  • What obscure thing you enjoy do you never get to talk about?

    Jump

  • As someone who grew up with those stories, I'm also curious what are considered space battles since I don't recall any.

  • Your friend loves your least favourite politician. What do you say?

    Jump

  • OP said coworker, which I think most people missed. If you're privileged enough to quit your job over a coworker's political opinion, more power to you, I guess. I think that's letting the fascists win, since you've literally ceded ground. But I believe OP is looking for constructive solutions to discuss politics with a coworker to preserve the relationship, likely both for their sanity at work and because there's other things about the person they like.

  • Your friend loves your least favourite politician. What do you say?

    Jump

  • While I like the sentiment, it doesn't actually address OP's question. My guess is OP also hates fascists but has trouble discussing their opinions on politics with their fasc-curious friend for whatever reason, whether it's because they want to preserve the relationship or generally have trouble keeping up in a back and forth (which is totally fine, being quick-witted is not a requirement to hate fascists). What are your tips for approaching the conversation?

  • What they don’t teach you about Native American history in class (PBS)

    Jump

  • History class would he the appropriate place, what other subject were you thinking would teach you about him/those events? Not trying to be hostile, genuinely curious.

    What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did?

    Jump

  • I agree, season 9 gets way too much hate for basically being season 1 of a spinoff. There's a lot to like there and it never really had a chance to find itself before cancelation.

    Hollywood strikes to cost US economy $5 billion-plus amid lost wages, film delays

  • [Discussion] What is your go-to movie that you will never turn down?

    Jump

  • There's many but the classic action ones, for me, are The Rock, Con Air, Patriot Games, The Sum of All Fears, Air Force One, Starship Troopers, Pacific Rim, and Die Hard/er.

    On the lighter side, I'll always watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, Anchorman, This is the End, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and The Emperor's New Groove.

  • What ingredients or dishes lived up to the hype for you?

    Jump

  • Galangal. It actually does completely change the flavor, more so than makrut lime leaves.

    Cacio e Pepe. Simplest dish, can be tricky to get right, but so good when it all comes together.

  • What is the best "climate change" clothing?

    Jump

  • Or just wear a stillsuit.

  • What is an addiction many people don’t realize they have?

    Jump

  • To be fair, unless the act itself is interfering in your daily life, the real problem is probably porn addiction.

  • It's supposed to imply resources for the humans in the company as opposed to corporate resources.

  • Hackers Rig Casino Card-Shuffling Machines for ‘Full Control’ Cheating

    Jump

  • You mean the rumored several alternatives, that I asked you to elaborate on, and you told me to Google? Yes, clearly you listed specifics.

  • Hackers Rig Casino Card-Shuffling Machines for ‘Full Control’ Cheating

    Jump

  • Oh fascinating, the top response is working for a subscription-based publication that has editorial staff and pays them. The second is freelancing for a subscription-based publication by selling articles to them. Wow.

  • Either it's not paywalled for them or it's still good journalism and maybe journalists shouldn't work for free.

  • What are some good comedy series to watch lately ?

    Jump

  • Mix of both light and deeper shows here, mostly character-driven:

    Scrubs - Show about a group of residents at a hospital navigating their first few years of training.

    Cougar Town - Show about 40somethings in western Florida, the name has nothing to do with the show after the first five or ten episodes. Same creator as Scrubs. Focuses on the core group navigating life at 40 in Florida and their ridiculousness.

    Community - Show about a community college in Colorado that gets increasingly experimental in its story telling. Show focuses on the antics of the core group.

    Better Off Ted - Another show about 40somethings, this time in the corporate world. The name, like Cougar Town, has almost nothing to do with the actual show. Focuses on how this group tries to keep ahead of their soul crushing jobs for a corporation that's literally evil.

    Happy Endings - This time about 30somethings in Chicago who are all friends, two of whom are about to get married when the bride runs away at the altar. Really turns into putting this group into various scenarios to see how it plays out.

    New Girl - Show about a teacher in LA who moves into a loft with three guys (sometimes a fourth) and their subsequent misadventures in the city.

    30 Rock - Show about the cast and crew of an SNL-style variety show airing weekly on NBC out of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, grows increasingly absurdist over times.

    Arrested Development - About the son of a real estate tycoon who gets arrested for so many crimes and how he tries to keep the family business going despite the incompetence of the rest of the family (and occasionally his own incompetence).

    Bored to Death - About a writer who solves mysteries with his publisher and best friend (two different people).

    Only Murders in the Building - Show about three residents, two older and one younger, of a classic New York residential building that discover they like the same murder mystery podcasts and then start their own true crime podcasts when they discover a murder occurred in their building.

    Veep - About a put-upon Vice President of the United States and the general incompetence of her office and the administration. Surprisingly insightful satire of the actual executive branch in the United States.

    Silicon Valley - Show about a group of guys in Silicon Valley and their VC partners trying to build a startup.

    Happy to recommend more if you've got something more specific you're into.

  • I don't have a problem with random idiots, if someone genuinely likes Trump and believes in authoritarianism, that is fine by me. I don't like them, but at least they're engaging in good faith.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say they're engaging in good faith...
