders.
The Slinger is 25 bucks on Amazon, and while it lacks bells and whistles… ti will carry a bottle of water, has a zip pocket for keys and wallet or whatever… a mesh pouch on the outside i pack three or four discs in, then room for another nine or so inside. It also comes with a clip for a towel, or whatver you want to hang off of it.
" Fran Drescher! I place you in charge of SAG. The studios are yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze! Give me fair contracts! Drive them. Drive them into utter submission! Do not show the slightest pity or mercy! Never stop. Go. Go! Show no mercy! "
The more I play Baldur’s Gate 3, the more fun I am having, but as time has gone on, the more I find that the game is somehow breaking both Steam and my entire household internet.
I turned off cloud saves for it. It was murdering my patience when a friend would ask me to play another game while I was in a bg session. I cant figure out if it uploads ALL saves, or just the most recent. I quick save a ton, so i guess i could be to blame… But since im only playing on one pc, and not on my deck, i dont need the cloud save atm.
Granted, I am not active in many places where theories get bandied about… but I have never heard any connection being made between the “Lightbringer” and the sword wielded by the House Dayne, “Dawn”… which is apparently hanging out in Dayne HQ waiting for the next Sword of the Morning to drop in and grab it....
NEW YORK, Aug 14 (Reuters) - A new COVID vaccine is due out next month, but health experts and analysts say it is likely to be coolly received even as hospitalizations from “Eris”, a variant of the Omicron form of the coronavirus, rise around the country....
Why have you decided to stop with an annual? I kinda considered it, then was like “well, its just another annual vax, why would i get one but not the other?” My mom also said she was ok not getting another one… then she got it about a month ago, and said that changed her mind. She was miserable with it, and would not miss one going forward. lol. I guess I am kind of landing on the idea of if it gives me a boost in fighting it off, if i contract it… i am good with gettin the jab.
In case any of this looks like I am arguing with your decision, I am definitely not!!!
Im specifically asking for channels that discuss the books, not the show. With my yt searches, it was difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, so i thought id ask here.
I’m not saying I dislike it but I’m finding it hard to get through and it’s incredibly short. I enjoyed the first chapter in Tull and I enjoyed the desert scenes but since then I’ve been finding it hard to focus on. I like the characters too but it just feels a bit… Boring in places?...
My opinion is that Odetta makes the next book hard to read, but the next book is really strong… So it maybe worth the trip. Imo King isnt the best author cover to cover… But his highlights are undeniable. So id urge you to keep going.
