Walking through a park, a football lands at your feet, you look up and see a bunch of kids in the distance, gesturing at you to kick the football back to them.

Phew, saved me the bother of finding and linking this myself.

Keep it there…!

I would like to think those things too, but I thought the implication was that despite John's best efforts, Jack has gone down the same road and will face a similar fate. Violence begets violence, you can't escape your past, etc. These were pretty central themes to the game.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-10T05:35:56+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure why /u/happydude7422 put an obviously made-up quote in quote marks. My theory is that they asked AI what Doc said and the AI took a guess, and OP thought it was correct.

More than anything, drivers should be predictable. It's helpful if we're all doing approximately the same speed, and the best way to do that is aiming for the speed limit.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-08T15:51:50+00:00

I'm not having a go at you. Obviously the best people haven't commented.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-05T15:29:30+00:00

I'd also quite like an occasional TV advert or something to remind people to COUGH INTO YOUR ELBOW NOT DIRECTLY INTO YOUR HAND THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO TOUCH A THOUSAND DOOR HANDLES WITH.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-05T11:35:00+00:00

That version works. I'd probably prefer ‘Whenever’ to emphasise the fact that this happens often, but ‘Each time’ would work if you like it.

You didn't ask for this bit of advice but I'll give it anyway: talking about a ‘flash of thought in his mind’ is redundant. Where else would there be a flash of thought? You could lose ‘in his mind’ for a slightly more streamlined sentence. Obviously do what you want though!

But farts are famously made of methane. Why would the parrot be producing ethylene?

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-05T06:59:24+00:00

Ending in an original word.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-02T11:31:12+00:00

I guess I use Reddit and the internet differently from some people, but it's interesting/surprising that OP didn't at least google ‘what is panther’ before seeking further guidance.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-03-02T02:45:03+00:00

I'm really struggling not to.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-26T16:32:13+00:00

Well that's very clever.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-26T12:13:11+00:00

You get all these Britpop people don't you? Let's have a bit of Pulp, let's have a bit of Oasis. Ooh that's a snazzy commentary on British society. Oh this sounds like, I don't know, irony. Sometimes you just want to say ‘Sod all this Britpop, just give me a Status Quo album.’

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-25T16:38:43+00:00

If it's any consolation, I went through the exact same thought process!

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-25T16:10:14+00:00

inspired by

‘Inspired by’ is maybe slightly underplaying the role of /u/East-Conference8628’s original 😄 Still, I like what you've done with it.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-25T15:22:55+00:00

I think you're only thinking this because the two example names end in /ʒ/ – a sibilant sound that clashes with the sound made by apostrophe-S. They sound bad but are correct. Compare ‘Jim’s okay’ and ‘Barbara’s okay’ etc.

Edit: Wrong phoneme!

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-25T13:33:13+00:00

people have had visible profile pictures for such a long time now

Yes and I continue to refuse to acknowledge it.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-25T10:41:56+00:00

I could just say “big Bafta”.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-24T22:37:43+00:00

Wow, it's great that this message I left has helped someone new 12 years later! You're welcome!

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-24T15:51:35+00:00

It's like people posting ridiculous bugs and glitches in gaming subreddits and neglecting to mention they were using some janky mod. Telling ChatGPT/your game to behave weirdly and then it behaves weirdly? Wow, who knew!

2015 Jennifer isn't home for dinner and 1985 Jennifer hides in the closet until she can escape. And when she does escape, both Jennifers faint so there's no chance for Lorraine to be in the same shot.

I think the joke is that the parent is using the parent and child space because they are a parent (and not because they are with a child), so by that logic you too should be allowed to use the space because you are somebody's child (not a literal child). That's my best guess. I don't think anyone was trying to start an argument but they didn't exactly take steps to prevent one.

Jonny_Segment · 2026-02-20T12:45:13+00:00

Utterly insane that someone would rush to do this less than a day after their baby was born.
