see ya later kid, lol

this is based, as @nincodedo mentioned before it’s cursed they don’t all do this

season 2 is unwatchable, didn’t make it past halfway of the first episode. total loss. i was very up on the first season, which i found draggy, right up until the sprint across all of middle earth, to a battle, to the mountain exploding into a volcano in the span of 10 minutes (HotD pulled this same bullshit with a 5 minute montage in the finale which had more movement of forces than the entire rest of the shortened 8 episode season). that sprint. fight, mordor, bit ruined what was already teetering on a bad experienced. found myself about 30 minutes into the first episode of the second season thinking, this is all shit, the acting, the writting, the direction, all of this is just straight garbage, i don’t like any of this, it’s pretty, but that’s all that it has going for it, i guess i fixated on the stupid acorns still green in the proto hobbit’s hair in the desert, and the rock try sprouting bugs, that did it for me, i was like, nope, i’m noping the fuck out of this bullshit right fucking now, nope nope nope, i’m done

I mean, even though the Dragon Battle At Rooks Rest was top fucking notch, I thought that the Second season of HotD ruined and wasted Daemon on his Haranhal “fluff this season out so we call make more money” acid trip, cynically made Rhynaera into a pussycat to prop up the Black factions likeability for reasons only book readers will know, and the finale’s “really getting ready for war this time” 5 minute montage with more literal movement and action than we got for the entire rest of the season was a thumb in the eye, George knows dragons weren’t real, right?

ewww, imagine how many people have breathed over that water trough

Andor is exceptional and the best episodic Star Wars tv show ever made

“oh here comes kolanaki, he buys a lot of wee wee pads for his wolfdog, we can tell because we just pinged his phone and smartwatch, let’s up the price by 30%, our records for the last 5 years, indicate he’s running out of wee wee pads right now, and our outside data collectors have told us he never buys them anywhere else, and should pay the premium”

and if they pull and rfid off your phone, or a bluetooth/wifi ping to of the apps you have running in the background like the walmart app, and are pricing per individual, it won’t matter what time you go to shop, your price is gonna be your price whenever you show up

I guess we’ll have to take photos of every item we pick from the shelves, so if the register attempts to charge more, or somehow misses a sale, we will have to get our phones out and say hey this was the price when i picked it. Great. Fantastic. Precisely the sort of simplicity and ease to be expected of advanced technology.

oh she on the ozempic, huh

everybody’s gotta have a code, man

you’ve fallen for it

If you bring the charges, you must be prepared bring the charge
