New Site Software / Theme
Is it me, or has the site been slow as shit for the past hour or hour and a half? This is the first time I have been able to get this page to load since my earlier post. The issue I had where I thought I could only upload previous attachments was because I was clicking on this folder, not realizing that I was supposed to be clicking on the text where it says "select files to upload" - won't forget it now that I've figured it out, but this current type of design/style where clicking on things that aren't obvious links or buttons is frustrating for this rapidly decaying Gen Xer. More a "man shouting at clouds" generally (I really hate Windows 11's redesign) and not a specific criticism of the new site...

2026 Celebrity Death Watch Pool
Not talking shit about anyone's entry in particular, but I feel like some of the "obvious gimme" kinds of picks (James Van Der Beek, Bruce Willis, etc.) are kind of cheap. I don't know what a perfect analogy is for how I view it as being against the spirit of the contest, or whether anything should (or can) be done about it for the official rules (and it's not like we're playing for money or anything), but the approach of just listing people who happen to be known to be terminally ill at the end of the calendar year seems a little lame to me. Maybe next year, along with the "one person under 40" rule, we have a maximum of one "known to be terminally ill" per entry?

I'm having issues with certain embeds doing weird shit (only showing a small portion of the tweet/post) - a few screeshots are (edit: NOT) attached. Before the update, I was having an issue where Twitter and Instagram embeds would hang up/take a very long time to load (freezing my page momentarily) and then once they loaded, my screen would quickly scroll down (maybe just all of the times I tried with nothing occurring at first, all happening at once? Not sure...). It was a pretty significant annoyance. It wasn't just here, but also on another forum (and I know its software/interface is buggy as shit). I figured it was probably just more fuckery from the lobotomites still working for Elon, but I thought this might be helpful to mention. Samsung S24+, Android 16, Chrome *well, it appears that I can't attach anything, not even a screenshot of the weird attachment screen that comes up, but the software seems to only want to allow me to attach files that I have previously attached to other posts. I get a message offering me the option to "insert existing attachment" which includes a screenshot I uploaded to this thread yesterday, and the most recent picture of the rotting gourds from the Halloween thread.

Trump mouthpiece 60 Minutes appears to be running a puff piece about bourbon tonight - what a coincidence.

Official "Fuck this stupid ass-commercial" thread
I'm really fucking fed up with all these "if you need this XXX but you get that XXX" commercials for State Farm. I would like to figure out who exactly is to blame for this competitive race to the bottom for idiotic insurance commercials, go back in time, and kill their grandparents.

What is the difference between the left setting (light bulb) and the right one (dawn/dusk)? Middle one (dark) is obviously different. I would prefer a setting where clickable things are a little more well-defined in terms of visible borders for where the "button" is, and an option to change the default font to something a little less tight and narrow might also be helpful, but as someone who is almost genetically predisposed to dislike format/interface changes, this seems far more seamless and nonintrusive than most such things, so thumbs up from this avowed change-hater.

Doomlet's big ticket Christmas present this year was a 3D printer. The first thing he wanted to print with it? A human leg.

Even worse than that dumb Honda commercial that's read forwards and backwards.

The Kali/008/crust punks of vengeance storyline of Stranger Things S2 is intolerably bad.

I don't generally have any issues with suspending disbelief when watching TV or movies, but I have a really hard time accepting that this tough-assed gang is primarily known for their deadly hats.

Good call. It's fun, but I feel like it gradually loses appeal after extended gameplay, at least when playing with the exact same players each time.

2026 Surly 10,000 Pushup Challenge
My right shoulder is still fucked up from the 2023 Burpee Challenge. Seems like the way I often sleep has something to do with it, and I aggravated it shoveling snow a few weeks ago. Getting old sucks.
