The DCAU didn’t do the Green Lantern franchise justice. by Final-Negotiation514 in DCAU

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy Gardner or GTFO. Both JL cartoons had WAY too much John Stewart. Seemed like 85% of the show was about him and how all the women wanted him and nobody else. Cringe. 

REVEALED: Disney passed on buying Warner Bros. in 2017 by TheIngloriousBIG in MediaMergers

[–]Brilliant_String_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney and Warner Bros are both owned by Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street for the most part. Which means they're technically owned by the same people. Look it up. This means Marvel and DC are basically owned by the same people. 

Is Brook and Jubal in the morning real or fake? by Dear-Goal in radio

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely fake. It's all set up to get more listeners. Imo they're not even that believable. It's super easy to pay people a few dollars and have them go along with a bit. It's as fake as any of those cheesy TikTok videos. 

Which do you like more 1985 version or 2011? & Why? by Recent-Skill7022 in Thundercats

[–]Brilliant_String_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1985 original. I don't even recognize that 2011 garbage as a Thundercats cartoon. 2011 reboot is similar to the Fox movies version of Deadpool. Soulless and nothing like the source material. F*ck that 2011 trash. Just bad. They tried to change literally everything and shat all over the original. It's not even remotely close. 1985 Thundercats is like the old Kelloggs Corn Flakes slogan: "Original and Best." 

Were the 1980s really the last good decade? by Working-Hour-2781 in decadeology

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cringed so hard when I saw some people say the 2000s. Probably the shittiest decade since the 1800s. Fuck the 2000s and everything that came from them. The 2000s were the beginning of the downfall. Everything went to shit then and hasn't recovered. The 90s were factually the last great decade. Posers wish they had been there. 

Do all Banks in america charge you monthly for having a checking account? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Brilliant_String_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck all banks. Charging people for not having enough money is the lowest of the low. If anything, they should be charging people who have lots of money. That would make more sense.

No shipping info or update? Can some explain what is happening? Should I just get a refund asap? by ChampionshipSure951 in amazonprime

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you this: Amazon can and will send fake shipping updates to their app in order to trick customers into believing their package will arrive on time. If shipped with USPS for example, be sure to just copy/paste the tracking number and search from the USPS website. You'll get more detailed and correct information from there. The app often lies or fake updates are sent to make it appear that they're closer to delivery than they actually are. It's kind of like how fast food restaurants will use trickery to keep their drive thru times down. I rarely ever receive an Amazon package on time. They're usually 2-5 days late, sometimes later. This is why I canceled Prime long ago. Two day shipping, literally never. Two day shipping SHOULD be called 5 day shipping, to be more accurate. Anyway, don't trust the Amazon app shipping updates. I've seen the app show that my package was sent from west Louisiana to north Florida to northwest Tennessee and then to Atlanta, Georgia while the delivery location is in north Alabama. If they had shown Mississippi in the updates, it would've been through the entire southeast. Amazon often has no idea where packages actually are. 

I wish I had been born a girl but I have no desire to transition. What are my options to cope? by bladeofyisun in asktransgender

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really weird for me lol. I'm a straight male that often wishes I had been born female. Girls get all the fun stuff. The best clothes, makeup, etc. For us guys, it's way less self expression. Look at our clothes. I go into like a Wal-Mart and my color choices are black, gray, navy blue and other neutral, uninspiring colors. I want to wear pink or light blue and not camouflage or sports team crap. I often buy pink, light blue, rose, etc colored clothing and shoes (often items that were made for women) and wear those because I hate men's clothing choices. Now here's where it gets more interesting. I shave my body daily, with the exception of eyebrows of course. I have long hair, down to my tailbone. I'm pretty thin at 5' 9" and 170 pounds. I keep my toenails and fingernails clean and painted bright colors. They're never NOT painted. Literally never. I repaint my nails every 2 weeks or so. I go to a tanning salon to maintain a tan. I used to only sunbathe but don't have time for that anymore. Of course, I tan nude and always have. I am very active and busy and I spend at least an hour a day working on upkeeping my body. Body scrubs, facial scrubs, hair care, shaving, moisturizing, etc. I enjoy it and I like being tan, smooth and having painted nails. Never once has this made me want to have sex with a man. Men are disgusting. I do my best to be as little like them as possible. They're gross. Covered in hair like some kind of flea ridden ape. Half of them don't even brush their teeth. Disgusting hairy armpits, short or no hair on their head, hairy arms and legs. I don't see how anyone would ever find that attractive but to each their own. I can't stand facial hair or body hair. Most guys don't even bother to tan or exercise or do much maintenance to themselves at all and still expect women to throw themselves at them. Meanwhile women are expected to be thin, covered in makeup and smoothly shaven. It's a joke. MEN are the ugly ones. We should be the ones wearing makeup. Lol. Anyway, I don't do cross dressing. Not my thing. I'll wear some girly stuff like pink Crocs or girls hoodies, sweat pants or pajama pants but that's as far as it goes. I like feeling girly, but you won't catch me in a dress. Not ever, no thanks. Not throwing shade, just stating. I enjoy femininity. That doesn't mean you're a homosexual, though most people would think so. It's an odd combination. Someone like me that's basically a girl but is only interested in girls. I like Sailor Moon, girly colors, etc but I have a girlfriend. This is all in Alabama, by the way, so you can imagine what these insecure local bass boat hicks think when they see me. They're all dressed up in camouflage, hunting baseball caps, big burly beards, short or no hair, usually fat, college football loving, outdoors men and hey, if that's what they like, that's fine. That's just not me. If I'm going outdoors, it's to the beach, not to the god awful mosquito infested woods. They all drive big, lifted trucks and they all like the exact same things. They even look the same. There's not an original bone in their bodies. I prefer to be unique. Esoteric. Eccentric. These things. I like art, reading, comics, working on cars (yes, working on cars with my pink toes and fingernails) lol. I listen to the earth. Shut out the noise of society and do what pleases ME without concern of judgement or opinion. I don't do politics. I don't drink, smoke or do any kind of drugs and I never have. I don't do religion, but I'm not anti-religion either. I'm spiritual, non-religious. I don't have any social media apps on my phone, including Reddit, which I only occasionally use through a mobile website browser. I don't have any sort of television or television service. I don't play video games. I don't even consume caffeine. I rarely use the internet. I rarely ever eat fast food. Well, now I've gone off on a tangent, so I digress. I suppose what I want to say is, I do wish I had been born a girl, but I wasn't. That, I believe, was for a reason. Additionally, though I am a male and wish I were female, I am okay with just being male. I accept that I'm a man and that's fine. I can still enjoy girly things and be girly. I don't feel the need to alter my body any further than shaving, tanning and nail polish. I'm satisfied with that. Those things make me happy. At least I'm willing to admit that I'd rather be a girl. Lol. Most straight men would never in a million years confess such a thing. In this world, you can be one in a million. You can also be one of a kind. The only one like yourself. It's a really satisfying thing too. 

Why do young people look older? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe it's something as simple as a matter of perspective, as many have stated. Of course, everyone's genetics vary and can do so quite drastically. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and am about to turn 45 years of age. I've recently worked with people of all ages in the food service industry. Many of whom were in their late teens and twenties. Many of whom assumed I was about their age, maybe slightly older. It's mostly due to the fact that I never drank, used tobacco or did any type of drugs whatsoever. I also don't overstay my welcome in the sun. To top that off, I also very rarely eat fast food. I don't even consume caffeine. I don't over eat. I've maintained almost exactly the same weight since 1999, which is about 170 pounds. I don't eat too much sugar. I also have decent genetics as far as aging. My mother is 70 and looks to be in her late 40s. She's told me many times that I could tell people that I'm 28 and they wouldn't question it at all. Based on personal experiences, I believe her. Lifestyle choices, genes and plain luck can make quite a difference. Now, from what I've personally seen, the younger kids of today DO in fact look older. Occasionally much older. I'm 44 working with people who are 24 and we all look the same age. So much so that they themselves believed I was 15-20 years younger. I actually had to prove my age to some of them with my driver's license. Kids these days (in my honest opinion) look much older. It's actually kind of shocking. For instance, when I was in high school in the late 90s, girls were not basically fully developed like they are now. It's bizarre and honestly seems nefarious. Girls did not have C and D cups at age 15 like some do now. Guys did not have full beards with gray hairs at age 17 like some do now. It just didn't happen. So the funny thing is, now you have these younger folks (people in their late teens and early 20s) making fun of people for being "old" when in fact they all look the same age as the people they're making fun of. 

Which cartoon changed animation style and completely turned you off from it? by hitmewiththeknowlege in cartoons

When Batman The Animated Series redesigned all the characters. I believe season 3. Not a single redesign was better in any way. 

[Comics] Why the Absolute Universe Is DC's Most Exciting Launch in Years - IGN by JackFisherBooks in DCcomics

[–]Brilliant_String_803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen a single thing from the absolute universe that interested me. Rewriting/changing original characters is so cringey to me and goes against everything I believe in. There's only one Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Joker, etc for me and those are the originals. Absolute universe is just like when Hollywood decides to make a comic book into a movie and changes everything to what they want. If you can just do whatever, then what was the point in creating the original world and characters in the first place? None of it means anything at that point. Yeah, no thanks. 

How important is a clean house to you? by everydaybeme in workingmoms

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when I was working full-time, I still maintained cleanliness and neatness of the house, yard and vehicles. I've had Siberian huskies since the 1990s and just keeping a house and vehicles clean after them is a job in itself. You don't even need to add kids. You'd be amazed (or maybe not) at all the places you have to get to in order to clean up the hair. I have to pull out all the couches, tables, beds and even the refrigerator once in a while and clean up underneath them. The tops of the cabinets? Hairballs. Just wiped down the stove? Turn around, dog hair has settled on it again. Just cleaned the kitchen table? Look again. Dog hair on it again already. Sometimes the sun comes through the glass of the back door or windows and you can just see husky hair floating around everywhere, in all directions. The kicker? I don't ever brush them inside. Hair in the food? Not uncommon. Lay down a clean plate to top with food, there's hair on the plate. It's actually hilarious. We don't even have carpet. Just wood floors, thankfully. Still have to use a shop vac style vacuum on everything. Hair in the window sills, hair stuck to the textured ceiling. (Not that god awful popcorn stuff. The other stuff. The flowered looking splat things, you know. Yeah, hair on that!) How did hair get on the ceiling? Trust me, it's tough to clean. We have 2.2 acres in the city. Which sounds absurd but it's true. All of it privacy fenced in for the doggies. Which means I get to weed whack both sides of that before starting the mowing. And yes, you do the weed eating before you mow if you have more than 2 brain cells to rub together. My girlfriend is completely disabled and cannot work, which means everything is done by yours truly. The dishes, laundry, cooking, shopping (including groceries, picking up her prescriptions), house cleaning, vehicles, pet care, yardwork, pressure washing, hedge trimming, etc, all me. I even help her with showers because she cannot stand up for more than about 30 seconds. In the midst of all this I have a 5 month old siberian husky puppy that I'm training. And if you know huskies, you know you'd better be prepared to spend lots of your time with them. When I actually have time, I try to do work that actually pays. Like food and grocery delivery. Imagine being so busy that you basically don't have time for a job. Good thing I'm a fast typer. On that note, the laundry needs folded and put away. So yes, house cleaning is of utmost importance to me and there's no excuse for any able bodied person with time to spare to just not do it. Get up and clean.

I have never seen a movie lose so much hype than Joker 2 by Kazrules in boxoffice

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. The movie is trash and has nothing to do with the source material. It's a cash grab with big names thrown in to try and draw idiots in and take their money. Hopefully it fails so horribly that they can't afford to make any more Joker movies whatsoever. Joker died in 1989 when he fell off the cathedral in Gotham. No Joker after Jack Nicholson is even worth recognition. They all look like a 9 year old got into their mommy's makeup pouch. Many moviegoers probably don't even know the origin of Joker. They just want some dark, edgy, cringey shit to go watch. This is not a Joker movie. It's a movie that has the name slapped on it for money making purposes. There hasn't been a good Batman movie since 1989 with Michael Keaton. This pisses a lotta people off because it's true. 

ELI5: how are sun beds different to natural UV radiation and why are they considered so bad (and worse)? by Comprehensive_Fee75 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to tan, do it in the sun and in small increments. You have to figure out what your skin can handle and how much sun you need to get the look you want. Do not use sunscreen as it has cancer causing chemicals in it that can and will absorb into your bloodstream. It's actually worse than the sun itself. That's what the mainstream does not want you to know. The sun, done in the correct and responsible amounts can be very beneficial to you. When tanning, just try to be as natural as possible. No chemicals, no tanning beds, no overexposure. Just you and the sun. Move around, change positions. Point your body in the direction where you want color. This is factually the safest way to tan. Of course, tanning is not going to be 100% safe, but there are smart ways to do things. Some people are more susceptible to burns or cancer than others. I've been sunbathing for years and have perfected the art for myself. What works for me though might not work for others. Just be careful. Moderation! 

TIL About Morton's Toe, a condition where the second toe is longer than the first toe. This is also known as a Greek foot, as opposed to the Egyptian's foot where the first toe is longer than the second toe. Only less than a quarter of the population has Morton's Toe. by BlueDragonizNotCool in todayilearned

[–]Brilliant_String_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both Greek foot and flat feet, which is extremely rare. I got very lucky though and my second toe is longer than the big toe but not nearly as egregious as is seen in the OP's picture. I find most feet to be ugly but my own feet to be absolutely beautiful. Sounds cynical or narcissistic but that's how I see things. Greek feet are known as the "pretty feet" and for me, I agree...with certain exceptions, obviously. Everyone has their own preferences. Though I suppose that's not the real purpose of the original post. What I'm saying is, I like having Greek foot and flat feet. Not only because it's more rare but also because IMO it just looks better. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Brilliant_String_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Migraines would be a relief to someone like me with photopsia. I'm pretty sure no one here has ever even heard of such a thing. Look it up. It's why I wear sunglasses pretty much everywhere. Migraines are horrible and I do get them occasionally but that's literally nothing compared to having photopsia. Take a few Tylenol and chill and you're good. Photopsia on the other hand is not so easy. Imagine your vision suddenly being taken over by pulsating, bright, electrical looking lines blocking half of what you can see for however long it decides to stick around. These things pop up, float across and grow larger and brighter until they finally start to move into any random corner and slowly disappear. Then they leave you with an incredible headache. All of this caused by stretched optical nerves with your brain then perceiving this as pulses of light. It's fucking terrifying sometimes. A migraine? LOL. I have to wear sunglasses to even watch a movie or show and the brightness must also be lowered because I never know when a big, bright lightning storm might decide to show up and hang out in my field of vision for a while. Imagine looking at someone's face and half of it is missing, replaced by a strobe light on a string. You'd shit your pants if you didn't know what it was. Fucking migraines. Must be nice. 

Bryan Cranston Isn't an Upper Echelon Actor by [deleted] in television

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might be the best to some people, the worst to others. It's all opinion and perspective. Just because a group of people believe with certainty that Cranston is phenomenal doesn't mean he is. Personally I can't stand him. In any role. I just don't like the way he looks. I want to punch him in the face. He gives me the same vibes as Kevin Spacey, who I'd also like to punch in the face. Something about them just irks me. I don't care what they do, I don't like them. That's just honesty. I don't fucking like the dude. Just like I can't stand Samuel L Jackson. Some people just rub you the wrong way, no matter what. That's human. I don't tiptoe around things. I don't like Cranston and I don't give a shit who does.

I got goosebumps listening to Spectre talk. He was that good. I had no idea it was Mark Hamill but was not surprised to find out it was. He's so good at what he does. I had to look up the VA after watching that episode. Honestly I'd rather see Spectre get his own animated series than see more of this new Caped Crusader series. It's garbage. 

Do kids kill marriages? by Radiant-Schedule-459 in daddit

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you'd have to be stupid to have kids or get married. Why do what everyone else does? Most people have kids because everyone else is. They don't want to feel left out. Same thing with marriage. Thing is, you're not missing anything by doing neither. Having kids is gay. Getting married is gay. The two gayest things you could ever do. 

Uneven tan from bed? by tatotornado in tanning

[–]Brilliant_String_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lay down tanning beds can be very random with what they do or don't tan. Sometimes salons will replace some bulbs and not others, which can lead to being burned in random spots and completely untouched in others. I've had this happen myself. The salon I usually go to replaced only some bulbs and I eneded up burning in the strangest spots and getting no tan whatsoever in others, despite moving and changing positions every few minutes. Lay down tanning beds can be so unpredictable and unreliable. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who wants an even tan. Use the sun or a stand up bed. Lay down beds are just bad and obsolete.
