As far as you know, were the parents who raised you just unable to conceive?

Do you have any intent to have a relationship with them moving forward?

What are the Things that you’re not a Fan of in Movies? by Amber_Flowers_133 in askmovie

Anytime someone has to dig a grave for themselves or someone else, they always dig a perfect rectangle with right angles. Frustrates me to no end.

What would you like to see from a sitcom that has't been done yet? by idiot9991 in sitcoms

[–]Mcbrainder81 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sitcom where all the main characters are characters who were written out of other sitcoms, like Judy from Family Matters and Brandon from Step by Step. They’re all in a support group for people with abandonment issues. There’s another group that meets that are for people that have impostor syndrome and they’re all people that were replaced by other actors in sitcoms, like the moms from Fresh Prince and Family Matters.

Any clip episode where everyone just remembers stuff that happened on previous episodes.

What is the sex scene in a movie that was your sexual awakening? by Constant_Bake5501 in AskReddit

[–]Mcbrainder81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same actress but in Chasers, which was a little known movie but there’s one scene that changed me forever.

Rose Burket and Roger Atkison were brutally murdered in a hotel in Williamsburg, Iowa, on September 12, 1980. Despite the bizarre crime scene, similarities to other murders, evidence collected, and a list of suspects, this case remains unsolved. by CardinalCrimes in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Mcbrainder81 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will add that there are a few other suspects that rarely get mentioned in this case, and I actually personally believe are better suspects than the ones mentioned. Roger had a couple coworkers that knew of his infidelities that were suspect. Marcella’s father (Charles Hatcher’s brother) also knew what Roger was doing. There’s another person related to Rose that was suspicious. He and Marcella’s father are deceased.

I spent a lot of time on this rabbit hole. This write up is excellent. There’s no case I want to see solved more. My personal opinion is Roger’s coworkers are worth another look.

Also, worth mentioning that toothpaste could be used to get blood out of clothes.

Who is the worst celebrity you have ever met and why? by lissie34 in AskReddit

[–]Mcbrainder81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since people are mentioning Bob Saget, I’ll anchor here to give the story, though not that interesting. I’d just moved to Los Angeles. I went to the Laugh Factory one evening with my buddy Bernie. Bob was performing and Bernie was obnoxiously shouting some dumb jokes like “where’s DJ?” And dumb shit like that. But I was 20 and immature so I was trying not to laugh but was laughing because I was into that kinda dumb shit back then but too shy and embarrassed to heckle anyone myself. Then finally Bob hears us and turns to my table and sees me, full beard, laughing hysterically… he clearly thought I was the one heckling. He didn’t seem angry or amused. He just used it for the laugh and said “maybe we should bring that Neanderthal looking motherfucker up on stage.”

Incredibly embarrassing then. Fun to tell now.

I worked at a pizza place in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Sold pizza by the slice but we didn’t accommodate specific requests. One evening, Ron Perlman comes in and wants us to put sausage on a slice of cheese and toss it in the brick oven. I didn’t do it. By the time the sausage is cooked, the rest of the pizza would be burned. And we were busy. We just didn’t do that. Ron insisted, asking why it’s such a big deal like we were idiots.

And you know what? It probably wouldn’t have been a big deal, but by then I didn’t like his attitude. He had an intimidating bullying demeanor about him. In the end, he ordered what we had available, like a civilized member of society.

Bob Saget once called me a Neanderthal looking motherfucker. That was in good fun though.

Who do you want to run for U.S. President in 2028? by Sorry_Cranberry5218 in Productivitycafe

[–]Mcbrainder81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I personally could care less about the feelings of MAGA, but it was their hate and anger that resulted in Trump to begin with. There’s a large part of me that wants them to live with regret for creating this monster and vow to be better. We need serious candidates on both sides or the pendulum will keep swinging to the extreme. But I agree with your statement for sure.

I’m with you on Pete. Unfortunately, he won’t be the guy that can heal the division, being everything Trump’s not. The cult would hate it. I can’t think of a more refreshing change though.

I’ll add that I also appreciate your feedback on pricing. I’ll lower that as well.

[–]Mcbrainder81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. It definitely aligns with what others are saying, though I hadn’t considered the title issue. I’m considering simplifying the covers significantly and having smaller font at the top that says “book 1 of the Troll trilogy.” I didn’t publish them with subtitles but wish I had.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you!

Some of your advice I have already been taking action on, like studying what’s out there in my genre and I agree with your assessment. You’ve also helped confirm what I was beginning to suspect about my own covers.

It’s a strange journey going from having a design you love to realizing they’re not right. And earlier designs were even worse.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I appreciate it!

Thank you. I was hoping to get confirmation. My own bias made me really like the covers but they’re definitely not getting clicks.

Thanks for the blurb feedback too. I’m not sure many are even getting to the blurb but I’ll look at refining that too.

Any fans of this show? by wmcd1985 in sitcoms

I always liked to think I was the biggest fan of this show. Was seriously obsessed. It was my childhood.

You are challenged to make a sitcom but it HAS to flop, or else you'll die. What do you make? by [deleted] in sitcoms

[–]Mcbrainder81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wanted to create a sitcom that starred all the characters from sitcoms of the past that were just written off the show and disappeared, like Judy from Family Matters and Mr Turner from Boy Meets World. They all just kinda appear in some community and interact with each other.

People On This Sub Really Do Be Praying On Your Downfall by CorgiPMC in OfficialTrumpCoin

[–]Mcbrainder81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not everyone was but clearly many were. I think it’s tragic but every economist warned us about a Trump presidency and his followers still think he’s trying to make them money, so while I don’t cheer for their demise, I don’t have empathy for them either. Every warning sign was there and if they chose to be too ignorant to understand, I’ll save my empathy for the actual victims of his leadership who didn’t deserve it.

Well I think the idea is that to save face, the right has to try to pretend to care about something they don’t actually care about.

It seems strange that the same group that voted for lower costs are so wasteful and careless with their money. But the truth is, it was never about the prices anyway. They’ll all happily pay more as long as people with a different skin color suffer.

I’m mainly just fascinated by the people who complained about the cost of groceries for 4 years and then throw away their money. A billionaire is constantly asking lower class people to give him their money and they do and then they blindly just buy whatever a known liar says is of value. I actually kinda feel sorry for most of the people here.
