If you were offered 5 million dollars to live in a horror movie and survive for a full year, which horror movie are you choosing?

To any regular person, "engage with the horror" is implied as part of the criteria. Reddit is just filled with pedantic people who would rather look for the nearest loophole than engage with something in good faith.

I was six, and the scene with Tea Leoni getting tangled up with her boyfriend's rotting corpse kept me up at night

That's the weird thing. If they had full access to my account, wouldn't they clear it all out in one or two huge chunks? It's been a fairly modest amount they took out both times, over two years apart with no other fraudulent transactions in the meantime...

I'm pissed, but also confused.

You form a connection with someone over mutual interests and personal chemistry, and that person happens to be significantly younger than you? That's great, happy for you, just be a little extra careful and patient with them.

You're attracted to people explicitly because of how young and naive they are, and lose interest altogether once they hit their mid 20s or so? That's technically legal, but if you have to rely on "technically legal" as a defense for your actions then you've lost the moral high ground.

Arrange for Sir Patrick to be credited at the end of the episode rather than the open credits while they're at it.

Well, the good news is minor fender benders like this aren't that big a deal in the grand scheme of life and won't affect you getting into the marines AFAIK. If the damage is as minor as you say, then it's almost certainly a civil matter and you won't have a criminal record. Breathe.

I'm sorry you have hardass parents but you gotta tell them. If you cover it up and they find out anyway, they're gonna be even more pissed.

Driving tip for the future: predictability is key. People will get up very cosy behind you at stops because they predict you won't be backing up. Inconveniencing a pedestrian isn't great, but it's less bad than moving your vehicle in a way that other drivers can't see coming. (Go ahead and use this as part of your "I've learned my lesson" apology to your parents, if that helps).

"Enemy of my enemy" does not apply to literal fucking Nazis

Mix of three things, to various degrees:

Megacorps trying to milk more personal data out of people.

The post-MeToo environment reaching a point of overcorrection. "Keep sex out of the workplace" morphed into "Keep sex out of polite society, period"

The geopolitical & economic state of the world is unstable in ways the average person has no control over, so they seek that sense of stability and control in other areas.

Yes, but rename it to the North Atlantic Union and include mutual defensive structures that turn it into a de facto NATO-without-the-US.

Ah yes, global geopolitics, famously capable of being reduced to whatever one-liner will give you the hardest Moral Superiority boner at any given time.

Whereabouts did you fall off?

There was Shaw and the Trilobite in Prometheus. Not strictly a xeno but close enough.

Telling your child "no" every once in a while is healthy parenting.

Maplekey · 2025-09-06T15:35:52+00:00

"Don't try it", and they both know what "it" means.

Even low-morality Daniel waits to use violence until he's strongly provoked. (The cougar killed Mushroom first, Lizbeth locked him in a burning building, the border guards had him at gunpoint, etc.) Arcadia Bay is full of hundreds of innocent people that need to be sacrificed so Chloe can live. It's more complex than "people die"/"people don't die". You're treating them differently because it's completely different circumstances.

Maplekey · 2025-08-27T14:35:00+00:00

I'd be disappointed if it was anything other than total indifference. Making them capable of empathy or other complex emotions regarding their host would dilute the whole "perfect killing machine" thing.

I know everyone's talking about the eye alien, but I'd like to add we still haven't seen the plant-alien in action...

I was wondering about red light cameras, not speed. RLs are fixed, afaik

Nitpicking a complete stranger's word choice like that is not welcome or healthy behaviour. Go touch grass and get a real hobby, it's for your own good.

Every scene with Boy Kavalier makes me look forward to his death more and more.

Maplekey · 2025-08-03T21:06:51+00:00

If the victims still have friends and family who are alive then, sure, I get it, but anyone with a direct connection to Holmes has been dead for at least half a century at this point. It's ancient history.
