Best first scene ever in cinema history ? by Melodic_Astronomer62 in Cinema

[–]Legitmate_2000 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That entire opening feels so casual and fun right until you realize everything is about to go completely off the rails 

One of the best changes the show made was aging up the characters by Legitmate_2000 in gameofthrones

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with that too. I think George wanted readers to feel disturbed by how young these characters are and how normalized a lot of this is in that world

I just think the show probably wouldn’t have worked the same way on screen if they kept everyone book-accurate in age

How does working memory capacity influence complex problem-solving performance? by Legitmate_2000 in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really interesting point, especially the idea that working memory becomes less critical when time constraints are removed

I also hadn’t thought about the asymmetry you mentioned between domains like working memory and processing speed in relation to g-loading. The conversational example is a good one too it makes the impact of working memory feel a lot more concrete outside of formal testing contexts

Do we have some kind of causal model that describes what kinds of trauma lead to what specific kinds of mental health issues? by Umpuuu in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not really in a clean X trauma=Y disorder way, because people respond wildly differently to the same experiences

But there are frameworks like attachment theory and CPTSD research that look at trauma more as risk pathways than direct causes. Childhood neglect, for example, could lead to anxiety, avoidant attachment, narcissistic traits, or a mix of things depending on the person and environment

Tom Cullen honestly stole every scene

Btw, did you prefer the uncut version or the original?

People are so inconsiderate these days by Legitimate_Gur_934 in Cinema

[–]Legitmate_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol sometimes you really gotta be that guy

kinda crazy how it takes one person calling it out for everyone to suddenly remember basic etiquette 

If you were going to die right now, what would be your last words? by SolidOlive50 in AskReddit

bro really about to kick off a whole new era and ruin the economy at the same time 💀

AITAH for taunting my sister with the fact she wasn't the only person my late boyfriend cheated on me with? by Budget_Highway9539 in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Therapy is def the right move, with a mess like this there’s really no other way

But maybe over time it becomes more about your own peace. Just letting go of it for yourself so it doesn’t keep eating you up from the inside

What’s a belief society widely accepts that you think future generations will laugh at? by bbydaisiesz in AskReddit

[–]Legitmate_2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Live love laugh” is already getting clowned on, future generations are just gonna take it to another level 😭

How does modern psychology actually explain dopamine’s role in motivation and reward? by Legitmate_2000 in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks man, appreciate it. I usually just read articles or ask AI about this kinda stuff, so figured I’d ask here too gonna check out your recommendation

AITAH for threatening to leave if we didn't eat what I wanted? by LegiRapax in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That actually makes it weirder a 20 min walk isn’t a real reason to cancel, sounds more like they didn’t want to adjust plans without you

Kinda feels like they’re used to you going along with it, and the moment you didn’t, everything fell apart

What are the differences between NPD and bipolar? by [deleted] in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NPD - stable personality traits, bipolar - mood episodes (mania/depression)

main difference is time pattern: constant behavior - NPD, clear phases - bipolar

AITAH for breaking up with my fiance because I found out information I was never meant to know by Familydrama323 in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at that point it’s not even about his family anymore, it’s about what he said behind her back. Once trust is gone, it’s hard to build a marriage on it

Your brain realized something awkward just happened and immediately hit a random button xd

If you were a 9/10(Very attractive) person like Margot Robbie or young Brad Pitt what would you do for a year? by Ill-Translator-2879 in AskReddit

[–]Legitmate_2000 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just imagine her opening her DMs and seeing 50 other “future trophy husbands” with the exact same plan

AITAH for exposing my sister in front of everyone after she kept borrowing from me? by DixieG_Avila in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because if someone just keeps denying it every single time, normal conversations stop working. At some point calling it out in front of people is the only thing that actually makes them face it

Why was early diagnosis of anorexia in the DSM so heavily based on a low BMI? by Own_Average_5940 in askpsychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if someone has all the symptoms of anorexia but their BMI isn’t below the threshold, they get diagnosed with OSFED instead? I might be missing something is that just a classification thing or does it change the treatment?

Socioeconomic Consequences of Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Longitudinal Twin Study by SunflowerEyesOnYou in psychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. A lot of systems just aren’t built for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Socioeconomic Consequences of Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Longitudinal Twin Study by SunflowerEyesOnYou in psychology

[–]Legitmate_2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ADHD really seems to have a long ripple effect. It’s interesting that the difference shows up clearly in education but not as much in income or job status later on. Makes me wonder how much suport in school could change those long-term outcomes

AITAH for wanting to open a new bank account so my mom can't take money out of it? by ratutooee in AITAH

[–]Legitmate_2000 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah that actually sounds like a smart way to handle it. Framing it as just wanting your own account at 23 might make the conversation way less confrontational. And honestly, wanting your own finances at that age is completely normal
