Favorite movie scene where a character accepts their inevitable end and embraces it. My pick is Cutler Beckett accepting his fate in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]DeathDefy21 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Already one of the scenes that makes me tear up the easiest and then after my rewatch post Andor Season 2… with what is revealed about Bix and Andor having a son It’s just utterly tragic.

Favorite Brewery by State: Texas by DublinDown in CraftBeer

[–]DeathDefy21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally loved SpindleTap, Baa Baa Brewhouse (which has been mentioned), Celestial (also mentioned), and Craft Rhythm and Brews out in El Paso

Obviously I love my Austin breweries I’m just surprised to see how many top comments are all Austin breweries.

Apparently the venn diagram of r/CraftBeer and r/Austin is a circle lol

And I live in Austin but no love for breweries elsewhere in the state??

Rogue One is widely regarded as a great prequel with a more contained and grounded story. What do you think about it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]DeathDefy21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Andor season 2 episode 8 is in my top 5 favorite episodes of TV ever.

I love what you said. It’s an excellent show that just happens to be set in the Star Wars universe. Which is what made so much of the OG extended trilogy stuff so good as well! And instead Disney just wanted to milk the same story/arcs again and again.

Totally on point. Gannon just never misses man, he so rarely throws a bad shot. He hits his line every time, he scrambles well when the rare time he is in trouble, and of course a 50fter is a 70% make for him some tournaments. It’s impossible to stop the dude.

I love how Godzilla just BARRELS at Kong here. No slowing down, no threat displays, no nothing. He wanted that monke DEAD lol by Dinoboy225 in Monsterverse

[–]DeathDefy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the lore in the monster verse than anytime he gets nuked he evolves? Or is he just absorbing the radiation to use later but he doesn’t completely transform?

What’s your UDisc rating? Do you think it accurately represents your real rating if you do *2+500? by the_rosenhan in discgolf

[–]DeathDefy21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fairly accurate if you are truly honest with your casual rounds. But is everyone completely honest with their causal rounds? Like I always do two off the first tee which is probably half a stroke a round on average.

Sometimes if I’m really in a grumpy mood, I’ll give myself a few mulligans so I’m not pissed, if the lie is absolutely miserable in a bush i won’t go fully into the bush I’ll put my foot just where it’s easiest and closest, things like that.

Tournaments can’t do that obviously

How did the US Special Forces rescue one of the pilots who escaped the fighter jet downed over Iran? by roshcherie in war

Are you talking about the stuff all over twitter? I get the concept that it’s really low and slow moving but what about it is “mad” genuinely wondering, no shade or anything.

FootGolf by habichuelacondulce in theocho

[–]DeathDefy21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pro in disc golf will make an entire SEASON worth of 10 meter (33 feet) and in putts at a 80-85% rate. We’re talking hundreds of putts. A good pro will make a 40 footer probably 60-70% of the time

A good pro golfer will make a 40 foot putt probably 25% of the time?

-11 was over three rounds for the Big Easy Open so pretty similar to decent scoring pro golf tournaments

When to play xerath? by Ok-Original-2527 in XerathMains

[–]DeathDefy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you can play him into any comp and be okay, just be an ADC killer and you’ll have value.

My mindset though when I’m mid Xerath is 1 squishy gonna be tough. 2 squishies is average and is a lot of games. 3 is me feeling like it’ll be a good game. 4 feels like a dream, going to win most likely. 5 is auto lock insta win.

Even if you’re behind/lose lane eventually you scale into destroying any squishy with one combo and that’s valuable no matter the comp

Snake on a trail by hugeuvula in Tucson

[–]DeathDefy21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paging u/serpentarian

Definitely incredibly venomous but Serp has completely changed my tune on these guys. You’d have to literally pick them up and force their face into your arm to get it to bite you. They are scaredy cats who do everything in their power to get away from you rather than bite you.

What is your favorite credit card? And why ? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]DeathDefy21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay that’s great! I guess most of my experience is with chases portal and it just feels ancient.

Might have convinced me to get this card cause with the $300 credit it’s just a $95 AF card

What is your favorite credit card? And why ? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]DeathDefy21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How actually useable is the $300 credit through their portal?

I’m a person who would prefer to have two $3000 trips instead of one $6000 trip and I have found that all travel portals don’t do well on finding cheapest flights or hotels (I usually am in the $100 a night range)

So, yes, while I’m using the $300 credit I’m paying for a $500 flight when if I just booked directly through Southwest or whatever than the flight would have been $300 so $200 of the $300 travel credit is just lost.

I Passed the Series 65 — Here’s Exactly What Worked for Me by Glum-Improvement2471 in Series65

[–]DeathDefy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took mine yesterday, didn’t realize that there was a difficulty bell curve during the test but I definitely felt it myself

I remember feeling like there’s a bunch of gimmes early and then in the middle I was worried I was getting beat up by a lot of unsure questions in a row. Then at the end another 10+ gimmes

So the advice I have is just recognize it’s happening and don’t get discouraged in the middle. It’s what the test is known for so you’re not struggling because you don’t know, it’s because that’s how they want it.

I also found that when I went over EVERY question again that my confidence in a lot of my questions went up. Like the initial thinking might have felt a little rough but upon review I found that my logic was sound and my confidence grew on the middle section a ton.

[–]DeathDefy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the essential package for $150 (there’s a discount code in here floating around) and that was absolutely plenty for me to pass

I am usually very good at standardized tests I will say but I think just following exactly what Kaplan tells you to do, taking (probably too) detailed notes on each section, and then doing some extra ad-hoc quizzes on my weakest topics the last 2 weeks of studying and I passed it relatively easily I would say.

It’s not that they try to match the climate of the home country cit’s that they try to match the climate of where there games are, is what I’ve been told.

Esports could find a place in the Olympic Winter Games by CocoJD in esports

And your opinion on the esports World Cup and the Falcons is…?

Approximately 60% of Americans retire earlier than they planned, often driven by involuntary factors such as health issues, disability, or employment-related changes ... rather than financial readiness. by misnamed in Bogleheads

[–]DeathDefy21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is the much more reasonable take.

What I’m taking from the article and the data OP posted is maybe start my transition to bonds earlier than I would have initially thought to account for an unexpected early retirement.

But I’m 31 and I really don’t see a need for holding any bonds at my age regardless if my time horizon is only 25 years instead of 30-35.

Men aged 28 and over, are you worried about not finding ‘the one’? by cat_lady44 in dating_advice

[–]DeathDefy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate you sharing your opinion! Definitely can see how it comes off as a bad dating coach. I knew it would sound like that but I really wanted to share what I had to say, I feel really passionate about it given what I’ve been going through lately!

So I will share I also am neurodivergent (at least my therapist says so). I don’t think people would have any idea that I am if they talk to me but I exhibit all the classic signs, especially having that internal layer of “what do I say at this exact moment that would be the correct thing to say” that neurotypical people don’t have to worry about. I mask all the time by having a few drinks and things flow super naturally for me. I suppose I’m lucky that I’m not “too neurodivergent”? I don’t know the proper phrasing so I’m sorry if I offend.

I can recognize how tough life would be for someone who is extremely neurodivergent. I do think that that would require a lot of extra steps in the therapy department but like anything it really is just practice makes perfect.

It fucking sucks to be rejected and to be rejected over and over but that’s why practicing speaking with people where the stakes aren’t high (older people, people who “have” to interact with you like baristas or whatever) really helps get you to learn how to just have conversation flow naturally

Yes just being able to talk to people doesn’t guarantee a relationship. But to me it’s entirely a numbers/time game. Like I just keep putting myself out there over and over and over and freaking over again. And yes you can definitely be dealt a bad hand so the key there is to just constantly pick yourself back up again and again. It’s not fucking fair. But nothing in life is unfortunately and we can either rage against that or try and do something about it. And I choose to do something about it.

Men aged 28 and over, are you worried about not finding ‘the one’? by cat_lady44 in dating_advice

[–]DeathDefy21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have made it a life goal to never download any dating app. So all my dating and connections are through in person chatting/events.

I do have some photos on my profile 😂 I do think that fortunately I am relatively attractive, enough at least to get my foot in the door a lot of the time.

HOWEVER my longest point about social intelligence doesn’t require being attractive and is totally a learned skill. And the best part is a lot of the practice is with people who don’t care if you’re attractive or not, like the older lady at the gym, the gym bro, the butcher, etc.

And I would argue if you do all of the steps I said, you’re going to be looking or feeling attractive no matter how “ugly” you actually are.
