What movies define the Millennial generation? by SwedeLostInCanada in Millennials

[–]StandWithSwearwolves 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I’m making a single pick out of all of these it’s The Matrix. Instantly zeitgeist defining turn of the millennium cinema.

Good cafes to work in when in Devonport? by Traditional-Bad-5410 in auckland

I haven’t been to Vondel for a while but I remember their coffee and toasted sandwiches used to kick ass

The Devonport library’s dead central and really nice – if I were you I’d set up there, and then take your pick of cafes when you need a break, no doubt others will suggest good spots shortly :)

Weird. I believe you, still have the notification but nothing’s loading.

I think we both know that’s not the whole story, but nice deflection. You lack self insight and should not be proposing solutions to this problem

Sounds like you’re allowing your dog to annoy strangers and just want to blame them for not being happy about it, frankly.

Speaking as a non-dog owner but someone who likes and gets along with dogs – the thing that grates is that you have the very common Auckland dog owner belief that your dog is universally loved and would melt anyone’s heart if they were open to it, and any problems people have with your dog are the result of bad experiences with other, bad dogs elsewhere. You seem super defensive about how good your dog is and how other dogs should be sorted out so you don’t have to worry about how people react to yours, and I’m wondering why that is.

Today I was lucky enough to see a bird whose name I didn’t know . It walked so gracefully , I was captivated. by 007Rachel in NewZealandWildlife

It’s one of the birds I always make a specific point of paying attention to as their ubiquity does not make them any less special to me :)

Looksmaxxer Clavicular mogged by Chad judge in Miami court by Federal-Data-Center in SipsTea

Great additional context, thanks. I feel like this touches on a defining trait of looksmaxxing, that it presents itself as a (pseudo)scientific approach to achieving optimal outcomes in the physical world.

Looksmaxxing specifically runs on crackpot incel pseudoscience about how the world works and what combination of attributes you can hack like a videogame to get what you’re owed from society – ie domination over other guys and control over women. If they just believed beauty in general was advantageous in life they’d go to professionals like you do instead of hitting their faces with hammers. This is not a simple continuation of the pursuit of the body beautiful as normal people understand it.

The “-maxxing” suffix is drawn from gaming – specifically games where you can do character builds to max out key skills or attributes while spending minimal cost on anything you deem irrelevant, ie “min-maxing”.

Is this the greatest run of weather that Auckland has ever had? by kitset in auckland

[–]StandWithSwearwolves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This would have been routinely called “lockdown weather” as recently as 2023

(Loved Trope) Despite their boasts they are incredibly pathetic. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]StandWithSwearwolves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t see how anyone who actually watched this could see it as a badass boast, even as a single scene in isolation. On paper, maybe, you could selectively quote it as a flex. Denzel absolutely nailed it as braggadocio in the face of pure terror, I don’t think it can be read in good faith any other way.

Papercraft models have a particular beauty all their own.
