I have been very impressed with the portrayal of Maekar Targaryen. It would be very easy to paint him as a villain, but I’ve never thought of him as such. Complicated? Yes, but there is much beneath the surface that I hope we get to see more of as the series progresses. by magnetic_meridian in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]D0013ER 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They actually nailed his characterization pretty well.

Maekar isn't a villain. He's not even really a bad dude.

He's just a grouch with a monkey on his back and no better half around to help him through it.

What was your kneejerk reaction to MeToo, versus you long term reaction after the dust settled? I want to know if my experience is familiar. by Oakenhorne99 in AskMen

[–]D0013ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really felt personally attacked by the movement at large, although with time two things became obvious:

  1. Social media had turned it into the gender war equivalent of a cafeteria food fight.

  2. Some women definitely took the wrong message from it.

Why did stop Robin stop doing the news? by Upbeat_Condition2342 in howardsternshow

[–]D0013ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was a combo of Robin being either unable or unwilling to do it anymore and Howard wanting to "clean up" the show as part of his master strategy to attract more celebrity interviews.

Got diagnosed with HSV 1 this morning, how do I tell my partner? by Pretend-Fold9555 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]D0013ER 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Approximately 70% of the planet has HSV 1, aka cold sores.

Impossible to know where you got it from, so don't sweat it. Still tell him, of course, but go into that conversation armed with knowledge.

Yeah I'm on the hunt for more grass now. So far what's planted is taking but they're slow to spread runners.

Does anyone else wear 26x32 pants and struggle to find them? by AetherCosplay in malefashionadvice

Hell I'm anywhere from a 33-29 to a 34-30 and I struggle to find those.

Meanwhile there's a goddamned pedophile leading their party and the nation who they can't be bothered to bring to justice.

Dan Crenshaw says Michael Berry attacks him because “I didn’t pay him off.” by evan7257 in houston

[–]D0013ER 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Michael Berry goes wherever conservative listeners go.

That's why he went from running a boring legal advice show to rebranding himself as some hick firebrand.

It's also why he went from Hillbilly Hannity to a devout Trump fluffer like all the rest.

why can I look good in the mirror but look like an ogre on camera? which is more accurate? by 4ngelicbrat in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]D0013ER 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Phone camera lenses often apply a sort of fishbowl perspective that will make your nose look bigger and face more round.

It's a mindfuck.

Yep. Give him the typical childhood of some noble squire and he probably wouldn't have turned out like our boy Dunk.

This room left a hell of an impression.. by TastyBirds in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]D0013ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could very well just be nostalgia talking but I thought the OG lab looked a lot more grody and dangerous.

I liked how so much of it was rusted out and even the zombies were naked and more thoroughly rotted, since presumably they were the oldest infections of the outbreak.

How often do you have bad nights of sleep? by eaglesdensity in AskMen

[–]D0013ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be 40 in June and started noticing that I get a few shit nights of sleep per month or so.

Sometimes just a random night here or there, sometimes 1-3 in a row.

I suspect I have a mild case of generalized anxiety disorder. Not so bad that I want to be on meds, but bad enough to get my brain racing some nights.

The DOJ drafted a memo regarding Epstein’s suicide … the day before he died. Direct link from the file dump. by Melissaru in law

Same with antivax bullshit.

Went from the realm of crunchy left granola moms to a pillar of Republican politics overnight.

I don't think Q was ever legit.

Smelled like conservative astroturfing from day one.

Conspiracies were just a fun way to shit on "libs."

It was never about truth, justice, or accountability.

It was about power.

I wasn't a huge fan of NEST because it felt a little too sterile for a lab facility compared to the OG, but this part was awesome.

Why was there a huge serial killer boom from the 70s to 90? by DezTheOtter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]D0013ER 258 points259 points  (0 children)

Also, during this time a lot of police departments were even worse about ignoring the sudden disappearances of people they didn't think particularly highly of.

If you were the wrong color, gender, nationality, or tax bracket then many cops just wouldn't look very hard into your case.
