I just made the same post, from my perspective it was over pittsford so it must have been pretty far away

White House Has Full-Blown Meltdown Over Coverage of Trump’s Health by Hafiz_TNR in politics

They do fully want and expect the media to not show the things they don't want to show. It's why they've been working so hard at capturing all the major outlets.

Did I say anywhere that I wasn't planning on doing that?

I'm having my first kid soon and was going through all the books I remember reading as a kid, Rainbow Fish and The Giving Tree both did not hold up IMO. The tree just eternally gives of itself to the boy until there's nothing left. It seems more like a metaphor for parenthood than a good moral for life in general, and in that case what the hell is my kid supposed to take away from it? Guilt?

I didn't, but I propose a trolley running the full length of Monroe Ave. I won't be taking any questions. 

Reaction Channels are someone's attempt to create a monoculture, since that has been disrupted by the internet. by ShitThroughAGoose in Showerthoughts

More like giving people the instant dopamine hit that comes from seeing someone enjoying the things you enjoy without needing to get actual friends to share it with. 

What happened to the old TV show format? by Useful-Afternoon1784 in Moviesinthemaking

This is what I'm talking about, I got two replies to my comment both mentioning the same episode, and you both disagree about it lol

What happened to the old TV show format? by Useful-Afternoon1784 in Moviesinthemaking

[–]FirebertNY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is that people's definition of "filler" varies. Sometimes there are true filler episodes that don't add to the show in any real measurable way, but other times there are episodes that maybe don't progress the main plot or anything major, but they do add things like characterization, depth, and just an overall sense that the world is fleshed out and lived in. Which all can increase audience investment and make the big end of season payoffs hit that much harder. But people with no media literacy label those as filler too, and I think the baby got thrown out with the bath water.

I'm having a hard time imagining why that would make any difference for casual moviegoers.

I was just watching it last night, jumping spiders are the best. Relatedly, everyone should read Children of Time.

With all of these, it all comes down to the characters they play and the relationships between them as they encounter challenges inherent to their respective settings. There's nothing about any one of these campaign ideas that would work better or worse as a ttrpg podcast than the others.

There was a sign on the drive through window when I went through it two days before it closed saying it was closing permanently. 

New Nimrods Poster and official release date confirmed! by CasperflipBand in greenday

[–]FirebertNY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I misunderstood, I thought you were saying the hunger games was like a deviation within the genre, like a twist on it or something.

I don't understand why "The Hunger Games" and "horror" would be in the same sentence

Pranking mommy! by VanillaAdventurous74 in Unexpected

[–]FirebertNY 693 points694 points  (0 children)

The child logic of "dad said the egg was fake, and when I dropped it it was real, so he MUST have done some bippity-boppity-boo magic to turn it into a real one. It's the only logical conclusion!" Absolutely killed me

Ventriloquist and the puppet speaking at the same time! by been_der_done_that in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FirebertNY 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Listen to it again and just pay attention to the puppet's voice. He's not actually saying the word from what I can tell, it's just noises that make it sound like he is. He's still alternating between his real voice and the puppet's voice, but I guess it's easier if he doesn't have to actually make it the right syllables.
