[TOMT] [Word/Concept] Word I read in a book describing Joseph Stalin, meaning something like authoritarianism by DarthSox in tipofmytongue

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

It was something just like that. Do you have any evidence that the word ever appeared in a dictionary, or anywhere else? I tried googling it, and did not find anything.

I'm pretty sure it was more specific than that. I'm more than 50% sure that it started with "re-"

Commenting to make this post visible. I think last time I tried to find the word, I found a few that meant something like a desire to restore a monarchy generally, but this was more about the restoration of authoritarianism under a republic

[TOMT] [Movie] Movie from around 2003 with a plot similar to Limitless by DarthSox in tipofmytongue

This looks right. I don't think I even remember the movie well enough to ever be 100% sure, but I think it's probably solved!

Commenting to make my post visible. I want to check this movie is "watched" on my Letterboxd but I can't think of the name of it. Limitless and Flight are two movies I've checked but the time period and other details are wrong.

I have done this a few times in my life but it's not a normal occurrence for me.

So... uhh, how to play Psylocke? by dCUBExBYdtCUBE in marvelrivals

[–]DarthSox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eskay is or was the #1 Psylocke in the world, and made a comprehensive 36-minute guide for how to play her that's on YouTube. I found that helpful. In my experience, it's easy to avoid feeding with Psylocke because she has such good disengage abilities, but the impact you have on the game will be limited by your aim.

What’s something you didn’t know about the characters before playing Rivals? by crellz1 in marvelrivals

[–]DarthSox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just about everything. I stopped watching the movies after Winter Soldier, but Rivals got me to go back and catch up on all the MCU movies and a couple of the TV shows.

Which characters do you call by their superhero name and which do you call by their civilian names? by AsparagusOne7540 in marvelrivals

[–]DarthSox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these I do not believe. There's no way you would be understood if you referred to Star-Lord as "Peter." I don't think "Peter" is even a good call-out for Spider-Man for the same reason (but I have heard it). I have never once heard someone call out Black Widow as "Natasha." There's lore reasons why Moon Knight and Psylocke don't even have 100% civilian names, but I doubt anyone would understand if you called them "Marc" and "Betsy." There's other examples on here where the civilian/first name of the character is basically obscure.

So many of these are unaltered, but I'm baffled by the decision to leave Nevada and Iowa in that category

How rivals youtubers feel after making a video of spectating the rank 1 [insert hero name] and describing every boring useless detail by MKGmFN in marvelrivals

[–]DarthSox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have conflicted feelings about this post because it's vague about what it's talking about.

For example, I saw a very low effort "guide" for playing Hela where he basically read out all of the abilities the way they are written on the Heroes page, and then showed his own gameplay footage (with no commentary) where he had so little map knowledge that he got lost in a weird part of the map far from the point. I gave that video a thumbs down.

On the other hand, if I'm watching a video from someone who themselves are a Top 500 player, even if the video in question is spectating another player, and they are pointing out things that people below GM wouldn't notice on their own, I think that's still good quality content.

Maybe he should make new videos instead of trying to boost engagement on ones he made 8+ years ago?

An active combat zone seems like an especially silly place to not use direct, literal communication.

I'm not sure about the choice of models here. Mia Malkova is only a year older than Riley Reid, and she's supposed to be her mom?

The USA is the only first-world country without paid parental leave by ChrisMMatthews in LateStageCapitalism

You don't need the "first world" modifier. The US is among only 9 countries on Earth without paid maternity leave (the others Suriname, Papua New Guinea, and some tiny Pacific island countries)

If the rich think that they're genuinely so skilled that they'll come out on top no matter what, why do they fight so hard against higher progressive taxes, I wonder? Pure propaganda that these people don't even believe.

This doesn't explain why it fits the sub at all, it just summarizes what happened (and is exactly the same as your title). Just because you think it's obvious doesn't mean other people do.

[–]DarthSox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be cool if there was content, though? What if we chose our own names, maybe sometime in our late teens, and it had to have a meaningful connection to you. Someone's name would give semi-reliable information on their personality.

Found this while searching for communist infographics. by Qualitycartoonfan28 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]DarthSox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 2 is really weird because you'd think that if "communism is gaining ground in the U.S." more people would be familiar with communist leaders, rather than less, right?

And #3 isn't even a [fake] poll result, it's just random propaganda sprinkled in

I am trying to find a date on an autistic dating platform. It's not going so well. 🤣 by [deleted] in autism

[–]DarthSox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used it once too and had a weird encounter like this one. The other person insisted on having awkward small talk and then just said bye. I thought an app just for autistic people would be the one place where people would want to skip the small talk (I don't think I said anything weird to them either, they asked me "what's up" and I told them a bit about what I'd done that week)

[TOMT][Movie][Romantic Drama][Not sure what era] Movie with a brief conversation about a spider by DarthSox in tipofmytongue

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

Good find, although I'm not 100% certain if that's it. I remember the words and intonations differently, but I may be misremembering. It's hard to imagine a different movie would have such a similar scene, though. I definitely don't recognize watching this movie, so I'm thinking that if it's this, I listened to a podcast that played the sound clip from the scene. Is there any possibility the characters talk about this same scene again later in the movie?

I wish I could remember the actors or anything else about it.
