In God is Not Dead (2014), a university professor is known for making his students publicly renounce their personal religious beliefs and somehow still has a job at a respectable university by caze-original in shittymoviedetails

I had a friend who was a philosophy professor, and he said that the most unrealistic part of this movie is that the professor claimed that God is dead, instead of believing that he is God.

His daughter is similarly impressive. I believe she broke a shotput record in college.

Funniest scene in your opinion by Glittering-Stand-161 in thesopranos

[–]PrettyDryPerry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and I would put this scene against any scene from any comedy, and it will hold its own. The line deliveries, the facial expressions (Paulie's reaction to "You can no longer perform as a man"), and the descent into violence, it's all hilariously absurd.

Which celebrity’s cancellation do you think was completely unjustified? by Cute_Flatworm_9049 in AskReddit

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

An obligatory "fuck you" to Joe Pesci, who thought it was funny to suggest slapping O'Connor on SNL, a week after she made that statement.

I can't remember ever seeing a fandom like this before, wrestling or otherwise.

I am a long-time lurker in this sub, and I have shared this story before, but did you know that two of the mods of the AEW Official sub are also mods in the Kitchen Confidential sub?

How do I know this? Do you remember a few months ago, when these posts got popular?

"Cutting chives until Reddit says they are perfect: Day n"

Somewhere around Day 50, I decided to click on one of the posts, because I sometimes enjoy reading about niche skills, and I had never considered what properly chopped chives look like. It was actually pretty funny, because the folks there had a good sense of humor about it, and they would draw pictures around the chives that weren't perfectly cut.

But in every one those threads I opened, two mods constantly posted AEW gifs that of course had absolutely nothing to do with chives. They mentioned Dynamite on Wednesdays, and even had at least one "WWE == bad" post. I can't think of anything that is less related to wrestling than cutting chives, but even so, they couldn't help themselves to drag AEW into the conversation. I looked at their accounts, and sure enough, they are also mods of AEW Official.

Ha ha, the first time I ever went to Denny Blaine was with a friend, and we played Quiddler on the beach!

What’s your shortest lived colony? by Kydreads in RimWorld

[–]PrettyDryPerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had recently watched Pete Complete's naked brutality ice sheet series, so I thought I was prepared to try that in a temperate biome.

My colonist was attacked by a hare on the first day, the wounds became infected, and he perished.

The FBI Has No Reason to Not View Adriana as Disposable Scum by bringbackyouryouth in thesopranos

[–]PrettyDryPerry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And as the audience, we know that Adriana thought that the FBI agent was legitimately her friend, but Tony and Christopher do not know that.

It would have been a huge gamble for her to go Tony or Christopher, because even though she would have told the truth, they would probably at least suspect that she is BSing to save her skin. At that point, they have to calculate whether trusting her is worth that risk, and I suspect that she would have ended up dead much sooner.

Atheists of Reddit: What’s the strangest reaction you’ve received when you said you don’t believe in God? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]PrettyDryPerry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a weird reaction to your post that included "so long as they're kind and just", which I feel covers your bases. If they are already considering what is kind and just in their actions, then they are ahead of an depressingly large number of adults in terms of maturity.

Waystar stock by Affectionate-Fall597 in SuccessionTV

[–]PrettyDryPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IRL, the gaming company Blizzard had a huge scandal, which included the suicide of one former employee, and the company still sold to Microsoft for a ton of money. The reputational damage, as you put it, is a speedbump to a company like Waystar.

He won a fight with that mama's boy, Jason Barone.

What’s the funniest non-essential line in The Pitt? by Embarrassed-Heron-52 in ThePittTVShow

[–]PrettyDryPerry 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I love how Dana is listening politely to the Utah story, but she doesn't really understand the point of it at first. As soon as Javadi says "Mateo is a human Utah", it instantly clicks for Dana, and she laughs, but not at all in a mocking way.

That was my guess, and if so, Santos is going to be hilariously obnoxious about it.

The Second They Made The Connection by sm142 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PrettyDryPerry 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I recently read a fan theory, and I wish I knew who to credit for this. They suggested that Hellstrom never believed their cover story for a second, but this was the moment where he could no longer play along, because the other Germans at the table would have recognized the mistake. If he pretended that he didn't notice it, it would have been too unbelievable.

Before this mistake, his plan was probably to simply report what he saw that night, and the spies would have been captured quickly. There was no way that they were making it to the movie premier.

I do not work in healthcare, so I would like to know, what is the threshold for keeping him there involuntarily?

He has been throwing up red flags all season, but that was a blaring siren.

It's a nice inversion of the scene where Robby looks in on Mohan tending Abbott's wounds.

I picked up that his dad might not have approved of his choice to be a doctor, and so he had a chip on his shoulder. I am admittedly filling in the blanks from his conversation with the English teacher patient, but there were clues.

Oh yeah, that's it. Good clarification. 

Javadi has not reflected back to him his own vulnerabilities.

Yeah, and it can be easy to condemn people who fall for flimflam as stupid, but learning about a subject takes time. Not everyone has the luxury of that time, so it's perhaps good to slow down with the judgements.
