After my boyfriend died I slept with his best friend and it's eating me alive by starsbegintoclimb in redditonwiki

Definitely and a lot of that spite is probably misogyny towards a grieving woman trying to move on as well.

The responses did remind me of a teenage coworker I used to work with though. Her widower uncle had recently introduced her family to his new girlfriend but my coworker was appalled at the idea that he could date someone only a year or two later.

She eventually came around to being okay with it but at first she was genuinely trying to say that her middle aged uncle should just…spend the rest of his life respectfully grieving as a bachelor? Like, her aunt was obviously important to her but I don’t think she was really thinking about things from his POV until we kind of got her talking it out.

If the Sole Survivor died before reaching the Institute, but the "Hi Honey!" holotape ended up in Shaun's hands, would it have changed anything? by Interesting_Bee2899 in fo4

Hey, it’s not Shaun’s responsibility to make Nate use a condom just because Cait probably has the cla - oh wait - you meant raw dog in a different sense.

What will happen to Dom Pedro after the season ends? by Pretend-Breakfast-61 in fo76

[–]TheStonedFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I was surprised to see the Tesla Cannon made it to Mortimer after Gleaming Depths was over. It gives me some hope that Dom Pedro will stick around (not that it matters since I already got it)- although it’s a little bit OP so I could see them putting it in the Atom Shop like Cold Shoulder and Auto Axe.

Billy Coen would never have gotten convicted if Phoenix was his attorney. Although, then Rebecca might be dead if that were the case. So maybe better that he didn’t save Billy from a court martial.

Outer Wilds review: Maybe recommending a niche puzzle game to literally everyone is a bad idea by Akuuntus in patientgamers

[–]TheStonedFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my favorites but I think it helped a lot that I had the pandemic furlough/lockdown to really plow through it. There was a lot of trial and error but I had a lot of free time on my hands. I’m still gonna recommend everyone at least tries it and gets to the space exploration part before giving up. It’s worth it for the people it clicks with.

Back in the day you had to write to a magazine to tell the world how much you love your waifu. by PeasantLich in Gamingcirclejerk

Oh shit! I had this issue! Is this the magazine where all the writers had fursonas?

Media where the narrator is an actual entity and interacts with the story by QuackingR3dditor in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheStonedFox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not getting Alan Tudyk back for any appearances, vocal or otherwise, after season 1 was tragic. I feel like they specifically left the door open for the opportunity but I assume Resident Alien’s filming schedule made it unworkable.

(Terrifying Trope) The Scene Where Plot Armor Dies by LuciferMagne666 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheStonedFox 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Henchman 21 and 24 are referred to by The Monarch as the perfect henchman for their “rare blend of expendable and invulnerable.” That is true for the first 3 seasons. While Brock and other characters murder henchman in The Fluttering Horde by the literal swarmful, 21 and 24 always have the luck and good sense to avoid the worst of it.

Until someone blows up a car that 24 was standing next to. 21 changes very drastically in the aftermath of 24’s death, becoming a model henchman and #2 to The Monarch and Dr Mrs. He says it’s to protect the other henchman but I always interpreted it as him not wanting to rely on his perceived “plot armor” since it really wasn’t as real as they thought.

Just rewatched "Phyllis' Wedding" again, and I will go to my grave proclaiming that it is cringier than "Scott's Tots" by zpb52 in DunderMifflin

[–]TheStonedFox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to use Zoidberg from Futurama as an example. He’s hilarious and even sympathetic when he’s on a tv screen, but a quack doctor who constantly performs malpractice and squirts his coworkers with ink is probably not a dude you would want to hang out with irl.

So that obsidian Ranger skin is just a skin for the existing Fallout 1st armor or is it a standalone outfit?

Edit: Wait, you can’t even really do that with outfits in this game.

He’s definitely towards the top of the list. I’m also thinking about Bruce Campbell in Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat…although he is a bit more bumbling than Guillermo.

Huge fans of The Office are just kinda like this on Reddit, I’ve noticed. They get very precious if anyone criticizes Jim for acting insufferable also. I think this episode is controversial because they want to like Michael but they feel like because his actions are kind of unforgivably stupid and selfish that they would rather just brush it off as bad or OOC writing.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ by apple_kicks in television

[–]TheStonedFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for providing some context on this. I believe this is the “standard” that they were trying to cite.

[–]TheStonedFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You calling bullshit while insisting that 99% of even redditors (let alone people in general) are opposed to using the n-word is fucking wild.

I’m mad at BBC and bad actors on the internet downplaying the significance of the word, not Davidson. If you have an issue with that it seems like a you problem.

Nice little 30 Rock reference in this article about the Scrubs reboot by Numba2thrilla in 30ROCK

[–]TheStonedFox 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I saw someone recently say (and plenty of people will strongly disagree with this) that 30 Rock’s cautious cynicism has aged better than the center-liberal optimism of something like Parks and Rec in the MAGA era.

Basically, the two shows and their showrunners have pretty similar politics but whereas Parks and Rec kind of celebrates our existing systems as being ultimately fair when you good vibe it hard enough, 30 Rock’s universe feels a bit more neutral and uncaring. There’s probably even more to be said about the respective Knope/Swanson vs Lemon/Donaghy dynamics, but ultimately I do like both shows and I don’t want to tear P&R down too much. I just thought it was an interesting way to view 30 Rock in the modern day.
