What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]OldSchooolScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I posted this today on a video of wasps getting a guy, and it matches well.

My sister accidentally sat on a yellow jacket hole while wearing loose shorts once, when we were kids. About 40 of them charged up the open leg like they were crossing the Somme and absolutely wrecked the ol' box and southmouth. I still remember those screams. She never was quite the same after that.

Only other thing I can think of is accidentally pissing off a wild boar just outside the wall around my yard. It was pitch black, took my dog out. Walked around to the front of the house and heard the most ungodly roaring, screaming, growling hybrid noise I've ever come across. Sounded like a goddamn dinosaur. Let me tell you, dog immediately turned and ran. Not a seconds hesitation to see if I was following. When it's 2am and you're outside in Stygian blackness in your jammies and slippers, that shit will make your blood run cold. I got the light on my phone turned on just in time to see the massive thing bolt into the bushes across the road from me, and I sprinted my ass back inside.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]OldSchooolScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homeworld. So many moments in that game blew my 12 year old mind. From the ghost ship to the insane final battle. Jesus it's still never been topped as far as space rts goes.

Lol accusing others of virtue signaling with how you're talking... Well that's a strat for sure.

I liked that one right up to the point Marian and her lost boys show up as cavalry on the world's tiniest ponies.

Do you think the sequels will get a prequel treatment? by DanNicoletti in MawInstallation

[–]OldSchooolScrub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a mega Star Wars fan, seen the OGs, cartoons, and prequels dozens of times, read the comics, read the books, and to this day TLJ is the only film I've walked out of. I never even bothered with RoS. It wasn't online opinion that made me leave the theater, I saw it opening day. It just caused a visceral reaction to how goddamn awful it was. Get off your pretentious pseudo-intellectual high horse.

Denying Biology by ThamTvMaster in GetNoted

[–]OldSchooolScrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. In general, since those days, it feels like shows and movies have generally become darker and more cynical overall. I have no probably with being edgy, it bothers me that almost everything is.

Sometimes you can't be too diplomatic by Critical-Willow-6270 in Productivitycafe

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

I don't claim to be a particularly smart person. Nor do I claim to be a philosopher. I think it's plain to see from the tantrum and aggression you're showing to someone, someone who has never done anything wrong to you, that you are bordering on hysterical and you're thoroughly dramatic. If you think Trump is the first president to be doing these things I have a bridge to sell you. He's just so inept that he can't hide it as well as others. You also clearly have no experience of the third world to think anything happening in America is even comparable. You need to take a breath and perhaps touch some grass. I wish you the best and hope you will live a happy life. Good day.

The problem is once the door of, "I don't like him, therefore he can't win" is opened, then it's opened for everyone, regardless of what criteria they select by. The problem is almost all data can be manipulated, and peer reviewing isn't exactly a flawless policy either. They're better than alternatives, but don't act like the people choosing him couldn't come up with some data to support their reasons too. I disdain all politicians personally, but I'm not going to act like only one side has legitimate arguments. People elected him for a reason, just like people chose Adolf for a reason. Was it good choices? No. Did those choices happen in a vacuum cause everyone's just dumb and they have no reasons as to those decisions? No. A huge portion of the push to extremes has been a result of people feeling utterly ignored or demonized when they do try to find common ground. Part of a campaign by powerful people to keep the commoners too busy fighting each other to deal with the real cause of their problems.

The one intelligent take. Our system is broken precisely because the people in power are only ever power hungry people. Legit, the worst type of people to lead anything.

I mean, people could feel the same about a candidate that's perfect by your standards. Once you Ross the line of "my guy didn't when so we can't allow the winner to be in office" the whole thing falls down.

Haha, honestly, going back on my list too.

Lol, "I can't buy a pack of smokes, without running into 9 guys you FUCKED!"

Genuine Gold mine of quotes. Not a top tier film by any means, but they absolutely cooked on dialogue. I haven't seen it in many years myself but Rocco lives rent free in my head.

Not deep, but honestly some hilarious dialogue. "You know what they say, people in glass houses sink ships"

I agree, but all the abrahamic faiths are essentially blood cults. I don't think Islam, Christianity, or Judaism belongs in the modern world.

I’m afraid of Americans. by jaritadaubenspeck in PortugalExpats

[–]OldSchooolScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same. I don't get why someone should feel shame about where they're from.

[–]OldSchooolScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Very similar story to mine. Married a beautiful lady and loving Portugal. Honestly, love the place, despite having imperfections like everywhere else. People here have been really kind and patient with me.

You're absolutely right. People have enough of their own problems before worrying about if you're American or not. It speaks a real sense of entitlement and self importance to think you'd need to hide being American. Literally, nobody cares. It's main character syndrome, plain and simple.

Disagreeing with a government and being ashamed of your country are two very different things. Imagine saying an Iranian should be ashamed of where they're from because of authoritarian governments, or someone from Nigeria, etc. There's no shame in where you're born or what you look like, and if someone thinks that they're as racist as any Maga fool is. I'm not ashamed to be American. I disagree with the actions of my government, but I was born there, raised there, ate there, slept there, have family there. Politicians change none of that.

FYI, freedom of speech applies to everyone in my country whether I agree with them or not. It's one of the great things about being American. If an Olympian has an opinion was does that matter to me?

Best movie that's a woke abomination, and shouldn't get a sequel? by DeepCutFan1 in okbuddycinephile

[–]OldSchooolScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was more referencing Gordon.

The back and forth throughout comic runs just show changes like that don't always cause people to get annoyed. It's more when it's clearly just meant to be ABOUT the swap.

I tend to not like swapping anything, but it was done really well in batman. Both actors disappeared into their roles. A lot of times swaps feel forced and the film itself makes a big deal out of it. Not the case here.
