I know, I thought the same thing. Matthew McConaughey is just a a dude that is in movies with his shirt off.

matthew-mcconaughey-image-294442-article-ajust_930.jpg

But he's in a show where sometimes he looks like this

matthew-mcconaughey-in-true-detective.jpg

and sometimes he looks like this

n-TRUE-DETECTIVE-MCCONAUGHEY-300x200.jpg

and does cocaine off a bowie knife

It's True Detective!

The best first season since Breaking Bad, True Detective is a murder mystery set in 90's bayou Louisiana. But it is so much more than that. It's like if the love child of Faulkner and Pynchon wrote Heart of Darkness and someone wanted to make a follow up to Twin Peaks.

I know that's all your favorite things! They're mine too.

Let's just say that, at the end of episode three, you see this

(spoilered for those who don't want to see anything until they see it in the show)

And an episode later, you're not even sure why that happened but you know it was awesome and something terrible is gonna happen

    Pods would you be mad or honored if I replaced my OP with that.

    Also I prefer this chat thread because other chat thread is too serious.

    Was listening to a podcast with Adam Savage earlier and they were talking about True Detective. He was like, yeah, I just saw the first episode last night, it was so great, and then when you get to that quote in spoiler above he was like, that was just a great way to end the episode.

    But the two co-hosts were like OH NO! YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE, and he was like, OH NO! WAS THAT NOT THE FIRST EPISODE?!?!

    I'm impressed that someone could jump in at that point and still follow everything, but it seems reasonable for this show.

    Get it? It's funny because "ter" is the first three letters in both Terry Crews and terminated.

    Giving Terry Crews very random one liners is the best parts of those films.

    thanks

    It's one of those things like

    a point I make in the thread is I feel like whether they intend to or not, a big chunk of the industry surrounding self defense and martial arts as it is taught and marketed to women is part of this patriarchal cycle of powerlessness that makes women vulnerable to assault by feeding them bad information and pumping up their confidence with wrongheaded ideas

    I feel it's important to bust those myths and to make sure that while there are options for people who are at risk to defend and protect themselves from assault, they are not what a lot of society is telling them

    Why am i always hungry?

    If you're always hungry, why do you care if you're hungry? Suffer mild discomfort by denying impulses, eat right, get swole.

    not necessarily

    in terms of actual protective power, a big ole dog is sort of a crap shoot

    your loyal pooch might come to your aid if someone harms you or they might just stand there and bark or assume you're playfully wrasslin', it kinda depends on the dog and how they're trained and a bunch of variables

    but there's been some unscientific evidence to suggest that a big ole dog serves as a pretty good deterrent to being harassed or attacked, because most people who would do such things don't want to take the gamble on whether that big mutt is gonna fuck them up or not

    in general I am pro-dog ownership and I think it's a good idea and I think if it would make you feel more safe it's probably not a bad idea, and I buy the idea that it serves as a fairly decent deterrent to shitheads who want to mess with a woman

    that said like anything of that sort, don't ever rely on it to keep you safe or think it makes it okay to do things that without it you wouldn't do, like walk alone at night through a poorly lit space or something
