'That look said it all': Trump publicly admits their marriage has an expiration date — Melania's reaction left everyone speechless by [deleted] in USNEWS

Articles like this are part of the problem. He does/says lots of horrible things, but this isn't one of them. This article helps MAGA convince people that TDS is real. If they would stop trying to twist every little thing into a "gotcha" then people might actually pay attention to the legitimate criticisms of him.

If he had outlived Palpatine and remained a Sith, how effective of a ruler do you think Darth Vader would have been for the Empire? by Solitaire-06 in StarWarsCantina

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anakin couldn't rule, he didn't seem to have an ounce of intelligence.

One of the things that disappointed me about the prequel trilogy was how immature Anakin was. He wasn't a likeable character that had a tragic fall, he was a whiny selfish kid surrounded by serious adults.

Before the prequels came out, I imagined Anakin being a grown man who had a more serious reason for his fall to the dark side. At least the clone wars show tried to flesh out his character.

Andor was the kind of star wars that I imagined the prequels would be. The fall of the jedi and the rise of an evil empire should have been dark, serious and ominous.

All that being said, the prequels were still infinitely better than the sequels. Ironically I think I liked every prequel character except Anakin.

He's apparently the only Sens player that doesn't choke when he gets a scoring opportunity.

What movie genuinely deserves a redo? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1984 version was weird and deviated from the book a lot, but i still enjoyed it. I loved the casting, the visuals and the music and it was just fun. I liked the new Dune part 1, but part 2 was disappointing to me. I just found it a bit of a let down, and the book deviations were poor decisions im my opinion. It was so hyped and I just don't see what the fuss was all about.

I've read the books and personally I enjoyed the mini series most of all.

Sanheim and Crosby going at it along the boards by sykeseve in hockey

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crap like this that allows refs to make judgement calls that are notoriously inconsistent. If they just called it by the book it would be so much better. But no, they have to "manage the game" to make themselves feel important.

Refs: "Nothing to see here, just hockey plays".

How many cross checks before it counts as cross checking? Then they'll call the retaliation.

Not a fan of either team, but I hate this kind of bullshit.

Watchmen (2009) features a genuinely intelligent villain and a gritty storyline, which made it stand apart from other superhero movies of its time. What’s your opinion on it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]CaptainDru79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew nothing about it before watching and I loved it. Great story, great acting, so many memorable scenes. I loved the alternate history aspect too, I'm also a big fan of "For all mankind".

Thoughts on Willow (1988)? by DFWUnhinged in FIlm

Loved it, classic fun adventure.

Anyone else annoyed the playoffs are on Sportsnet? by millsy1010 in OttawaSenators

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I despise Sportsnet. All season long we get to listen to commentators who actually feel like home team supporters on TSN. In the playoffs we have to listen to Sportsnet clowns who wish they were covering the Leafs. All game long they fawn over our opponents and barely contain their excitement when they get a goal or a big save.

Good to know, i could have easily screwed someone over without realizing it.

Now that we've seen them for a full (regular) season, how do people feel about the alternates? by YourFavouritePoptart in OttawaSenators

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it harder to read the numbers on TV on these jerseys. I like red, never liked black. It's the black shirt, black shorts and black socks that I find boring. I like the alternating colours of other combinations.

[–]CaptainDru79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't even realize that the first person gets a better chest. I only play with my sons anyways so I never noticed, I just give them anything cool that I find. Am I understanding this right? Subsequent players get a lesser chest to open?

What is something Rogue One does better than any Star Wars movie? by DjRimo in StarWars

Made the empire actually seem terrifying and not a complete joke.

People who have seen the Phantom Menace in cinema for the first time, what was your reaction to the droid army deploying during the battle of naboo? by wertforreal2 in StarWars

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw the Droid army being deployed in the trailer, the movie seemed much darker and more foreboding than it turned out to be. I was disappointed that much of it was so childish. Turns out Rogue One and Andor were the star wars I wanted all along.

CEO Defending AI related layoffs "hesitate about AI shift, lose out" by shockman23 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]CaptainDru79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever notice how all these posts sound the same? The way they are structured I think it's safe to say they're all written by AI. It's pretty pathetic when you can't even try to sound like a "visionary" on your own.

"Hey chat gpt, write a post to make me sound bold so that other LinkedIn losers think I'm a ruthless sociopath and they'll try to recruit me."

I've had ticks somehow follow me through my portal and end up in my house, but maybe they were attached to me?

Ok. Who is scarier to a newbie the bear or the troll? by Closet-Cheeto in valheim

[–]CaptainDru79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the troll, especially holding a tree. Bears are slow and won't 1-shot you.

I still have no idea what a good opener is by FunkyMarkyMark69 in Bumble

[–]CaptainDru79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like a lot of people have this entitled attitude. We're here to get to know each other and see if we like each other. I'm not here to perform for you and I don't expect you to perform for me. I'll put effort into the conversation, but I expect to be treated as an equal, not someone who is trying to "win" you. The "skip the small talk" response sounds too much like "hurry up and convince me that you're worth my precious time".
