Happy Endings- the sitcom we deserved but couldn't have
Daman Wayans Jr. chose this show over New Girl after being offered pilots in both. I'm not sure what race Junior Miller is, but sorry if the show isn't black enough for you.

Donald Trump 2019
As if I'm going to listen to the opinion of the guy who made Billy Bob play concussed and would just inject cortisone into Wendell Brown's knee to keep him on the field. Honestly, it's weird to me how many Republicans today invoke Lincoln as "their guy" while half of them simultaneously wave their confederate flags.

GEORGIA CAN SUCK MY DICK
. Fuck him too. Well, I gotta have respect for any man in the latter half of his life built like this without lifting a single weight: Also, thanks to Herschel Walker the Dallas Cowboys went from one of the worst teams in the NFL to 3 time Superbowl Champions.

Happy Endings- the sitcom we deserved but couldn't have
I apologize if I brought on comparisons to Friends. I don't think the shows are anything alike. Just the pilot descriptions and it ends there. I'd like to say Happy Endings is the show Friends wishes it could be. Unfortunately, Friends probably gets more views on Netflix in a month than Happy Endings got in its entire run. It's a shame, because Happy Endings is such a better show and it's not even close.

27 year old dating an 18 year old
I'm not judging the OP. I had a dalliance with a 19 year old at the age of 30. Neither of us took it as more than casual sex. This thread reminds me of the late night commercials on Comedy Central for the "We are 18" phone sex lines. Like seriously, who would call those even if you were desperate and wanted to talk to a woman. What the fuck would a random 18 year old have to say to me that's interesting? What's the warm up conversation like? Is she going to talk about what happened in her freshman English class that day? I've forgotten more about sex than any 18 year old girl knows about it. Where are the "We are 30" phone sex commercials?

Donald Trump 2019
Yes, keep blaming Democrats for Trump. Nevermind that he beat a field of 16 Republicans to even make it to the general election, but I bet you think Hillary Clinton had something to do with that. And, yes, places where people actually live, like those 480 counties, have issues that need addressing because people actually live there. Congrats to Trump on winning 2600 counties full of corn fields. Not a lot of homeless people living in corn fields. If you think Trump cares about anything other than lining his pockets with tax payer dollars you're an even bigger idiot than I previously took you for. Enjoy voting for Trump in 2020 while he loses to whichever of the 247 Democrats he ends up facing in the general.

Happy Endings- the sitcom we deserved but couldn't have
Yeah, that's the joke. The synopsis makes the shows sound exactly the same, but the shows couldn't be more different. In "Friends" Rachel runs into her high school friend after running out of her wedding, moves in with her, and her friend's brother is in love with her after divorcing his lesbian wife. Also, and most importantly, "Friends" was your typical multi-cam sitcom with the laughing studio audience standard sitcom. Happy Endings' pilot was two of the friends in the group getting married when the bride runs off with another man. The show goes into how their ruined relationship affects the dynamics of their group. It's also a single cam show with no audience or laugh track and super fast paced witty dialogue like 30 Rock.

The National
This is where I'm at. Some of my favorite bands have female singers, old and new. But Matt's voice is the signature stamp of their sound. Occasional female harmonies would have been fine. But hearing half the songs with females singing lead makes this album my least favorite since probably their debut. Loving some of the songs like Not in Kansas, but this isn't an album I think I'll ever be able to listen to straight through from start to finish.

GEORGIA CAN SUCK MY DICK
I've always hated Georgia for costing us a national championship. I hate Georgia and their excuses for getting dick slapped by us because apparently "they didn't want to be there." You know, since Georgia is so used to always playing for national championships and all (eye roll). But I'll be damned if Herschel Walker won't always be one of my favorite non-UT players.

Westworld Season 2
I loved the movie. I loved season 1. I tried to convince myself that I loved season 2 when it aired, but looking back it really was a convoluted shit show that took itself way too seriously,

Happy Endings- the sitcom we deserved but couldn't have
I honestly don't get some of the hate in this thread. For me, this was the best sitcom since 30 Rock. It was possibly better. I get that the humor probably goes over the head of the Chuck Lorre crowd. I own the first two seasons on DVD, but the network didn't support the show enough to give it a proper season 3 DVD. If you look it up on Amazon or wherever you're paying for what's basically an overpriced bootlegged DVD of the show. So I bought the season on Amazon to just stream whenever I feel like watching it. Also, it's weird trying to explain one of my favorite shows to friends who've never seen it. Me: "So, yeah, it's basically a comedy about these six 20/30 something friends, 3 guys and 3 girls, who live in the city after a bride runs out on her wedding." Them: "Oh, you mean it's 'Friends'"? Me: "Ugh. No, it's not fucking "Friends."

Terminator 27: Dark Fate -- Nov 2019
You guys are justifiably jaded by T3, Salvation, and Genisys. This one is going to kick ass. I'm calling it now. I only wish they'd go back to the spirit of the first Terminator and not T2. Terminator was a great, simple sci-fi horror flick. It was basically "It Follows" with a future cyborg instead of a STD demon.

Barry: new HBO show
I've been trying to fast forward through life for a while now. Unfortunately, this shit is stuck in real time.

Barry: new HBO show
Man, I hated Samwell Tarly's character on Game of Thrones. Fast forwarded through all his scenes. I'm sure it made the show better.

Barry: new HBO show
I'm not disputing that it's not possible to fast forward through a scene, I'm saying you're either full of shit or an idiot to do so.

Barry: new HBO show
I honestly don't believe the fast forwarding B.S. Even if you don't particularly care for her, you have no idea when she could say something completely pivitol that alters the course of the show. But feel free to watch only 20 minutes out of 25 minutes of a great show because you're not in love with one of the characters. There's been plenty of shows where I dislike certain characters. I've never once fast forwarded through their scenes because I want to see the show as it was intended.

tahoe, suburban, FJ cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover?
Looks great but you need to lift it about three to six inches to let everyone know that you're a bit insecure in your manhood.

The National
The National are my favorite band and have been since "Trouble Will Find Me," but I'm not yet sold on the new compilation album of songs occasionally featuring Matt Berninger. Need a few more listens.

tahoe, suburban, FJ cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover?
I'm a huge fan of the idea of jeeps just from the looks and brand. Unfortunately, the only two I've had experience with were unreliable. My YJ had a number of issues with less than 85,000 miles. A family member has a 2015 Cherokee and has already had a transmission issue (luckily it was still under warranty). I agree with the 4runner. Toyotas are not only reliable but the 4runner, IMO, is one of the most rugged and best looking SUVs on the road.

Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
Damn, this reminds me I forgot to DVR the first of Klepper's new docu-series. He was IMO the best of the Trevor Noah era Daily Show news team.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (NO BOOKSPOILERS) thread
I was watching a recap on Youtube and this would have been the undisputed greatest show of all time had the fat man finished the books. Up until the Viper and the Mountain fight, this show was perfect TV. I still love the show, but it's a shell of its former self. Reminds me of how far Lost fell after season 3.

Game of Thrones Season 8 (NO BOOKSPOILERS) thread
Y'all should check out the bookfags thread if you haven't. There's no spoilers. They've had no idea what's going on for roughly 3 seasons now. They're just unnecessarily smug about it. There's one episode left and Lady Stoneheart ain't coming.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
"Take the loss, pussies" was the funniest thing when Sam said it to OU's QB. Unfortunately, TTomTerrific has ruined that phrase forever by repeating it 94568765 times in this thread and I fear he's not done. Maybe he doesn't remember he's already said it a couple dozen times. Who knows?
