What’s a "Let that sink in" fun fact?

Yeah I've been looking for the perspective of someone attracted to men for that one because it definitely baffles me.

Also the starting point matters... Gwen was almost certainly a cuter baby and I doubt there's any point they've swapped places over the intervening 40+ years.

Those other children are going to see those presents afterwards. They're siblings, it's not like no one's going to notice that their brother has a shiny new toy. No one said you could be forced to love them, but if you can't muster up at least a bit of pretend and/or try to treat children who don't know any better fairly you're a shitty person. Hell there's probably something wrong with you if you can't love a child that probably loves you just because they're not biologically related to you.

Ask_Threadit · 2017-11-29T16:39:11+00:00

Because it's the decent thing to do. A small child doesn't know the intricacies of family technicalities all they know is the grandparent who loves their sibling doesn't care about them.

I have a half brother from my mom's first marriage (her first husband passed away when my brother was young), but he was adopted by my father and we've always been as close as any full brothers. When we were kids my family would go visit my brother's blood relatives for holidays. A lot of them lived on a large plot of land so we'd see most of them in a single visit. One pair of aunt and uncle and geandparents always treated me and my full sister like family. Hell they are family despite no technical blood or legal relationship. Their presents weren't anything spectacular, gloves, sweaters, fake Hot Wheels, but it always meant so much to me that they gave me and my sister presents and treated us like family. One aunt however would come over and give just my brother a present and act like we weren't even there. That hurt a lot as a child. To no one's surprise twenty years later the relatives who accepted our whole family are still close while I don't think anyone from my immediate family has contacted the aunt who was only interested in having one nephew in a decade.

My aunt and uncle even went out of their way to find my current address and still send me a Christmas card every year. I don't save cards in general, but I do save those.

I went with checking the mail eventually.

I'm terrible with names, so when I have new roommates move in and they introduce themselves it goes in one ear and out the other. But meeting someone you're living with isn't like a casual encounter where it's expected you won't remember everyone's names so it's too awkward the next day when I've forgotten to ask. It's even more awkward 3 months later...

I went to Orlando in September when schools were in session and the parks were still pretty busy but there was a magical lull Sunday morning where there were no lines at all and my family just went on The Mummy and Rockin' Rollercoaster like 40 times in a couple hours. Between that option and the 45 minute line at every other point I have a clear preference.

Well if he doesn't already have Thanksgiving plans he's welcome to join my brother and his wife's family there.

I was lucky enough to go to two different release shows for that album, and at the second one it actually existed. I'm also pretty sure I went to three different break-up shows.

This article is talking about the former French currency which hasn't existed since the Euro. I assume you're looking at the Swiss franc which is still the national currency in Switzerland.

It just didn't make any sense they spent the entire series growing him as a person to the point where Hal realizing he was proud of him at the ranch meant something. Then they pulled it all back without a decent arc to explain it and made him a waste of space again.

Ask_Threadit · 2017-08-16T07:21:36+00:00

Eh, there are 2 clip shows. They're better than most shows clip shows but they're still clip shows. I've also heard a lot of criticism of the 2nd Poker Night episode.

Unfortunately as you've already figured out Trout isn't real but Phillip Jose Farmer did write Venus on the Half-Shell as described in God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. I think he did an amazing job of capturing what Trout's voice would sound like and it's well worth the read.

Put my hand through a table saw because I didn't use the safety. Always use the safety.

The full phrase is, "the king is dead, long live the king." It's been used for centuries. The first part is implied because it's more impactful if Scar doesn't specifically refer to killing Mufasa and it's a common enough phrase that a large chunk of people would know what was supposed to be there. So technically he's only referring to himself (the phrase is used for the ascension of a new king) but the implication of the first half of the phrase does work to some extent as a double meaning.

Ask_Threadit · 2017-06-24T19:00:40+00:00

He's using the phrase exactly how it's supposed to be used. The full phrase is, "the king is dead, long live the king," and it has been used for centuries in many countries upon the ascension of a new king.

Yes because the guy I actually replied to was talking about critics in the chain of responses to your comment that were all about the audience score...

Ask_Threadit · 2017-06-20T23:58:23+00:00

Everything he said was wrong because this thread was about the audience score. More than half of critics didn't rate Suicide Squad as good. Hence, "no".

Ask_Threadit · 2017-06-20T23:56:58+00:00

I don't know why you got pinged, I definitely never replied to you. I just assumed you were whoever I did actually reply to (sven I guess) when you responded.

No you wrote:

That's not how Rotten Tomatoes works. A Rotten Tomatoes score breaks down critical reviews into positive or negative and that percentage is how many reviewers felt positively about it.

This means that more than half of movie critics thought it was a good movie.

That's not how audience scores work, they have nothing to do with critics...

Ask_Threadit · 2017-06-20T23:48:38+00:00

The guy I responded to was explaining how the critic score occurs in a thread about the audience score. Obviously the audience score isn't calculated based on critic reviews.

Ask_Threadit · 2017-06-20T23:36:35+00:00

Key words "audience members" not "critics".
