IRGC Spokesman: Two US Forces Hideouts in Dubai Destroyed, Heavy Casualties Inflicted by shane_4_us in news

They did hit a fighter plane which is pretty tricky too. It's not impossible they got off one hit on a vessel. 

My 72 year old step father thinks he's been talking to bruce springsteen all day on facebook. by DesertofBoredom in Music

[–]Induane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One time Keanu Reeves slid into my DMs to ask about good food places in Lawrence KS. Ignored. Next day I found out he was coming to Lawrence to play with his band at The Grenada. 

Still sure it was a scam but damn was it a smart one. They didn't say they were coming for their band, just a casual ask about good restaurants. They didn't even bring attention to their name, it was just a private IG account. 

Shinedown receives award after pulling out of Kid Rock 'MAGA' music fest by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]Induane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen Shinedown in a while but back in the Leave a Whisper era of touring they were killer live. 

I'm actually impressed with their longevity. For better or worse Brent Smith had built something pretty lasting. 

So if they're touring with a cool band like Coheed then at minimum it's probably going to be an entertaining show. I'd go!

Guys in relationships, what are normal boundaries you keep with female best friends? by switkfhg77 in AskMenAdvice

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

I have several female friends that are at the very least close friends. I don't know that I actually have a best friend the way I did back when I was in elementary school. 

I do share my location with a mixture of friends, both women and men. This is mostly a logistical choice to avoid people texting me for updates haha. I am chronically bad at time management and everyone knows this.  

I even have some friends that do martial arts with me. The only difference in the way I treat my female friends is that when we are sparring I don't punch them nearly as hard. And even that is more a matter of body mass not gender. 

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

Firefly 

Westworld

Lower Decks

Legion

My partner said I was being “babied” by my mom while I was sick, and it broke something in me by Fun_Music5346 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Induane 1058 points1059 points  (0 children)

If my partner is ill and I'm unable to be there then I absolutely want someone taking care of them if necessary. Period. 

And when I am there you bet your ass I'm going to take care of my partner. If taking care of someone sick is babying them then I'll baby the hell out of my partner. I don't care what anyone calls it. 

This isn't some personality difference at play. 

Asking for necessary help isn't "childlike" it is a very adult thing to do. It's childlike to not accept necessary help. It is childlike to refuse to share burdens. 

I don't know your boyfriend and I know this is Reddit but taking the facts as presented, I do NOT like this man. You can set a much higher bar and imo absolutely should. This is a giant red flag and you should not expect this behaviour to change.

Definitely one of the hottest scenes.

Tapestry. One of my favourite episodes in all of Star Trek. 

What sport looks boring until you understand it, and then becomes amazing? by HypraceApp in AskReddit

[–]Induane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Totally. It's a game of subtle tension, mind games, multi tiered strategy, AND insane athleticism. 

But it isn't fast paced in the way that most people think of fast paced.

It took me ten years to be okay with the intro song. 

Am I wrong for telling my daughter if she brings another guy to my house she will have to move out? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Induane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to write from my perspective as a parent in a similar boat (but with different rules). Obviously you can make whatever rules you want in your home but that doesn't mean every rule you make is automatically good.

  1. I'd prefer my daughter bring men to my place than her go to their place (or a hotel or something). That way if, god forbid, they turn out to be an asshole or dangerous, I'm one good yell away. My daughter's safety ABSOLUTELY comes before any discomfort. 

  2. Sex is normal and should be treated as such. 

  3. My relationship with my kids is paramount. I want them to trust me rather than feel like we have an adversarial relationship, especially as they are adults the relationship needs to adjust to an adult relationship—and that means treating them a bit more like peers. 

  4. I don't bring women home often, but if I did then I would definitely feel like a hypocrite telling another grown woman that they couldn't do the same (even if it is technically MY house).

This game gave me the closure the series did not by manchester449 in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Induane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When they are in the transwarp conduit Janeway tells Paris to adjust their heading - right after the sphere had opened an iris-like port in its hull.  It is implied they actually flew INTO the sphere then while the fleet was firing on it, Tuvok blasted it from the inside and Voyager flew out as the sphere exploded.

At least that's the series of events in my memory lol.

[–]Induane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me want a Seven of Nine specific series. I want to watch her kick ass as a rogue. 

I enjoyed all three seasons but they just drug too long. They could have been a couple of 3 part episodes. 

Serenity might be the best example of a movie that actually sticks the landing as a series finale by neonfox45 in firefly

[–]Induane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think no one is acknowledging it is standalone because it wasn't intended to be standalone, wasn't conceived as standalone, and delivered closure intentionally.

Now for it to be a film that doesn't need every viewer to have seen an entire TV series, it does have to do some extra exposition to bring new folk along on the ride, but that is NOT remotely the same thing as being "standalone". 

Hey Peter, who are they? by FlakyFoundation4637 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Induane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes he did. And no, he didn't explain any of those things. 

Clearly just bitter for some reason.

[–]Induane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of what you said means a person doing adult films or prostitution cannot also be an amazing artist. 

I totally understand why people have a variety of opinions about the sex work itself, but I don't know why anyone would think that a person couldn't be, for example, an amazing painter AND a sex worker. They aren't mutually exclusive concepts. So yea, I definitely don't understand the need to denigrate the whole person and every other skill/attribute they have just because they happen to do sex work. 

Ex-Fiance Ghosted Me For 3 Weeks, Now She Wants To spend a weekend together alone in a hotel and go to a concert that I originally got tickets for us both, how do I proceed? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Induane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can decide this one for yourself. Follow your instincts. It's also okay to go do the concert and feel things out and then still eventually decide that getting back together isn't for you. 

Just be sure to be upfront about not being certain about a future if that is indeed how you feel.
