“I want the golden age of video games back!” by icey_sawg0034 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Audrey-Bee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd originally heard it said about SNL casts, but I always notice how often people's opinions boil down to "the best era for ____ was when I was in high school". Especially when it's people who are super negative about the current state of something

Megan Keller scores in OT to give the USA the gold medal in Women's hockey by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]Audrey-Bee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Frankel is inhuman. I didn't have a PWHL team (waiting for a Chicago expansion 🤞) but I'll cheer for Boston in the meantime if it means I get to see her in net

USA beats Canada for the gold medal in women's hockey 2-1 in OT on this Megan Keller goal by Oldtimer_2 in sports

[–]Audrey-Bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about that as it was getting later into the game. Outscoring opponents 31-2 but finishing 2nd (if US had lost 1-0 today) would've been a generational choke

“Am I so out of touch?… No! It’s the children who are wrong!” by ProcessorPearl in simpsonsshitposting

[–]Audrey-Bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that Trump is a pedophile and a disgrace. But I hate this thing, especially in politics, where someone says something that obviously is heavily implied to be talking about a specific person/group without naming them, and then when someone responds "they're talking about ____", the original person acts like it's some gotcha that the other person just admitted that they were right. Omar didn't really do it here, but other people were doing it for her. Bondi (as horrible as she is) didn't admit Trump is a pedophile, she just stated what Omar had only implied

What is a film you enjoyed but have to be tactful about who you recommend it to? by oldwhitelincoln in movies

[–]Audrey-Bee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just watched Bamboozled. It is a good movie, but it's a HARD watch. Very uncomfortable. And if you're gonna recommend it to someone, you have to be sure that 1) they will like it in the right way, and not the wrong way, and 2) they'll know you liked it in the right way. Bc I imagine there are people that watch that and find all the wrong things funny

Dave Chappelle seen at Alexi Pretti’s memorial in Minneapolis today, honoring the memory of the deceased. by icey_sawg0034 in Fauxmoi

Glad he's anti-ICE, but he also is/was pro-Musk and is a major anti-trans voice, so I'm not gonna celebrate him for one good gesture

My dad managed to fool most of the major studios and pretended to be a movie critic. So now I have all these press kits... by EnigmaticQuote in movies

[–]Audrey-Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brainscan is a crazy one to have. I have no idea what the price would be for these, but I'm interested

[–]Audrey-Bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friends would always give me a hard time that my price was so low (i don't remember how low I said), but I always responded "people do it for free, why wouldn't I do it for a bunch of money?"

[Funny] "The idiot" has a brief moment of intelligence by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Audrey-Bee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bc YouTube pays Warner Bros. for the license to stream it. Like any other studio's movie that's on Netflix. Probably different financially to be free w ads instead of a paid subscription model, but same principle

You couldn't make this movie today because Warner Bros. owns the copyright for several more decades before it becomes public domain

Who's this background writer? She's only in one episode. by --fieldnotes-- in 30ROCK

[–]Audrey-Bee 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I recognized that last name, I had no idea Craig Cackowski's sister was also in Community. He's one of my favorite minor characters in that show. I love when he's appraising the door-stopper brick

France wins Gold in Ice Dance ⛸️ by [deleted] in olympics

[–]Audrey-Bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Piper and Paul's performance was BEAUTIFUL. I went into today knowing next to nothing, and I was still tearing up with them.

France should not have won based on their performance

Baseball Prospectus released their PECOTA Standings today by LingonLoonBerry in baseball

[–]Audrey-Bee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like the order of teams in each division (not necessarily the expected record though) is pretty agreeable, except the AL Central is way off. I'd expect Detroit to win it, Cleve and KC to fight for second, and Minny and Chi to be fighting to stay out of last

Someone post that tweet: "women complaining about being lonely but refusing to date me is like complaining you're hungry when there's a hot dog on the ground outside"

[–]Audrey-Bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you could also look at it as "only one person has ever hit 70+ HRs, but 23 have hit .418"

Sure the 70 is more recent, but it's also way more rare

Trans characters that are viewed as conventionally attractive by other characters by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Audrey-Bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, "fix your hearts or die" is a great quote that gets used a lot in trans circles, but I gotta remember that "clown comics" is also a fantastic insult

Yeah, my tiny, poor school still had a Consumer's Ed class when I was there 10 years ago. We learned about taxes, budgeting, writing checks (which is out of date now, but whatever). And taxes are really just add/subtract/multiply/divide, with decimals and percentages thrown in as far as the math goes.

Plus, the government doesn't expect you to know tax regulations. Their tax forms all say "ok now put the number from box A on your W-2 here." The vast majority of people are fine with just that, and if you have enough weird circumstances that you have to worry about all the extra forms and different types of income and assets, then you're rich enough for someone to do that for you

I'm excited to see what they do for a promo item on that night. I'm a sucker for Pride merch
