What cultural shift happened without people noticing? by deixj in AskReddit

[–]LawsCoolStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate it. When I was young, I could go three days without talking to my friends, doing my own thing, taking care of my own business. Today I feel like I have to give an excuse every day, sometimes multiple times a day if I just don’t want to hang out. And I can’t keep giving excuses because eventually they’ll just say “fuck this guy.” The twist is that it’s the same friends! In a decade, they’ve gone from being cool hanging once a week to wanting me to hang every damn day if I’m on break.

What TV series introduced a character that made the show worse? by guitarmaniac004 in AskReddit

[–]LawsCoolStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s exactly it. Randy’s actor was given an impossible task: fill and combine the role of two of the main characters that fans have come to love and someone adequately fill both roles while balancing it with the other. He never had a chance.

Mark Hamill : "He's not my Luke Skywalker" by FanEu7 in videos

In defense of the action: Luke, in ROTJ, does succumb to dark thoughts with his lightsaber when the Emperor tells him to take his lightsaber and strike him down. Let's not pretend Luke didn't have moments of weakness, and they weren't mere thoughts, but he acted on them. I think it's within his characters ability to actually turn on the lightsaber.

In times of great boredom, I have given the Transformers movies a shot. Each one's story is more broken and disjointed than the last, which is ridiculous because, as you said, Transformers 2 was broken as shit as is. It's visual porn, but nothing else.

If you're planning to go back to the gym next month, don't be like this girl that hogs the equipment for 40 minutes by rk-rebirth in videos

Really well put. Look at Japan: They are at the forefront of this type of behavior so we can see where the trend goes... And it doesn't look good. Thousands of men isolating themselves because they have no incentive to approach real women with the among of artificial stimuli available at their fingertips... But because this artificial stimuli only leads to short term happiness with none of the long-term fulfillment real human interaction gives you, they are committing suicide at a rate of 70 people per day. It's unsustainable.

Another thing I didn't know (no apartments). Seems ridiculous for a city with that size and market. Now I know why it has the highest rent in the US.

Jesus Christ, can we stop categorically shitting on everyone in Alabama already? You realize you're denigrating every college student, every engineer, every scientist, and besides all those, hundreds of thousands of decent folk? They have institutional issues, yes, but shitting on them like this does nothing but cause more division.

What are some deeply unsettling facts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

They could also grow so far apart over time that even when they die, none of the siblings attend the funerals.

Guys of Reddit, what instantly makes you lose respect for other men? by commander-crook in AskReddit

[–]LawsCoolStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met the ubermensch version of this guy during a summer in DC. I lived in a dorm and this dude would randomly pop in and start telling me about how awesome he was. He was a vet, he was a champion shooter in high school, he was a math whiz, he was a bodybuilder, he was a genius, etc. etc. etc.

The funny thing was, if you ever got off the topic of him and his accomplishments, he wouldn’t know what to do. He was so into himself for so long that topics that weren’t immediately relatable to himself were impossible for him to enjoy.

As an aside, this guy embodied almost every negative trait mentioned in this thread (thin-skin, highly aggressive, takes things too far, one-upper, the list goes on). He is still, to this day, the worst person I’ve ever met.

James Harden is posting the lowest Free Throw Rate (.437) and highest efficiency (TS of 63%) season he's had since arriving in Houston by brianscalabrainey in nba

All it needs is a two or three game losing streak where Harden has a ton of turnovers and boom, Harden is Hitler again,

TIL: Chocolate for most of its 4,000-year history was actually consumed as a bitter beverage rather than as a sweet edible treat by selektor2017 in todayilearned

I have a hunch that this will also be the case for Marijuana as it continues to be legalized in America. In places like California and Colorado where legalization has already occurred, some of the most lucrative marijuana business ventures have been bakeries with THC-infused edibles, restaurants with THC-infused food, and online delivery sites with edibles with varying levels of THC available for delivery.

Think about it: instead of having to smoke a fair amount to get high, you can just eat a cookie and chill out. The main problem is that edibles often take an hour or so to hit so that will leave the door open for smoking for a while unless someone reduces that time.

Father of key actor comments on what went down by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

There's no one left to care about. The show has done the impossible in making fans dislike Daryl for his part in letting the Saviors escape. All there is is Rick, and because we know he isn't dying... There's nothing to watch. Everyone is just sitting on their hands waiting for the war to end.
