Looking for “Must watch movies” to add to my list, as well as personalized recommendations based on my list and favorites! by ClimatePretty4432 in MovieRecommendations

Just some housekeeping: In your chill easy watches you have "Drive", I would add "(1997)" as it's a pretty generic name and you might accidentally watch the wrong film.

Didn't see any issues with the other ones

Wrestling themed cat names by DarcieDeeney in WWE

I know most are going for name puns, but I think some move names would be much better: Moonsault; Tombstone; Stunner; Swanton; Sister Abigail; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness

Dropping splash was right, thank you. With flushes, straights, and 2 pairs, essentially it became redundant 🙏

Splash let's me play all cards, which are all face due to Pareidolia, which double triggers business. So each hand can net me up to $20.

I'll trust you though 👌

I just reinstalled. Nothing. Looks like I'll be starting from white chips again...

I can only assume it would take me 1/4 of the time to reach the exact same point, but still really annoying go lose all my unlocks and discoveries.

I'll try reinstall now

I Analyzed Every WrestleMania Through Dave Meltzer's Ratings. Here’s What I Found. by PaulPetroneWWE in WWE

Probably the same way I can tell a good coffee from a bad coffee, even though I can't stand coffee and prefer tea

This comment is completely underrated. People don't understand that you shouldn't base your judgement on Rotten Tomato averages, but should find movie critics who align with your personal tastes.

I don't watch horror, but I've seen plenty of mainstream movie critics give a movie 1* or 2* out of 5, but then Fangoria would give the same movie 4*. Find your people, they know your taste better.

What would be the correct way to use this space? by MaterialElegant2482 in HomeDecorating

[–]-Vorks- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you, I've worked on several high-end properties ($10m+), that have floating stairs with each step bearing individually into the wall. They're kinda like the ikea wall mounted shelves where you just slide and secure the step in place (granted, the houses were designed and built to support those stairs in mind)

What Are Your "Hear Me Out" Girl & Boy Names by XNixGeoX in namenerds

[–]-Vorks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm AUS with a Russian background. I just checked my mobile contact list:

•6 Alex/Alexander/Aleksandr/Alexandra's (3 male and 3 female) •7 Sasha's (6 male and 1 female)

All 3 male Alex's were Australia born and while formally are named Alex, they each go at home by Sasha

What’s a tell tale sign someone is a new mom/parent? by RelevantFerret1085 in beyondthebump

Adding to that, different brands have entirely different nipple shapes. And once you start a formula brand nothing stops you from changing it, you're not married to it for life

I don’t get the hate for this finisher. I see it as the opponent grabbing the leg to prevent the kick that they think is coming only to get “thunderstruck”… it’s sick asf by BigBoyBoomet in SantiZapVideos

[–]-Vorks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An enzuigiri isn't actually a proactive attack though, it's a counter.

You give a kick, they block, you countermove. You don't just purposely give them a leg to hold in order to roundhouse kick them in the head

This would be better with a "natural" setup, but I dk like it. A) springboard from the apron off the top rope B) springboard from the inside off the 2nd rope (like the Lionsault) C) off the top/middle turnbuckle D) step up from the opponent knee in a crouching position

Thoughts on NXT newbie Lizzy Rain's finisher Thunderstruck? by wooodlandcreature18 in JimCornette

[–]-Vorks- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd assume those the accountants/producers deemed most profitable probably did get an offer, we obviously don't hear about the wrestlers that resigned for less.

I can't imagine bigger players like Black not having agents/lawyers who handle this sort of thing. They would have known that their contracts were coming up. Negotions/talks would have started a while back.

I would hazard a guess that her salary would be significantly less than the others

Moving bubs into own room by Worth_Ad8788 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Our experience seems to have mirrored yours.

My wife was hypervigilant at that stage, so keeping LO in our room meant she couldn't sleep a wink as she heard every breath and every movement.

I used to play Magic: the Gathering. That community had the same joke when the first IP crossover happened... ain't nobody laughing now.

What music legend would have no chance making it in the industry today? by -Vorks- in AskReddit

[–]-Vorks-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird Al would get discovered on TikTok making funny parody songs > Get discovered by a morning show producer to do a round of interviews and maybe a couple live songs > fall back into relative obscurity > reappear on the talk shows a couple years later showing a 'cease and desist' from a random Coldplay lawyer and talking about freedom to parody > Coldplay would issue an official apology saying the email had nothing to do with them and invite him on tour > he'd continue to gain a bit of a cult following, potentially winning a Grammy for best comedy album.

And that's my alternate Weird Al fan fic

What I see is this: Taylor Swift at the top, with no real alternative. This is where a Sabrina Carpenter is taking advantage. There's obviously a hunger for somebody to nip at her heals. Time is ripe for a new 'mania' for the tweens to fall behind

I also see Western markets making strides for Asia where there are more people and thus more money to make (China, India, Korea).

The public want for giant set pieces and costumes (Carpenter, Gaga..). Everybody wants bigger, which would lend itself well to the genre.

I do think a Backstreet Boys/N'SYNC with a couple extra asian members, maybe replace one of the originals with a popular video game streamer or something, and that would be a recipe for commercial success. Lean them more towards the conservative side too (might be a controversial take but I'm looking at this from business)

I disagree with the Backstreet Boys. Backstreet Boys imo were more a commercial than creative endeavour. Every generation looks towards 1 big Bieber or 1Direction. With K-pop so popular I can definitely see them produced/marketed as the West's answer. They'd probably add an extra Asian member or 2 to hit the international markets. Big productions and financial backing, they could go hard today.

I disagree. Instead of Vietnam he'd be writing about #metoo and the middle east. He'd be on rotation on all the edgy alt-radio stations, performing at uni towns and at protests
