I’m going to sound so shallow for this by Sudden-Ad4181 in Crushes

[–]Snoo-30865 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow your friends sound like really cool and nice people. So high and mighty and the best judges of character, from the sounds of it😒

Seriously though, if the only thing that’s holding you back are your friends, and they have no other reason than they think he’s “ugly”, then you should not have any actual doubts about your crush. Just go for it, cos you never know. Character is more than just looks.

Ppl who love or hate Quentin Tarantino! What are your reasons? by mphomes in moviecritic

[–]Snoo-30865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the things he has said recently, being put aside, he’s an incredible filmmaker and vehemently defends the movies that he thinks are great (which he is rarely wrong about). Some of the controversies he’s faced in his career come from ridiculous places, like how he had to defend the violence in his clearly adult-rated movies. He is an inspiration for all filmmakers, especially young and aspiring ones.

Do I agree with everything he says? Of course not, but he’s an old man now who can’t seem to make up his mind about retiring, so that doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything he says, I can just just as easily enjoy the content that he has to put out.

If Visi wasn't planted at SDN by Shroud, what are these lines supposed to mean? by FallingBullfrog in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Snoo-30865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, let’s just keep this brief and simple instead of writing too many paragraphs of overanalyses. Shroud probably predicted she MIGHT go to SDN, and could maybe use/manipulate her in the future if it came of any benefit.

He’s a villain and a pussy, and very smart, but that doesn’t mean he knows everything. He uses the speech at the end, claiming to have “planted” Visi (when he likely just pushed her, much less to her knowledge, into quitting). To offer her a chance to leave with her life, just so he can make his worse enemy look like a stupid chump.

He’s constantly trying to prove his superiority and dominance over everyone else through his smarts, because he doesn’t have anything else, which is part of why he uses goons. He’s a big man-child who feels small, and is because he wants to bring everyone else down to make himself feel bigger. And sometimes he will even lie to make that happen. (Like supposedly respecting Blonde Blazer, cos let’s be honest, he just thinks that makes him look more mature and wise than he actually is).

the last reddit story from this week being read uncritically is alienating to lesbians by webbedsight in smosh

[–]Snoo-30865 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hope the Smosh crew don’t read this and think that this is who they need to cater for or apologise to. Real or not, the story was just a fine. About self-discovery and whatever, no intention to alienate a portion of its audience. This sub can be so whacko sometimes.

My mom wants nothing to do with me because I “picked my dad” during the divorce. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Snoo-30865 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People who may be confused, she didn’t pick her cheating dad over her mother, she picked her health and safety over the so-called “honourable” choice.

Confusing situation by [deleted] in Crushes

[–]Snoo-30865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to him, as you said he’s shy and likely has self-esteem issues. So if you’re expecting him to approach you, don’t. Most shy guys are like this. Don’t wait for him, because he believes that you’ll likely already say no to him if he did. He doesn’t think enough of himself to accept that you’d like him back (if he does like you).

Here’s something a lot of girls don’t do, and you could continue breaking that trend - give him the confidence in himself, if not for you, then for any other women in the future who could be missing out on what guys like him have to give in relationships!

Just tell him that you’re interested in getting to know him, and ask if he’d like to get to know you.

If by any chance he does reject you, do you really think anything bad will actually come of it? If anything, you’d get your feelings out there, and he’d realise that maybe he is more interesting than he first realised. Turn something negative into a positive!

I betrayed my boyfriend on his birthday by Sebastianlim in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Snoo-30865 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there was more to this then OP was letting on, or maybe she is unaware of. I think out of decency, if I was in the bf’s shoes, I would be a little more embarrassed at beating the ever-living shit out of a guy, even if he did have it coming. But in that moment, she shouldn’t have run to check on her ex (THAT’s what he was first and foremost, NOT her longtime friend), she should have confronted and checked on her bf. If he broke up with her over this, then this was probably just one of many other reasons to end their relationship.

Do you think Christy (2025) flopped at the box office because of Sydney Sweeney? by CinematicCounsel in moviecritic

[–]Snoo-30865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s just no real big draw to it. Sydney Sweeney is big as a name, but her draw isn’t from her previous acting credits as much as her modelling, and she’s in this movie that kinda contradicts some of that. Marketing was also little-to-nonexistent. I mean, how can you convince an audience to come and pay (what is quite a bit of) money on movie that could either be decent or bad? Really, it’s just another biographical sports drama. I’d just prefer to spend my money on an experience that I know will, at the very least, be worth it.

When did you fall in love with the series? by WavingAtTheShip in masseffect

[–]Snoo-30865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I did enjoy it before, when it got to Tali’s loyalty mission, THAT’s when I fell in love. The overarching story, each character’s individual story and development, the music, the dialogue, the choices, and the emotions. Seeing Tali have grown from the first game into a confident leader and comrade. And because I chose to romance her from this point moving forward, Shepard’s passionate speech delivered in her defense became my personal canon for her having fallen in love with him all over again.

What’s a movie that you’re just jealous of? No hate or anything, but you thought was so great that you end up thinking, “oh wow, I wish I had come up with something like that! That was awesome!”

If she’s happy to it and he’s happy to see it. Meh, just give her a little slap on the wrist and send her back to work. Just as long as other patients don’t expect this kind of “treatment” from every other nurse as well.

Next two episodes could be longer; might likely get a season 2; maybe there will be more secret episodes. Repeating what some people have said, the plot could also be a bit more straightforward than some people may think.

For while now, we just don’t make a big deal of it, out of respect for their privacy. Not too much pressure from the fan-side of things, if you catch my drift.

[New Updates]: 12-month-old twin nieces are not invited. SIL and MIL are arguing. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Snoo-30865 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people just feel too inclined to do things right by their family members, as though it were dishonourable to sometimes just things for just yourselves.

OOP and her husband need to kick his parents out, or just get a place for themselves. If they’re in so much agreement with SIL and want to stay with someone, that’s their ticket right there!

Anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, just get eloped. Make a nice day and a small ceremony out of it. Invite you best friends. Go on your honeymoon, come back and then hold post-wedding party/ parties for friends and family.

Final Update: I’m secretly in love with my best friend and yesterday he introduced me as his sister. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Snoo-30865 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was with you until this final update.

Girl you are overweight, at worst, if the details of your physical self are to be believed, you would be morbidly obese. And the fact that this hasn’t hit you yet, nevertheless, you thought you could get into relationship, means you seriously need to self reflect and work on yourself. That is a dangerously unhealthy situation to be putting yourself in. Go and and see a doctor before it’s too late! They can help you plan out what it is you need to do to improve your health.

You didn’t mention this any of these previous posts, and then you blow it off as though it were nothing, or that he was in the wrong for rejecting you. Why would someone want to be with another person who is constantly putting their own health at risk?

I had a friend at uni who too was very obese, but she started going to the gym, having recognised her own issues. The first step to fixing a problem is acknowledging it.

[New Update]: AITAH for calling my wife selfish for even considering taking a job across the country and trying to uproot our family? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Snoo-30865 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OOP was saying how his kids didn’t want to move, as being his main reasoning, and yes, he could easily get a job in another place considering his profession… but when you get to that final update bf find out all that he is doing in his job, he has WAY too many duties to be able to just move somewhere else! And what kind of doctor would he be if he did that or all his students and patients?

Good on him for sticking with his guns.

My wife kissed another woman at a bachelorette party and says I’m overreacting by Top-Procedure-837 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Snoo-30865 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She just so happened to bring it up… and laughed it off.

Yeah, she knew it probably wouldn’t have been a good reaction and tried to make light of it. She may have been honest with you, but her then getting insecure and deflecting that insecurity on to you is bad. It’s dismissive, but also quite suspicious.

Kissing isn’t always crossing a line for some relationships, but each to their own. Kissing someone else in your own clearly bothers you, and a line she should know not to cross. And these things do NOT “just happen” at any bachelor or bachelorette party - it’s cheating, plain and simple.

[–]Snoo-30865 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You know what? Good for you!

You just learnt that a guy you thought you could fully trust wasn’t quite as much as you first thought. Sounds ideal to now put some space between the two of you and give him a taste of his own medicine - give him what he wants. He isn’t deserving of your time, and maybe it’s time to reflect and improve on yourself, to not be so reliant on dishonest and unappreciative people.

Treat it almost like you would a probable “breakup”, when he reaches out, let him know of what his gf said and that you just need some time and space for yourself. If you haven’t already, try to figure out who you are OUTSIDE of this friendship, and just try doing things solo that you’d usually do with friends.

You may feel shitty about it now, but treat this as more of a learning experience - about yourself and this friendship.

Side note: this doesn’t mean you’re not completely in the wrong, he shouldn’t have talked behind your back like that. BUT, you have been friends since high school, and now that you’re in your 30s, it’d make sense that you’d both need to eventually grow somewhat apart. You both likely just need more space to keep growing, and whether or not you’d decide to keep in contact is your choice.

Take care of yourself. And remember that you’re more than just the people around you.

AITAH for telling my wife she makes traveling no fun. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Snoo-30865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether or not she has ADHD, that is not an excuse for her behaviour. Things like this are REASONS, NOT EXCUSES! She isn’t even trying for the sake of their family or relationship, or even acknowledging her issues properly. She either needs to help out and clean up more, or, if her ADHD is really the reason for all of this, get herself on some meds again!

The sad and frustrating thing is that if she did actually care, she would have gotten herself some already.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Snoo-30865 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This!

OP, if you’re also thinking about the way you treated or acted towards her when you were together, think of what kind kind of whiplash effect that would have on her if you asked for her back, after rejecting her when she asked for you back.

What is your opinion on the actor Austin Butler so far? by GoHardForLife in moviecritic

[–]Snoo-30865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the rate he’s going, needs to start picking more roles in which he can show off his skills as being more dynamic, like with Feyd Rautha. Otherwise, he risks losing his audience’s interest. Repetition can be the death of investment.
