ALIEN
Anyone watching Alien Earth?
I'm finding it baffling in terms of how bad it is, then amazing in the next moment, then dogshit in the next... Like this fight between an Alien in ep 3 was just so so so clunky n awkward. And even the small things... like why try be clever with the music.... Just go all out Jerry Goldsmith and Vangelis.... the metal dad rock shit isn't working as much as I love Tool... With a VHS filter, it's not far off from being a throwaway shitty 90s TV show....
Yet loving the world and concepts. Alien is a bit like Star Wars in that way... even when it's bad I still watch for some reason.
- I'm loving itYakuZoku
- It's fungrafician
- Agreed. I hate the Heroes (tv show) / kid stuff. Want it to be more gritty. I’ll stay with it. But I hope it comes around.hardhat
- I wanna see more ‘oh sh*t these things are running around again’ but I’m loving it even if it’s up and down, overall dopeprophetone

- Enjoying it, well most of itGardener
- On the fence still.. some good stuff, some not so good.dee-dubs
- I checked out on the second ep. Its a weird mix of good and bad for sure.webazoot
- I did think the opening with the Alien on the ship a couple of shots were completely 'man in a monster suit' which was a bad omen.webazoot
- Is't it basically the same plot as all the other Alien entries?jagara
- I'm really liking it so far. The lore they're adding to the universe is making my inner nerd happy.Akagiyama

- Haha. I love how this image inspired Grimsby town.Ianbolton
- mort_7
- yep. I'll watch thatIanbolton
- looks great. didn't know he had that in him but but now I see it's so obvious and perfect._niko
- listen to their podcast once in a while and the thing that strikes me is his jabs at his partners, rarely self deprecating but always attacking. Sure they're in_niko
- ...good fun and they take them as so but I always felt there was something underlying some pain and insecurity that makes him always attack before attacked._niko
- It’s just the Canadian way. Martin Short does the same thing.bogue
- So do I. But only with people I like.bogue
- same, bogue...
... also - you guys are all dicks. <3PonyBoy - lol Bogue, me too but I was starting to think I might be a dick, turns out I'm just Canadian! :)_niko

"Selling shit on FB Marketplace is like volunteering for a social experiment run by meth heads.
I listed a microwave for $50. Within 12 seconds my inbox looked like I was giving away crack rocks dipped in Jesus blood. First message “Is this available?” YES, Deborah. It was available 14 seconds ago when you asked, and it’s still available now that you ghosted me like my father.
Then come the bargain hunters. “Will you take $5, a coupon for Jiffy Lube, and a handful of my ex husband’s ashes?” NO, BRENDA. I don’t want your cremation starter kit. I said fifty bucks..
And why does everyone’s pickup plan sound like an FBI sting? Them “I’ll be there at 6.” Me “Cool.” 6 o’clock hits. Nothing. 7 o’clock. “Sorry, my cousin got locked up.” BITCH, what does that have to do with my microwave?Finally, they show up in a Prius the size of a lunchbox. Six grown adults hop out like it’s Cirque du Soleil.. trying to shove a microwave, two kids, and a pit bull into the backseat. Grandma’s smoking a Virginia Slim, the baby’s chewing on my extension cord. Whole scene looked like an episode of Intervention.
At that point I don’t even want the fucking money. Just take it. Take the microwave, take my soul, take the ghost of every bad decision that led me here.
Marketplace ain’t about selling shit. It’s a psychological test to see how far you’ll go for gas money before you set your house on fire."
- I tried to sell a pair of Balenciaga shoes, they wouldn't let me post the ad saying it's stolen goods - meanwhile the sneakers category was full of nike fakesgrafician
- < but for other electronics sales this situation is common, people are really really dumb
Same for Vinted or whatever other platformsgrafician - Well well, a liar AND a thiefWallaWalla
- Always end post with a para of basic location nearby landmarks, cash only, price firm for now, no trades, can’t deliver, cannot answer is it still availableprophetone
- Then ignore everything that’s not a real conversation initiated by someone who bothered to actually read the listingprophetone
- Only reveal address after a proper convo and when they’ve pinged you that they’re on their way and 20 mins outprophetone
- You still get ding dongs... ie. I had to list in-laws piano for free... very super clear listing that professional mover needed for safety etcprophetone
- First lady shows up in a Rav4 and asks me if ok if me and her lift it our of the house to street and get it into her car... lol!!prophetone
- People are dumb no matter how hard you filter, craft a listingprophetone
- 90% don't read the listing and post stoopid questionsgrafician
- Agreed you just ignore themprophetone
- I don't even bother buying records on FB marketplace, it's THAT badGardener
- We just bought a used truck on FB Marketplace and it was awesome. The truck is in great shape, and the transaction went very smoothly! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯elahon
- I’m posting up a used transmission to FBMP tomorrow god help meprophetone
- I use services that have a pay now option, that generates a shipping QR code. Minimal interaction. I ignore the bargain hunters and the physical pickup people.jagara

@Nairn; I think Mr Dobolina was kicked off QBN by JazX during the Llyod years or shortly after.

Either way, we're now at the age where the deaths of peers seeming shocking and unexpected, becomes, over time, a steadily increasing trickle that feels inevitable.
The 5th decade is known as sniper's alley by some. The idea being if you get through your 5th decade intact you're not suffering from anything pressing and could expect another 20 years or so.
I'm 55.
I either have 5 years or up to 25 years. Neither sounds great to me, but I'm still riding BMX and wondering what I'm going to do with my life.
Unless I am struck by a radical epiphany before death comes, I cannot think of a strong reason why I would try to resist its invitation. Life is good but we go when we go and there's no negotiation to be had.
I'm okay with the knowledge of my inevitable demise. It doesn't trouble me. It never has.
