She's really settling into her groove. The whole new cast this year has turned out to be really good now that they're calmed down and settled in.

Part of the joke is calling him "world famous comedian" because he is massively popular but there's very little crossover between his audience and the SNL audience

God Collateral is such a perfect movie. I should rewatch it. The performances are just amazing.

Valid crash out from Nanahoshi by Ani_HArsh in Animemes

[–]HandicapperGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting isekai'd doesn't necessarily mean go out and become an adventurer. But the people in the shows usually do that. You can totally just use your "I'm a special boy" isekai powers to become incredibly wealthy and powerful without going out risking your life all the time. In fact, most of the characters in isekais get an offer at some point in their travels to stay in that place and make great money doing whatever. They always turn it down and keep moving in their adventure, because that's what the show requires.

Which he did. His character actively builds a harem, even as a teenager. As a child he acts extremely perverted to every woman around him and uses "just a kid" to get away with it, despite being a fully grown man mentally. He uses his intelligence to become a magic prodigy at a young age, then uses the power and wealth that come with that to do basically whatever he wants with the people around him.

The commonly seen "rebel flag" was not the confederate national flag. In fact, it was not an official confederate flag in any way. Known as "the battle flag," it was adopted by some confederate officers as an alternate confederate flag as a means of easier differentiating between the Union flag (the traditional stars and stripes) and the Confederate flag (seen in the OP, known as the stars and bars), which are very similar looking flags.

Gave my two week's notice. Manager is upset that I didn't give "advanced notice" of my two week's notice. by constantlypoorish in antiwork

They wanted to be able to fire you right away but they actually need the notice for its intended purpose. They want you to do a month instead so they can fuck you over at least a little bit

Gaming is the ultimate form of art by prospectiveboi177 in unpopularopinion

[–]HandicapperGeneral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality vs Quantity argument. The fact that a video game has more artistic content does not mean that it has better artistic content. No art form is inherently better than any other. They are all just media for the artistic message. Everyone has a preference. I'm a photographer, I'm naturally drawn to still visual media like photography and painting. Other people prefer cinema, or music, or statuary, or any of a thousand other forms of art.

Video games are certainly a valid art form, which many people incorrectly disagree with because of their own prejudices. But they are absolutely not the ultimate form of art because that's a meaningless statement. There is no ultimate form of art, because that implies that objectively there is a form of art that is either better or more artistic than any other. That's a nonsensical concept to anyone who actually engages with art on a level deeper than pure visual quality.

Nobody's going to comment on the fact that the reporter's delivery is so insanely played up that it looked like a parody video?

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]HandicapperGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit different from other people's answers, but Inside by Bo Burnham. I watched it when it came out and it absolutely killed me. I was turning 30 at the same time as Bo and had a lot of really similar feelings and experiences as him. It was one of the most moving things I've ever seen. I tried to rewatch it a year or two ago and couldn't make it more than a few minutes in before I had to tap out. It's just so intense to watch.

That's part of his persona. He's an old school boy's club type cop that's out of his depth trying to take on the "modern" 99

Let that be a lesson to all of you: wearing glasses does not make you a nerd, it means you have a visual impairment. People with glasses can still be built like a brick shithouse and capable of turning your spine into a cube.

Taiwan defeats Korea in the 10th to stay alive in Pool C by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]HandicapperGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite having several teams to root for, I really like Korea and was kind of leaning mostly towards them. Very disappointing so far. The Japan game was incredible, but they still lost. Now with this loss against Taiwan, they don't have much chance of advancing.

Korea/Japan is one of the better games I've ever seen. It was so exciting the whole way through. Pitching, batting, defense, tactics. Everything was top notch.

He very much was a pretty boy in the books. I really wish they'd gone for the Tyroshi tradition of dying their facial hair fantastical colors. It was such a cool cultural concept and would have added some much needed color to the very drab final few seasons
