Really smart, sensitive person but someone who definitely wanted to be left alone. I feel like I'm the only person who finds Kareem completely relatable. I was just telling a friend of mine how I kind of wish my boss completely forgot that I exist, so he would stop trying to be chummy with me. He's on vacation and yesterday there was a whole conversation around me in the office about how a bunch of people miss when he's in the office because he is an actual good dude who people like. I just prefer to be left alone. Kareem was a top 5 player of all time and that's all he really wanted to give the public. That's a whole hell of a lot to give, and people kept asking him for more. I completely relate to him not wanting to give anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I can relate. I'm a pretty private person, and if I was rich and famous people would think I was a jerk, because I'd give them NOTHING. . . .(personality wise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 so, The Expanse… I know the last three seasons were on Amazon, but the first 3 were on Syfy right? If so, that’s surprising, since they drop f bombs like crazy sometimes. I also do not like the actors for Chrisjen and Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I've thought Martha Stewart was a sociopath already, but her Colbert Questionnaire really proves it. She even chose oranges over apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Oranges are only superior to apples when compared to a red delicious. Other apple varieties destroy oranges, but I wouldn't kick an orange out of bed for eating peanuts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, driver said: eating peanuts I am obligated to give Colbert's eternal apple response: "You can eat peanut butter with them." And yes, Red Delicious not so good, every other one awesome. The main thing with an apple is you don't have to fight it to enjoy it. Oranges seem built to keep you out, and a big bit of the white rind will ruin your meal. You don't even have to peel an apple. The core has to be disposed of but that's no problem. Plus, you can let your dog chew around the core to get the bits you didn't and that is fun. But really this isn't about that answer; Stewart just comes off like a dangerous robot person. Someone to run away from. Like if you ripped her scalp off it would reveal a T-800 or a lizard alien from V.

I think as a rule apples are better than oranges, but you're much more likely to find a mealy terrible apple than a bad orange. An orange is high floor-low ceiling, but an apple is low floor-high ceiling. At it's worse an orange is flavorless, but not inedible. You'll spit out a bad apple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Point(s) taken. A mealy apple is just as bad as chewing on orange rind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a bad Fuji, Granny Smith or Pink Lady apple and I've never had a bad orange(no matter the variety), That being said both apples and oranges are preferable to pears. I've only ever had one type of pear that ever had any flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 McKay with this subject matter, where there's less temptation to preach, is a welcome reprieve. And I say that as someone who's enjoyed some of that output. Is this meant to be a one-and-done mini-series? Not ongoing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I really don't quite understand what's going on with Billions, but Chuck is a dick, Prince is an obvious face, I think the writers want us to view Chuck as the face and Prince as the heel, and for a show that really, really, really leans heavily on pro wrestling, they could aim to be less like WWE's trash booking. Like, if it got announced that this was Giamatti's last season and Billions would continue on with Prince as the lead, just going around trying to be the best of the billionaires, then that would be a lot better than what they're trying to do now.
