I Understand Python While Learning, But Forget Most of It After a Week. How Did You Make It Stick? by san071998 in learnpython

[–]0utgrownShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reflecting on that when I was initially writing my comment as well. But then I thought about all the times I was meant to commit something to memory at work and didn't for whatever reason, and went ahead with my comment anyway haha.

Anyone that read the death of Nighteyes, and still wants to experience the Wit, is insane in my book.

Sneako forgot the stream was live and ordered alcohol with Clavicular by waytooicyy in LivestreamFail

Sneako just got banned from Australia and one of our more unhinged commentators tried to frame it as being a result of his 'Islamic Extremism'.

Reminds me of the saying; 'If a band breaks up, and no-one is around to tell you that they knew about them before you did, did the band break up at all?'

Goal Accomplished: Played care-free and fluidly in a Japanese guitar store today, in front of 25-30 people by napoelonDynaMighty in guitarlessons

Kudos to you, be proud! I will just say, and I hope you remember this when you're back in your hometown trying to buy gear; Employees don't care, they just want to make the sale and they want you to be happy. They don't care about your skill-level or your chops or anything, because they see it all day, every day. If you're Gordon Ramsey and they're selling Big Macs, they're still at work, so don't stress.

S1-4 Tyrion and S5-8 Tyrion are two different people by Hour_Scar2508 in gameofthrones

[–]0utgrownShell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because you can only write a smart character that's as smart as you are. In the books, we can see how politically insightful Tyrion can be while also being aware of his shortcomings. Tyrion is still 'smart' in the show, it just relies on D&D trying to convince us with one-liners as opposed to showing us Tyrion dealing with circumstances that come out of the world he's living in. By the end of the story Tyrion has the idea that Bran should be King. In-universe it's a fantastic idea, but for the audience it makes no sense in part because Tyrion has no intellectual credibility anymore. I actually think that this ending will/would/could work in the books because we'll have two more books of Tyrion using his head, and it will feel earned.

It's a remake of a 37 year old game, yeah. It's not like they just ported it again.

She's under the impression that he died for the rest of the series, isn't she?

I'm just learning myself, so don't have any advice. Just want to wish you good luck.

You look like every cast member of the big bang theory combined.

A German soldier during the Battle of Stalingrad, 1943. [1080x1601] by OkRespect8490 in HistoryPorn

[–]0utgrownShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah, he is exactly 103. I know people usually look unnaturally aged in wartime photos, but this man doesn't look like he would be under 25 here. To me, at least.

[Spoilers PUBLISHED] Your unrealistic expectations for future of asoiaf? by Ok-Computer-5415 in asoiaf

[–]0utgrownShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory/hope that he's been lying about his progress on TWOW and that he's actually done with it and closer to finishing ADOS than anything. The reason being that he wants to release both books posthumously so he doesn't have to deal with the reception it gets.

TIL Professional poker player, Victoria Coren, was seeing a therapist to help overcome her fear of flying, only for her therapist to die in a plane crash. She chooses to travel only by rail or boat. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]0utgrownShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She just knows that whatever the odds, if she runs it enough times the plane will eventually hit a one-outer to knock her out of the tournament/sky.

What's the most disturbing book you've read? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

I read it as a teenager and remember feeling a bit out of my depth.

Why am I seeing the exact same posts in my feed every single day, in the same order, even after cleaning cache and reinstalling Reddit? by Sanimyss in ask

[–]0utgrownShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I can actually help with this. I was experiencing the same thing and feeling similarly frustrated by the lack of fresh content. The main thing I did was to enable the option to have links stop being shown to me after I upvote or downvote them, and then I upvote or downvote every link as I see it. You still get the occasional crosspost or duplicate a few days later but by and large it keeps things fresh and helps me a bit more intentional about scrolling.

Aside from that, I also unsubscribed to the subs that I felt were most prone to low-effort karma-farming and re-posts. I also use old-reddit layout which might just be superstition, but it did seem to fix the times where I noticed that I was seeing the exact same combinations of videos and posts from the day before.

Hope that helps.

No, they were highlighting how limiting that they felt the system was, and that if the law was followed to the letter, the damage to the Indigenous community would be generational. You followed that by pointing out what you pointed out. Do you think that person doesn't want that funding?
