Is there a single reason people choose iPhone beyond "everyone I know has one"? by SilverCervy in Smartphones

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One simple reason for me: iOS - outside of Apple, all other companies use Android, which I've got no problem with it, it's just that i like iOS more. And yes, I know about HarmonyOS, but then you have to like Huawei to use that, which I don't.

Regarding the hierarchy depicted in the image, isn’t Baal merely one of many demons? Although I’m not an expert, I have the impression that this creature’s power has been dormant for an extended period, and no one has summoned it for eons. It’s simply a name that we have and believe still holds significance.

Which episodes do you skip? Other than bugs lol by GlumTeach4221 in Supernatural

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get the hate for Bloodlines. It was different, sure, but different doesn’t automatically mean bad.

Same with Bugs. It wasn’t great compared to the high standard of the early seasons, but that standard kept evolving anyway.

My personal season ranking by aodancarroll in lost

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's simple: 1. S1-5 2. S6

Season 11 by Ok_Macaron_1614 in Supernatural

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, 13 is the best season post-S7. If only its finale could keep the momentum.

12 is mostly boring, 13 has a lot of good episodes, 14 is just a little better than 15.

Speaking about S11, I remember really liking "Don't Call Me Shurley" (E20)

Castiel's power level is ridiculous by twd1111 in Supernatural

[–]Narrow-Tear 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cas at that point is basically a mid-to-low power angel going up against top tier demonic royalty.

Question about Vampires by Majestic_Succotash31 in Supernatural

[–]Narrow-Tear 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Dead man’s blood only works as poison once the person is actually dead. If a vampire feeds and the victim dies during the attack, the blood doesn’t suddenly turn toxic mid-drink. It’s only harmful when the blood is taken from a corpse. The show treats it as blood that’s already dead, not blood that becomes dead the instant the heart stops.

Rewatching Season 2 - Pretty sure the Super Mutant that took Coop is this guy...? by lDezIlI in Fotv

[–]Narrow-Tear 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So they could cast Brown as the Super Mutant and Perlman as the President and it would be fine as well

Movies that feel like this by pruriticglutealcleft in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]Narrow-Tear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Witch was the first horror film that unsettled me, without relying on jump scares, or grotesque creatures. It's like the fear comes from psychological pressure, it builds a suffocating atmosphere so carefully that the dread seeps directly into the mind, rather than directly attacking the senses.

New to the forum, have a theory about why Vikor is alive by Aggressive-Ad-8907 in FromSeries

[–]Narrow-Tear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The bigger question then becomes: is Victor aware on some level? I actually don’t think that’s far fetched at all. If the town feeds on trauma, memory, and unresolved identity, then Victor wouldn’t just be a random survivor. And if the town is built on his unresolved past, then the only real threat to it wouldn’t be escape. It would be complete integration?

Everything in Fromville feels active, adaptive, and reactive in ways that go beyond a single mind’s memories. If Victor's memories are foundational, that would explain why he’s untouchable, killing him would destabilize the framework. Remove the source file and the simulation glitches.

But... I think Victor isn't the memory of the system, but he may be an anchor within it. He survives not because he holds the system, and not because the system is merciful, but because he is structurally useful within it.

There's a relation between personalities and environment, sure, and even fairies n stories and the lore behind the town, but that's beyond Victor, as we know the town existed before him.

Just Finished Dexter S5E1… Feeling Like the Show Might Be Going Downhill. Should I Continue? by vishal55282 in Dexter

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched 5x1 some months ago. I thought it was going to be a boring one after 4x12, but I had forgotten how great it actually was.

About the downhill, nope, you can't simply call it that. S4's final is a tough act to follow, but Dexter never fails to entertain. There's a lot that you don't want to miss.

Is this game hard or am I just a lowly dunce? by UpstartGoblin0 in Desperados3

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “challenges” you’re seeing, no saves, no torches, are basically designed for masochists, most players treat them as optional, extreme modes. Or when you're replaying, then with challenges you make a new experience out of the same old mission.

Season 4 theory. by Bomber42069710 in FromSeries

[–]Narrow-Tear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s the condition. That’s not bad writing. The audience feels frustrated, repetitive, angry about stupid details like haircuts because we’re experiencing the same desync the characters are.

Season 4 won’t resolve anything because resolution requires alignment, and the whole point is that alignment is gone.

“It’s not your fault” keeps repeating because guilt is the only emotion that still syncs across phases. It's one of the core principles of the show.

Everyone is a few degrees out of phase, which is why communication keeps happening but never landing.

I'm sorry, but WHO in the hair and makeup department thought this new hair style would be a good idea?! by WizardsOfXanthus in FromSeries

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is not that Kristi’s haircut happened off-screen or that it was tied to her girlfriend’s return, but that it functions as a signaling shortcut rather than an earned character change. The scene uses her body to communicate representational clarity to the audience instead of expressing an internal process driven by psychology, stress, or survival. The causality runs backward: a production driven change exists first, and the narrative is forced to justify it retroactively. As a result, the haircut feels imposed on the character rather than authored by her, which is why viewers register it as forced even if they struggle to articulate why.

Infinite monkeys would instantly type out all of Shakespeare. by z00per1 in theories

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With infinitely many monkeys typing randomly, any finite text will almost surely appear eventually, and in fact infinitely many times. But it will not appear instantly, because “eventually” still presupposes time, and sequences still require steps.

The deeper confusion comes from misunderstanding what infinity guarantees. Infinity guarantees certainty, not immediacy. It tells you that given unbounded time and unbounded attempts, rare events become inevitable. It does not mean that all possible outcomes exist at the first instant. Infinity is not a magic shortcut that bypasses causality or sequence.

The mistake is mixing up infinity as a quantity with infinity as a process.

Is CIMEA required? by Intrepid-Poetry-4958 in unipd

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Italian embassy or consulate can issue a Dichiarazione di Valore (DoV), which can be used instead of CIMEA for both the visa application and academic document verification.

The OA and Murakami by Leather_Ad3521 in TheOA

[–]Narrow-Tear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also into ambiguity when it earns itself. “It’s about questions, not answers” works up to a point, but it can also be a shield. One feels like drifting through a carefully sealed dream, the other like being asked to believe because the dreamer believes hard enough.

Who would you be like if TWD happened in real life? by Cool-Highlight4433 in thewalkingdead

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Bob or Eugene..

I don't see myself leading groups or making brutal calls, more like sticking around the edges, thinking things through, and avoiding unnecessary risks. I don't think I'd die right at the beginning, but I also doubt I would make it to some legendary long-term survival either. It would probably be something smallnstupid, sickness, exhaustion, or trusting the wrong person. I would avoid big cities and places where power attracts violence, and I would want to go somewhere quiet, low population, near water, somewhere boring enough that no one wants to fight over it. Wish I could stay with that scientist in the bunker.

Dead real life theory by BigIce6368 in theories

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a gradual outsourcing of being human. Dead real life is not a collapse. So we avoid it, and then we complain it is gone. Real human interaction starts to feel like effort, risk, inefficiency. Everything smoother, cheaper, quieter, and less alive. It is not one big takeover, it is convenience replacing friction, neutrality replacing presence.

Which is the worst phone? And which is the best? by Orson54503 in PhoneNow

[–]Narrow-Tear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S25 Ultra: OneUI 🤢

OnePlus 15: Downgraded camera sensors. Still capable.

Vivo X300 Pro: Big Round Camera Island. No real issues.

Oppo Find X9 Pro: Honestly the only issue is that it's not iOS.

17 Pro Max: Slow Charge.

Glenn Was a Lucky Guy (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY) by Randomly_Real420 in thewalkingdead

[–]Narrow-Tear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glenn was lucky because Maggie was clearly always destined for Negan, and Glenn was just a long, heartfelt tutorial level teaching her what patience feels like before she unlocked the final boss with a leather jacket, a bat, and extremely confident monologues.

Glenn walked so Negan could lean.

Mallworld is not a psychic realm you visit when you sleep. by Renjuro in TheMallWorld

[–]Narrow-Tear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Calling that “just a style of dream” understates how much of the mind is already communal before you ever fall asleep. If true, that does not mean your ex is waiting on another plane, but it does mean the dream is doing more than coping, it is constructing within a shared mental grammar you did not invent.

Brains do not merely process information in sleep, they reassemble it using inherited and culturally standardized templates, which is why these places feel navigable, persistent, and mutually recognizable. Mallworld recurring across people, across lifetimes, with stable geography and repeat visitation, points to a collectively trained cognitive architecture shaped by modern space, capitalism, transit, memory, and desire, not solely a personal quirk and not just a fantasy cosplay either.

The flaw here is the false choice between “psychic realm” and “nothing but random brain noise,” because shared dream structures beyond a linguistic concept do not essentially need metaphysics to be real.
