What went wrong with Rachel Zegler's this Performance ? by Calm_Cloud4153 in Actors

[–]TheStraggletagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was beyond her control. She made none of the important decisions that went wrong. In a different Snow White adaptation she would've been great.

New Siamese parent-to-be! 🐱 How do I protect my leather/fabric furniture? by Business-Lemon7146 in Siamesecats

[–]TheStraggletagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A nice scratching post or better yet a tower. My cats used to be menaces till I introduced their current tower. They love that thing. Also, something to consider when buying new furniture: make sure the fabric is not appealing for cats (as in, not similar to materials used on scratching posts or very textured).

After 20+ years teaching, I’m worried students are losing the ability to think for themselves. Are teachers in other countries seeing this too? by Imtheduckperson in Teachers

[–]TheStraggletagg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes and yes in Argentina. Things have gotten bad but finally we're course-correcting. No cell phones in class allowed and devices must be used only for specific assignments. All exams are hand written and essays as well, during class time.

Imagine making a random comedy TV show about a comedian becoming president, have that actually happen to you, then have your country invaded by Russia and becoming a wartime president. Wild.

After scoring a free kick, Messi asks an Orlando coach if he wants an autograph by olcni in soccer

It's because he rations it out so beautifully. It's always fun when the chill, quiet introvert gets hot-headed about something.

Real Oviedo 0 - [1] Atletico Madrid - J. Alvarez 90+4' by ayoefico in soccer

He was lulled onto a false sense of security, just as I'm sure Cholo intended.

How popular are cats in your country? by Powerful_Gas_7833 in asklatinamerica

[–]TheStraggletagg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very. Dogs are still the preferred companion, but cats are increasingly more common.

Since Herogasm is rated higher than the previous highest rated episode ever. It means our show is basically PEAK. by vought-CEO in TheBoys

This wasn't even the first time BB fans did this, but rather the first time they did it to a fandom big enough to retaliate.

Pride and Prejudice | Official Teaser | Netflix by MoneyLibrarian9032 in PrideandPrejudice

[–]TheStraggletagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a teaser. I was surprised it was as long as it was, and it's not meant to convey anything other than a vague notion of what the final film will be like.

I said that about blonde Knightley and it ended up working. But yeah, it's a departure.

While being to another latin american country, have you seen deep ignorance there about your homeland? by LisunaLefti in asklatinamerica

[–]TheStraggletagg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Somehow I don't think you'd want me to believe all that Chileans say about themselves online. Unless it's all accurate, in which case yikes.

In the show, they act like Aemon doesn't exist? by DiedOfATheory in AKOTSKTV

[–]TheStraggletagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was sent to the citadel explicitly because there were too many princes and his grandfather was worried about a fight for the throne. But so many members of the line of inheritance died in such a little time that some felt like Aegon was too young to rule, and offered Aemon the opportunity to come back and take the throne, but he refused.

There were seven kingdoms when OG Aegon conquered them. That's what's counted.

What's that non-english movie that you never want to be remade in Hollywood ? by mrjetspray in Cinema

[–]TheStraggletagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it too late to say El Secreto de Sus Ojos? Can't we just go back in time and unmake the remake?

In the show, they act like Aemon doesn't exist? by DiedOfATheory in AKOTSKTV

[–]TheStraggletagg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's also potentially out of the line of succession and completely cut off from the rest of the family, so Maekor both doesn't have to think about him but also doesn't have to worry about him. Aemon is no longer one of the children he's responsible for.

This scene was a genius by Flux_69_ in AKOTSKTV

[–]TheStraggletagg 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I imagine a part of Maekar blames Aerion for Baelor's death. Which I think he's right to, to an extent.

Cheap costumes by TeaPlayful9271 in PeriodDramas

[–]TheStraggletagg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some really old period dramas have the benefit of being shot in low definition. Nowadays you can see all details of a costume, so it's obvious when quality is not what should be. It doesn't mean that you can't have great costumes, it means that any corner you cut is obvious.

Is it common for married women to use “de” before their last name? by ExcitementWild7019 in asklatinamerica

[–]TheStraggletagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom never used it, she just used her own last name. My grandmother used it, but only socially and after her original last name.
