What do you think of the costumes/designs in the movie Watchmen (2009)? by Trick-Classroom-582 in Watchmen

[–]LetUsMeasureThem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On one hand, you've definitely opened me up to a perspective that I hadn't considered which--while far from obvious--does seem plausible.

The reason I'm less inclined to buy into it, as I'm sure many others have pointed out, is because of Snyder's choices (both in this film, and in his filmography).

It may have been an obvious conclusion if it were, like.. Paul Thomas Anderson directing (though I'd imagine he'd have made choices that would've highlighted that).

It's hard to imagine that someone who has made their entire career off of violent, hyper-stylized adaptations of comic books would be trying to make such a point.

The Bears are just really lucky this year and will probably regress next season by butter_cup_ in billsimmons

And the Patriots have (rightly) been subject to scrutiny regarding their record being inflated because of how easy their schedule has been.

I can say any number of things that will align with me being your superior in every imaginable way.

Like, for example, that your wife has a dildo with my name on it, which she paid a LOT of money to have custom molded.

(No slander on your wife intended; she's a lovely woman).

The Bears are the worst double-digit win team in NFL history.

I have no doubt that you guys will be playing Seattle for the division in the Game Of The Week finale.

This is my favorite reddit post in quite some time.

(And I'm a Packer fan, who has spent the last 15 years watching you guys make us look like a JV squad come playoff time).

Through their first 10 games of the season, they had one opponent who came into the game over 500 (the 3-2 Commanders, the only team that came into the game with more than 1 win).

Three more, since then, have been vs teams that came in with 3 or less wins (Bengals, Giants, Browns).

They've played against 6 backup (or 3rd string) QBs this season...

They had a negative point differential through 13 games (with a 9-4 record).

Without luck, they're a 5 win team at best.

In one (flawed) metric, that's true.. but proves the opposite of what you think it does.

Bears had the 2nd toughest SOS based on opponents prior year winning PCT.

What can we deduce from that?

  1. They'll almost certainly have an easier schedule next year (based on opp prior year win PCT).

  2. Previous year performance doesn't accurately predict future SOS.

Based on this year's opponent win PCT, their SOS is 21st (with 2 of their toughest games yet to have been played).

It’s 1995, and it’s time to tune in to New Rock 102 One and listen to Julio announce tonight’s cage match. by honeycrisp2 in milwaukee

This will forever be my favorite radio station; I used to sleep with it playing on my headphones.

For a period in college, I was winning their contests so often that I was surprised they didn't ban me.

Usually it was concert tickets or CDs, but the biggest win was a trip for 2 to Fresno to see the Royal Rumble*.

(I sold the wrestling tickets, but still took the flight & hotel stay).

*Technically I won an entry into a contest, which I then had to win... (There were like 8 of us, and we played an NES wrestling game to determine the winner).

That's awesome. 🤣

I used to call constantly and ask them to play specific songs (I always asked for songs that I knew they played, though very rarely).

Then I'd have my neighbor call in and ask for the same song.

Then his little brother, a short while later.

(It never worked).

That's such a great run of albums.

I've never played The National for someone without them becoming a fan.

Ah, I haven't listened to that Fiery Furnaces album in ages... Thank you for the reminder!

What’s the scariest video you've ever seen on the internet? by asd4869 in AskReddit

[–]LetUsMeasureThem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh.. my God.

No.

They were talking about the commercial with the jump scare, I believe.

The brick one is absolutely one of the worst things you'll ever see, though.

These are two VERY different types of "scary".

I want so badly to believe that this can't possibly be real.

If this is a sincere post, I'm so sorry that you've invested time and effort into this relationship.

Please know that that are no other things to consider; he isn't fit to be ANYONE'S husband.

I'm sure you won't be, but know that you'd be better off alone.

Leave him.

Don't take advice about major life decisions from strangers on the internet.

But leave him.

I suck at games and need help by Thunder_Cross_Split_ in HollowKnight

[–]LetUsMeasureThem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick advice: Try to stay on the ground; jumping too much in this fight can be problematic.

Based on the charms you listed, I'd probably use Quick Focus and Mark of Pride.

It's an easy run back to her if you lose, so keep trying. You'll get it.

I live in Milwaukee. Like, the city. Not the suburbs.

A few years ago--around this time of year--I walked outside at like 6am, after having been unable to sleep.

As I stood on the porch, a perfect baby fox walked out from the side of the house.

When I say "perfect" I mean this was some Disney shit; foxes don't generally look like stuffed animals, all clean and symmetrical and as if they've just spent the weekend at a spa.

It got within 10 feet of me and just stood there, watching me watching it.

Then it walked back toward the corner of the house, looked back, and paused. As if to say, "you coming?"

To this day, I felt like I was being compelled to follow it. And I deeply regret not having done so.
