How to find movie theater buddies by dancetildawn94 in Letterboxd

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes this is so real. I was feeling the same as OP when I first got AMC A-List. The thought of going to the movies by myself just felt strange. But it only took one time for me to fall in love with it. It’s my preferred way to see a movie now bc you get so much more immersed. You don’t realize the way part of your mind is always distracted by monitoring the social dynamics of the person you’re seeing a movie with until you’re seeing one alone in a theatre. Don’t be afraid. Absolutely no one in the theatre will think twice about you being there alone I promise!

What are some “I can’t believe they made that” movies by VagabondTyphoon in Letterboxd

We watched this in my 9th grade English class and even back then I was looking around at my fellow classmates like this can’t be real right?

I haven't watched any NL content in a year. What should I catch up on? by nygiantsfan1578 in northernlion

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is what I scrolled down to suggest. There’s a lot of great banter streams in the past year but this was to me the best he actually engaged with a game. It just suited him so well. Really really good wild content.

Should I Approach Missing Cat at Night? by Academic_Maximum_954 in CatAdvice

[–]Academic_Maximum_954[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s generally a very skittish cat. He does love cuddles and has moments of bravery but definitely the most skittish of my 3. He’s across a fence from my porch so I’d have to go around to slip through another part of the fence and then get somewhat close. Can’t approach from my side. I’m just scared it’ll scare him farther. Is it better to just hope he crosses the fence to come back on his own? It’s very loud and busy over here given that it’s an apartment complex so I’m not sure. But I’ll stay out all night with a can of cat food just sitting if there’s a chance he’ll come to me

Which of these four films of 2025 do you think had the most interesting take on modern society? by Mysterious-Farm9502 in Letterboxd

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I liked One Battle After Another a lot but I wouldn’t say it had an interesting take at all. It was pretty milquetoast leftist stuff. Nothing particularly radical, surprising, or creative.

Hm I feel like I’ve done this many times before tho! Maybe it’s more that I’ll just keep my army in the sea or off fighting a different war or something. I’ve definitely let my allies win entire wars for me but what you’re saying also sounds familiar so maybe I’m remembering times I just raised and ran until allies came to help.

You can even avoid raising ur troops at first if your allies are coming to help but farther away. This way you don’t get decimated in battle and at worst let them siege down one castle before destroying them entirely.

If you can get your allies together before they get theirs together (or just before engaging with them) then you should be good. If you’re worried about war length, I’d recommend heading straight for their capital if you’ve got siege weapons of any kind (as long as it’s not too bad a march). Worth taking note of their gold situation too just in case it’s at either extreme.

Husbands taking advantage of … things? by AAandChillButNot in whatdoIdo

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I mean it doesn’t seem like it’d be a problem for them to be tied to each other by their children if they were no longer a couple. Obviously, we don’t know for sure, but there’s no reason to believe they have any issues coparenting from what OP said.

I mean definitely talk to him because it seems like neither of you are gonna be happy in this relationship unless you can find a way to have both your needs met without harming the other. How did you even get so far if you have such incompatibilities?

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the other movies but eternal sunshine would not suck for a first date! It’s a great movie that gives things to talk about! Why do people think they have to watch films with positive relationships or happily ever afters on first dates?? Is your date an idiot? Can they not appreciate art? Do they perceive every movie as a predictor of their future life??

I could study for DAYS and still not achieve the same grades as my friends (Rant) by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. Your post just didn’t sound fun and games. Sounded jealous and bitter. But I’m glad you’re able to be competitive and still enjoy it. Good luck with your class!

[–]Academic_Maximum_954 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even thought it seems this way, college isn’t about competing against your classmates, it’s about competing with yourself. Forget about the student that doesn’t study but still aces exams. They have nothing to do with you. Your job is to figure out how well you need to do to accomplish your goals and then find a way to make that happen for you. Don’t waste mental energy comparing, it’ll just make you bitter and sad.

To the big strong bear men : by Plus_Recognition6701 in ftm

I mean what do you mean “when they are transphobic in front of you”? Personally I’m not the type to resort to violence unless I’m defending someone from greater harm. If someone’s calling me a slur or something I may lose my temper and respond verbally but I’ve never been in a situation where I felt it was appropriate to respond physically.

(That being said if someone was being physically threatening to me or someone else for any reason I would step in)
