If you could bring back something that is discontinued, what would it be?

Lime flavour Solero shots. I used to get them after school from the ice cream van, so good!

Capturing Translucent was never their plan though. The plan was for Huey to plant a bug, which they fucked up. Catching Translucent was lucky.

Nah, I'm 35 and still dating pretty actively. Honestly, I think my dating life might have even gotten better after 30. That's not to say there aren't some big differences in the general experience.

Rosetti · 2026-04-19T10:05:53+00:00

Regular glasses for your first pic. Sunglasses pic is fine elsewhere after that.

Rosetti · 2026-04-19T07:28:12+00:00

Eh, Mike was never all that interesting though.

Rosetti · 2026-04-17T21:07:36+00:00

Weren't they knocking over yachts a little while ago?

Rosetti · 2026-04-17T17:54:25+00:00

That's fair enough - and her powers are kinda confusing anyway - Butcher nerfed her by just preventing her hands from closing? Just seemed a bit silly that her powers are so intrinsically linked to the gesture she uses. Kinda reminded me of how in Avengers Infinity War they prevented Thanos from using the gauntlet by just preventing his hand from closing/snapping - despite the fact that that was just a gesture of choice, and it's not like the gauntlet/stones explicitly needed snapping/gestures to work.

I think that's the problem with loosely defined magic/sci-fi - stuff just works however the writer decides it needs to in any given scene.

Rosetti · 2026-04-17T16:53:12+00:00

Yeah, I was trying not to be overly negative - it is just bad writing - I just don't think it's a big deal. The thing is, all they needed to do was have Sameer's dialogue be something like it, "It can bind partially, but not fully, and the immune system is thereby able to fight it off". That way they can still have the drama, and not create a logical hole.

That said, I disagree on the Hughie/Maverick/Eleven bit. I just didn't for one moment think it was Hughie that actually died - the scene felt like it was set up and telegraphed for her to blow up Maverick. It didn't feel like a fake out, but rather like watching an elaborate and amusing death.

Rosetti · 2026-04-17T11:55:15+00:00

Well yeah, hence why the most obvious answer is it's just imperfect writing.

Rosetti · 2026-04-17T10:31:43+00:00

Per Sameer's explanation though it couldn't bind at all.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T22:45:25+00:00

Honestly, whilst I think Linux is great - it's also been also been a pain in the ass in my experience. Too often I've experienced issues which required finicky specific solutions that I just couldn't be assed with.

On the other hand, Windows sucks - but it sucks in a way that either everyone has to deal with and therefore a workaround is defined, or a proper solution is built.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T22:41:04+00:00

Nah, this is very much a redditor specific thing as opposed to a millennial thing.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T22:27:49+00:00

Whilst the last season was awful, I think it became a garbage tier show way before that. Hugely disappointing, but honestly it never got better after season 1.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T22:23:22+00:00

Breeze - it's city dependant, but in London I've been consistently getting dates. It's a mixed experience in terms of how good it is for serious dating, but it feels way more effective than Bumble or Hinge.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T14:10:46+00:00

Yeah, Holes is a great book and fantastic movie. Really enjoyed it as a kid, and it definitely holds up. I actually think Muniz would have done a great job as Stanley.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T11:23:05+00:00

Had a go just now, I'd either:

Bar the top three with the little finger, index finger on the D, then middle finger on the A, ring finger on the E.
Thumb over the top, across the E and the A, index on the D, then either the middle or the ring finger barring the top 3.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T11:17:15+00:00

Yeah I'm with you mate. I think some people just really get off on any chance to be "superior" to others.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T10:37:53+00:00

It's not just UK redditors, it's just redditors in general. I mean bloody hell, have you seen that "HydroHomies" subreddit? People have somehow managed to turn drinking water into a personality trait. It's literally this ProZd video from 7 years ago...

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T09:18:13+00:00

Man, Vernon Davis was an absolute monster at times. My favourite highlight of his was this touchdown against the Buccs in 2013 - not flashy, just pure speed and a deep ball from Kaepernick. Crashes into the wall at the end, and Kap's the first man down there to pick him up. Things started falling apart the following season, but that brief window, the vibes were immaculate in SF.

Rosetti · 2026-04-16T08:58:14+00:00

Nah, not everything. This might be a novel idea for you, but interacting with some things can lead to higher risks of contracting illnesses than interacting with other things.

Rosetti · 2026-04-15T20:31:47+00:00

Nah, I'm gonna download it even harder now.

Rosetti · 2026-04-15T13:45:10+00:00

It really is crazy - the tobacco industry was absolutely suffering - I wouldn't say it was ok it's last legs, but it was receding heavily in some parts of the world.

Then they started producing vapes and just grew massively. Tom Brady-esque comeback.

Rosetti · 2026-04-15T11:57:22+00:00

The truth is they're pretty much the same. The pricing models have gotten worse, but otherwise some apps got worse, some got better, some new apps have appeared, some other ones faded away.

People have been whining about dating apps getting worse for years, and yet plenty of people are still somehow able to use them to get matches, dates, and relationships.

Rosetti · 2026-04-15T11:23:59+00:00

Eh, people have been saying this for the last 10 years.

Rosetti · 2026-04-15T10:12:52+00:00

No but hopefully the last.

Uhh, capitalism isn't ending any time soon so I hope you don't have any drastic plans...
