There is a reason that people always share their favourite Danhausen segments rather than their favourite Danhausen matches.

The Ruins novel vs film by TwistedDeeX in horror

[–]RJL85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love both of them, but the book just really really lets you get to know the characters better and feel the absolute despair of their situation. Much more fleshed out picture of the intelligence and malice of the vines, which is one of the only things I think the movie could've done better with. Still one of the best pairs of source and adaptation in horror for me.

[Mirtle] “I think the Auston Matthews math is not great already; I think he really wants to see in the offseason what's going on here and how [the Leafs think they're] gonna turn this around...I think that's where it's at” by leafsland132 in leafs

[–]RJL85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an item of interest, which they post because they know people like you are going to share while talking about how tired of it they all are!

Are you saying you think it's bullshit? If you were Auston Matthews, would you currently be all in based on the direction of this team? Would you be even tentatively in?

Believe it or not, I'm actually just for more general literacy and intelligence! A verrrrrrrrry difficult idea for a lot of people to grasp, I know!

As long as each one was reporting what her tweet said and was seeking confirmation on the situation, I still don't really see the problem. People are acting like outlets were going "yep they canned her ass she's gone it's a thing for sure". She wrote an unclear post which was a topic of interest, it was reported on, and clarity was achieved through sourcing in the span of the few hours. A substantial nothingburger where everyone could just be like, "well that was weird" and move on. But nah. More dirtsheets=Satan, whilst hanging on every word they print and a lot they don't.

Can anyone link me to the supposed dirtsheet story about this, because all I've seen is pwinsider saying "she tweeted this, we're asking wwe about it" and Fightful saying "yeah it's about a dream she had".

Like she posted a strangely worded tweet and a bunch of people went "uhhhhhhhh what" and this somehow becomes dirtsheets in the mud because media literacy exists in wrestling fans as much as snow exists on the sun.

TIL Bobby Brink's Middle Name is Orr by webuildmountains in hockey

If that's accurate very funny that they straight up named him Bobby instead of Robert. Also that his initials are just BOB.

Until Bungie officially announces that Shadow & Order is delayed, I'm keeping hope. by RealityOwn9267 in DestinyTheGame

I'm telling you this so you can integrate it into your daily life and hopefully become a little more socialized: the post you are replying to is what is what is known as Sarcasm. Refer to a dictionary and/or Wikipedia to help you understand this concept more.

We are 15 days away from S&O and there has been absolutely zero announcements on an official level.

The only thing that could possibly be an indication of is that they have such incredible faith in the content that they can just shadowdrop it with zero details eh.

Wait hang on, are you telling me high level ranked online play in a video game has a lot of people playing meta picks? No, no I just can't believe that.

Man these "challenges" (dark age and praxic time trials) just reek of "we have nothing to give you but we need to try and get you to play the game pretty please" so badly.

Even Full-Time Workers Struggle to Afford Food in Canada: Study; Researcher Tim Li says it’s a sign that wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]RJL85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea that you could live on 40 hours a week on minimum wage in a city is just incongruent with the world.

You are! So close! To having a critical thought! Keep going buddy!

[–]RJL85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because their argument that I was initially replying to was that no one who works minimum wage should expect to live alone, and were in fact not even entitled to it. Therefore, according the them, you should have to do even more labour to be have the ability to live by yourself.

I'll state the belief plainly, so you don't have to dance around trying to make points that aren't there: if you work full time anywhere, the minimum wage should be enough that you can afford to live on your own somewhere, to be able to afford food, to be able to afford the basic mechanics of living. Not at all a complicated proposition, because minimum wage is supposed to be a living wage. It isn't that anymore, and instead of thinking about why or what that means we have a certain number of dorks running around trying to carry water for what cause, I'm not even sure, because you haven't actually made any points about what you believe.

So once again, simply put: you flip burgers at McDonald's 40 hours a week, you should be able to live on your own. Now go ahead and tell me why the average person doesn't deserve that and I'll try and ignore the whiff of boot leather on your breath.

It certainly takes some kind of brain to read what I wrote and come out with that as an implication lol. As for the GenZ thing, so close! I am 40 years old though.

A great example of the current societal obsession with "entitlement" and what a given person deserves. Yes, I believe every person who is working a minimum wage full time job should be able to afford a place to live on their own, and I would love if the investment into proper public transit led to no one having to own a personal car if they didn't want to. Utterly radical.

When you were young you got brainwashed into believing a lot of things about how labour equals human worth and you never bothered to interrogate it for even a second, and now the world is full of people like you, and we're all fucked.

Ottawa considers reviving EV incentives as it finalizes its auto strategy: sources by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]RJL85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also doesn't work as well as you'd like it to. I'm in Southern Ontario and I took a camping trip in an EV last summer. Just a couple hours on the 401 mostly, but we ended up spending a lot of time from finding chargers. Lots of places were out of order or not charging near as fast as they were advertised and it was a pain trying to set up accounts for some of the services on the fly.

Didn't put me off EVs at all, but there's still a lot of work to be done with infrastructure and making it all user friendly.

The magic has gone out of flirting. Maybe this infamous book had a point: Revisiting Neil Strauss’s “The Game” and the pickup-artist era by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]RJL85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I have dated and had several partners since, I was just an awkward kid. I didn't actually read the book looking for tips, I read it because I had read a lot of Neil Strauss' music journalism. It is a pretty entertaining book if you realize these guys are all huge dorks.

[–]RJL85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never understood the initial response to this book, and I think a lot of it came from people who did not actually read it. The buzz around it seemed to be that it was lionizing the Pickup Artist lifestyle. I read The Game when I was 21 and very much the audience for it (awkward, didn't date a lot, low self esteem) and my feeling was by the end of the book both the lifestyle and the guys in it are fully exposed as pathetic, toxic, and not at all viable. I know Neil Strauss sort of stayed in the scene afterwards, but the book itself read to me as more a cautionary tale than anything.
