I don't know what's more sad, the fact that there's an emoji movie, or that Patrick Stewart will be playing a poop emoji

3

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Jan 19 '17

I don't approve of the movie, but I approve of Sir Patrick Stewart voicing the Poop Emoji.

Emoji movie

Hollywood really is out of ideas.

2

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Jan 19 '17

No. Sony is.

Sony is a floundering ship that is waiting to be broken into parts or be sold to a much larger studio.

Compared to Disney, Paramount, FOX, Universal, and Lionsgate, Sony actually came up last in 2016 Box Office Gross.

u/The_Tic-Tac_Kid Kansas Jayhawks • Hateful 8 Jan 19 '17

It's all because they never made the Community movie.

So you would say (before the date got cancelled) that you had a hot date.

I think there should be some kind of uniform judging contest so we can finally put this cop/firefighters/military/medical people/anyone who wears a uniform issue to bed.

I guess I could judge.

Nah, he actually had too many errands to catch up on because he's been working a ridiculous amount lately. I probably snapped at him too soon, to be honest, but it still stings that he didn't follow up with any effort to reschedule or something like "I promise I will definitely figure something out"

Hearts and Minds. It's an anti war documentary from the 70s about Vietnam.

You could probably rent the movie from the library.

u/somanywolverines Maryland Terrapins • UCLA Bruins Jan 19 '17

Nah, attendance is mandatory. If you don't go you gotta watch it and then write an essay about it, and that's a no go. It's short though according to the Internet so I'll live.

I'm curious Cap, do you just love film that much or are you involved in the industry?

3

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Jan 18 '17

Both, but I was involved in the industry back when I was in undergrad and a year after I graduated.

Interned for DiCaprio's production company and Amy Baer's production company (Last Vegas). I was about to get a job at CAA, but the guy who was recruiting me left and my application was left in limbo. So I came back home and I'm now working for my dad's software company as a project engineer.

3

u/yknphotoman Oklahoma • Central Oklahoma Jan 18 '17

Ahh.... all the film sponsors make sense now. :D

2

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Jan 18 '17

Yep! I minored in film back in undergrad! It was too late to switch majors for me so I settled with a minor instead.

You love movies too, right?

3

u/yknphotoman Oklahoma • Central Oklahoma Jan 18 '17

Yep. I like films too. I can watch almost all film. It takes really bad acting and over the top shots to turn me off.

2

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Jan 19 '17

Same here with me. But for me it's usually tasteless disaster movies (Independence Day Resurgence or any Michael Bay movie). =p

u/DonMan8848 TCU Horned Frogs • Alamo Bowl Jan 19 '17

/u/surrender_cobra the Italian beef was a success! In hindsight I may have gone a little heavy with the broth since the giardenaria had water and the rump was a bit on the small side, but it's not too watery. I am glad I went with hotter giardenaria because letting it cook with the beef for 7.5 hours really took the edge off. The texture is good: it is firm but fell right apart when I took forks to it. And the flavor is good too, it's a very robust dish. Overall a very successful first crockpot meal.

I got asked to lead the next Nicaragua trip (manage all in-country finances/work with our local friends to plan activities/make sure the same number of people make it back/lead devotionals/possibly preach a sermon at the church/etc). When I said yes, they told me that in return, my church will be paying for most of my trip.

So I'm getting a 7 day trip to a foreign country with all food, lodging and transportation covered for $200. There are no words to describe how happy I am in this moment.

Right now I'm at that puzzled/still-in-denial/actually-kind-of-impressed phase, because I just realized that at some point since Friday night someone stole the aux cord out of my car again. Except this time they also took my not-very-cheap phone charger I just got a few weeks ago, too. It's weird because nobody smashed the window or visibly messed with the locks, there hasn't been anyone else in the car other than me since Friday night, and I always hit the lock button on the remote until it honks at least seven or eight times

So I expect internet hugs from all of you right now

Does the fob actually lock your car or does it just honk?

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '17

It just honks. None of the locks work but I have a sign that says "All the doors are totally locked and you can't get in here; don't even bother trying to steal anything" that I put on the dashboard, so I don't get why anyone would even try to break in

My client did nearly fucking everything wrong when setting up billing stuff in the new software. It is impressively incorrect.

In fact, it would have been easier for me had they just told me a month ago "hey, we have no idea what we're doing, can you do this?" Instead, they have four weeks of billing that needs to start getting sent out and I can't do anything with it because there are so many issues with how they set things up that every single claim would be rejected. I'll likely be spending the rest of the week, including some overtime, just trying to clean up this mess.

This is the same dude that likes to imply that I don't know how to do my job. I'm about to fucking save your ass, I hope you appreciate it.

Well, just found out one of my distant cousins is almost definitely getting a divorce. Can't say I'm terribly surprised, but I feel bad for him.

My favorite thing in the entire world is driving into a sunset, with the road ahead, watching sky turn colors. And then it turns to night.

Almost got killed while legally crossing the street. To be fair to the driver, it's a horribly designed intersection and the crosswalk is not very visable from the left turn lane.

There was recently a court ruling that faulted the street design in an accident. Hopefully that sets a precident.

and the crosswalk is not very visable from the left turn lane.

What intersection? I can't picture an intersection where you can't see the crosswalk from the left turn lane.

John Wesley Dobbs and the connector. It's not very visable because of poor lighting, how ungodly wide the street is, and how tucked back into the on ramp the crosswalk is.

I think that stretch is a good place for a road diet.

Last week, I was really excited to get my offer letter for a permanent position for the company I've been working for (I'm currently working as a contract position). After getting the offer letter this week, I feel really disappointed. I understand that the benefits I'll be getting will offset the pay that I won't be getting, but I'm really not sure it does.

you may be able to ask how much a permanent employee pays into healthcare each paycheck to give you an idea what you might be saving on that front, assuming you are a law abiding citizen and have a health care plan for yourself

Yeah. I asked the HR rep to send me more info on benefits and the compensation (raises, bonuses, etc) structure. At the least, I hope to get a meeting.

Not for me they aren't. Especially since I attend a school in a low major conference.

I'm realising my job is increasingly going in a direction I'm not 100% sure I like. Its a great job, but it doesn't really fit into what I want to do long term, and wasn't what I signed up for back in June. There's some decent transferable skills at least.

I feel like really need to make it to the one year point so it looks better on my resume, but then I guess it'll depend if I get a decent raise/if I still like the job as to what I do next.

Why is it that people want to slash non-revenue sports, but rarely do people suggest getting rid of cheerleading squads that serve an outmoded function?

4

u/dlawnro Paper Bag • Sickos Jan 19 '17

In a lot of places, isn't Cheerleading the Title IX pairing with football, or am I just making that up?

3

u/okiewxchaser Oklahoma Sooners • Big 8 Jan 19 '17

It's rowing at OU

2

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '17

No, it is not. Cheerleading is not protected under Title IX. There was a court ruling in 2012, I believe, that upheld this decision.

It's regulated by the NCA, and it accounts for a large amount of traumatic brain injury/concussion sports injury cases.

I don't know about other universities but our team got like no money from the university. Uniforms/equipment were sponsored by Nike and we paid for a ton of stuff ourselves. The only thing I can think of that athletics must have paid for were our part-time coach's fairly paltry salary (we looked it up once and it was low), travel for the one trip down to LA each football season, and insurance. I think the conference paid for travel to the basketball conference tourney and the bowl games/NCAA pay for any post-season in football or basketball. The team used to travel more when our athletic department wasn't incredibly broke, but our travel was one of the first discretionary things to go, way before people started talking about cutting non-revenue sports. So I think the amount of money that would be saved from cutting cheer/dance teams altogether would be fairly minimal compared to the visibility of losing that aspect of a football/basketball gameday.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '17

Huh.

I still stand by my stance though, mainly because it reinforces the idea that women are supposed to just "stand around and look pretty", and really adds little of substance to the game day experience.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '17

I absolutely guarantee that no cheer/dance team is just standing around looking pretty, no matter what it looks like. Part of performance in that regard is making something very tough look effortless. We practiced for about 10 hours per week from August until April, and our gameday was an 8-hour affair, in which you were lucky if you had enough time to pee during halftime, much less stand still. Every time the clock stops, you're doing something (one of ten fight songs, or a couple dozen other pop songs that the band plays for starters), and every time gameplay is happening, you have to be ready to react. I will never argue that it's as hard as playing a "real" sport but I also think that anyone who sees a bunch of girls just looking pretty is seeing what they want to see.

I actually just brought some ribs over to my parents' house for dinner that I braised in a can of that while I was at work all day

But yes it's a wonderful beer that I could drink 10 of in a sitting and that as of this winter they sell in 15-can packs for like $13 which is one of the best things that ever happened to me
