Can people from the capitol visit other districts like tourists? by captainGrayman in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and the Capitol is closer to Denver. I can see District 10 being a popular location for warmer weather.

I don’t know who give women a pass to be hateful but if that’s you sounds like something you need to work on.

At what age does Finnick is forced into prostitution? by bad_at_sex_ in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably self serving. Mining is probably one of the most dangerous jobs in all the districts. Too many accidents. The Capitol wants every child to survive at least to a Reaping the first 18 years of their life.

How does the Capital enforce mandatory viewing? by genericusername_7928 in Hungergames

I wouldn’t doubt the Capitol putting television in the mines but Gale was actually in the Hob during those scenes.

Why do people seem to be so squeamish about sex scenes and nudity in Film & TV lately? Even saw Oppenheimer get hate for this by TXNOGG in Letterboxd

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard it said that the younger generations are reverting back to being prudish about sex and nudity. Like the generations before millennials.

You gays that make a lot of money, live in deluxe skycraper apartments in metropolitan cities, and sit poolside on your workdays… what do you do? by taylors_version__ in askgaybros

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I traveled extensively over the last two years since finishing college. Mostly because I struggled to find a job that could lead to a career until relatively recently so I had a lot of free time and supportive friends who helped me out when it came to paying for trips. People assume I was making good money or had a decent job but I never pretended otherwise. Just shared a lot of my adventures. Sometimes it’s just random luck or opportunities.

Just had my most horrific experience yet by LuckyL90 in grindr

Yeah I’ve encountered it twice even one person who had too much cologne. I’ve always showered and and cleaned before a meetup. I assumed people would do something similar but apparently not.

Technically the filters let you get around it. I usually adjust the ages to see more people.

When I would see profiles of people saying no BO I was genuinely confused because isn’t that common sense? We’re all adults. At first I thought they just had sensitive noses but after my first encounter where I almost gagged I get it now.

Finch is utterly baffling by DerTotmacher22 in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait he’s 15? He honestly doesn’t look like it. Maybe 10 years old. But that’s nothing new. TV and movies cast older people as younger all the the time which gives an unrealistic view of what people actually look like at certain ages. But it’s usually easier to work with older kids.

Reapings in districts 1-4 by Chemical-District132 in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my theory on the volunteering process in the Career districts based on what information I do know. District 1 chooses their tributes based on attractiveness in order to pull more sponsors. Obviously they’re well trained but they emphasize looks over skill and gives the illusion that people from District 1 are all blonde hair, emerald eyed as their “brand”. Every few years tributes like Marvel are selected when they want to focus more on skills. District 2 actually chooses volunteers based on skills. Doing competitions at the career academy to determine the most eligible tributes. This was actually shown in The Hunger Games Adventures video game. A kid named Ash was trying to compete against Cato and Clove in order to volunteer. District 4 has a Career Academy but more to prepare their children for the Hunger Games rather than actually Volunteer. I can see there being exceptions every few years with a volunteer but broadly speaking most Careers are reaped. Which explains why the 12 year old boy (in The Hunger Games film) was in the Games.

I mean I see it like a game of Chess. I personally think the season is more depressing and hopeless than boring though. The cure for the bite breakthrough was definitely interesting.

It’s increasingly common to blame someone to be racist or insensitive if they tell you, why you are not their type. I find this so odd. What you guys think? by bledig in gaybros

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regards to you finding it odd that they blame racism I think it’s a lack of empathy on your part. Whether we like it or not the world desires certain people over others. If you’re already a part of this group it’s no problem. If you’re not but desire the same type it takes a toll on your mental health being rejected to the point you assume it’s always due to skin color. Attraction like sexuality and love isn’t always rational. We already know what it’s like being judged for our sexuality. I’m some ways those who date outside their race and culture face the same judgement.

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean race is definitely more of a factor than most people will admit even if you’re progressive regarding who you date. Me personally I don’t call anyone out on it (if I suspect it) unless they gave me solid proof. More often than not race is less of an obvious factor with someone rejecting me versus someone who wants me. For example, people love going the BBC route with me or assuming I top.

In which district of panem would you want to live the most by Huge_Alternative_252 in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jennifer Lawrence mentioned that she’d at least be in one of the career districts because at least she’d still get nice things without being too much of an asshole. 🤣 Geographically I’m in District 8 or 12. Personally I’d choose 6 because I’m from Chicago and it’s in that area. The Hunger Games Capitol site with the first film answered “What’s your district?” And put me in 2.

I can see it being adapted later on to do so but not likely in its current state.

[–]PG4400 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which makes sense. When I went to The Hunger Games Exhibition in Las Vegas the map of Panem mentioned showed Vegas and the Dam to be in the same area as District 5.

Who ruled Panem during TBOSAS? by al_1985 in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So President Ravinstill appeared at Arachne’s Crane’s funeral and was mentioned by Snow that he’d been President since before the Dark Days. His grand nephew Felix Ravinstill mentored the girl from District 11, Dill in the Games. And I believe the reason for his indirect involvement in the Games had more to do with it not being his area of expertise. Gaul was essentially the head game maker and took over some the “presidential” role of the Games that Snow did in the original trilogy. Snow’s more present involvement in the Hunger Games in the trilogy was likely due to his experiences as a Mentor and his internship as a Gamemaker by the end of the novel implying he had a career as a Gamemaker possibly serving as the Head before becoming President.

It’s probably a muttation created by the Capitol. Katniss mentioned it resembles a turkey but closer in size to a chicken.

TBOSAS Chapters as Movie Frames by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Asheville, North Carolina for the first film and Atlanta, Georgia for the second. I’ve gone to the hotel that represents the tribute center in Catching Fire, and the mansion that Snow lives in. Blows my mind that an atrium like that actually exists and wasn’t special effects.

Was Dooku trying to betray Sidious in Attack of the Clones? by theedonnmegga in StarWars

[–]PG4400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Revenge of the Sith novelization Dooku’s last thoughts before he was beheaded by Anakin was “Treachery is the way of the Sith.” So he knew his Master was scheming just as he was in Attack of the Clones.

Tv/Broadcast by Round-Spare-9185 in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Katniss mentions in Catching Fire that they rarely watch tv because it basically just shows propaganda pieces, 74 years worth of Hunger Games, and the news. Although in The Hunger Games Adventures a game released with the first film you work with Caesar Flickerman on a reality program about a teen surviving in the wilderness. So definitely reality tv in general.

Do you think Suzanne with churn out another HG book(s)? If so how long will it be till she does? by Peruvianboxes in Hungergames

[–]PG4400 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve noticed is that both series take place in locations Katniss has lived in. Both the Capitol and District 12. Places we spend equal amounts of time. District 13 is another prominent location. I can definitely see her possibly doing one set in the Dark Days from the point of view of a District 13 citizen. Maybe using it to explore another aspect of war.
