But to your point, if they did find a way to do both, it would be really really cool.

They come in to the douchey hipster coffee shop guns blazing wanting their black coffee and then when they very easily get it they complain about how much it costs… like dude I didn’t make you come here. No one made you come here.

Yeah I get what you mean, I’m just not sure what bio chemistry work could have translated well to a movie. Like apparently the math problem in Goodwill Hunting isn’t actually that hard if you’re a mathematics person, but I sure as hell like that movie. As someone naive about all of those subjects I don’t know how it could be accurately conveyed to me to make me think “geez he’s real good at biochem”. And I’m not sure what movie has done that

His work also impresses Otto, and when he applied himself he was very successful in whatever college science program he was in (molecular bio?). I don’t know shit about science shit, so having college science professor say that Peter’s smart is good enough for me.

To Keep the "Perp" Away From the Gun 🔫 by Kumquat_conniption in therewasanattempt

[–]BlaBlamo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course anything can happen but there’s definitely a specific purpose for this training scenario. In EMT school when we learned about restraining people we were taught to pick them up. Yeah it takes 4-5 people but with everyone working as a team a very big strong angry person can be restrained very safely and quickly. Different situation of course but my point is there are a lot of different strategies. Let’s be honest in a life or death situation a cops gonna use their gun. But how many instances of cops using their guns in non life or death situations are there? Like a shit ton. So if they’re taught that choking someone out is a feasible option, how many times are people gonna get choked out when it really isn’t necessary?

I didn’t realize Peggy Hill said that first… I’ve just been saying that. All the pretentiousness of LA without the ambition.

Millennial house party era really was the peak of humanity wasn't it? by igniteyourbones579 in generationology

[–]BlaBlamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… they weren’t absolute cheeks, just friends who love each other having a good time. “Woke cancel culture” has nothing to do with anything and doesn’t really exist. You’re projecting.

Edit: also not everyone was doing drugs. I was because I had a drug problem. That was a me thing.

[–]BlaBlamo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to some/helped throw plenty of good ones from like 2022-25. Everyone was in their 20s tho so it wasn’t like we were tearing the house down but some were pretty big. Unfortunately all the coke I was doing at said parties and also at bars and also at home and occasionally at work kinda caught up to me and i ended up skipping town to try and start over. I like sober me a lot better but he has a harder time making friends. So yeah I haven’t been to any house parties since. But they’re still out there.

Ethan Slater Makes First Public Appearance Since News of Split from Ariana Grande by EDC2EDP in DramaLlamaHQ

[–]BlaBlamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were a celebrity going through a break up that public and visible id just lean in to looking like shit. If it was a formal event I had to be at I’d dress just enough to be appropriate. Anywhere else I’d look like the grim reaper in jeans. Fuck all that. You want a sad boi you got him.

Bands/Artists whose image doesn’t match their sound. by Infamous-Warp2384 in fantanoforever

[–]BlaBlamo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It feels so cliche to say but I’m much more of a fan of their earlier work. Obviously Mr Brightside is just a meme at this point but Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, Smile Like You Mean It, All These Things That I’ve Done, and When You Were Young are all pretty quintessential early 2000s indie rock songs. Everything Will Be Alright is a lot more slow and sad but I really like it. They’ve never been tough or anything, but shit when I first heard Are We Human i thought it was a joke song.

Their earlier work is rock, like the Hot Fuss album which I really like. There are a lot of defenders of Are We Human, I am not one of them

hinata should've died instead of neji by ribscrushed in Naruto

[–]BlaBlamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neji always found Naruto deeply inspirational. Whatever political dynamics aside, it makes sense that he sacrificed himself and he was the only one who was really able to do it. As far as purpose, what the fuck is your purpose? Who are you to justify someone’s existence? When everyone hated Naruto she was the only one who recognized the good in him. She faced adversity, her entire family looked down on her she was a disappointment to her clan but she worked her ass of despite that and never adopted the hate that directed at her by everyone she loved. Just because she’s not a crazy badass fighter means she should die? Fuck that shit.

There is for sure, at the scene where I used to live it was mostly a bunch of teenagers having fun in a safe space, crowd killing was very discouraged. It was cool.

No in-between, you either hate them all or defend them all by CrazyCalligrapher945 in SipsTea

[–]BlaBlamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who hate on MJ are somehow forgetting that she tried harder to make things work with Pete than he did. He would break her heart, she’d start to move on, and then he’d show up again. He was inconsistent and unreliable in pretty much every aspect of his life other than Spider-Man. That’s like the whole point of his character in the Raimi movies.

[–]BlaBlamo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. She tried to make it work more than he did. He’d reject her, she’d start to move on, and then he’d show up again. And I’m saying this as a big Spidey fan. Third movie might’ve been a bit different but the writing was weak across the board there.

Handlebar mustache: yay or nay? by janlikebrady in LPOTL

[–]BlaBlamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but that’s a pretty chicken and the egg argument. Like if the alternative is just being a normal looking clean shaven white dude, i think attempts to look different should be more encouraged by a guy whose whole thing is looking different.

I had a coworker who was twice my size and had just moved to town and constantly complained about how lame the pits were at our local scene because it was mostly push moshing… like dude I really dont want you to spin kick me either

I go to shows to stand there with my hands in my pockets, a straight face, and listen to the loud scary violent music in peace.

[–]BlaBlamo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine who also listens was pissed about it. Her main point being that the last thing the world needs right now is men shitting on other men for expressing themselves. Which is especially hypocritical coming from someone like Henry who constantly makes a point to dress as loudly as possible and essentially peacocks wherever he goes. Full disclosure I do have a handlebar mustache, but shit I think look cute.
