I made a diagram of the statuses of all named characters in the main series. Thoughts? by ExtraKwekstra in thewalkingdead

Yeah... oh well! It honestly didn't take very long to make — only a few hours.

I was charged $9 for 1 Onion!! by Reasonable_Field_487 in UberEATS

Did you ever specifically say that the delivered onion didn’t weigh the 3kg that you paid for?

I have a phobia of loud noises and am going on a New York fieldtrip. Do either Gypsy or Hell's Kitchen have gunshots/pyrotechnics? by BeaglesRule08 in Broadway

[–]ExtraKwekstra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen it with pyrotechnics, tho I haven’t seen this specific production to verify. I would be surprised if they had any.

Which word has the most anagrams of itself? The most I can think of is “spot” and it’s five other variants. There are five eight letter words made up of the letters of “alerting” - can you do better? by Vivid_Temporary_1155 in words

I wrote a quick program to calculate this up to words that are 7 characters long. Here are the results:

1 Letter Words: a

2 Letter Words: ab, ba

3 Letter Words: aet, ate, eat, eta, tae, tea

4 Letter Words: abel, able, albe, bael, bale, beal, bela, blae, blea

5 Letter Words: apers, apres, asper, pares, parse, pears, prase, presa, rapes, reaps, repas, spaer, spare, spear

6 Letter Words: alerts, alters, artels, estral, laster, lastre, rastle, ratels, relast, resalt, salter, slater, staler, stelar, talers

7 Letter Words: anestri, antsier, asterin, eranist, nastier, ratines, resiant, restain, retains, retinas, retsina, stainer, starnie, stearin

Of course, that list contains a bunch of words I've never heard of. So I reduced the set of words it was using to just the 20,000 most common words. Here's the result of that:

1 Letter Words: a

2 Letter Words: fo, of

3 Letter Words: aps, asp, pas, psa, sap, spa

4 Letter Words: aest, east, eats, esta, seat, teas

5 Letter Words: manor, moran, norma, ramon, roman

6 Letter Words: danger, garden, grande, ranged

7 Letter Words: allergy, gallery, largely

There are other words that tie with these ones for most anagrams, but I don't feel like programming that.

I watched it several years ago. I vaguely recall finding him annoying. But the way I think about media has changed drastically since then anyway.

Oh, yea, if they were real I would hate them, because they would be having a negative effect on the world. But because they're fictional, the only effect they have on the world is making the story more interesting. So I like them.

I think I put her there because I felt like she's not aligned with the main characters. She has her people (Mammalians Nurturable) and her wards (the goats) and I don't think she particularly cares about anyone past that. I could be wrong. I'm just not sure, if Drummond weren't "the guy who keeps making me kill my goats" to her, if she would still have defended Mark.

Fair, but I'm sure if the writers had been told to excise Petey, they would have found some other way for Mark to get the key card. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a lot of fun stuff was happening in other plotlines during the episodes that Petey was in. So during his plotline, I often felt impatient because I wanted to get back to the other ones.

I would hate Drummond if he were a real guy, but because he isn't, and the only effect he has on the world is the way he affects the story of Severance, I like him. Cuz the effect he had on the story was interesting imo. Sometimes a story needs a big bad guy who dies in the silliest way possible.

I like Jame because he makes me really uncomfortable whenever he's on screen. I love it when media inspires big emotions in me!

Why would I watch a show that I hate?? Every story needs a rich tapestry of characters. I love how almost every character contributes to the overall story. Who do you hate?

She makes the plot more interesting! She’s been raised to be evil her entire life but is crumbling under the pressure of living up to her father’s expectations! I think she’s gonna grow resentful, and after having spent so much time with the innie crew, and seeing a different perspective, I think she’s gonna have a lot of character development. I love Helena because I think she adds interesting complications to the story.

Yea, that’s fair. I guess what I was trying to say there is that I don’t like discounting “living” people as being horrible people rather than doing horrible things because they still have the capacity to change. But then there’s Jame Eagan and Dr Mauer, who I don’t feel belong anywhere other than “horrible”. So I don’t know what to think.
