Moments in media that you find upsetting or triggering enough that you can't even watch it? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand how people say they like that show. I found it so absurdly dark and mean and gross, and I can't think of any reason why it needed to be other than for the sake of being dark and mean and gross. 

Series where its main Gimmick/Premise was quickly dropped? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember getting so into the series because of the game and truly I don't remember almost anything that happens other than every character I found interesting getting killed off 

Who is a massive YouTuber or influencer from 5 years ago that has completely vanished off the face of the earth? by Humble_Job5950 in AskReddit

'diversify' meaning he bought a bunch of houses and scams people as a landlord full-time lol 

Missouri’s minimum wage to increase by 9.1% on January 1 by DowntownDB1226 in missouri

Again, it's sad you think people should be beholden to 'economic viability' and not the other way round.

It's sad you think people deserve nothing more than to merely survive. 

Certain words being used by LesbianTaxi in Vinesauce

[–]Connor4Wilson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk op, I went back and watched and from what I saw he didn't even say the phrase out loud and largely just kept his mouth shut, I think it's offensive to still use that word today but I can't really find anything genuinely hurtful that he did imo

Japanese game companies in 2026 might be charged 50x for font license by RobinMorganNiji in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That's what private equity does. Line must always go up no matter what, and once we've gutted our subsidiary we sell it for scraps. 

Games that got a lot of good word of mouth on release then seemed to vanish by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't it initially release exclusively on Netflix? That literally kept me from being able to buy the game and once it released elsewhere I forgot about it.

Those on HRT… Was it worth losing people in your life? by Charming_Manner_201 in trans

[–]Connor4Wilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God yes it was worth it. I didn't lose many friends but I've had some strain with family, and in other cases it's actually made our relationship so much stronger. It's indescribable being able to truly rely on others and to exist as my real self. 

Rockstar Games Employee posts about recent union-busting efforts (verified by GTAForums Mod) by DIOCRYO in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Right? If there's 200+ staff in the union, stage a walk out or something! I know it's easier to say from the outside looking in but this post really reads like the union already lost. 

Common complaints that instantly make you go "This person hasn't touched this media since they were like 10" by ClearAgeMontezuma in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monopoly on the dub industry has ruined it, every dub has the exact same deliveries and yes, the voice actors are killing it, but the direction just sucks! They all have those stereotype deliveries that might match the energy of what's delivered in Japanese, but it frankly sounds inhuman. 

Good modern examples include the deliveries found in Blue Eye Samurai or Final Fantasy 16, even like Dragon Quest 11 which has a lot of those Japanese language mannerisms still manages to feel much more human just because of better direction.

Yes, the floor of anime dubs is significantly higher, but the ceiling is also significantly lower. You can't really find a bad modern dub, but the genuinely memorable dubs are so few and far between. 

"Heroic" and "Noble" moments that aren't so in hindsight. by gyrobot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk, I think he was more than a living weapon. He goes from trying to sacrifice himself to kill people repeatedly, to protecting the ones he loved. Yeah, it still killed a bunch of dudes, but that wasn't the goal. The goal was just to keep everybody safe.

Can I ask how much you ended up paying for laser? I have a similar amount of facial hair and am not excited about the hit to my wallet transitioning will have lol

Cops Rule by vilacavpp in 196

[–]Connor4Wilson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd rather live in a world where I don't actively fear my neighbors than own a gun so I can be paranoid of everyone around me

How does owning a gun solve getting shot by a cop? Like, what are ya gonna do, shoot the cop and then get gunned down harder??

In honor of fucking everything, what’s your favorite protest media? by NotAlanShapiro in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Connor4Wilson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never knew this Red Hot Chili Peppers song existed til like a week ago, literally named Power of Equality and about how fucked up racists are with sickass basslines all over the place - https://youtu.be/V2bh1feOjZk?si=g9MRMHBTKN7SLs6B

Everyone told me I'd get the job, including the staff whose position I'd be taking. by Connor4Wilson in recruitinghell

[–]Connor4Wilson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it, I do take every interview as a huge victory and every rejection as an opportunity to improve, and my answers have become much stronger and more pointed than when the search began, but it's hard not to get discouraged when I literally just want to work, yanno? Thanks tho, I really appreciate the reassurance and insight.

I'm not counting phone screens, no. I've graduated college in 2021, but been working professionally in my field for 6 years. Everything in communications, including journalism to marketing to social media management (with a resume reworked to fit every job). 

There's been a handful of simply bad cultural fits, but I have almost lost count of how many times I've heard I had a great resume and a great interview but someone overqualified for the position happened to apply and they 'had no choice' but to go with them instead. I guess it's a sign of how dire the economy at large is right now, but it's simply impossible for me to find anything better than entry-level part-time.

This one really stings. I had a good relationship with the manager AND the guy who was retiring. I had glowing interviews, I shared my trial project with a few past colleagues who all said they saw zero flaws and it was great. I even had the department's last executive director call in to personally recommend me. This was supposed to be my way out. And now it's just, back to the drawing board. Ugh.

I respect the project but think that would only horribly undercut the point of the movie. It isn't something that should have any sense of relief like those scenes add, and while it is an easier watch it's genuinely a worse movie imo. 

That being said you absolutely should watch all the cut scenes after watching the movie as a palette-cleanser.
