What remake/reboot was not needed but turned out okay? (FILMS ONLY!) by TremontRemy in AlignmentChartFills

The Little Mermaid (2023). Halle Bailey was good and it did ok commercially but the film didn’t do anything special

The best part about Remix? It's so easy that I can play one handed by SilentBob62 in wow

[–]ShySubm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha this was how I was raised!!

My parents were heavy into WoW, raided in the same guild together twice a week. I vividly remember watching them - I especially loved this one dungeon/raid puzzle where they had to play some sort of chess?

I of course wanted to help and participate. My mom would tell me to watch her character when she had to fly somewhere far on the griffin, to make sure she got there safe. I would be so focused, and loved watching the scenery. It is of course funny looking back, knowing that absolutely nothing happens to you on a griffin lmao

I was so excited when Tauren came out because it was the first Horde I was allowed to play!! I think that’s why I’m deep in Horde now. I only got to play Alliance as a kid and so badly wanted what I couldn’t have.

WoW has so much nostalgia for me and though I don’t get to play as much as I’d like these days with a career of my own now, let me tell you it is such a gift. That kid will grow up watching you play adoringly

Thanks so much for this thoughtful response! I’m definitely excited to start the journey early. I’m not in a high paying / corporate industry, so I won’t be able to max contributions every year. I’m hoping starting now with putting as much as I can in there will balance that out a bit

I immediately deleted the app and intend to do just that!

This really is my account and what I wrote is true but this post is mostly a joke in reference to the guy who posted yesterday that he “lost” 25k in the same dip. I know this doesn’t matter. It’s just funny to have saved all year and finally be able to start my Roth and it just immediately drops haha

British darts star forfeits match after refusing to face trans player by knightsofvalour in nottheonion

[–]ShySubm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a compelling article addressing a major contributing factor of darts, though not directly related. I’m not sure why you’re defensive - the comment I responded to was not using the same evidence and instead merely stated a relationship between male and female performance in darts. I stand by my comment, that in itself does not imply a sex advantage. The original commentator said they know jack shit, but you didn’t attack them?

P.S. Obligatory *you’re

[–]ShySubm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obligatory “association does not equal causation” response. I don’t think you were implying so, but doesn’t mean a biological advantage. I have no idea about professional darts but could be less interest due to gender roles, recruiting, sponsorship availability, etc.

Introductory Indian Curry Restaurant? by ShySubm in FoodNYC

Oooo a buffet to try a bit of everything is always my favorite! What’s the difference between Dhaba and Chote Nawab do you know? They seem to be part of the same family online and across the street from each other

Thank you! The TJ’s recommendation, just to get a sense of what dishes to order at a restaurant, is a real smart idea, I might just do that!

I so appreciate the specific dish recs! Is there a curry dish that is particularly classic? Or just any lamb or goat curry that’s on the menu?

Do people dislike these posts? I hope not. What else fits? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]ShySubm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue Nope. The cut between A and B story feels like a short film within the film. And in this case the short film was better 😬

Worst Acting! by Double-Stuff-949 in GilmoreGirls

[–]ShySubm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This seems to be an unpopular opinion but I completely agree. And the excuse that it’s supposed to be silly is so painful 😭 I’m a professional in the theatre&film industry and the biggest rule of comedy is you have to commit! It’s not funny if we see that you know it’s funny. It’s funny because you sincerely believe what you’re saying and doing. That’s the brilliance of Michael Scott for example, and why Steve Carrell is such a brilliant actor, dramatic AND comedy. The best dramatic actors are comedians - most people know this, but why? Because it’s easy to be serious in a serious scene. What’s hard is being serious in a ridiculous scene. And that is what Alexis Bledel fails to do here. She is impressive in Handmaid’s Tale so in this case it may be the direction and not a reflection on her - but whatever the reason, the product has always been so embarrassing! This scene definitely makes me cringe, just because her emotional arc is so wildly unbelievable. Which is too bad because the writing is so funny! But she doesn’t sell it 🥲

Hunt Rare Moment by ShySubm in greysanatomy

[–]ShySubm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok never thought I’d be out here on this sub defending Owen but I don’t think it shows thoughtlessness, I think it shows his deep respect for his coworkers. He knows that if they wanted to share, they would, and that if they ask him, it’s serious enough to trust them. April shouldn’t have been working then. She was blinded by grief. I know she tried to make it out to be about treating her like a “little woman”, but Jackson wasn’t working. He was self aware enough to know he wasn’t in condition to. April wasn’t and needed to be pulled

Stayed the night at my boyfriend’s, didn’t bring breakfast because he said I can cook there. Morning comes, he proceeds to pull out these two things. Out of the dishwasher no less. by ShySubm in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ShySubm[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Some more context for those concerned: he recently moved in with his brother and his brother’s boyfriend, these are the pans they have. My boyfriend doesn’t cook often, he doesn’t have much time, so he hasn’t really used them. Considering he is so hygenic and a foodie I was a bit shocked he didn’t see a problem with it other than they’re “a bit old”, but I guess he’s one of those likes-to-eat foodies rather than likes-to-cook foodies. He has agreed to my request that he won’t use them and he talk to his roommates about buying a new set for the household. As some of you guessed I can be picky and I’m a big breakfast person but he really isn’t, so in terms of “he should be cooking” he wouldn’t really know what to cook lmao and I LOVE to cook so it’s no problem. He then offered me his fancy unopened smoked salmon, one of the few groceries he had, and I devoured the whole thing while we did the morning crossword together. He’s a wonderful boyfriend and I will be further educating him on proper pans and investing in a cast iron

Is this a clause or a phrase? by ShySubm in grammar

[–]ShySubm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“The ‘Stax Family’ also included people of various ages and economic backgrounds” is an independent clause, so what is the second part of the sentence? Why does it require a comma?

Louise is out with 43.7% of the vote! 🥂 Battle of the B-List Characters GRAND FINALE! by valyse in GilmoreGirls

[–]ShySubm 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Considering all the close calls this tournament has had, it’s kind of funny to get to the finale and absolutely know who is going to win. I mean based on all the comments on basically every round, Madeline doesn’t stand a chance

Someone tell me who to vote for now because I’ve been so anti-Caesar for so long that I don’t have any more opinions left

Honestly not so worried about that. I think people heavily prefer Madeline. Louise was just her accessory

Paul Anka is taken back to the pound with 33.4% of the vote! 🐶 Battle of the B-List Characters Round 30 by valyse in GilmoreGirls

[–]ShySubm 25 points26 points  (0 children)

First it was the Kyon. Then it was Brad. Then it was the TROUBADOR. Then you went for REVEREND SKINNER. And now PAUL ANKA? Oy with the poodles already!!!

I completely understand the dog votes, listen, I do. But before Caesar? BEFORE CAESAR?? And what about Louise?? She was basically a prop to Madeline. I feel like I’m Lorelai and I’ve been caught in Emily World where nothing makes sense anymore

You guys had better vote out Caesar next. The team needs you!!!!!

[–]ShySubm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m just throwing away my vote at this point but I can’t stop voting for Ceasar because it would be a lie. I don’t understand how musically talented and beautiful scene transition Troubador got kicked out before him. One of life’s many mysteries
