Patrick Martin said:It’s always the same thing—constant bossing around. "You gotta do this," "you need to do that," "do it my way," "you will do it." Just endless, relentless micromanaging until they suddenly think they’re some kind of dictator.🤦

Charles Roberts33 said:Nice one, Patrick, you’re onto something here. It’s no coincidence that dark-haired women have been driving composers crazy for centuries.😉.

The whole notion that blondes are more attractive is mostly just a byproduct of Hugh Hefner’s magazines and early Hollywood—pretty much an American obsession.☕.

Patrick Martin said:Anyone actually know where that whole Hitler salute thing even came from?

Patrick Martin said:Anyone actually know how Marshall ended up with that nickname?

Paul Sanders5 said:I’m not even losing sleep over Kolinda. Honestly, people like her always end up landing some cushy gig in the European Union anyway. It'll be the exact same story for Plenković once he loses his seat—they won't give a damn about the fallout 😁

Rachel Cooper3 said:Perhaps this entire thing was orchestrated—a deliberate loss intended to maintain government stability.
Even Zoran's people are raising their hands in Congress to support Andrej Plenković. ☕

I wouldn't rule it out.

Her behavior lately has been quite strange.

Paul Sanders5 said:Look, Rambo is never gonna vote for the "lesser of two evils." Never. Only if some insane dictator takes over, just as an absurd example.

I’m glad you guys can do that, though. You probably voted for Milan Bandić in a dark alley too—as long as it wasn't the Republican Party, right? Honestly, that kind of logic is soul-crushing.🤷

Tonight I’m just gonna pour myself a shot of schnapps, watch these elections unfold through the news portals, and frankly, I don't give a fuck who wins. I'll be doing just fine regardless.

wiredrider9 said:And honestly, that’s facts—but here’s the kicker: why hasn't anyone actually opened an investigation into all those 90s sell-offs now that that absolute monster, the root of every single problem we have, is finally gone? Where's the deep dive into where all that money actually came from? We swap out politicians like we're changing clothes, but the habit of sweeping everything under the rug just keeps going. And what about the massive looting during the 2000s? Does that just not count?

Paul Sanders5 said:Good grief!

The Witcher series is easily one of the greatest RPGs ever made—one of the last true bastions of actual RPG gameplay before the flood of Bethesda garbage and cheap knockoffs took over. 😁

The Author is honestly an idiot and a total nightmare in RL. You could tell from what people were saying about him back in his home country; he sold off the book rights for the game for peanuts because he figured whoever made it wouldn't do a good job and thought the property had zero potential. Then, the game becomes this massive global phenomenon that puts him and his series on the map far beyond his own borders, and suddenly he's suing them and demanding more money. Typical.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have even touched this adaptation if The Witcher (especially the third one) hadn't become such a massive powerhouse in the industry.

Peter Thompson4 said:I mean, I guess so, but also kind of not? He was definitely a favorite, and honestly, the only reason I even picked up his book was because of how huge he'd become, but still... Just because something blows up in certain genre circles doesn't mean it's actually mainstream, because even after I finished the first book, I didn't feel like I really knew him, and riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiculously few people had ever heard of him before, yet now suddenly everything has flipped completely upside down...

Peter Thompson4 said:I don't think that's the only reason, honestly, because even George R. R. Martin was pretty much a nobody before his Game of Thrones series blew up.

Amanda Evans2 said:I can't help but wonder about the production value here; it honestly feels like it falls quite a bit short of the standard you'd expect from an HBO series of this caliber.
Netflix certainly puts out a massive amount of content, but they just don't seem to have that same level of polish or prestige...

Patrick Martin said:Look, you guys won't shut up about how much people trash the Church and its holidays, only to turn around and act like everything is fine once they can actually enjoy them. You know, because it's the end of the year and everyone’s suddenly in that chill, laid-back mood...
Well, that’s exactly why it’s set up this way. It’s designed to mirror the image of an ordinary person. A worker. A farmer. It offers us comfort. And hope. It puts some color into this otherwise rotten daily grind.

But no, you lot always have to find some hidden agenda or someone's selfish interest in it. So fine, if someone else wants to invent a "better" way, some "better" story or vibe—go ahead. Nobody's stopping you. 🤷

Just remember—and I’m telling you this straight—there isn't a better way to do things. And even if some "better" alternative actually showed up, you'd just end up circling back to this exact same thing anyway.

You guys just don't get it.☕
