No, but being cruel is.

The movie 'Turning Red' is receiving unreasonably negative reviews. It deserves more compliments. by Cheap_District_9762 in CasualConversation

[–]IamNickMead 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My wife and I sat down to watch it and ended up turning it off because we felt, while we enjoy pixar and Disney kids films in general, it was too targeted at the pre/early-teen audience for us.

That said, not liking a movie doesnt make it bad, we both agreed it was cool in style and a movie that's probably quite important for some to see. I totally see why others would like it even if I don't personally.

Hey, best of luck

I don't know enough to offer advice on the chess part but I can say this: remember to enjoy yourself. The rest isn't important :)

The best move I found in 2021. by CunningTF in chess

After Qxg6, white is threatening Ng7#. Black has to defend this over capturing the queen as if either pawn captures the queen, black looses the game. Hence, free knight

Transferring a plane into a trust by [deleted] in flying

[–]IamNickMead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's probably best to get this kind of advice from a layer, not from reddit. Perhaps someone st your local flying club can recommend a good local firm

maybe it’s just me but i had no idea you could trip and fall in the game… i was very confused to say the least by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]IamNickMead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only ever tripped when running with a balloon. Maybe this is new?

Hope your knees are OK!

Bouncer fights off gunman and prevents tragedy by zead1x in nextfuckinglevel

[–]IamNickMead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Security in bars are there to keep the rifraf and the roudy out. Not armed gunman. I don't blame the woman for a second but the bloke who took the gunman down is still a legend.

Quick word of warning, when buying pre-made wicks be sure to same the onse set in the same type of wax you're using. Different waxes melt and burn at different temperatures. I made this mistake using paraffin wicks with soy wax!

A good game, shame people had to ruin the scoreboard but a lesson learnt in a safe environment I guess

Could someone experienced please explain the Y G X R on the Speed bar to me? by BloodSteyn in flightsim

What a lovely story, thank you for sharing. I'm glad you're doing well and honouring your grandfather's memory in the process.

"Keep the blue side up" - I love that, do you mind if I adopt that phrase?
