  1. In Topic: Ye Big Movie thread

    Belle was an odd movie - there's not a lot of there there if that makes sense. It's beautiful and some of the action is great, but the story flat out does not make sense or cohere into something that's amazing.

  2. In Topic: What's messing with your groove?

    I don't know the dynamics of the workplace or the work friendship beyond that post, so keep that in mind as you read the following.

    For three years or so, this guy was coming over and chatting with you, where you would respond and keep it genial - even with the occasional ick story or talk from him. Then he offers you his number and help when you move to the town he's in, which he knows because you've told him.

    Your reaction of not wanting to do that was fine. The response of the weird joke took it from a blunt turn down to something stranger. The apology was fine - but did not come with a "sure, I will be friends with you outside work." I also consider that this guy is the guy who would say the ick stuff and so on.

    The ice cold response after is probably the best this particular guy can do. And you do miss the genial talk side, otherwise the story would have been told differently.

    Maybe there's room for the finding of an actual work friend who is also an outside friend - although it isn't going to be him for the ick stuff and so on - someday. Good luck.

  3. In Topic: The Cheap/Free Ebooks Thread!

    Iain M. Banks' The Algebraist is 2.99$ on Kindle​​​​​​​.

    This is probably my second favorite Banks book, so if you're on the fence, it's a very good read.

  4. In Topic: Amazon's new Lord of the Rings TV series

    05 August 2025 - 06:08 PM

    I dunno. It seems like a cost savings measure to move to England and the giant stages they use there for the Star Wars etc more than it is a thematic thing.

  5. In Topic: Identity Politics

    I think using our time on discussing big boobs and evolution may not be the most effective thing to do. Especially since there's not really big boobs havers or experts in this talk (at least right now).

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
