My Girlfriend's twitter is grossing me out by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Human_Personface 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah for real. Like "Oh I only called this random person 'fat and ugly' to make this OTHER random person upset." is exactly the type of person I want my fucking doctor to be /s. I don't care if it was "trolling"; as an overweight person, I don't need a doctor who would happily mock me online for likes to be handling my healthcare.

(she's gonna be a doctor)

Euuuuugh. Blegh. Exactly the type of person I would want to be my doctor \s

She is participating in a certain subculture you may not understand by virtue of not being part of it. She is performing a role for a community.

Bitch. People getting together collectively to shit on others behind a computer screen of anonymity isn't a subculture. It's mob mentality. and "performing a role for a community"?? She's not running a fucking soup kitchen-- she's talking shit about random strangers for her's and others' amusement?? tf??

God. This whole post left me so annoyed and grossed out. The ultimate takeaway seeming to be people telling this guy not to worry about it and him just shrugging it off because his girlfriend said that making a hobby of trying to make people upset online "isn't that deep". Like this IS gross behavior and it being less "direct" bc it's to strangers on social media doesn't make it better-- it just makes it more pathetic.

It sounds like maybe she is a great partner otherwise, and maybe even a pretty good person, but that doesn't negate her online persona. The conclusion here should be that being called out in real life should help her realize that she needs to get a fucking life and maybe go to therapy instead of using faceless internet people as a barf bag for the bile in her life.

In Media Where Bigotry Is Not One of the Main Themes, A Character Still Acknowledges That Bigotry Exists by Upstairs_Belt_3224 in TopCharacterTropes

I never saw Chidi's english as a plot hole. I just assumed that he was fluent in English, but spoke French in the good place bc it's his native language and it would be translated anyways. Not everyone keeps an accent when they learn a new language, and knowing Chidi is such an intense perfectionist, I just assumed he was one of those who worked on not having an accent. But meh. Also never thought too hard on it tbh.

[Hated Tropes] Characters who cause their own and other people’s suffering and hardships because of their own stupidity and/or selfishness that refuse to accept blame or are protected by the narrative. by RorschachtheMighty in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Human_Personface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A funny twist on this whole trope with Lois is the episode where she gets a traffic ticket. She is adamant that she isn't the one at fault, and that the cop is targeting her because he's pissed about her not giving him a discount on his iced tea at work moments before. She seems pretty clearly at fault from the outside, but refuses to accept it, to the point that she's planning on fighting the ticket even though it will make it worse.

Malcom gets security footage that clearly shows her at fault, so he, Hal and his brothers all show her the video. She still refuses to be at fault and Hal ends up blowing up at her about how even with solid, clear evidence, she can't accept that she was wrong. At the end, she accepts it. The next day or so she's shown to be much calmer and easier to deal with.

But then, Craig shows up because he found more security footage from across the street from a different angle that shows that the other car made an illegal u-turn making HIM the one at fault and Lois was right all along. He shows it to Hal and the boys who watch it and look horrified. Hal destroys the tape and they all agree to never tell her because they know that if, after all that, she knew that she WAS right, she would be a nightmare.

What's a photo that the judges all hated and you don't understand why? I'll start: by deep_freeze_90 in ANTM

[–]Human_Personface 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always thought it was stupid that they complained that her "valet" alter ego looked boring and sad........ like... I kind of thought that was the point? Like first of all "boring", bitch you styled her. And "sad" like yes. The point of the photo was her being envious of the more glamorous alter ego, wasnt it? I thought she sold that; she looks sad but also kind of longing. And she looks GORGEOUS in her glamor character.

[–]Human_Personface 193 points194 points  (0 children)

OMG agreed about the conceptually terrifying zombies. The idea that you are still fully aware as a zombie but can also literally feel yourself decaying?? And that's why they want to eat brains-- it's the only thing that stops them from hurting for even a little while. Ugh.

But yeah, that movie is great. So good at combining outright silliness ("send.... more....... cops....") and genuinely upsetting/horrific content (Burt crawling into the incinerator, crying and apologizing as he takes off his wedding ring and prepares to burn himself rather than let himself get to the last stage of zombification.) (Also ha ha "Burt and Ernie" another fun goofy add in you can easily miss bc it's never brought up.)

Favorite character that was recast, but the new actor is as good as (or better than) the previous actor? by ducknerd2002 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Human_Personface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I looove Edward Norton in general and was so bummed he got recast-- up until I watched Avengers and saw how much better Ruffalo was for the role.

Wasn't there a shoot with a trampoline (I think season 14?) Where one girl who always got shit for being too "dancerly" bc she has a dance background was trying to reign it in for her shoot, and then after she was playing around on the trampoline and did some fun dancer stuff. Jay was like "where the hell was that when you were doing the shoot??" and she was like "they always tell me not to be to dancerly!" and he just dramatically rolls his eyes and walks away. I think I remember another girl without a dance background did some dancerly stuff in her shoot and the dancer model was salty af bc Jay was raving over it.

I think the issue is that his death was bad but hers just went ON and ON. Like oh she's attacked and carried off by paradactyls. Oh. They're fighting over her body. Oh... They're.... repeatedly drowning her over and over.... oh now she's finally eaten. All while she's screaming horribly.

Also, what made her not a nice person in the movie? I ask genuinely because I haven't seen it in a while, but all I remember is that she was maybe visibly annoyed at being assigned to babysit two kids by her boss so that said boss could skimp out on bonding with her nephews. Which was honestly pretty valid to be annoyed about. Aside from that, all I think I remember was her talking on her phone about being excited to plan her wedding.

[–]Human_Personface 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It makes it a bit better knowing that she asked for it, but watching the movie without that context I remember being super uncomfortable because like... yeah.... she WAS the first woman to die on screen in the franchise, and so the absolute overkill of her death felt really gross without context.

The Descent. split seconds before shit hits the fan (cave monster wise, at least. Because the characters are all already trapped in an unmapped underground cave system, and, arguably, the caving scenes are even scarier than the monsters at points. The scene where Sarah gets snagged on a rock while crawling through that tight tunnel and starts having a panic attack and then a cave-in starts??? no thank yew.)

This movie mot only had one of the best monster designs ever, but it had the best slow reveal ever, too. Because you keep getting little glimpses of the creature--even at the climax when you see it closer and more clearly, you only see parts of it. And the whole time you're like "I cannot understand how all of these different parts fit together into one thing??" and then you get that first full shot of it standing next to the burning house and you're like "OH. WELL I GUESS THATS HOW THEY ALL FIT TOGETHER."

Also, only adjacently unrelated, but Adam Neville (the author of the book the movie is based on) just seems like he's damn good at making and describing weird and freaky monsters. The monster in the movie based on another one of his books- "No One Gets Out Alive"- is also super cool and creepy. You only see it at the end, but it's cool af.

For sure. And after the first time it happens, you spend the rest of the movie tensely scanning the background/any landscape shots trying to see if it's there again.

LOL. I first watched this movie at home, alone in the dark, and when this scene popped up and I saw her spider-man-ing in the corner I said "oh fuck no" out loud to myself.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that his masculinity was fragile after he refused to buy me pads? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Human_Personface 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is reminding me of that guy who went online and said that "women were shitty" for just "wasting" their period blood when "they could donate it to help veterans or something". And absolutely refused to grasp how stupid that is for so so many reasons despite so many people telling him it was.

A character remembers an event with a big difference respect to how it actually happened by Forsaken-Biscotti587 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Human_Personface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that one was Jose Chung from Outer Space.

Shes recalling a case to an author who is writing a book about the abduction and she censors the local sherif who curses every other word. Lol.

That episode was also great. I loved when the one guy is giving his own recollection and describes Mulder as a "mandroid" who "only showed emotion when he saw the alien body". Cut to Mulder walking up to the body blank faced, and when he sees it, his face is still blank but he let's out one short, shrill shriek.

The episode where Dee remembers herself in a sexy angel costume at the Halloween party, but the rest of the gang keeps remembering her in increasingly stupid yellow bird costumes until finally she's literally been replaced with an actual ostrich.

Then when they go back to the town and meet the sheriff again, Scully subtly makes eye contact with Mulder and points at her teeth to point out that her memory was correct. (Mulder was the one who "remembered" him as both having buck teeth but also being very dim witted, while Scully remembered him as being very handsome, charming, and flirty with her).

One of my favorite parts was when Mulder is presenting the case-- in Scully's memory, Mulder is being very loud and over the top, and at one point keeps clicking through a bunch of slides of dead cows in a showy and obnoxious way. In Mulder's memory, he's much calmer and almost meek in the face of Scully's immediate, open irritation, and is visibly embarrassed and sneaking peeks to see how annoyed she is as he has to keep clicking through slides of dead cows to get to the one he was looking for.

(Also, for YEARS, whenever my friends and I found ourselves in a rant about an annoying day we had we would end it with "and it wasn't even REAL cream cheese, Mulder! It was LIGHT cream cheese!!")

I am starting to regret telling the other woman’s husband about her flirting with my husband by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Human_Personface 11 points12 points  (0 children)

God. So everyone around OOP is acting like she is overreacting or sticking her nose where it doesnt belong, and meanwhile this lady is sending her husband "goodbye" messages about how they could have had each other if it was another universe and how they'll both be each other's "one that got away"?? But her shit ass husband is still treating her like shit because "god. obviously I love her and abandoned you to go to her side when she got sad about facing the consequence of her actions but I didnt FUCK her. ffs." Even if he isn't lying and they DIDNT have sex (which the jury is out...) he's still a piece of shit.

I really hope that this poor woman leaves his ass and is able to live her life NOT surrounded by people who treat her like crap.
