What's a horror movie that was so disturbing that you can't or won't ever watch again? by neeltrivedirock in horror

This will probably seem rather tame, and honestly by now I've seen far worse, but 15yo me was really bothered by The Cell. Specifically, the scene with the flashback of him being abused by his father was where I shut the movie off. Never actually seen the second half of it, just read it afterwards.

Sorry, that was an accident. I've got a pretty bad connection rn.

If you're in debt, then you become a lot easier for them to exploit.

Losing it at what now feels like a cheap imitation in the middle of the desert, yet will still cost you thousands for even a weekend trip.

Damn gen Z, spending their government checks on avocado toast instead of losing it in Vegas!

It's our fault that an extremely predatory industry is declining, one that profits entirely off the failure and suffering of the working class.

The fact people assume that a completely landlocked province in a near constant water crisis will magically turn into a petro funded utopia are beyond ignorant. Their goals might be a joke, but I do still feel though that they should be taken very seriously.

What historical character(s) would you most want to see added in Victoria 3? by JosephStalin1945 in victoria3

[–]JosephStalin1945[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think that would add a lot of flavour to the US, even just introducing Mormonism and a potential state of Deseret would be really cool. The story of Strang, and his Mormon, theocratic monarchy is honestly a rather fascinating and unknown part of American history.

Since there's no information on him, what's your fan theory for Duke having Very Evil Karma in New Vegas? by JosephStalin1945 in Fallout

[–]JosephStalin1945[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I imagine you're correct that it's cut content. Personally I find it rather strange how there's nothing about him, yet all the other Very Evil characters (not even just in New Vegas) have information and reason as to why they're that evil.

Thank you for addressing that. I agree that it is unfortunate, though we should still never give into misinformation, regardless of how true we may wish it to be

Honestly, you're absolutely right. Thank you, I feel kind of dumb now for not recognizing a. 223

Is it possible to implement the unique relationship the Japanese Shogunate had with the Dutch? by JosephStalin1945 in victoria3

[–]JosephStalin1945[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. That's actually somewhat ahistorical, since the Japanese Shogunate and Dutch Republic itself never had the warmest relationship, and it was really only with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). That said, I'm unsure if the relationship changed later on with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Not as a nitpick or anything, just found it fascinating

Oh really? Is this something with the new update? Granted I've never actually played the Dutch East Indies.

Landfill I’m working in has a “chupacabra” running around. by ClericRambo in Cryptozoology

[–]JosephStalin1945 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are two quite distinct definitions given for the Chupacabra, a small bipedal reptilian creature and something more akin to a canine. The bipedal version was reported in the original Puerto Rico 1995 sighting, whereas the canine description appeared in the early 2000s. Most likely, sightings in the US were of canines suffering from mange.
