Yes.

Arguing that I’m an idiot for thinking the housing bubble had anything to do with the financial crisis - that it was all the fault of the Fed screwing up and everyone should know this by now - while repeatedly refusing to provide any source, when the only source I can find is a couple libertarians.

I’m happy to listen to other’s contradicting points of view, but not to be called a moron for believing something that is widely believed to be true by pretty much 100% of experts in the field. And especially not if they’re going to refuse to provide a single source that can back up their claim while insulting me.

ETA: I guess after that exchange, I just don’t see the value in reading his seemingly confident analyses.

ETAA: my bar to ignore is actually pretty high. I think there’s only three on it: highangle, Leroy, and multi.

I stay out of the housing bubble thread.

That happened in the Bitcoin thread.

My ignores are to keep myself from engaging more than anything else.

I definitely stay out of the Bitcoin thread.

And that scans.

The bitcoin thread is too funny to ignore. I don't go there often--only when I'm down in the dumps and need something to brighten my day.

I've used it that way before, where I might still read the post but it was a reminder not to engage. I've also used it to completely ignore people and never read them. And there's some who I will read maybe 1 out of 10 of their posts.

Cracker Jacks annoy me

awww. was the toy missing or just not to your liking?

Those big bins with 3 kinds of popcorn annoy me. 1) the popcorn is shit 2) I can't stop eating it.

Haha. No, they keep giving out fukn drivers licenses.

The constant commercials about body deodorant for under boob, crotch, ass crack, etc….I don’t think anybody really wants to see/imagine this lady and her odors…

LOL

Instead of Cracker Jacks, my parents goto was maybe the person got their DL at Sears.

Jeff Daniels annoys me. Although he was good as the scumbag husband in Terms of Endearment. I think the worst was when he played George Washington on TV.

No, it would be annoying if McDonalds charged as much for their coffee as Starbucks does (although McD's coffee isn't exactly cheap, either, anymore).

Amazon drivers. Blocking parking spots at a business to run into an adjacent apartment building

Attachment 490718


And this Italian restaurant behind the red umbrella whose customers are constantly blocking the road as they try to figure out where to park, or stop in the road to drop passengers off.

Driver in the vw sat there the entire red light, apparently trying to remember how to parallel park. Meanwhile there are cars now turning onto the street and backed up into the intersection because of this idiot.

Awesome food at this place but it has been a nuisance since it opened.

Attachment 490719

Delivery drivers that park in handicap spots.
One a-hole jumped in his truck before I could rough him up. Looking forward to seeing him again one day.
The kicker was there where many other open spots but this f-stain wanted the extra space and this at a place that has many clinics for elderly ppl.

I don't stoop to watch such low brow fare but I did hear on the grapevine that you are correct. Type casting.
I think they cast him when Alec Baldwin is busy.

I liked American Rust.

Based on three episodes for review, Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave it a "C" grade, writing "There's a lot not to like about Rust, a dreary, well-acted, badly written chunk of misery porn" and that "the dialogue is all flatly expository". Handlen concluded with, "American Rust likely has a story worth telling, and a setting worth exploring, but this version fails to make much of a case for either."[28]

He was good in Something Wild

Skiing in glue annoyed me yesterday. Actually this was more like skiing in epoxy.

However the view of the big lake they call Gitchee Gummie was not annoying.

Gentlemen please, .......
Gettysburg, The Newsroom, Godless, ..... etc.

Granted when he's trash, he's really trash, but when he's good .......

He's an actor of the old school--the same no matter what role he's playing. That works when you're Humphrey Bogart, not so much when you're a smug face I want to punch. He's ok when he happens to fit the part and embarrassing when he doesn't. But obviously it's a matter of taste. Speaking of one note actors, I caught parts of several Cary Grant movies on TCM during Oscar month--I hadn't realized how annoying he actually was. I've been ruined for old movies by how good present day acting and screenwriting can be. (Full disclosure--I've never seen a Marvel movie.)

Kevin Costner is another one note actor. He was good in Bull Durham and the Upside of Anger, but although it was a good movie, in Dances With Wolves traumatized civil war vet meets Valley Bro doesn't work. There's a reason he's in a lot of baseball movies.

I've found Jeff Goldbloom to be the same.
Good if he's cast as the crazy chaos scientist, otherwise not so much.
Super stiff bitd on SNL.

Don’t be a snob, Dumb and Dumber is comic genius. He was good in Godless as well as Something Wild

Are you just going to start naming all actors? Costner was good in No Way Out and Mr. Brooks

OK, boomer.

Day three of a downslope east wind. Annoys me greatly.

Is this a joke or are you serious? If it's not a joke all I can say is "lighten up, Francis." :)

Dumb and Dumber is both timeless and flawless.

I'm not a huge fan of Jim Carrey and his comedy but Dumb and Dumber is good.

The Cherry Creek Mall annoys me

I liked Jeff Daniels in both Traitor and The Catcher Was A Spy.

I'm sorry. That made me laugh. It's really not in the slightest bit funny.

Wait .... You said you liked modern acting and writing. They're neither.

Stop taking the piss.

I was picking up a six pack and a burrito in SIlverthorne last Thursday when there was a family that came out of the restaurant where the mother had a little girl by the arm sorta dragging her along in an angry fashion. The little girl looked bewildered while the mother was yelling under her breath "you need to learn to be nicer to people who aren't like us". Yup, the mother, who I'll refer to as Karen, was as white as the driven snow. The town was full of people who got kicked off I70 and the Mexican place was full of all stripes and colors. The little girl was probably parroting something she heard at home.
