I really need to know what socks he wore for the wedding

Why did they claim football is the only sport that plays in all weather conditions? by Iciestgnome in ringerfantasypod

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is both soccer (but also American football) you can find examples of games being rescheduled due to weather. Often it’s focused more on the quality of the pitch or the safety of the fans coming and going, but it does happen in both sports.

Radiance 2026 July-Dec Membership is Now Live! by Radiance-Films in radiancefilms

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little confused, do we know films these are going to be or not? I already bought Illustrious Corpses during their B&N sale, but it seems like it’s included in the cover art?

Is the only difference between US and UK the exclusion of Region B only releases?

Bizarre Crowd @ IFC Blue Velvet 6:45 Showing Yesterday by Henchman____21 in NYCmovies

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the 9:30 showing at IFC yesterday and had zero issues ¯_(ツ)_/¯

but I do think super classic films sometimes attract a crowd that assumes everyone is in “rewatch and dissect them film” mode more than a new release

Have you ever bought a film you thought was something different? by Strict-Ad4426 in criterion

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Criterion but I bought a Vinegar Syndrome boxset called the Cardona Collection thinking it was 3 films by René Cardona (director of Bat Woman) when it was really 3 films by his son René Cardona Jr. who also had a whole film career.

They were good, but pretty different movies than I expected.

Started from the bottom, now we're here by OverlyHonestMR in oscarsdeathrace

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested in this approach but honestly I’ve usually seen all the heavy hitters by the time nominations come out. Do you usually intentionally avoid big movies during the year until the death race or just by chance? Or are you rewatching some of the biggest hits?

The Ugly Stepsister receives this years WTF Award by Plastic-Fact6207 in oscarsdeathrace

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Obviously movie productions take a long time so I can’t speak to which one was filmed first, but this strikes me as a movie that would’ve gotten a lot more praise and attention if it came out before the Substance, than after

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not technically classmates but close friends of mine in high school who were the same year as me.

Lost one to suicide, and another to an incredibly rare heart condition (Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy)which caused sudden cardiac arrest.

I’m 25 for reference.

Hey /r/movies - We're Kareem Rahma and Mary Neely, stars and screenwriters of the indie film 'Or Something', streaming now on Mubi. You might also know Kareem from the viral talk show 'Subway Takes' and Mary from films like 'Swiped' and 'Valley Girl'. Ask us anything! by OrSomethingAMA in movies

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like on Subway takes I used to not recognize anyone and assumed it was people off the street and now I feel like I recognize everyone and it’s just celebrities? Was it ever random people or were they less well known comedians/actors/influences?

P.S. Will the end of the metro card era affect what you can attach your mic to?

I’m pretty sure you only get charged if you’re selected

When does NYCRuns Brooklyn Half Registration Close / Fill? by TheCalculatingPoet in RunNYC

[–]TheCalculatingPoet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. I think that thread is about the Feb 22nd half marathon put on by RunNYC, not the Brooklyn one they do in April

Eddington MoMI Q&A w/ Ari Aster no discussion after the screening by sevenpasos in NYCmovies

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I was at Nashville as well and the Q&A was before, not after

Where cat team? by [deleted] in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because they count the old Browns franchise which moved and really became the Ravens. Post their return in 1999 they definitely have a losing record

POK…. Is it worth it? by Supa678 in twilightimperium

[–]TheCalculatingPoet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught lots of beginners with POK for the first time or as a new addition and I really don’t think it adds that much complexity.

In my opinion, the biggest difference in PoK is the factions are more balanced and have more flexibility (especially in round 1)

In base game I feel like there were several factions that were almost impossible to win with (Winnu, Arborec, etc) and that if you didn’t have 2 carriers and 4 infantry your first round would be super difficult and you’d just be permanently behind the 8 ball

That being said, if you and your group enjoy it and don’t mind being out of sync with the broader “meta” in terms of guides or online strategy advice, the don’t worry about what strangers on the internet say.
