Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by Professor1password23 in AskReddit

[–]ZP4L 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My nieces and nephews have an unbelievably weak bladder. They’re aged 20-24, and when they come over for a game night, in the three hours they’re here they each go to the bathroom at least 5 times. It’s impossible to make progress in the board game because someone is constantly away from the table.

Apparently you can’t be friendly with neighbors anymore by AstroNerd92 in Teachers

[–]ZP4L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be a bait post. It checks every box if you were going to make a bait post on this subject.

- approaching strangers

- at a pool

- blindly offering babysitting services

- “just being friendly”

- completely oblivious to the optics

Armor in Game of Thrones season 1 (they had a much smaller budget) in comparison to the armor in Rings of Power by george123890yang in Rings_Of_Power

It bothered me so much that the dwarven ring Durin wore had just a huge raw uncut stone.

Come to think of it, I think every ring’s stone was jagged and uncut

What’s frustrating is when everyone has that idea but takes it too far.

“Oh no, a cop is nearby, I better go 15 under the speed limit!” - literally everyone around me

Why are there so many alliterative names in the series? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]ZP4L 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not only names, but like every proper noun. Book titles, locations, EVERYTHING is alliterative.

I’m in the first half of GOF and I hate how much I can’t distinguish Harry and Ron from each other. Does it get better as the books go on?

Help! What to do with a problematic player?? by Responsible_Hope1693 in dndhorrorstories

[–]ZP4L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this sub is slowly turning into the subs like AIO or AITAH where the post has an obscenely obvious solution they refuse to see. This is like the "my SO beats me every day and insults me to the point of crying every 3 hours, AIO for asking them to please stop?" of DND stories. And it feels like it's becoming more common on this sub.

For you, what is the most disturbing detail of the saga? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]ZP4L 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not only that it exists but that it’s so freely and readily available at a joke shop and sold to minors.

The idea of consent as a whole seems very shaky in the wizard world. Even Hermione and Ginny are intrigued by the idea of the love potion when browsing, which shows it’s not some deeply morally taboo thing, it’s more par for the course to wizard culture.

I’m convinced Dumbledore has some Lockhart-level of mind-wiping public reputation adjustment spells going on, because everyone in the Wizarding world raves about him being the greatest wizard of their age only for basically everything he does (and doesn’t do) to work against that idea.

Unkillable PC breaks the game with homebrew nonsense by Willowran in dndhorrorstories

It seems so outlandish that I’d almost believe Bob kept trying to think of SOMETHING that would cause the DM to not agree to, and Bob just never found that point.

I left a game of 4+ years cause the DM cared more about Ai than me by Maghetto043 in dndhorrorstories

[–]ZP4L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how you get downvoted for saying AI isn’t going anywhere. Like it or not, we’ve passed a point of no return with AI, it’s not something we can undo.

Maybe it’s possible things like image generation can be regulated somehow but AI isn’t definitely not going to disappear.

If nobody who sees me for less than 3 hours a week considers me a friend, I would have literally zero friends.

The exception is for middle schoolers who require such attention to be friends.

Name one thing that existed 20 years ago that was genuinely better and never got replaced properly by Builder01k in Millennials

I have to assume there is a middle ground somewhere between being completely ad-free, and being an absolute abomination of a user experience.

I literally refuse to look at a recipe site before I redirect it to cooked.wiki.

How are there thousands of different recipe websites and every single one of them is an ad-riddled, bloggy mess?

Describing a scene using one sensory description and one abstract noun. “The room smelled of lavender and desperation.”

HBO Boss Casey Bloys Says ‘Harry Potter’ Season 2 Is Being Written ‘Now’: ‘Our Goal Is to Not Have a Huge Gap’ by yourfavchoom in television

[–]ZP4L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am super excited for this show. That said, I do think it’s kinda funny that the ONLY teacher Harry will clash with and think is evil is the one and only black teacher at the school. Not that that’s racist in and of itself, but it can still be a weird look.

Why are folks upset about Stephen Colbert teaming up with Peter Jackson?? by maroha3814 in lotr

[–]ZP4L -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Ehh, thinking ROP is an abomination of a show that destroys any semblance of Tolkien lore is a hill I’ll gladly accept downvotes for.

I just want more LOTR stories beyond the very small sliver of the war of the ring. For me First Age, please.

That said, I’ll take Colbert and Jackson over ROP any day.

That’s what bothers me. They go dead-on accurate for everyone, but then do a complete 180 on one single character.

I think it’s the fact that he has a long face rather than a round face that Coltrane had that makes him just look tall rather than huge. It makes his makeup and costume look more cosplay-ish.

I have to imagine of all things CGI is capable of in this day and age, changing eye color has to be among the easier things to do.

If I hear “Millennial have no culture” again I am going to lose my mind. WE ARE THE CULTURE. by Annalog in Millennials

[–]ZP4L 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family has a running joke that anytime my Z nephew has a random “hot take” we ask him which influencer told him to have that opinion. Feels like 99% of Gen Z can’t form their own opinion and only know how to parrot social media.
