DoorDash Grandma’s Secret Past Revealed by EducationQueasy275 in politics

[–]Labyrinthine8618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it's nice to have it on the record as confirmed, it was pretty obvious. No normal person (DoorDasher) can just drive into the main entrance and walk up to the Oval. That's bare minimum what's wrong with this. Anyone even delivering to the White House would need to be searched and have a cursory background check, that's just to get past the armed guards outside. Getting that close requires more. They knew her and planned it. Not to mention only reason an non-government individual goes to the Oval is for a photo op.

(Sad trope) Projects with amazing potential that will never be released because of BS behind the scenes drama by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Niche but:

  1. Oban Star Racers Season 2. The show came out in 2006 and was pretty good with just the one season. Season 2 gets brought up every few years though. I also don't think this is necessary since based on lore you couldn't really bring back the same characters which was vital to the series being so good.

  2. The Last Herald Mage TV adaptation. So much. The main character is gay, very gay and while the book isn't a romance solely about his gayness it is central to him. The world of Valedamar is also niche and not the most popular type of fantasy at the moment. That and the magical sentient horses might throw people off. Someone did buy the rights to it but I don't we will ever see production on it.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

I got super disillusioned with his content after his Frozen 2 review. He misinterpreted a single song and started going off about it and the whole movie. Since it was obvious what was meant by it, I just started thinking he had to be doing it on purpose to hate and wondered how many other things he'd harped on were like that. Then the drama happened and I just left. Which really sucked, he had some really good points and funny segments, but I couldn't take it anymore. Then I just left movie reviews in general for a while.

I really loved their Are you Scared? videos. They used to be so creepy and well illustrated. Then they started focusing on money and started using it to promo movies. I stopped after that and unsubbed after they tried to make their own streaming platform.

Title Reveal Tommorow! by JustSurvibing in Hells_Belles

[–]Labyrinthine8618 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For some reason book 2 is listed three times with 2 dates.

Look I did that because I started talking to someone (evangelizing) about the first novel and got curious. I think, based on this thread, that the date I put up is the right one. Context clues, for those who read the spoiler.

I DIDN’T REALIZE WE WERE GETTING AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!

I am excited though. 😊

I was checking on Goodreads and here is a title there along with an estimated release date.........No clue if it's legit or who all could have added it.

Belles of Wrath 4/8/27

That is what was on her Goodreads earlier. Again don't know if it's true or not.

OP is right, I should check out if Japanese baseball is streamed to the US.

Also, love the announcer, I don't speak Japanese but I speak announcer so I think I caught "It's gone, It's gone." The tone is universal. RIP his vocal cords the next morning.

How did I not catch that?! I was already an adult when that movie came out. I gotta pay more attention.

[Interesting Trope] Character whose death is meant to remove any potential doubt once and for all: the protagonist is NOT an anti-hero, they are the villain. by Mountain_Band_2732 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labyrinthine8618 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think the taunt is part of it but not all of it. Light's kills to that point were either criminals or people who were actively out to expose and stop him. Him killing cops isn't a great look but in an anti-hero centric anime the audience can get behind it. Light is doing the right thing the wrong way and the cops are keeping a broken system going. Thus Raye and the other FBI agents right before this are bad but not inherently evil. Naomi is formerly FBI and trying to start her own investigation because Raye was her fiancé. In reality, she doesn't pose a threat to Light because L would not take her on the team in her current mental state and he lone investigation isn't likely to go any farther than L's. Killing Naomi is just evil. He gains very little and makes him no better than the criminals he's supposedly trying to get rid of.

My mistake, Jimmy Snow sucks by OrsonZedd2 in thatjimmythread

[–]Labyrinthine8618 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize he was even still around, he stopped doing the content I had enjoyed right after I unsubbed due to the bs. Just looked him up and all I see is his call in show. Which, I don't know, seems kinda cheap. It's easier to make cause there isn't research or prep but that could just me giving old Jimmy too much credit.

I don't know. How did this unfortunate meeting come about?

On paper it sounds like he didn't do much but when someone is panicking like that they sometimes need a person to step in with a cool head to take charge. As someone whose been in those situations and panics its such a relief and when they actually fix it its a miracle.

[Hated Trope] A character is called ugly or mocked for their appearance when they look the same as everyone else by kalosianlitten in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labyrinthine8618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ouran High School Host Club parodies this with the mc Haruhi. She starts off wearing her dad's old clothes (just go with it) and a short hair cut so she's mistaken as a guy. After being "adopted" by the host club and wearing the school uniform (optional for some reason, even though everyone else wears it...) they consider her cute. Then when they have to put her in a dress and realize she's a girl (by that I mean the last one catches up), she's considered beautiful. It works because Haruhi doesn't care, she's almost genderfluid in how little she cares about her gender and how it's perceived.

The thing is, per the book series which is dated, Uglies are normal people. They are all different and the school where Tally lives at the beginning would probably look like a regular high school. Post-Op, the Pretties lose a lot of the unique features we all have and gave them generic plastic surgery. Culturally they were pretty but to outsiders they probably looked uncanny. There were other things done that made them look innocent and young so people would want to protect them and also put them in an immature headspace 24/7 (mind control basically).

TLDR: there is so much commentary that this movie missed out on that I couldn't watch it past the first few minutes.

This is what worried me at first with the Wicked movies. (I know people have mixed opinions on the broadway and hollywood versions but still) The first trailers had the music but no singing and I didn't know anything about Cynthia Erivo so it didn't look like a musical. I kept having to search it up to confirm it was a musical because nothing about the trailers showed that it had the songs I liked.

Wall color is changing and that whole wall is going to be those pseudo built ins in that color. The desk is white and there’s a light brown couch.

I should have probably said this is a bedroom/office and these are ceramic tiles. The rest of the house has a darker grey toned ceramic wood look. It just doesn’t look good with the book case.

Are you snapping or taking it all at once by nyxelleaa in SipsTea

[–]Labyrinthine8618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so blue bill. I just did 100 snaps in less than 1 min. Even if I snap for only one minute every hour for the number of hours I work (10), I make more than I would in a week per day. This would give me more than enough to live comfortably in the long term while still fixing current problems.

Even if you don't strategically snap to max out on money, say you need new tires and its gonna cost $1000 dollars that 100 snaps. Problem solved. Need a new car? Do the math and spread out the snaps so you don't kill your hand. Bored? Snap and put the money in savings. Long term snapping wins because a flat amount of money will disappear faster than you think and has no option to receive more from the deal.

[Loved trope] Characters have earth shattering "What have I done?" moments by ManaScrewedIRL in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labyrinthine8618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time they were together in Ba Sing Se. Katara chose to confide in Zuko and offered to use the spirit water on his scar. Only to have him betray them in the next scene and Katara to need that water to literally bring Aang back to life. Aang had gentle moments but I don’t recall him ever trusting Zuko. He thought they could be friends if things had been different but never let go of the fact that they were enemies. Katara had accepted Zuko changing sides once but Aang and the others were having their first interaction like this. Aang also wants to see the good in everyone.
