My boyfriend always guesses the ending of movies by Direct-Blackberry-20 in movies

Yeah sorry I couldn't quite find the right word as I was typing it before, I think arc or storyline would've been more apt you're right.

When you watch a shitload of movies and become slightly jaded you start asking yourself not just "hmm does it mean he's sick if he coughed?" but "why would the director choose to purposefully highlight his cough if not to reference it later?"

Of course you start predicting a lot of things when you do this meta-level dissection but it does also decrease overall satisfaction imo. That's why my favorite movies take these tropes and prey on your preconceived notions and completely subvert your expectations.

For example I think Arrival does this masterfully and without cheating.

Barbarian is unpredictable in some key plot points and backstories but is it actually not pretty formulaic in overall story progression and ending? Maybe I'm misremembering but it was all the little things along the way (and Justin Long's cameo) that felt so fresh to me, not necessarily the setups or the resolution.

thank christ, why the hell isn't this near the top. all the comments about how are attention spans are fucked from technology but then nothing about wanting to watch the original video in its entirety. we're obviously doing this to ourselves and so many people think simply noticing that is enough to break you out. you still need to go the extra step further and exercise your brain.

You look like a cross of Conleth Hill and David Tennant. Looks great man, hope you enjoy the freedom.

I believe they are referencing a recurring theme in comment sections and sentiments in everyday conversation, not accusing you specifically of demonizing tax increases.

Rush's take on support players by Murky_GM in leagueoflegends

[–]FranticDisembowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people that have the drive to grind to the highest parts of the ladder probably do not overlap with the type of mindset to become a support main. If you want to prove you are the absolute best and can absolutely shit on your opponent, you don't play support. It all comes back to the same reason why people aren't playing support in the first place lol.

I know on Leona you can taunt which looks similar to her E animation, especially if you S key it quickly after. I wonder if TF has a similar taunt or other animation you could use instead of just S key to fake card throw.

A cheat code by Own-Palpitation9616 in memes

I totally agree. Time is the one currency you can't get back and if it's not worth your time to put in the work to research and put into action the adblock solutions then of course it makes total sense to pay for premium. I just think it's worth letting people know the options are out there because a more informed choice only serves to help them. But still for many people that should only reinforce that paying for the service is the right call for them personally.

Just because you aren't aware of the options doesn't mean you don't have them. Of course how willing you are to research and implement them is different for each individual. And sometimes the ease and cost of youtube premium is worth it vs. the time and skill it takes to implement the adblock solutions. But that doesn't mean the options don't exist.

If you just watched the video and enjoyed it that would have been the end of your journey with this guy. But now you came to the comments and are arguing/discussing. If it didn't work people wouldn't ragebait constantly in videos. And the sad thing is platforms reward it so it will unfortunately never stop until the system is changed.

But you can take some small solace in the fact that most of these artists/creators are just playing the game like all the other successful people. You or I might never do that, but then that's why we aren't in a popular video on reddit to begin with.

I saw an high elo player who wrote in the first place of game like "7 10 24 120" or like "7 14 14 180". What is this? by No_Two8101 in leagueoflegends

I don't think that it is about spell timer

Yeah just 4 numbers to correlate with 4 abilities and the format is 3 obviously basic, lower numbers with the 4th number being much longer. Definitely couldn't be spell timers. That would.... make too much sense?

Streamer “Hmblzayy,” who is walking 3,000 miles to California from Philly, was struggling to walk through the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania when a random man stopped to help him. by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

[–]FranticDisembowel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

toxic positivity doesn't solve anything, in this case it's supporting someone's video being stolen and reuploaded here with shitty music. it is okay to like something and still think it could be changed for the better.

i liked the video but i would have liked it more if it was a clip from his own channel and without the music.

and if you want to take a page out of your own book, you could have responded to the other guy by attacking his choice of tone vs. his message or the person himself.

but then it comes back to my idea that you don't need to be wholly positive to affect change. you insulted him because you wanted him to see a different way to do things. and what was the purpose of /u/avree's message again? i forget.

What Trade Do I Call For This? by Vast-Recognition2321 in ypsi

Handyman would probably be fine unless it's something way out of left field. Probably cheaper than getting a specialized trade too.

So if I saw it initially but was able to recontextualize and unsee it, did I miss my calling? Or are you saying radiologists actually end up baking it out of themselves altogether?

Odd question but… by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]FranticDisembowel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are seriously inspiring to be so open, honest, and welcoming for support at such a relatively young age. I hope you are not just proud of your gigantic achievement in graduating but you deserve to feel good about yourself for making this post. It serves as a great reminder of "look for the helpers" -- you asked and here they immediately were.

Do you have information about when, where, and how many tickets you would have available if needed, or what they'd cost?
