Does every stadium need a nickname? Seems like they've been rolling out a lot of crappy stadium nicknames in the last 2-3 years. I just heard the announcers for TTU vs TCU refer to TTU's stadium as "The Jones." I'm okay with "The Horseshoe" or "The Big House" or "The K" but I think they've taken things too far with "The Jones."

Usually used in relation to a movie that a person likes: "[movie title] is [director's] love letter to [subject/time period/place/anything]."

Not much of a cinephile, what would be an example of this?

The Big Lebowski is the Coen Bros. love letter to the underbelly of Los Angeles.

Every Woody Allen movie is a love letter to wherever the movie is set

When people make a post about some rumor without saying what happened. Then you dig for it and it’s not anywhere to be found.

when people at the gym leave their shower and leave the shower curtain closed behind them so the next person doesnt know if there is anyone in there or not and has to awkwardly peek in to find out if it is empty

When you try to open a new bag of shredded cheese and you tear exactly where it says TEAR HERE but the package is still sealed and you didn't even get down to where the zip seal part is.

I have the opposite problem where the tear goes too low and my fat American fingers don't have enough material to grip open the zip seal

"SPORTS TEAM" NATION

Also, I get annoyed at NBA Twitter constantly complaining about how NBA Twitter just wants to talk about stats and stuff and not enjoy games.

When I start a Peloton ride and forgot to turn on the fan. When I drop my towel on a ride.

Also, am I the only one that thinks its ridiculously hard to plug in an HDMI cord to the back of a tv? Unless I have complete and total access to the back of the TV it is nearly impossible to get the damn thing in the slot. I have a TV on the wall that I had to move some stuff around and it took me an enraging amount of time to get the HDMI cords back in.

the faux caring is the cringey part. They don't give a crap, they just want to hit their numbers!

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #1799 on:** November 30, 2021, 01:42:20 PM »

Oh, noooooo!!! They want to do their business and supply people with employment at the same time. MONSTERS!
