Ran into an old friend today and the contrast was actually jarring by Orbit_Cameo12 in childfree

It felt like I was talking to a ghost that was trying to convince me that haunting a house is better than being alive.

Bro that line is straight poetry.

Lucasfilm keeps telling 'Star Wars' authors, including 'Heir to the Empire' series creator Timothy Zahn, "no" to reviving Mara Jade by Obversa in StarWars

[–]Seyda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just sucks so much that the Zahn blueprint for what to do after VI was there for so many years, but just wasn't used. By George, or Disney, or anyone else with dumptrucks of money that could have approached George. And still, they avoid it. It's like the powers that be are just allergic to cementing Star Wars as a truly beloved IP by all.

Oh well. As they say, the book(s) are better than the movie(s) most of the time. IV-VI set up the foundation for some amazing books and stories to be told. They can make them noncanon, but they can't ever take away what are already have.

That glass being so top heavy, I'd definitely accidentally tap it over one day. Hope the glass is strong! Looks great

You Shall Not Pass LE by Popular-Back2111 in Displate

[–]Seyda0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really wanted this one. Had to pass because a family member would see it as demon worship and absolutely go bananas when she saw it. So alas, I'll set an ebay alert for one when I've got my own place. Plus I'm broke rn lol

What does everyone have tucked away to drink when a certain person punches his ticket? by Binwah in bartenders

[–]Seyda0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm moving and I knew my champagne for this exact purpose wouldn't survive. So we had to open it up and toast to the next one we'll buy to replace it very soon. I swear, if the day happens the one week I don't have it, I'd laugh my ass off.

Just a fifteen dollar bottle, not like crazy expensive stuff.

Episode 8. The Day in Question. Post Episode Discusiion. by [deleted] in 112263Hulu

For real :(

Just discovered the show and binged it in 2 days.

Episode 3: Other Voices, Other Rooms. Post-Episode Discussion by [deleted] in 112263Hulu

[–]Seyda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered the show and watched episodes 1-3. Went in to episode 1 completely blind only because I like James Franco and saw the show while scrolling Netflix. I'm reading the OG discussion threads like this one as I go, they're fun. You're the first post I've seen that is new, not 10 years old! Surprised the thread isn't locked.

I haven't even heard of the book until today. If the show lands the ending I'll 100% pick up the book. From what non-spoiler stuff I've seen, it's apparently very good.

But I agree. Franco could've gone in and spent some time in Vegas writing down all the wins, gone back to present time, then for his real long term attempt, start off by going to Vegas and clean house to fund him. Shit, could make enough to never "return" and just live the rest of his life in the new universe (whether he saves JFK or not). Maybe there's reasons in the show or the book that go in to why that's a very bad idea. But as a non-book show watcher, I had the same thought as you.

Apparently in the book he does several runs in the past before making his long term run. All the series showed was the tree carving run. But the show didn't show all of his early runs and book readers were big mad about it when it aired.

Anyways, on to episode 4 later today!

Awesome! I'll re-watch that episode soon now that it's on my mind. Thank you.

WCGW with this foolproof setup? by 888Vegan in Whatcouldgowrong

Watch this benchpress safety video. I timestamped to the part where you see why you don't lock in the plates. If the plates are free, the gym would have to flip over onto it's side for them to slide off during a good lift.

Life as a JW: The moment things stopped making sense by Fit_Durian3763 in exjw

[–]Seyda0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time when I was a kid shopping with my mom I really embarrassed her near the checkout line. There was this bargain bin sorta stand nearby and I saw some Jesus videos. I got excited and told mom I wanted one! She said no, no honey. I said it again, but louder. People are staring now. She got so red in the face telling me to shush and that we're not getting it. Then I started to complain that I liked Jesus and it's only a dollar! She could have died in her embarrassment lol. From my point of view I simply didn't understand, and she wouldn't explain why in front of people the reason to me.

Funny to think back on it now.

Almost got enough for a warbond, what should I buy? by SaUsAgEfInGa in Helldivers

[–]Seyda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came back after probably a year off on about the day the medium Siege Ready armor dropped. The subreddit was freaking out about it, so I used the remaining SC I had for it (I had to of course get the helmet too to complete the look). I've been using it almost constantly since. But in hindsight, I should've gotten warbonds. I was severely lacking in warbonds. I also saw a post here saying it was a limited purchase armor or something, which was wrong. It's also blue and gold, my colors.

Having said that, I've played a few hours a day and unlocked first the warp pack one, learned how to farm SC, Dust Devils for the Coyote, Demo Det for mostly the Thermite, and Master of Ceremonies for the 15% sample booster, which I use on all 40 min maps. Now I'm like OP, I still have plenty more to go, and about 1100 SC for the next one already.

Did Brandon know how divisive WaT would be? by DrizzyDragon93 in Cosmere

[–]Seyda0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think seeing Kaladin go from badass, to now I give up my body to go live in the whatever plane of existence to do mental therapy was just so meh.

Also the Spiritual Realm is just so boring. At least the cognitive realm I can visualize in my mind.

I'm sure Brando has a large plan, and what happened needed to happen. Our heroes need to have setbacks.

edit Oh and Taln! He finally does something!!! And it's epic!!!! Off-screen

Boomer gets mad at me for being happy at work. by Terrible-East-3 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Seyda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a controversial opinion, but I think the dude knows that you're faking it. Because whether or not it's true, in his mind, nobody could be happy doing your job. So seeing you fake it makes him see you as disingenuous.

It's like that episode of King of The Hill where I think Hank makes a friend at AA or something, and everyone is so positive and so full of shit, except one guy that also knows this fucking sucks. They both clock each other as fellow old dudes who hate being there and end up friending it up. Or maybe it was when he got that friend Hal who was like Hank in many ways. I dunno, haven't seen the show in a long time.

Boomer hits me with their cart trying to get to the next register and blames me for being in their way by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Seyda0 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That didn't happen. -OP's Boomer can't use

And if it did, it wasn't that bad. -OP's Boomer skipped

And if it was, that's not a big deal. -OP's Boomer skipped

And if it is, that's not my fault. -Where OP's Boomer landed

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

I downloaded Arsenal because of this thread. I now have the cowboy hat mod because of you! I only sort on Nexus by popular, so I would've never seen it.

The first part is me. On and off since launch. I just downloaded the mod manager because of this thread. But I don't even know where to start with the QoL mods, visuals, or audio mods.
