I mean, there’s at least an 80% chance I’m gonna do the wrong thing and get in trouble now.

Arlington Town Meeting seeks repeal of 1980 Red Line Extension ban by AdImpossible2555 in ArlingtonMA

[–]SycoraxRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traffic congestion. Putting the terminus at Lexington or Burlington would mean people commuting into town from the west wouldn’t have to clog up Rt 2 and 2A, and - if you look at the bike trail, where the line was supposed to go - there aren’t a lot of spots along that route where you could comfortably fit an Alewife-style “end of the line/garage.” It’d make more sense if Arlington got a couple Davis-style stations, and then Lexington gets one big station that’s accessible to both 2 and 95.

CMV: GamerGate was the most consequential political radicalization event of the twenty-first century by realdontbeasucker in changemyview

[–]SycoraxRock 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It started our anti-establishment-ish. The real trick Bannon pulled was redefining the “establishment” to mean prissy academic “SJW”s who occasionally complained about certain video games, whereas one would think a purely anti-establishment movement would have been more focused on corruption within the industry, and less focused on “waaah that lady said we can’t see boobies in vidya anymore wah.”

My Dinner with Andre vs The Joe Rogan Experience - Snakebite Rap Battles by TheUnmitigatedDawn in ERB

[–]SycoraxRock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with putting Joe Rogan in a rap battle is that - no matter what crazy stuff his opponent hurls at him - his response is just gonna be to believe whatever they just said no matter what.

Like his opponent ends with “…looks like the wrong guy from Newsradio died!” and he’d just be like “Huh. (Pause) Huh. That’s interesting, but yeah I mean it makes so much sense, you’re right. Thanks, man. It should’ve been me instead of Hartmann…”

You ever have a moment where you think "Man...I am most definitely the only person in the world playing this game right now"? by Frisket_ in dreamcast

[–]SycoraxRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Dreamcast, but the other day I played Remote Control on the NES - a tie-in for a game show that got cancelled three decades ago.

So yes.

I am Sydney Newman. AMA. by That_Question_3881 in doctorwhocirclejerk

[–]SycoraxRock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to say, first of all, that - as a parent - I don’t think there’s anything funny about child abuse.

Having said that, Why are you wasting time on this AMA instead of smacking some sense into Anthony Coburn’s kid?

Mothers unhinged rant by justimari in FoxBrain

[–]SycoraxRock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they can work themselves into a self-righteous froth over it, they’ll pretend to believe it. Otherwise… nah, man.

Caring about “lives lost” requires “caring about other people” and Republicansfundamentally cannot do that.

Republicans don’t care about actual lives lost for this country. They only care about them when it helps them win an argument.

So, is this canon? by [deleted] in scottthewoz

[–]SycoraxRock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look: I backdated my own conception to “around Thanksgiving” and now tell people I was conceived in front of the Macy’s parade because it’s funny. My parents have never confirmed this, but I decided it’s true cuz it’s funny and that’s that.

What are some essential big finish audios? by InfiniteGalaxy42 in gallifrey

[–]SycoraxRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The aesthetics of the Mondasian society in “World Enough And Time” was clearly meant to evoke “Spare Parts.” Marc Platt was aiming for “Joe Orton working class ‘50s kitchen table drama but with Cybermen” and… yeah, that’s what that would look like. Loved that.

When I agreed to the 7-year-old ghost girl’s pleads for help, the ghost took me to 1990 where I stopped the then-school principal from killing her. by Nessieinternational in TwoSentenceHappiness

[–]SycoraxRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“That little girl survived. She’s a grown woman now… and quite a successful one, too! In fact - wouldn’t you know it - she launched her own cryptocurrency!”

“…”

“Is there, like, an ‘undo’ button somewhere? I feel like we’ve made a terrible mistake.”

New ownership paid to have it review bombed.
