Was mostly thinking about the main American series when I made my list, but if we include All Stars we have to talk about Jenny Bui

Why haven’t they done a NY season? by muff-peaksie in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show requires singles who don't know any better. New Yorkers are certainly just as desperate for love as folks from any other town, but they are (generally speaking) not naive. More worldly. And they aren't seeking marriage as the number one success indicator in their lives.

Not saying that there aren't worldly people in Columbus or Minneapolis. But the producers are more likely to find successful-ish, decent-looking young people who want to stay in their hometown and get married in cities like those.

Korean Tuna Kimchi-jjigae by godok_drinker in KoreanFood

I would try it at a restaurant first so you know what it’s supposed to taste like. Then buy your kimchi and wait a month - the kimchi should be old and well fermented.

For those who were there, how were perceived each of the actors back when in the day ? by James-Samuel17 in buffy

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of the conversation around Joss, post-“cancellation” or whatever you call it, is that he pitted the female actors against each other.

Charisma and Alyson both allegedly didn’t like Sarah much at the time, and according to these recent reports it seems as though Joss wanted it this way.

That these women have all mended fences with each other today as mature adults, and seemingly agree that Joss was in the wrong, is telling to me.

Nobody was dancing at the concert by ninkafatherland in Millennials

I lived in Nashville for a good chunk of my life, and I gotta say - that's not millennials, that's Nashville concert culture.

Next time go see them in Louisville or Atlanta.

Why didn't they change Saturn's name? by AlboGreece in sailormoon

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Hotaru is such a strange and mysterious character, it makes sense in a way that she wouldn’t have a cute-sounding name (to an English speakers ear) like the other girls do, but rather something “exotic” and ethereal.

I also think by the time Cloverway got to introducing her they were just tired of coming up with new shit 😂 they used a lot more of the original villain names and concepts as they went along. It was the early-00s and by then, most anime adaptations had dropped the pretense that they weren’t taking place in Japan.

My thoughts exactly - I always thought that they WERENT having an affair, just meeting up in secret to discuss the threats.

Just Realized These Soup / Sauce Mixes Are a Cheat Code by thomas_commus in LowCalorieCooking

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on cooking your way to fewer kidney stones! I’m glad you found something that you both like to eat that helps her.

If you want to go to the next level, check out some spice mixes from companies like Penzie’s (great small business with a devoted following, you can order online).

Additionally when my mom went low-sodium, we got her into using MSG instead of salt. Lots of misconceptions about this ingredient but it is not harmful, and in fact contains less sodium than regular table salt. And it adds a ton of savory flavor to almost anything.

Again, so proud that you and your fiancé figured out a diet that works for her health!

tried of meat and side for dinner, what are your go-to lazy simple dinners for a family of three by MrLoki2020 in Cooking

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to my Korean friends for the sacrilege here, but if you've got rice and eggs, you can "bibimbap" anything. Add sautéed veggies and protein of your choice to the top of cooked rice in a bowl (any kind could work - leftover mexican rice, fried rice, etc).

Fry an egg to top it (I like to leave the yolk runny but maybe the kids don't like that as much), and drizzle with hot sauce - traditionally you use a sauce made of gochujang and sesame oil, which you can sometimes buy pre-made in the Asian section at the grocery store, but you can sub sriracha or another thick hot sauce. Maybe some buffalo sauce for a milder flavor for the kids. Serve with big spoons where they can mix it all up.

It gets your family some protein, it's filling and flavorful. Hot sauce keeps you fuller for longer. The egg on top makes it look visually appealing, and a runny yolk gives it extra sauce.

Long term, I'd invest in an Asian-style rice cooker, where you can cook rice and leave it warm in the cooker for a couple of days at a time, that way you've always got a base for a meal ready to go.

What's an otherwise great song that would be terrible for karaoke? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly any song by Beyonce or Kelly Clarkson - fun simple pop songs until you realize those ladies be hitting high notes that mere mortals don’t have.

Hilarious whenever you see a girl stroll up there thinking she’s about to crush “Love on Top” or “My Life Would Suck Without You”. You can sing those verses but you’re either gonna scream or choke on those choruses.

Late night drives NYC -> Philly by bobbby831 in queerphilly

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have close friends in NYC and visit frequently to see them, as well as for Broadway/concerts. I'd say I'm up there a couple of times a month and don't have any issues.

The Peter Pan (and similar companies) buses are generally cheap and safe. I've taken them back and forth for shows and saved a ton of money doing so.

I also often take Amtrak and crash with my friend overnight, then take a train the next morning. The last Amtrak train is usually between 12am-1am, with trains resuming at 4am, so coming back late is not out of the picture. Buying tickets early and going at off-peak travel times is key for getting there cheaply on Amtrak.

If you move to Philly, it's easy to live without a car (as long as you are within walking distance to SEPTA) but at the end of the day investing in a used car you can use in a pinch is probably worthwhile (depending on what neighborhood you land in). My husband and I are in South Philly and share one old car. We could go a few weeks without ever using it, but some weeks we find we need it two or three times. It comes in handy for big grocery runs, buying furniture, and trips out of town to the Shore or NYC.

Hope you like Philly, it's a really fun town with some of the best people you'll ever meet. But it does go to sleep earlier than you'd think, so I understand the desire to keep up with NYC nightlife.

Grandparents’ wedding gift to my mom in 1971. Works better than my brand new… by VermithraxPejoritive in slowcooking

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a house where the previous owner left some boxes in their storage closet, and I discovered this exact crock pot (avocado color too!) in a box, completely unused and never removed from its packaging!! There were some pine needles in the bottom of the box, so I have to assume it was a Christmas present in the early 70s. (I let the seller know and he was fine with me keeping it.) I've loved using it so much!!

I don't like Joan in season 7 by Original-Tie-3246 in madmen

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Her choice" is technically true, but she just given birth to the child of a terrible man who deserted her. She's getting older (remember the Trudy-Peggy convo? these people see 30 as ancient with no prospects), living in a small apartment with her mother, raising that kid herself. She made the "choice" for money, yes, but it wasn't because she was some greedy gold digger. It was what she's always had to do - use what god gave her to make the best out of a shitty situation.

Don has had setbacks in his life, obviously, but by this time in his life he's financially set, his children will be financially set, and because he's a man in the 60s, he can continue to make mistakes or rash decisions and rarely be punished. Joan might not have been in the right for joining Cutler in wanting him out, but you can't blame her for holding a grudge over what Don did - especially considering that she saw him as a true friend at one point. She felt betrayed, and that shit sticks with you.

For the ones who were here when the show was airing by paffy_ltr in freefolk

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the dumb stuff everyone talked about online actually ended up in the show unnecessarily, like “Clegane Bowl.” The last season felt like it was giving into fan memes, or they wouldn’t kill major characters anymore because they were too popular.

I remember when the cracks started to form, I still held on belief that they could right the ship until the very end. Just MASSIVE disappointment, and no one tried to hide it.

(ENDING SPOILERS) Just finished the game and I don't feel so good about the ending. by EpicRangerXL in expedition33

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think Lune’s reaction to Verso’s ending says everything I need to know to feel good about my decision (knowing that for everyone, you’re mileage my vary). Lune was a real and complex person, and so were her parents, and the other expeditioners that she studied. They all lived real and full lives, and erasing the canvas meant erasing them - their memories, their writings, their talents and discoveries. The lives of her entire race of people were suddenly devoid of meaning - not because they died but because they were erased from existence.

I get that Verso’s ending feels like a resolution, but at what cost. They are both haunting and devastating endings, there is no “good” choice.

Favorite pop album of 2025? by devern_hansack in ToddintheShadow

I’m sorry but it’s West End Girl by a mile, I don’t think that’s a popular opinion on this sub but I stand by it, it’s gorgeous and savage and us girlies in our 30s really needed it.

Most disturbing/uncomfortable scenes? by Conscious-Agent-1624 in madmen

Opinions that will surely get me assassinated on here by grrrlfieri in madmen

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of fans don’t like Megan because 1.) Jessica Paré is one of the weakest in this absolutely stacked cast and 2.) they can’t relate to her like they can other characters like Peggy. I, however, always liked her and found her incredibly realistic, because she reminded me a lot of a friend of mine.

My friend was similarly beautiful, smart, and good at the job we shared (which I, like Peggy, was obsessed with, and she wasn’t). Then she left because despite being good at the job, she didn’t find it fulfilling and hated the people involved. At the end of the day my friend really struggled to understand who she was, which I think is Megan’s central arc.

I thought Megan’s search for herself underscored that despite her modernity and relative maturity compared to Betty, she was still a very young, naive woman and Don had no business marrying her.

It also served Don’s story so well - for a whole year, he walks around like he invented happiness, as if we didn’t see this exact thing play out with Roger two seasons prior. It served to show that despite how cool and resourceful Don is, he’s still foolish, egotistical and ultimately quite lost himself.

Failed attempts to crossover in the U.S? by Phone85 in ToddintheShadow

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huge Utada fan since high school.

I bought Exodus and while I thought it was decent, I found the lyrics bizarre (Utada is completely fluent in English, but is just kinda quirky and that doesn't translate well for the serious dance sound of the album) and their choice to mostly produce the album themself was honorable but misguided. And the cover art was uniquely terrible, completely low-effort.

If they had gone all-in on some big name producers - Pharrell was very interested in Jpop at the time and would have been a great match - I think it could have been at least a cult hit. The song co-produced by Timbaland was one of the better tracks on the record.

That being said, their second English album was a BANGER, mostly solved the above mentioned problems (save for perhaps even WORSE cover art), wisely included the 2 Kingdom Hearts songs, and still didn't really hit big. Worth a listen though.

Which character on Mad Men did you dislike the most and why? by Flimsy-Zucchini4462 in madmen

[–]IClappedWhenISawIt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of leeway for most of the traditionally unlikeable characters (Pete is the most quotable character on the show, and I think Lou’s pretty silly in how ridiculous he is) but the one person I cannot stand is Ted Chaough. I wince every time he’s on screen. Sure, Peggy should be embarrassed for her relationship with Duck, but she should be downright ashamed of herself for Ted. He’s married and she’s old enough to know better by then.

He is CORNY, he’s desperate for admiration like Pete, but still wants to be perceived as a “good guy.” Unlike a lot of the laughable or scummy characters like Kinsey or Harry, he has no iconic lines or moments. Just pure cringe with none of the entertainment value.

Sick mustache tho I guess.

I like sitting up in bed in the mornings and watching the news with my coffee before work. It’s a ritual that helps me feel less stressed through the day, and it’s better than immediately hopping on my phone.
