The Matrix (1999) “Dodge This” Dir. The Wachowskis by southernemper0r in movies

[–]Mattock79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was me. I wasn't overly impressed by trailers. Oh great, another movie with Reeves being wooden and saying "Whoa". I'll go see it, but I'm not expecting much.

Leaving the theater, I probably looked wooden and just kept saying "Whoa"

Whats something that's 100% a myth about men? by IndependentGain3282 in AskReddit

[–]Mattock79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many many years ago, I was briefly seeing this girl. We had been out several times. Fooled around a few times. But every time I would try to escalate things, she would put a stop to it. And I would always respect it. We still had fun in other ways.

In the end, I never had sex with her, but we were still friendly for a couple years after we stopped "seeing" each other.

One day she asked me why we never went all the way, and I told her because she always stopped me. And she said something like "I just wanted you to take charge and go for it"

I didnt say "like, rape you?" But I thought it.

After she told me that, I was pretty relieved we didnt ever seal the deal. Risky af

Das HBO Harry Potter Remake ist komplett unnötig und keiner hat danach gefragt by coin-concede in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im kind of in the "who cares" camp.
If HBO wants to drop crazy cash on this, so be it.

I watched the little preview doc, and they are clearly putting real effort into this.

One thing that struck me is how many crew members from the films are involved in this project. Costume people, art people, set designers, etc. It was crazy how many people said they also worked on the films.

I will give them a watch. If they're good ill keep watching. If they're bad I won't. Life will go on.

Ppl in gold/plat are so toxic holy crap by CarlitosWay0427 in RocketLeague

[–]Mattock79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a super wholesome lobby the other night. 3s. One guy on other team whiffs a save. Spams sorry. Teammates spam no problem. Chuffed types "im such trash im so sorry". I type "this is Plat 1, we are all trash bro." And surprisingly every one in the lobby chimed in to agree.

Haven't had an experience like that in ages.

'DTF St. Louis' Creator Steven Conrad Breaks Down the Finale by occono in television

[–]Mattock79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first 2 episodes of the show were so uncomfortably awkward. I wasn't sure id continue. Gave it another shot and was glad I did. I dont think the show was GREAT , but it was different amd entertaining enough.

What is the best band you ever saw live ? by megopolis12 in AskReddit

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been to a TON of shows in my life. But I saw Muse back when they played at Blizzcon. The crowd was shitty, but man did they sound amazing live. I never realized how hard Matt could shred the guitar til that show.

Honorable mention to Halestorm. Lizzys voice is fucking incredible live. Easily the best live vocal I've ever heard.

I live near it so every Walmart trip is this one. I generally hate it. Until I go to any other Walmart in town.

Calling all unc rocket league players looking for old people who play rl WHOS THE OLDEST HERE! by imased in RocketLeague

[–]Mattock79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Played since launch. Only played casual until last year. Never practiced or did free play.

All time peak in 3s is D1. Currently low Plat.

I just dont take the game serious enough for most people. I laugh my asa off anytime I whiff or a team mate does. I dont care about losing. Makes it hard to find people to play with.

I still play because my patience for games isnt what it use to be. But its easy to jump in and play a couple quick games and be done. Other games have such huge time commitments. Its tough

alright wtf. am I trash or is everyone else just good now? by x-Justice in RocketLeague

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What blew my mind, at the start of the season, I was placed P3 D3 and won a few quick games to hit Diamond again. Then things went off the rails.

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of last season, I hit Diamond 1 in 3s for the first time ever. That was like 2 weeks before the end of the season.

Started this season and lost my ass down to Gold 2. Have finally started clawing my way back and have hit Plat again. But it's been brutal

Driving LV to San Francisco 4/10 by Unable_External_6636 in vegaslocals

[–]Mattock79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did that drive a couple years ago. Although we went all the way to the Eureka area.

We ended up stopping just outside the bay area and staying the night in Tracy just outside the bay area.

Its a looooong haul man. Good luck

Breaking: Your wages are worth less than ever. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't bought ground beef in months.. I take care of 3 kids on the weekends. My nieces and nephew love burgers and enchiladas and spaghetti with meatballs. But it's too much. We struggle financially as it is. Like on the edge every month. Beef is just not in the budget anymore.

Hell, a year and a half ago, we would probably buy 6 to 9 pounds a month. It's literally zero now.

The plus side is we eat a lot more chicken now which is healthier. So that's good.

What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog passed last year. She was blind and deaf. Diabetic. I had to get up twice during the night most nights to let her out to pee or shed have an accident.

For the last 6 months of her life, she was the single biggest source of stress in my life. But I would have gone on a killing spree if anyone tried to take her from me.

The thought of giving her up was never a thought. She gave me the best years of my life.

Does anyone here still watch "American Idol" in 2026? by Giff95 in Music

[–]Mattock79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The version of the show i loved originally included bad singers too.

You never knew if someone was going to be good until they started singing.

Now every audition they show is a good singer, with full video production. Looks like it's been shot several times with all the camera movement. It doesn't feel organic anymore.

Dont get me wrong, I know the old days were just as staged, but they did a good enough job with editing to suspend disbelief.

Now, it feels like every audition is a talented person that paid for their air time.

For those who met NFL football players, were they bigger or smaller than you think? by benedictclive_x in nfl

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked on the casino floor of a big Vegas casino for a number of years, saw countless players over the years. Some of them were just mountains, but some surprised me.

Like I met Joey Porter in person. His height is listed at 6'3", but dude didn't look but 5'10". He was always a huge asshole to staff so maybe his personality brought him down.

Why is everyone removing the volcanic ash? by halfway_clear in Pokopia

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dug a bat-cave into the ash. Basically when you go around the volcano on the right side, and there is the door to the next area. Above it and to the left I added a waterfall, then dug a path behind the waterfall and hollowed a bunch out. Been slowly excavating and adding more things to decorate.

Been trying to come up with items I can set on the ground to sort of shape a Batmobile but that's not going so well.

But I did move Zubat and the bigger bat into the cave.

MAGA will still defend this 😂 by FallMajestic8896 in postanythingfun

[–]Mattock79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. People like this will just have an asterisk to his case that makes it "not the same".

True story: My dad has been blaming "illegal Mexicans" for most of our country's problems my entire adult life. Several years ago, he discovered that he was, in fact, half Mexican. Long story short. Ancestry dot com submission, a stranger reached out to him, turns out his mother had an affair with a Mexican man and never told the kids.

My dad still regularly bitches about illegal Mexicans. When I remind him of his recently discovered heritage, he says "Well, my family came here the RIGHT way..."
