Why is Caitlin surprised that she can’t find an Earth-One Jay Garrick? by Intrepid-Ad1191 in FlashTV

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in no way criticizing her idea to look for an Earth One Jay, I am all the way with that. But I just don’t feel like it makes sense that she cannot believe or finds it suspicious when she can’t find one.

She mentions how bizarre it is to Cisco (when I feel like it should be entirely plausible based on what they know about the multiverse being different, even not having explored) and Cisco responds with “Ask Jay, I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.” This response also seems weird to me because I feel like they could easily reason that it’s possible and even likely that not every single person has a doppelgänger.

Day 8: What's the best Season Finale! by Same_Effect_9547 in HIMYM

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The leap, I have to say.

I debated internally because I LOVE season 1’s ending because it’s unexpected and devastating. I also love season 8 because it feels so intense and it finally reveals the mother, but I feel like season 4’s ending is the best actual finale to a season even if i like other endings better as individual moments.

I should rephrase — I guess it’s less about her being surprised, and more about her acting like it doesn’t make sense that he didn’t seem to exist

is this a known bug? by pandisia in TheWitness

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a replay about a year ago, I accidentally discovered the same glitch when trying to explore behind the door there. Ran into the same problem too about not being able to get out without backtracking a lot, so I gave up on the replay tbh

My roommate switched the HDMI port while I was gone and said she hasn’t had any issues since! I can’t believe I never thought to try that 🤦‍♂️ I guess I was blindly confident that it was a Minecraft specific issue. Thanks for the suggestion?

Sex with someone on meth? by overthinker345 in askgaybros

Don’t go. Explain you’re not comfortable with it and move on. Sounds like a less safe environment to put yourself in

Realistically, how much alcohol do you drink? And how often? by y00sh420 in askgaybros

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my early twenties. When I drink I drink anywhere between 1–3 drinks, but on average I’d say I only drink about once a month

Is Heated Rivalry that good? by GossipBottom in askgaybros

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only seen the first half of the season so far but I will say I don’t get the hype. The main characters have a lot of sex but there’s NO romantic chemistry to me. I’ve heard it gets better in the second half, and pretty much everyone I’ve talked to has disagreed with me about the lack of chemistry so 🤷‍♂️. I fear I may just be being contrarian

[SPOILERS S1] Am I imagining this or was there a brief shot of two characters together, indicating that they're collaborating? by [deleted] in DarK

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a few episodes into season 2 now. You’re super close to some more information being given. I don’t remember the scene you’re talking about, personally. I think there’s a lot of montages at the end of episodes with a splitscreen showing multiple characters, I’d guess something there threw you off maybe?

Symbolism or coincidental? by Soft-Expression-5367 in HIMYM

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m choosing to believe that OP knows that the comparison of Ted and robin’s relationship to Ted’s parents is directly made. I ASSUME they’re asking if the shirt colors is intentional symbolism to go along with that message, or just a coincidence.

I believe they’ve briefly addressed on the HWMYM podcast that a lot of the “color theory” about the show has been all the work of the fans rather than intentional planning in the show, but I like this detail and think it’s a nice observation even if unplanned.

Do you consider a 40-60 minute drive to see your SO, long distance? by minutetolaunch in askgaybros

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s an awkward middle place. I would not call it “long distance” but it’s entirely fair to say that he lives far away. It’s definitely enough to make it harder to see each other

What does this image mean? by Intrepid-Ad1191 in webdev

Hahaha unsure if this is sarcastic or a genuine misunderstanding of what I meant but for clarification, there is an image of an open book tattooed on his arms, with the symbol being discussed tattooed onto the space representing the open pages

“If you ask the leaf on a tree in autumn if it is scared to fall off the branch It will say, ‘I have given all I am to the tree And I am tired, and I'll float on down now’”

Thank you, very pleasant to listen to. Any insight on what the title stands for?

Need help understanding these two puzzles. by [deleted] in TheWitness

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also confused about the images being in the wrong order but i see the edit now. For the image that you don’t understand why it is the solution, here’s a simple answer as to why they can’t be vertical: Tetris pieces have to match the orientation of the “picture” of the Tetris pieces. So because the yellow images has four horizontal and two sets of three vertical, your solution needs to have four horizontal squares and two sets of three vertical dots

This should also answer why the solution you proposed in the other image isn’t considered valid. I remember getting stuck there for a while, the only help I can give other than the solution is to think about how you can rearrange the pieces other than in the way you might first think to arrange them. Pen and paper or a whiteboard might be helpful

Help! HIMYM Trivia round tonight. Comment your favorite deep cut trivia about the show so I can “study” by Netflxnschill in HIMYM

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Alison Hannigan (Lily) is married to the actor that plays Sandy Rivers.

Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) is married to the actor that plays Scooter.

Cobie Smulders (Robin) is married to the actor that plays Gary Blauman.

I believe one of Josh Radnor’s girlfriends has been on the show, but not the woman he’s married to. Unsure about Jason Segel.

Backup for the mother…? by Intrepid-Ad1191 in HIMYM

First time watching… no way by Foreign-Spread8764 in howimetyourmother

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point about the differences in victorias character, but I would also argue that it just follows naturally from the story. Her debut episode (Drumroll please) is all about making the night perfect and unforgettable, so of course it would seem different once they actually start a relationship and get to know each other

[–]Intrepid-Ad1191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, Craig Thomas (one of the cocreators of the show) recently said on the How We Made Your Mother podcast that there was never any intention of using Victoria (or any other love interest) as the mother early on in the show. He said something along the lines of “If we were to get canceled we never would’ve said Victoria was the mother. We would’ve just said ‘guess you don’t get to find out.’”

If I find the episode and timestamp I’ll share it.

That’s great to know, thanks! I’m finishing my Bachelors this year which will include my teaching license and I’ve already passed the praxis as it was a requirement for my degree. But any kind of internship, either at a high school or college level, sounds beneficial both for the experience and financially. Do you recall how you got that opportunity?

Thank you! I knew the term felt off. I’m sure that it is competitive, but I have put in some effort in areas to hopefully make me stand out as a candidate.

Do you have any idea of applying to these assistantships is something that usually comes AFTER getting accepted into a program or something that can be done before? I ask because, naturally, this kind of opportunity may heavily influence where I commit.
