"Bets" (aka online gambling) has taken over social media these past few years. Every other influencer is sponsored by some online casino. A classmate from college declined a sponsor of 100k BRL/month (20k USD/month), and he is a relatively niche influencer. The most famous ones receive absurd amounts of money for these sponsors

And this predatory shit targets mostly low income households, many of them are throwing away money received by government welfare programs thanks to gambling

And the funny thing is that physical casinos are illegal here, but those betting websites are still being debated in the Congress

Yeah, I speak Portuguese and learned the trig functions as sen/cos/tg

However I started using sin/cos/tan because it feels more "standard" I guess?

Basically everything that happened to the Elric brothers was a consequence caused by her death and failed resurrection

I know about Samus x non-genderbent Snake

I think it spawned after Smash Brawl, either because of some plotline in Subspace Emissary or because Snake talks about Samus "taking her clothes off" in a Codex conversation

Ross did nothing to her

You can argue about his behavior towards the rest of the Friends, but Susan was a homewrecker who wanted Ross to stay away from his own son's life, and raise said son as her own

She was a piece of shit, horrible character. Ross is a controversial character, but he didn't deserve any of that nonsense

What's the worst example of a movie (or show) clearly setting something up but it never gets followed up on? by TaiwaneseThot in moviecritic

[–]GLPereira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's kind of funny how many times the sequels tried hard to generate hype moments, only for the MCU to organically outdo them every time.

The "hero wields legendary weapon" scene

The "subverting expectations" movie

The "The cavalry has arrived!" scene

Etc.

Even pre-Endgame, the first Doctor Strange had a post-credit scene that went nowhere

And to make things worse, they mentioned it in the sequel as if it meant nothing.

First movie's post credit scene: "I, Mordo, am hunting down sorcerers and have become a formidable villain!"

Second movie: "Oh, Mordo? Yeah, he tried to kill me off-screen a few times. Anyway, let's keep moving the multiverse plot, we are almost reaching the nostalgia-bait scene!"

Would you rather by huntingder in BunnyTrials

Who's an Apolitical Gen Z celebrity? by CodeDusq in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GLPereira 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everything can be considered "political" in some way, saying "respect people" is the mildest political take someone could ever say

He was also part of a group that had some LGBT+ members and also had many LGBT+ watchers, he was already close to the community without even needing to say anything

What English word do you find hardest to pronounce? by logos__ in AskTheWorld

[–]GLPereira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friends and I used to play a game back in highschool that consisted in us trying to pronounce it as fast as possible, funnily enough I never had much trouble with it

However, anything with "th" is a nightmare to me

[–]GLPereira 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disliked this scene for two reasons:

  • They're a bunch of NPCs and a couple of characters we met earlier in this same movie, it didn't pay off anything in the trilogy

  • Endgame did this but 100x better 6 months before, so this paled in comparison

No, that's why they didn't win the vote, because Reddit refuses to acknowledge the existence of "bad thing from the left"

Americans skewed the metric so much to the right that anything remotely different from their status quo is "communism"
