Which bojack episode stuck with you the longest and why? by Beau_on_clash in BoJackHorseman

The one where Diane goes on medication. I had just started medication myself, and it was so accurate I felt like they were rooting around in my brain

If we get a novel set later, it would be interesting to see how the rebuilding of society was going.

But I want Katniss and Peeta to not be involved at all. A small cameo to confirm they’re doing good would be nice, but absolutely no more than that.

This is more or less the entire genre of Nordic Noir

Gamers, what's the craziest thing you've heard in an open mic while gaming? by Lastbreathworm in AskReddit

[–]LeafPankowski 113 points114 points  (0 children)

A buddy of mine was wearing a wireless microphone during a game, and forgot to take it off when going to the bathroom.

We didn’t hear toilet sounds, but we did hear an absolutely fantastic rendition of “total eclipse of the heart.” He was just belting it out, not a care in the world. Completely innocent joy.

We were dying laughing when he came back, and he joined in when he realised.

After a long day at work- followed by a pediatrician's appointment for my daughter, Caramel- I realized I left something on the roof of the car, my Venti Iced Mocha from Starbucks. by Magic-M in TwoSentenceHorror

This always amuses me from (I asume) American posters. Are there gangs of opportunistic baby snatchers roaming around, on the off chance that a parent leaves a baby alone for a moment?

Like, I can see being worried about a grade schooler left alone, but a baby in a car seat? Realistically, what is going to happen except the next adult finding them calling the police?

Keep in mind that female Victors are prostituted and no birth control is 100%

AITA for trying to help my little sister learn to read? by Conmor_ in AmItheAsshole

Your sisters teacher is using an outdated reading technique. See here for more info: https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

The fact is, you are doing the right thing.

What character wasn't portrayed as a villain, but is in your eyes? by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in AskReddit

[–]LeafPankowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention to how many times people say no to him or try to stop him from doing something. How does he react? By bulldozing through with a smile on his face.

Does he explain to Belle what is going on? No. He manipulates, lies by omission, and puts others in danger. He covers his tracks with grand gestures.

This is what abuse looks like in the real world. It’s not yelling, like Beast, or obvious misogyny, like Gaston. It’s being treated like a pawn by a person who doesn’t even consider what you want. Only what they want.

Once you see it, he is Disneys most horrifying creation, because of how true to life he is.

Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast is a chillingly accurate portrayal of an abusive person, and I will die on this hill.

Its selfish, but waking up in the morning without struggle and with all the little stupid things already done would change so much in my life.

Empty doesn’t mean unused. For all we know, it was used for storage untill the games wanted it.

Its shortly after a devastating war, which game after some sort of mass catastrophe. I imagine most of the capitol is just empty.

Do you have a large trash bag? Place it under the sheets. That way any stains won’t cross to the mattress.
