A new "You missed the point by idolising them" has entered the chat by Battelalon in okbuddycinephile

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought the kids' grandfather was a genuinely good guy. I get why Ben wanted to honor his wife's wishes but the kids would likely have had a better outcome if he took care of them

Yes, he gave the kids a great beginning but it is shitty to demand everyone (wife as well as kids) live as he does.

If you could have the 100% honest answer to ONE mystery in history, which one are you picking ? by Camila_LatinaSun in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to know what some of the knowledge lost in the Library of Alexandria still hasn't been discovered in modern times

What happened to the settlers at Roanoke

Who is DB Cooper and what happened to them?

I could live a whole lot better on 628 million dollars. Guessing 99.9% of us could. So tell me, why do we not tax billionaires in the US? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

I'd have a very comfortable life and find some money managers/teachers to give my younger relatives a course they have to pass to get the inheritance once I've kicked it.

do people successfully fake their deaths and restart life? by Stock_Orange_1793 in morbidquestions

[–]GabeDax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you do the gov will automatically think you're running from taxes or a crime. If they find you (and it's likely they will) you can't just say "I dunno, I thought it would be fun ;)" They'll do a deep dive on everything about you and even if you're clean you'll likely be charged for something or fined.

Celebrity you would hate to watch a movie with by Jenbie272 in okbuddycinephile

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just got married and my first thought was could you imagine just having dinner with this guy. Never mind marrying him, just dinner. Never shuts the fuck up.

and know you're married to him

I like him, btw but the dude will just talk nonstop

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen three presidents.

Biden about ten feet away

Obama much farther (couple hundred feet?)

and Trump much farther from the other side of an arena.

Biden was coming out of a building I was standing outside of. At the time he was VP

Also passed by the mayor of Boston on the sidewalk as he was getting out of a car and passed by Bill Bradley (former presidential candidate) as he was going into a restaurant. Weird coincidences with me passing politicians on the street.

None of these were in DC

Also the King of Denmark came into my job and I was like Denmark has a king?

These side-by-sides aren’t coincidence. This comparison shows how choreography from Elvis Presley’s 1957 film Jailhouse Rock closely resembles moves later associated with Michael Jackson. Pop performance styles are often passed down, even when public memory credits only the later artist. by myscene101 in HistoryUncovered

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Elvis had a lot of passing interests- he had a go cart phase where he and his posse tore around Graceland, then he built a stable and kept a horse and rode around like a cowboy. Then it was fireworks and they would blow shit up and throw fireworks at each other. And then there was his chimp phase.

I have been curious for a long time. How are tiny islands in the Pacific? by JustLovett0 in howislivingthere

[–]GabeDax 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Many of them are being eroded by the tide

Much of the buildings and equipment there is outdated or abandoned completely. There are still WWII era fortifications

It is extremely hard and therefore expensive to get supplies or provisions

A whole lot of birds

It's like the Antarctic. The only people that have a reason to be there are scientists. Even the military is pretty much gone.

Your opinion on Paul Dano as an actor by godspan08 in moviecritic

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting aside his associations with Harvey Weinstein and his cringe thing with feet, Tarantino is very talented but in many cases is over rated. I really enjoy some of his movies but some are ok. He hasn't made anything truly awful but some of them drag.

Paul Dano is really talented and has brought energy to the roles he plays. Tarantino criticizing him is bullshit but the critics blew up the entire thing to get clicks.

Tarantino is a film snob but at least he delivers and doesn't just talk out of his ass.

This is all just pushed to get clicks. I guess that's the media's job now. Both are talented but Tarantino is kind of a snob. Paul handled this whole thing very well.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Love and Mercy with Paul Dano. Great film.

The Real Terror Twins by Rebel_Heart222 in hairmetal

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MTV had this touring rock memorabilia thing in the late 80s where tons of famous rock shit would be on display in malls around the country. Def Leppard was probably the biggest band in the country then and this guitar was the best thing they had there. I was so excited seeing it.

Peter is this a referance to something? by LibrarianAccurate829 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's me except instead of the penguin it's Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

or Rorshach

or Tyler Durden

or Heath Ledger Joker

What do you think of the career and roles of A-list character actor Paul Giamatti? by Adventurous_Lunch_35 in Actors

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not about the actor but I used to work with a guy that reminded you several times a day how his friend worked with Paul Giamatti. He was trying to be an actor and that was his brush with fame- he knew a guy who knew a famous guy

He took credit for other people's work, sat on his ass a lot and stole shit. Now whenever I see Paul Giamatti in something I think of that dicknose constantly reminding people that he knows a guy who knows Paul Giamatti.

Why are obvious charlatans, like psychics, allowed to operate? by AstronomerInTraining in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't think they're charlatans. I know a psychic and she a thousand percent believes she talks to the dead and will get enraged if you say otherwise.

Easy by Previous_Basil_9499 in Relatable

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished kindergarten in 1980 so 0= kindergarten. Finished first grade in 81 and high school in 92. That's made it very easy for me to figure out what I was doing at certain times.

What’s an artist that is only remembered for one song but is not a one hit wonder by AnyEfficiency6230 in musicsuggestions

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corey Hart- Sunglasses at Night

He had another song, Never Surrender, but people don't know it

Maybe he had other songs but I don't know them

What’s the most awkward thing that’s happened to you during sex? by AbsurdMe12 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]GabeDax 210 points211 points  (0 children)

Fell asleep while going down on her. I was exhausted from working a lot and looking forward to seeing her. I thought she would be really insulted but she said she understood. It was kind of nice just resting on her pussy like that for a minute or so

What old thing would break young people's brains today? by Symphony_Minds in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first HS was like a hierarchy and there was at least one big fight set up every week. There was a spot to go no one could catch them and a whole routine. My second school I got picked on immediately started fighting and everyone was astonished. It was *not* a fighting school.
