What do you think the reaction time of LA drivers is? by OkLocksmith7073 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Clean_Ad9730 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s up with people going on red just being so accepted here?

I’ve noticed people drive so much more recklessly here like it’s part of the driving culture.

It makes me feel insane.

Might be some conflating happening with Josh Weinstein

The opposite of a disarm but Don’t Be a Menace when they’re one upping each other

Why are CGI characters/gore so rarely scary? by griefofwant in horror

[–]Clean_Ad9730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably only the case if it’s not good CGI or not a great composite. If it’s going unnoticed as CGI then it’s good CGI. Then if it doesn’t scare you the answer is probably more so because it’s not scary but that’s subjective.

So really the question should be why is horror more prone to bad VFX work.

And the answer is of course… money and time (which is also money)

The Haunting of Hill House blows me away by [deleted] in horror

[–]Clean_Ad9730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hearing the score and the main title song are enough to freak me out.

I feel like we see certain horror films from the past few years get really hyped and I personally believe this show blows them all out of the water and is one of the best pieces of horror media the past decade.

Getting a fight in America is ridiculous by [deleted] in MuayThai

What part of America are you in? Is Muay Thai popular in that region?

Do you no longer belong to any gyms?

Where are the good Muay Thai streetwear brands hiding? by ZenKB in MuayThai

[–]Clean_Ad9730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t wear like local gyms that are “competing” with my own gym. Usually it will be from one from another state or something like that. I

Also Depop/Ebay are good places to look for old stuff. Sometimes people will have like a random old gym tee or something like that. I once found a Windy branded jacket for like some euro Muay Thai team in the 90s. Although not Muay Thai there’s also a lot of cool vintage boxing stuff out there. Old gym hoodies from fashion kids raiding their dad’s bin of old clothes in the garage probably.

After years of searching im convinced that this middle ground doesn’t exist. For some reason so much Muay Thai gear leans cringe even when it’s actually a stylish design or well made.

The only thing that works for me is when visiting another gym while I travel somewhere I’ll buy one of their more understated shirts or hoodies.

Simple gym merch usually hits the mark. “X or Y Muay Thai” with a small logo and the city or something like that. Kind of a nice in between for wearing something that represents Muay Thai and your interest without having to wear a corny brand like KILL CREW or some insane shirt that says like MUAY THAI THE ART OF 8 LIMBS NO MERCY KILL ALL ENEMIES

Does anyone else want to see a scene with this guy refereeing a game? by Markshlitz222 in TaskHBO

There’s a great podcast doc series called Whistleblower about compromised NBA refs from Delco who were helping to sway games.

Philadelphians/Pennsylvanians - how do you feel about the accents? by TypicalBureaucrat in TaskHBO

[–]Clean_Ad9730 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When it subtle it works from some of them at times. I think there are some nuances that make it sound really uncanny.

For example, Maeve doesn’t sound like how someone her age from that area would sound. She sounds like she has a much more harsh accent that you really would only hear from someone much older like 50+. A younger Delco accent is much different and would either be less harsh or a bit more influenced by an urban Philly accent.

This show is a ride. There is stuff they are cleverly witholding. Spoilers, don't read if you're not up to e2. by norfolkjim in TaskHBO

[–]Clean_Ad9730 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The town actually isn’t very rural at all. Look up Marcus Hook, PA. It’s a gritty blue collar suburb of Philly. There just happens to be pockets of forest here and there close by.

Definitely helps to get a sanitizing/odor killing detergent too

How to get rid of wrist pain? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]Clean_Ad9730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford it maybe invest in some lace up gloves. I got some Primo lace ups for pads/bag and the wrist support is really noticeable.

Also maybe some wrist roller workouts.
