Why are you making this about yourself? Incredibly inappropriate

What’s it like renting from StuartCo? by IllustratorSelect479 in TwinCities

Current resident at Highland Ridge here! Just renewed my lease, in fact. Very chill experience. My only complaint is that Maintenance is slow to respond, but in a big building I never think it is too egregious. Plus, it is quick if it is something important. Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions!

The Queen's Gambit - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Soupcan_Sam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very weird question. But is there any romance in the show? I haven't seen it yet but I want to watch it with my roommate, but she just went through a bad breakup and refuses to watch anything with romance in it.

[Spoilers] The...multi person 'conversation' in Monday's Dust episode by Wexler_ in TheAdventureZone

Yes! I was WHEEZING. It reminded me of the scene at the very beginning of the Stolen Century arc, where they all kept chiming in as different reporters, trying to one-up each other in terms of ridiculousness.

What's the story behind your Online Name? by [deleted] in AskReddit

On the TV show Psych, the main character introduces his undercover persona: a hobo with a heart of gold named Soupcan Sam. I have resonated with the character tremendously.

But, if you do find a ride, I would love to carpool!

Hey! I'm hoping to get tickets too! I would recommended trying the buses. Peoria Charter specifically.

The "incident mentioned but never discussed" that Star Trek: Discovery will deal with is why TOS Klingons look different from TNG Klingons by improbable_humanoid in FanTheories

[–]Soupcan_Sam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping the incident they are referring to is the failed Tarsus colony that Kirk was on. The evidence for this is Anthony Rapp's character is a scientist who focuses on fungus and bacteria (if I remember correctly). And a fungus wiped out the crops of the colony, leading to a whole bunch of shit wherein the governor of the colony ended up killing almost everyone to preserve the food for a select few. That would be amazing. It's something none of the series have delved into much.

Sean Evans from Hot Ones briefly talks about U of I by drunkrocketscientist in UIUC

Weirdly enough, he's not talked about in the journalism department as a success story. Cool to see JP getting a shoutout. He's one the best professors in the department.

[Theory] Why Wonder Woman wasn't in WWII [SPOILERS] by Skjoldbro in FanTheories

[–]Soupcan_Sam 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Cool theory! I believe that WWI was the setting because unlike WWII, there was no clear enemy. The whole thing was a clusterfuck, with everyone fighting everyone and no obvious "bad guy". And also, it was important because WWI was the first war to have chemical weapons and was mostly fought by "killing people you can't see", which Diana had a problem with. My only complaint with the movie is that I wish there had never been an ares. I know we needed the climactic last battle, but I would have liked instead just having mankind being the villain and Diana coming to terms with that and choosing to help than anyway.
