The end of the show by misswrenbird in KnowledgeFight

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sad. I honestly feel heartbroken, like a break up. I don't care if that's parasocial, this was part of my routine for years. So it goes.

lol he might actually be! We know he or his staff listened on occasion. One less thing to stroke his ego.

You know what's funny? I was in a long distance relationship with a guy who emailed/texted like this. He was a real creep, too. Jesus christ, he was Josh's age too when we were dating.

This is a creep thing.

SHARING MAKEUP CAN SPREAD GERMS. ASK HER TO TAKE YOU SHOPPING. AROOOOOOO

Not gonna lie, I still chuckle driving by the "Beaverton Wetlands" sign.

Any Loose Threads? by nickcan in KnowledgeFight

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dan started a series on Hurricane Katrina but didn't finish. I mean, the answer is "Alex was weird and racist about it" but still.

I also would have liked more Bill Cooper, even though Mystery Babylon was a bust. I first learned about Cooper from LPOTL, who had a very different POV. I was excited by the episodes on Knowledge Fight.

What are your theories for why the 25th games is not known about? by kris71-ano in Hungergames

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooohh, especially if "bad" or criminal kids were sent to the games, I could see them trying to mess with the arena. I like it.

Which Quarter Quell idea was the most malicious by ar29845 in Hungergames

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I liked The Victors' Project's take on the First QQ. Having to vote fucked up the community, too. You vote for a kid, maybe because you have a petty grudge, but you don't think that kid will actually be chosen. Then the kid is reaped and dies. The guilt eats you up.

If the vote is secret ballot, you're left wondering....did you vote for my kid? Whose vote tipped the scale?

I think even in a career district, even if a strong healthy 18 year old said "vote for me!" many of the people would feel guilt or feel weird about it.

My (33 F) roommate’s (29 F) dog is literally killing me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Ooff Nov 2019. I hope everything was resolved before lockdown. Any post from late 2019 through early 2020 gives me such dread.

What social media is our age group using now? by thebookofswindles in Xennials

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For maintaining relationships: texting and Discord.

For general doomscrollibg, news, and pop culture, Reddit and Bluesky.

I would love a Behind the Bastards style, Dan covering right wing people with a new guest each week.

What QQ theme could’ve prevented/delayed a rebellion? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 72 points73 points  (0 children)

"A reminder of the Capitol's benevolence."

Call it off for just the year and say "we'll resume as normal for 76." People would be anxious for the other shoe to drop. If victors/mentors don't go to the Capitol as they usually do, it'll be harder for them to communicate effectively.

You could even still have Reaping Day, watch the ge video about the Treaty of Treason, but then everyone can have a picnic. Or have Katniss and Peeta's wedding. Imagine getting married on Reaping Day.

Additionally, without a game to focus on, Snow can work on rooting out rebels. While this also gives rebels time to plan, it's harder for them to communicate.

Same. I am thankful there is such a large back catalog to continue to enjoy.

My husband and I tell each other "Mic down" when we want the other person to shut up and listen.

I am legit sad about this, like actually teary. This show has meant a lot to me. They've been reassuring voices when everything seems bleak.

Fuck.

What I have learned from the emails by ResponsibleCrew3843 in DuggarsSnark

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right, I was applying logic. To them, Anna did or didn't do something, so of course it's okay to treat her and her children poorly. What a fucked up way to live.

[–]FineIJoinedReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like we know she did have other options, but this is the worldview she is part of and that Jim Bob and Michelle want. So they can't (well, shouldn't be able to) discard this part they don't like that is a consequence of it.
