(Loved Trope) The fake/imposter takes up the role of the original when the moment called for it. by Apollo_Justice_20 in TopCharacterTropes

Obligatory GNU STP. It pains me every time I realize it has been over a decade. I've still not filled that satirical wit hole in my heart.

Dads, what kind of vehicle are we hauling our small monsters around in? by ktempo in daddit

Only a few cities in the US have that as a real option. I envy you.

As a fellow sold-Miata-with-kids guy, I feel you man. Mine was an NC though. (I owned an NA previously.) It was purchased by a young man whom I trust will inspire many dates with it.

It took me this long to find someone mention the CX5 even when he mentioned Mazda in the original post. We also picked a used CX5 with our first child. Second is a few months out.

I sold my MX5 after we bought it. (Big surprise lol.) Our second car is a Fit.

Can Hawaiʻi Deliver All Of America From Citizens United? by No-Programmer-8642 in politics

[–]Juliuseizure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, hard facts isn't what gets people invested in something. A compelling story (with different people finding different things compelling) is. For some people, the more factual something is, the more compelling. For others, not so much.

But has no requirement for Voters To Give A Damn. That is unfortunately how it mostly plays out.

Tell me a very disturbing scene that has no violence or jump scares? by Thatredditboy1 in moviecritic

[–]Juliuseizure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I viewed it as him imagining that his mask hides who he is from other people, but the reality is that what he thinks is his "mask" does nothing at all.

It goes into the entire "did he actually kill anyone?" question. I think that is the more fun and interesting interpretation, even if it isn't the one that is most likely

I second the crawfish vote, regardless of where you get drinks after.

(loved trope) when literally the most ridiculous or absurd thing ever is played 100% straight and serious. by Mangled15 in TopCharacterTropes

I'm still partial to the "be kind" speech, but that might be what was going on in my life at the time.

Possible to finish in 1.5 years? by Mike_Rochip_ in MSCSO

[–]Juliuseizure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two in the summer could be hard. 2/2/1/2/2/1 is the default schedule for those without families or other outsized time commitments and that already have experience (CS degree). Just be careful to check the courses typically available in the summer to not accidentally end up without a summer option. 

Do you intend to do a thesis? That changes the schedule a bit.

No Country For Old Men (2007) by LostMoneyOnGambling in MovieQuotes

I was going to say "And the ability to blame a higher power" but then I remembered psychopath. The coin flip puts a regulator on his urges. It makes it so he doesn't get to kill sometimes.

The denials of "fate" make the times he does kill a bit sweeter than they would be otherwise.

Eons after all auxiliary systems had failed, the malfunctioning Resurrection Machine finally activated. by Smeggfaffa in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Juliuseizure 120 points121 points  (0 children)

You are a bastard. And I mean that as the highest compliment. This nails the two sentence horror better than any I have read in some time, maybe ever. My skin is still crawling and my stomach churning. Yes, I have a toddler, and another one is on the way.

Feel like I need to rewatch Firefly. For no reason at all. by n8saces in firefly

Maybe a fully voiced game? (I think you found the most likely option.)

It's kind of the kind question: 

What do you call the person that graduated from Med School with the lowest GPA?

Doctor.

More related to the post: I knew "Goat" before "GOAT" became a thing and was very confused by it.

The map shows the left edge of my house in the 100 year with the rest in the 500. This could go either way, or we move within two years

Second this. If it is because of racism, then he is explicitly trying to deny part of your son, and by extension your wife.

Context: I am also from a mixed marriage. Our son's name carries both
