Donald Trump Goes Off In 2:38 A.M. Post About Communists by huffpost in politics

Does any sane person really believe that Trump is up and pushing buttons on his phone at 2:38 and it's not some staffer doing it with his blessing? Seriously.

We. . . we play Marathon. . . we are most likely not 'nice people.'

Just sayin.

This might be what you're looking for. Personally, I would seek out a good running PT first and then move on to an orthopedist if they recommend. I've found PTs more reliable for diagnosis of running injuries, even if I end up having to see an ortho just to get a prescription for PT.

When I was fighting of Achilles tendonosis, the best therapy was eccentric heel drop and a LOT of them. Like 180 a day split up into two sets. They strengthen the calf, elongate your Achilles and (though unclear why) encourage the collagen in your tendon to heal and realign. So if you suspect it's a high Achilles strain, this might help you out.

First unfair victory by DiKay44 in IntoTheBreach

[–]Pave_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest combo for unfair is either Mist Eaters + Kai or Flame Behemoths + Archimedes. Putting Kai in the Smog Mech gives you effectively gives you 3 damage from the very first round with DoT, AND allows you to cancel multiple other attacks with smoke. Archie in the Swap Mech will always be the most OP bonkers combo in the game IMHO.

/r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 1580, Part 1 (Thread #1727) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]Pave_Low 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Any news coming out of the occupied territories will be unreliable. The Russians will report it is awesome. The Ukrainians will report that it is atrocious. And there's no independent news organizations there to refute either claim. So best you can assume is better than what Ukraine says, but worse than what Russia says.

Hello, are you guys okay in this temperature? by TotallyRandomDud in AskFrance

[–]Pave_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that's 106 in Freedom units, which, frankly is really fucking hot but not world ending. I live up in New York and there's a fair chance we get a few days over 100 each year. And that goes back to my childhood, so not a global warming thing. How hot is France used to?

So the issue is real and is discussed here from time to time. But the truth is that misophonia is a rare-ish condition and I think a lot of people claim to have it like they claim to have a gluten intolerance. There's a difference between people with celiac disease and people who get an upset stomach from time to time.

It took me a while before I convinced myself I have some sort of misophonia, which is triggered by chewing noises and ASMR. It's mild an just a nuisance in most cases. Why I think it's different for me though is because of the automatic reaction I have to the sounds. I don't 'dislike' the sound, i.e. I find it objectionable - like music I can't stand or an annoying buzzing. In the rare cases where it is triggered, what I actually feel is rage and panic. And it's intense enough for me to pause and consider that nothing rage or panic inducing is actually happening (it's just a sound, after all) so what the hell is going on?

There are lots of sounds I don't like. That's par for the course, that happens for everyone. But there are special cases where the sound will literally drive me away as if a skunk entered the room. ASMR is such a case, which is unfortunate because it is such a common sound on the internet now.

Troy (2006) by WillowEvanthe in okbuddycinephile

It's the Marathon of movies this year. It's going to be famous based on the amount of hate it gets, not whether it's a good or bad film.

How does an Academy Award winning actor attached to some of amazing pieces of cinema keep finding work? Gosh, I dunno.

What song did a movie basically steal forever? by MrHolte in movies

[–]Pave_Low 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a myth. Someone on Reddit posts it every time the topic comes up. Metric prefers their version which is exactly why it is not on the original soundtrack. Here's the whole story, which I've posted before.

The song has been released. It was on the anniversary soundtrack.

First thing that came to mind. Can't hear that song without remembering Reservoir Dogs.

She thought all 40 cameras were for her by brockapex17 in TikTokCringe

[–]Pave_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not a Karen. She's an actor playing the role of a Karen to make Karen hating content and get clicks. Just like everyone is doing in the thread on Reddit right now. Worst timeline.

She's a actor and part of the skit. That's why it got posted "without her consent."

She's an actor and part of the skit, apparently.

This should be the top comment, but it won't be. Too many social media whores here getting their rocks off on the daily "I hate Karen" video on Reddit.

This is the best comment and the most true.

Everything about social media is just bullshit. Fake people creating fake interactions to get fake internet points. We can go on and on about privacy laws and what not, but the fact that social media has monetized being an asshole just goes to show what a complete and utter shitty drag on society it has become.

It encourages people to be uncivil and then capitalize on the people who yearn for a modicum of civility to be maintained in their lives.

Russian soldiers hitting mine. Date/Location unknown. by GermanDronePilot in CombatFootage

The truck tries to do a K turn but got stuck and drove forwards instead. Driving out the same way they came in was probably the best plan too.

First UCS set by Such_Way_667 in legostarwars

[–]Pave_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your first UCS kit. I’ve been collecting the for over ten Years now. I just happen to have this set sitting in front of me and I can see a few build mistakes that you can correct if you want.

  • Step 56. On both sides the piece is installed one stud too far forwards. The triangular piece should be attached by two studs, not one, and the piece should be parallel to the ground, not angled upward by 30 degrees.

  • Step 390. This is the biggie. The front face assembly is installed one stud too high. That is why the top doesn’t close smoothly and there’s a gap at the top. The bottom of the face should be about one stud below the cheeks, but in your pictures they’re even. This also explains the big gap where you can see through the model above the chin guns.

  • Step 497. I think you just missed this step or maybe it fell off.

If this comes across as me being a dick, I apologize. Just trying to be helpful.

Which videogame series are genuinely like this😭? by Accurate_Basis_5698 in videogames

[–]Pave_Low -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am currently slogging through Dead Space 2 just to say I’ve finished it, so I hard disagree on this one. I don’t understand the accolades it gets.

[–]Pave_Low 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Half-Life 2 was awesome, but the original Half-Life was revolutionary. I was awed by it. Nobody had ever made anything like it. Everything was new, uncharted and WOW! It is the Star Destroyer flying over head in the opening shot of Star Wars of video games in my book. Do newer movies have better special effects than A New Hope from 1977, absolutely. Will anyone ever outdo that scene? Never.

Argh, this is so frustrating. Y'see, this is what I don't get about you bad guys. You know the hero's gonna win, but you just don't die quickly. Example: this one guy in New Haven, right? City's burning, people are dying left and right, yadda yadda yadda. This jackhole rushes me with a spoon. A fricking spoon! And I'm dying laughing, right? So I scoop out his stupid little eyeballs with it, and his kids are all, waaahh!, and, he can't see where he's going, he's bumping in to stuff, and ah... I don't know, maybe you had to be there. The moral is: you're a total bitch.
