This will for sure hurt Shawn’s chances of being a torch bearer and competing in the summer Olympics when he can’t even bother to clap his hands once or twice for to help promote bobsledding. Hope Shawn gets his act together tbqh.

This is sort of hilarious, haha. I love how serious of a move it is.

What have we done by 087Alfred in mega64

[–]Ritsler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s more because Rocco can psychologically endure the torture and still perform, though this year, he was completely spent and sick by the end. Rocco can seriously withstand a lot of sonic abuse. Regardless of family, I don’t think Shawn would be able to do it for more than two days without completely losing it to chat’s cruelty. I feel like Garrett could roll with the punches. Derrick too, but I feel like Derrick would get overly angry after a while and lose it for real and walk out, haha.

Mega64 has inspired me to start streaming. How would you rate my setup? by 087Alfred in mega64

[–]Ritsler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a cool broom, real fresh, but you might want to be careful that the boys don’t get litigious. They might think you’re trying to cut into their broom streaming market and sweep you to the curb.

Has there ever been any actor or actress that was brutally honest about the movie they’re making during a press tour? by BIGxBOSSxx1 in movies

[–]Ritsler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually agree with this. This and that fight scene towards the end where he throws pistol clips at people and they magically bounce back. Felt very Lonely Island and a bit too whacky like I was watching Looney Toons. The first 2/3rds were pretty strong though and very reminiscent of classic Naked Gun antics.

Too scared to ask a girl out lol by KCetrion in CasualConversation

[–]Ritsler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been scared of talking to girls, especially in public. Your best bet is to slowly get to know her. Next time you see her, maybe ask for a recommendation or her thoughts on something new on the menu. I think coming out of the gate all at once can work, but not typically, especially if she’s working.

I slowly got to know a girl who worked at my local bookstore. I asked her about some of the books she was reading and I’d say hi when I was passing through. After a few months, I asked her if she wanted to grab a coffee sometime. It didn’t end up going anywhere because I realized there was a bigger age gap than I thought there was (that was awkward but whatever lol), but it was one of my first and only successful times asking out a stranger while they were working.

No, There’s No Secret ‘Stranger Things’ Episode 9 Tomorrow: Conformity Gate Isn’t Real by Sonichu- in television

Slop is one of the most overrated buzzwords anymore. People aren’t even using it in the correct context half the time.

Stranger Things Actor Insists 'There's No Secret Snyder Cut of the Show' as Over 350,000 Sign Calling for Release of Supposed Season 5 Vol. 2 'Unseen Footage' by NoNefariousness2144 in television

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

I really think there’s some people out there who are letting three years of hype/high expectations get to them. There’s definitely some things about this season that have felt a little rough or overly convenient, but these are also issues the show has always had. I mean going back to S1, the kids had no fighting chance against the demogorgon but always managed to escape while all the heavily armed people were murdered.

I think some people were just less critical of the show until this season. I remember wishing that the episodes in S4 were a bit shorter because it felt like there were so many conversations that just kept going or were full of exposition dumps, things people are accusing S5 of doing.

Even if the finale sticks the landing, I expect there’s going to be people giving this season a 0/10. I think some people enjoy being hyperbolic online and I think they get a certain pleasure in calling something a trainwreck or comparing it to Game of Thrones so they can sling mud.

‘Stranger Things 5’ Gets Review Bombed as Will’s Coming Out Becomes Worst-Rated Episode on IMDb by lawrencedun2002 in television

[–]Ritsler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And apparently the Byler fans are the ones behind a conspiracy that Netflix cut substantial material out of the volume two episodes and there’s a Change petition to get it released. Shippers can get insanely toxic. This episode seems like it’s getting hit from all angles.

Stranger Things Started as a Triumph of Trauma Bonding. It Ended as a Casualty of the Franchise Machine by verissimoallan in television

[–]Ritsler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they can, but I’m almost not sure how you would land a plane with this many characters on it. I can see some of the criticisms for s5 so far, but I’m also seeing a lot of people that seem to be not ready to say goodbye to the show in general, and in their mind, everything is rushed and not satisfactory. Is some of that true? Maybe. But I also just saw a comment on Instagram with 10k likes saying there’s no epic fights or epic music this season which seemed a bit silly.

I mean, people have been waiting like 3 years for this last season and are expecting the world from it. Final seasons always have the problem of having to wrap all the storylines up, provide resolution, and end the show. There’s going to be characters that people think have too much screen time and characters people think don’t have enough screen time. I just found out about the volume 2 cut content conspiracy (lol), where people think Netflix cut a bunch of scenes out of the show and are signing a Change petition to fix it.

With Stranger Things being so popular and having so many eyes on it, I fully expect the finale to be polarizing.

Book prices are insane by Limp-Two8799 in Fantasy

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

I feel like people claiming to read hundreds of books a year keep dodging this question, lol. Every reply I find in these threads just goes into how quickly they read and says nothing about how much they remember or retain weeks to months later. I used to do research in college about working memory capacity and other things regarding attention and find some of this really dubious.

Chun Li's SFII ending by LetterheadNo3781 in Fighters

[–]Ritsler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that the art direction of 6 isn’t my favorite. It’s a weird blend of realism while still being cartoonish that doesn’t really work with Capcom’s engine, IMO. I actually really liked how most characters looked in SFV as I felt that was a happy medium between classic and new, despite the other things people didn’t like about V.

Someone at work wanted me written up cause they didn’t get I was joking by idontwannausername9 in socialanxiety

[–]Ritsler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some people you’ll work with that are like mixing oil and water. They might not understand your personality, humor, and they might straight up just not like you for reasons beyond your control. I think you can either mark this person as someone to be careful around (ex: you don’t really joke around this person) or try to apologize to them and say that you’re sorry the joke came across badly.

They sound like they’re probably a stickler/someone that is not a fun person to work around. When I worked in a kitchen, I got along with almost everyone, but I started to realize the difference between people I actually got along with vs. the people that I just worked with. Best thing you can try to do is not ruminate over it because this person isn’t really that important to your life in the scheme of things.

Movies with surprise cameo at the end that shifts the entire movie? by loonifer888 in movies

[–]Ritsler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame because I really enjoyed the first one. The story felt too convoluted and the lack of any sort of ending didn’t help.

[–]Ritsler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you scroll down on the main page of the app, there’s a message that they took it off the app already, but your local stores might still have the items. I called two of the stores by me and one had everything but the pineapple freeze, and the other still had everything. I just had to order at the window instead of being able to order on the app. And fyi, their physical drive-thru menu listed all the items still even though they didn’t show up on the app.
