  1. Wait wait, is this a plot hole on True Detective S4?

    Spoiler

    We just learned that the older Prior cop was in kahoots with the mine boss lady, and apparently so is Captain Connelly.  If Connelly was in with the mine lady, why did he even appoint Danvers to police chief when the mine lady obviously wanted Prior; she even said so herself.  That doesn't make sense at all.

    The only explanation is that Connelly wasn't in the mine boss's pocket when he appointed Danvers, but that seems weak because he's in her pocket now, why didn't she just get him there when she found out he was going to appoint Danvers?  Seems she would've tried harder to get an insider as chief of police of the town she was fucking poisoning.

    Maybe I'm being too critical...

    plz share experiences with partners past & present

    I have discovered: 

    listen more than you talk,

    ask about mundane things,

    then ask profound things (this may or may not plz any given lady)

    take them places where they can dress for the occasion,

    window shop even if you hate it. and get used to buying nothing in art galleries. they will in turn get used to you buying 12 books or records instead of one at the cool store you pretend not to haunt,

    movie + dinner is a lame date unless you both love getting high and being weird in public, then it's pretty great,

    trim and polish your fingernails ffs,

    ask them how they get off when they're alone and follow their lead, cuz just like you, they know how to cum stupid hard, and you have a tongue that can reach farther than theirs,

    fingers in the mouth is a more common turn-on than expected,

    tell her what you want in every arena of life: your career, your relationship, your feelings for (or against) starting a family, your horniness, your emotional needs, your deepest intellectual fascinations - if she's into you, this will all be crucial information eventually. 

    don't fail to communicate any of these things, you'll just end up hurting one or both of you. be real.

     

    ok, plz add helpful hints. I know this place is 90+% dudes but ladies pls chime in if you're here and okay with it

    Depends on the age / maturity level of the woman.  Less age / maturity generally means they just wanna have fun (like men generally do at any age / maturity level :dadjoke:).  Next phase is they're probably looking for a "project", i.e., a bad boy who every girl wants, but they themselves want to be the one for whom this bad boy will change.  (Of course these are gross generalizations but are probably more common at younger ages.)

    If you're talking real, serious relationships, then you got a lot of the points.  Of course it depends on the woman on order of importance, but in my experience:

    • Be honest, don't lie about anything even if it is stupid and mundane (guys, you're not as convincing a liar as you think you are; she can often see right through you)
      • Losing trustworthiness / credibility by lying even about stupid stuff is a cancer in a relationship
      • If she calls you out for acting stupid or doing something that was objectively wrong, swallow your pride, immediately own it, and apologize
    • Communicate your feelings as soon as you realize them and have honest conversations about both of your feelings toward important things
    • If you are having an issue with her, don't wait to have an honest conversation at an appropriate time, don't let things fester; and let her know that you want her to do the same
    • Listen when she's talking and internalize, don't be afraid to ask for clarification if her feelings are not clear to you (they often aren't clear to me :wtf:)
    • Do things that make her feel loved and important, even little things can go a long way here
      • Always putting effort into the relationship is very important, especially after marriage
    • Devote a fair amount of time to doing things that she likes, and hopefully she'll do the same for you (I don't know how many times my wife has gone with me to shows even though she doesn't really care about music that much)
    • Take care of yourself, physically and emotionally; nobody wants to be with someone who is a mess
    • In the bedroom, don't be selfish.  Either read her cues if you have that ability or just ask her what she likes.  If she's a good partner, there will be times when she gets to be selfish in the bedroom and times when you get to be selfish (all within your respective boundaries) and times where it works out for both of you, hopefully all relatively balanced.

    weird, since him, Matthew Mcconaughey, & Woody Harrelson are all exec producers on the season i believe...you'd think they would've had some early notes of like 'hm, this script doesn't really seem like a good idea let's maybe suggest some changes' because like, that's one of the things producers can do, yeah? i think Jodie Foster is listed as an exec producer too, maybe her or jeeze, anyone really could've stepped in at SOME point in the process and noticed the dozens of red flags that were surely there during the scripting/development process.

    episode 4 was better in ways but went full horror movie bullshit at times. this season is whack, but i guess i'll finish it out anyway because at least some of the actors are good.

    S3 was really good, i don't think anyone around here talked much good about it but i thought it was strong as hell. as good as S1 imo. i never saw S2, heard almost nothing but bad about it.

    Executive producer credits don't necessarily mean that the person has anything to do with the show currently.  They could just be creators, financial backers, or could have written something that the current show borrows heavily from or is inspired by.

  4. I've found myself rooting against the Chiefs (with whom I previously had no beef) just for wanting to avoid being bombarded by shots / mentions of Taylor Swift during every fucking game.

    The super bowl is going to be more insufferable than usual by at least an order of magnitude.

    Yeah for anyone interested in that "new Tesla model", you might wanna wait a model year or two.  The Model 3s are just now starting to come out consistently at acceptable quality, inherent faults with "gigacasted" parts notwithstanding.

    I know… but calling an idiot being an idiot news is pretty fucking low. 

    I know you know, most smart people know, it's just sad to see, and I don't know how we can get out of this cycle.

    That's pretty cool.  After reading just the intro, I have 3 thoughts:

    • It must be a trip how fast squirrels, flies, etc. experience the passage of time relative to us
    • A squirrel would be good at hitting a fastball
    • Someone should use their technique (CFF) to see if good baseball players are physically different from normal people in that their visual systems can operate with a faster temporal resolution

    Merry Christmas IDM dudes 🎅

    I have a massive bounty of beer to pour down my neck. I may take a picture later 🍺

    I flew home so I was preparing for a holiday without beer, but then my brother offered to pick me up some 3 Fonteinen geuze and Orval on his way out.

    Love your 3x3 Rochefort stash, that's ace.

    Cheers!

    like there's 1 extra brown person they noticed today, and all of a sudden the country's gone to shit under Biden! this wouldn't happen with Trump!

    Or perhaps they lost their job due to their inferior skill set or intellect, and they look around and see all these foreigners coming in and getting jobs because they're willing to take any job, or they see immigrants coming here for college and then landing good jobs...

    It's the immigrants' fault that they're out of work, obviously.

    A man was pushed from the top of a skyscraper. If the sound of his body hitting the ground reached the killer 5 seconds after the killer pushed him, calculate the height of the skyscraper. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, g = 9.81 m/s2. Neglect air resistance.

    192.781 m?
