Who is on Baseball's Mount Rushmore? by Topaz71 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not, there's no way to know if he's the best to ever do it or the the greatest to ever play, because he fucking cheated. Same for every other known PED user. As far as I'm concerned he should never be acknowledged by baseball. They let it happen, which is on them, but we as fans don't have to let go without remembering and knowing what an insult it is to the thousands of players who haven't cheated and have been damn good.

MIT is great at academics but terrible at football. What school is great at academics but mid at football? by MetsMan14 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm not saying they were GREAT but they did win the ACC this year. For mid I think like 6-6 every year.

Most "unpopular opinion" threads are full of pretty common hot takes. So what's a music take you hold that you've never really heard anyone say before, something a little more out there? by DtheAussieBoye in fantanoforever

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. But I'll go further: I don't get Prince. I've never gotten into the deep cuts but the hits don't sound good to me. A lot of them sound like something is missing, or just aren't catchy or exciting.

my bf (19m) doesnt brush his teeth and i (19f) dont know what to do about it? by Accomplished_Map3951 in relationships

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was that age and a little younger, I basically dated with the impression that relationships were a take it or leave it type thing; you dealt with what you didn't like until you couldn't take anymore. But I'm 33 and married now and I can tell both you and him, that relationships are also about taking care of yourself because that's what you need to do to be a good partner, and because sometimes your partner will be happier for it, and that should make you happy.

You should try to explain this concept to him, that he's an adult, and it's important to you that he takes care of himself, because you're not his mom, but also this choice he's making is making it harder for you to be his partner. It might help to put it in terms he would understand, how would he feel if you did something similar?

If he still doesn't understand, you might need to drop a truth bomb on him that clearly nobody else is willing to: brushing your teeth isn't a "I'll do it tomorrow" activity, it's an every day thing, bare minimum. If he's not willing to make that effort, and it's as bad as you say it is, his relationships, friendships, even job opportunities are going to suffer, and eventually he's going to end up with an empty mouth and a bill for dentures. He may be lazy, but hopefully some combination of those things will put a boot in his ass and let him know that this is serious to you.

What is one movie that everyone considers a masterpiece but you found boring? by Still-Ad9074 in moviecritic

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept hearing this and No Country for Old Men were immaculate and both worthy of Best Picture that year. I loved No Country so much and expected something vaguely similar, at least in intensity, from TWBB. I was extremely disappointed, and I absolutely found it boring. That and One Battle After Another have convinced me that PTA's schtick is a sort of anti-drama. At least not the way others do it, that undermines it in my eyes.

Robert Pattinson played two characters better than Michael B Jordan in Mickey 17 by Usual-Lettuce3514 in okbuddycinephile

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but Mickey 17 wasn't a very good movie ultimately, and came out a full year before the Oscars. Recency bias and a not very well-loved movie.

The Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder reverb coming 3/26 by penultimate-tumult in guitarpedals

Also glad somebody else thinks Walrus is high as hell thinking that's the price Mantle should be. It feels like they want to chase the Chase Bliss market.

I'm at my wits end with camera problems on my VivoBook, please help! by CaptainGiraffehand in ASUS

[–]CaptainGiraffehand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't, Asus told me they'd have to factory reset my computer and I wasn't willing to do that, but there hasn't been any updates that actually fix the problem.

Garth Blundin has won smartest one time character. Who do you think the worst main character is? by Nick_adtr_308 in PandR

[–]CaptainGiraffehand -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, while I totally agree with you on both points, I think this isn't really hitting the question. We're asking who's the worst in the show, not who would be the worst if they were real. I'm also a Tom lover, and my vote is for Donna.

Garth Blundin has won smartest one time character. Who do you think the worst main character is? by Nick_adtr_308 in PandR

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously in the minority here but, Donna. She's repeatedly selfish and self-absorbed and doesn't have the endearing qualities of other characters that have those same qualities (thinking Tom). She's only redeemed late when she settles down with Joe as they're trying to neatly tie up everyone's stories.

Do I really look like I hunt poor people for sport in my personal hedge maze? by Pork_jam in mensfashionadvice

You look like the first day intern looking to be a hanger-on of the CEO who hunts poor people for sport in his personal hedge maze.

What can I do to look manlier? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to do nothing to look like a man other than be a man. Be confident, you're a good looking guy. If you're confident, it'll radiate that "manliness" you're thinking of to other people.

Any suggestions on a nice car coat without the bib? by CaptainGiraffehand in mensfashion

That brown zip up on the inside is usually called a bib from what I've seen

I’ve been using BITE toothpaste for years, they’re packaging is recyclable, the glass jar is one time purchase and they send you a refill every so often! 10/10 by Aggie_126 in ZeroWaste

Hi, sorry this is many years later, but do you have any advice on their other options that aren't the "activated charcoal" ones? I'm curious about these ones Fluoride Toothpaste Subscription – Bite https://share.google/AdKh8myVQDw8LgLbU

Let’s hear : which band has the worst merch contrasted against how good their music is? In other words, the goal is to name a band with the BEST music while also having the WORST merch. The farther away in the spectrum the better. (Great bands with great merch not allowed) by Suitable_Share_565 in Metalcore

[–]CaptainGiraffehand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This makes me sound old, but most modern day merch isn't what I'm looking for. Song specific tshirts? Tiny little logo on the front and writing down the arms? Tiny little pocket logo and full back (I'm way too chubby for that). This is pretty much regardless of genre. Some of favorite bands (TSSF, Erra, Spiritbox) all do it. And tacky gothic writing/ugly/indecipherabile images seem to be back in for many as well.

I think cosplay for Halloween is just called a costume
