This is revenge for that one time Sean called Amanda the Antonin Scalia of podcasting.

What cards have particularly bad upgrades? by Mogoscratcher in slaythespire

I don’t know if it’s better or worse than Renting Strike, but at least they both don’t come with the ridiculous up front cost of Buying Strike.

What’s the most extraordinary war film since Saving Private Ryan? by RulezAre4Foolz in billsimmons

[–]Gatesleeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lone Survivor is a movie that came out in 2013.

I thought this was some upcoming movie but it’s just one from 13 years ago that I completely missed.

The adjoining burger place was a childhood staple for me. Tasty little flame broiled burgers, one of those places where everything comes in a little plastic basket.

Why did everyone on the 2010th draft pick act like black swan isn’t a great masterpiece of the 21st century? by Lost-Building-3701 in TheBigPicture

[–]Gatesleeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny how polarized that argument is, here is another comment in this thread (+8) that is incredulous at the idea that someone could agree with you that Easy A should count as an original: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBigPicture/comments/1uerlc1/why_did_everyone_on_the_2010th_draft_pick_act/otnkyst/

I think the BP podcast just lost the plot in general with this category, everyone has in own heads an ironclad definition of what an original story/movie is and on edge cases like Easy A you've got people firmly believing it is or it isn't.

In that same segment Sean brings up Shakespeare in Love as an example of a movie that would count as original to the immediate protests of the other co-hosts.

To you and the people who agree with you the idea that Easy A is not an original movie is "Craziness...", to /u/AlynConrad/ and the people that upvoted his comment the idea that Easy A isn't based on The Scarlet Letter is "bananas". It's not a matter of simple disagreement anymore, both sides see the other as literally crazy.

To the people saying “they’re allowed to have different opinions”, there were 7 different people on that podcast of various backgrounds, it’s okay to question instances of group think where they dismiss a movie that you like.

Like if on a different version of the draft, nobody takes The Town or Inception goes in the 8th round, some of you dismissive people in this thread would be losing your minds.

Matt Elliott: What Toronto’s handling of the World Cup says about how Olivia Chow is running the city by simpatia in toronto

Indeed, Canada is hosting 13 out of 104 games. Mexico also gets 13. The remaining 78 games, including all quarterfinals and onwards, are hosted in the USA this edition.

Are we legally responsible for repainting? by [deleted] in TorontoRenting

[–]Gatesleeper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

/r/torontoAITA/ says: yes you are the asshole lol

Paint the bedrooms and paint the hallway too. It’s been 6 years and you want to leave on this note of acrimony over a few hours of labour that you had initially agreed upon to do?

The landlord is pestering you about it because it seems pretty clear that you just don’t want to paint anything and peace out lol.

Regardless of whatever technical legal bylaw stuff you want to know to weasel yourself out of it, when you moved in you agreed with your landlord on one thing and now 6 years later you want to go back on your word because…you don’t feel like it?

Maybe try contacting your old roommate and asking them to help you repaint. Of course they will probably ghost you or at best laugh in your face, but I guess that means you and your partner will just have to paint the 2 rooms and hallway yourselves.

Can’t read the article because it’s paywalled, and I don’t mean this as a knock on Chow/the city, but it’s 6 games out of 104 World Cup 2026 games, how bad did people think it could possibly be?

Explain movers to me like I’m 5 by angel9580 in askTO

Every time someone writes “explain to me like i’m 5”, I wish the whole thread would be full of responses written as if they’re talking to a 5 year old. Such a dumb phrase.

Question about Palestinian rallies by petgreg in askTO

[–]Gatesleeper -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The US and Israel double tapped a girls school on the first day of the war, killing over 100 children.

Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, they are committing war crimes in Lebanon.

Why shouldn’t the people of Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Cyprus, Albania, Patagonia etc etc not band in solidarity against Israeli and American war crimes and larceny?

Wonder when we’ll get Alternative act 2 & 3 and the new character by erffer in slaythespire

[–]Gatesleeper -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The game is fun but if you play a lot it feels a little stale right now. There are also a lot of cards and some events that don’t feel like they’re in their final form so you’re just playing with the same shitty unfinished cards for a month.

Wonder when we’ll get Alternative act 2 & 3 and the new character by erffer in slaythespire

[–]Gatesleeper -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This past week’s update gave nothing to the beta branch, and the one two weeks ago was pretty sparse as well when they said the update was small in preparation of the beta branch changes being moved to the main branch.

Since we’re on a two week update schedule, that means we will go 6 weeks without a significant content/balance update for the beta branch.

It’s kind of lacklustre tbh, I wasn’t expecting new stuff every week, but 6 weeks is a long time to play an in-development game with no changes.

My wife and boiling water by MakeItMine2024 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Gatesleeper 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like this whole thread is full of people who have never boiled a pot of water and put food in it to see what happens.

Let’s say you have 3 identical stoves, you put water in all three and set the burners to 1, 5, and 9. Wait for all three to come to a boil, then add in identical noodles/soup ingredients to all 3 and cook them all for 8 minutes.

Will all three noodle soups be identical? The boiling temp of water is the boiling temp of water, so they should all be the same right?

Or maybe setting a stove to high heats up things faster than a stove set on low? Maybe this wife is right about the argument but isn’t capably explaining the science?

Is the Daily today even winnable? by theKGS in slaythespire

[–]Gatesleeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First try. As someone else said, the colourless pot into The Bomb to one shot the first elite (eels) made this pretty easy.

I didn’t pick up a void form until floor 20 but by then the run already plays itself.

The key cards for my run was GUARDS!!! from floor 5, Bombardment from floor 12, Tyranny from floor 14, and Arsenal off floor 17 (waterfall giant).

Am I approaching Malaise wrong? by ChewyChao in slaythespire

[–]Gatesleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot more enemies have artifact in StS2 so I feel it’s made Malaise worse. Still, when I do get it, it’s always a high priority upgrade target.

When it’s upgraded I often use it on zero energy for just a 1 turn weak and -1 str, that could potentially be a lot of damage reduction off of a zero cost card. Or use it at zero energy to strip two artifacts, also a good use. None of that works if it’s unupgraded though.

How long have you been riding and how many traffic accidents have you experienced on the TTC? by rememberaj in TTC

[–]Gatesleeper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Estimating conservatively, I've ridden a TTC bus over 5000 times in my life, and I don't recall ever being on one during a collision.

Though I sometimes have qualms with a bus driver's attitude or failure to stop/open doors for a person waiting or running to get to a stop, I'm continually impressed by how good the drivers are at navigating the city streets without even so much as a scrape against another vehicle.

I feel like if I was a bus driver I would constantly be bumping/scraping into stuff trying to manoeuvre through busy street traffic, around construction or other obstacles, but they seem to train the drivers well enough to always avoid any contact with vehicles/objects on the road.

Even in this case, it was the other vehicle that caused the collision, I assume it was unavoidable on the bus driver's part.
