War Room Lounge v117: It's best for those of us with no ambition to start with.

Trudeau went from a clear majority both in seats and votes in the last election to winning seats and losing the popular vote to the conservative's totally uncharismatic goblin/ogre hybrid leader Andrew freaking Scheer. If you aren't hearing complaints about Trudeau, you're not listening.

I'm talking about recently. Sheer is reduced to pitiful whining about who gets the credit for the measures the government is taking. Clearly, several own goals plus the multiple black face incidents hurt him in the election, but as I said prior to the election, I don't see any reason to believe anyone else would have handled the COVID-19 crisis any better than he. I guess I'm just surprised at the lack of the usual chorus of people making up stuff to complain about him.

Meh, there used to be flocks of birds bigger than that all over the world before the homo sapiens sapiens killed them off. Payback on humans is long due.

@good-faith poster Also maybe the zombies finally started to smell like corpses and it attracted carrion birds?

Finished Season 3 of Community.

Thoughts:

1. Season 1 is actually better than Season 2, or at least more enjoyable. On rewatch, Season 2 severely lacks flow: specifically, it lacks fast-paced and traditional-setup episodes to break up the novelty episodes.

2. Season 3 is definitely the most innovative and well-crafted season of any sitcom that I've ever seen. It's ridiculous how creative, well-directed, and insanely well-produced the episodes are. "Digital Estate Planning" is an especially underrated episode. I usually tire quickly of the animated episodes, like the Christmas claymation one, but the video game setup is just perfect, and it's tied into the actual real-life story instead of used as a figment of imagination.

3. The only downside to Season 3 is that it kickstarted Abed's character's move into legitimate mental illness and obsession with make believe; also, the Doctor Who stuff just isn't interesting to me.

Underrated funny moment from Season 1 imo:

Love that show so much.

Goes downhill a lot after s4 though.

Can someone please explain the prevalence of avid Trump supporters who turn out to be Canadian in the war room?

I feel like this is in some way GSP’s fault

They probably just hate the USA.

That's sort of crazy. What is it about that picture that makes you think he's a liberal?

No confederate and/or nazi flag.

I think you're confusing shit you read on Sherdog for public sentiment in Canada.

I also hate pineapple on pizza, but I'm just so patriotic I support it.

If you didnt steal Labbat beer from your parents when you were younger, then there is probably no way you would have any love for it. It's not a great beer, all the greatness is nostalgia based.

One person's nostalgia is another person's alcohol induced memory loss. When I was young and Blue was marketing really hard, I never saw anyone drinking it that wasn't pissed to the gills. Blue tastes like shit, but after the first couple, you hardly notice. Funny thing, Budweiser and Black Label had their moments of insane popularity due to successful marketing as well in the years after the Blue craze.

Of all the "fad beers" though, Blue is the trashiest.

You sure you wanna go down this road bro? I dont think you wanna go down this road bro.

I disagree. Season 6 was really good. Season 4 is the worst. I don't remember much about Season 5 other than that Jonathan Banks wasn't a great fit.

And why is that?

Yeah, when Dan Harmon left, the show wasn't the same. Then he came back, and they explained season 4 away by saying there was some gas leak. Then some major characters left and it didn't feel right. I still feel like the real show ended at season 3, and everything else was just extra.

 

[LuchaBear]

Couldn't watch Community anymore after Chase left.

I'll have to have another look at S6, don't think I even finished it. Have watched 1-3 many times though.

That's why I only drank 50 or as my French friends would call it, Cinquante.

I've had a sore rib since last October. I get that these things take a while to heal, but enough already, okay? Ribs are the retards of the human skeleton.

Also drinking a little before work because apocalypse.

I've only ever had blue at a bills game with a buffalo client, but I don't remember it being different from any other macrobrew.

[Fawlty]

I probably drank less than 10 times last year, and maybe 5 times so far this year. But I'm not any good at drinking so being scared is a reasonable reaction.
