There was quite a bit of devil's advocate within that spoiler tag fwiw. Still though, Walt GOAT.

I mean Walt is a pretty awful person, but part of the intrigue of the show is seeing a physically unremarkable middle-aged man become a stone cold badass who can hang with literally anyone in the dark seedy underworld of the drug trade. There were sequences where I rooted for him and sequences where I rooted against him. A fictional TV character being interesting and conducive to a great plot is more important than any moral judgments I can make about them. With that in mind, I love Walter White. I also love basically every member of the Corleone family.

I'm embarrassed by the insistent overrating of True Detective. Yes, its good, but the way some people go on about it is cringeworthy.

My gf watches True Detective but I haven't really paid any attention to it. I might give it a proper go at some point, but prob when there are more episodes out.

On an completely unrelated note, I could listen to Positively 4th Street by Dylan over and over all day. Every day.

I haven't seen the latest episode of True Detective, but so far so good.

FWIW it doesn't draw me in the way Breaking Bad and Mad Men did from the start, but I'm definitely still going to keep watching it.

Awesome.

I have to admit though, I saw him live in 2004ish and it was probably the biggest disappointment of my life. The songs were barely recognisable; he must have been playing Like A Rolling Stone for about ten minutes before I realised what it was. And that's one of my favourite songs ever. On the other hand I saw the Stones the same year and they were ****ing awesome.

Stones were embarrassing last year. If I wanted to see a bunch of old farts prancing about on stage I'd head to my local boozer on a Monday night.

Btw. I love the Walter White character and count him as one of the GOATs, I just wanted every bad thing in the universe to happen to him

I mean I suppose I understand. I still hate that guy from the Green Mile who stomped on the mouse and was generally the biggest ******* I can remember in a movie. Like...that character was such an ******* that I then saw an interview with the actor and was still just going "oh **** you." Then he turned out to be hugely creepy in real life and married some 16-year-old when he was about 50, so I feel post hoc justification for my irrational hatred of him before.

When an employer offers you free lunch, but it basically obligates you to eat with co-workers whether it's in a meeting or not, it's such a racket. Most of the value of lunch isn't in the food, but in the ability to get away from these people for a short time. I'd rather pay for lunch and be alone than to eat for free in captivity.

I find that if I'm working somewhere and I don't like the people, it's not worth it. I go out for lunch with people I work with all the time, and routinely still meet up with people who migrated away to different jobs, or ones who still work at places I left.

Seems to me a bit of an old man thing.

Ive been playing dealers choice poker games with the boys during coffee break and lunch. Better than eating on my own.

As long as I can avoid coworkers talking about work sucking, I enjoy eating with mine (but most here hate working here). I try to steer the conversation to how we can improve morale and create incentives to stick around, and it stumps everyone
