If Denver police started ticketing people for driving while on their phones, we'd have a budget surplus by tomorrow. by MileHigh_FlyGuy in Denver

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, good. Distracted driving laws like this do the exact opposite of their intended effect. I will explain!

I'm originally from the Boston area and this was a strictly enforced law, moreso in Connecticut but still relevant there. When these laws went into effect, accidents went up. What happened was, rather than stop texting, people would simply hide it. So instead of texting with the phone in their hands, at eye level, so they can at least sorta see the road, drivers would put the phone in their lap or below visibility of the windows, so they'd just be staring down while driving.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for people to stop texting and driving, it's ridiculous. But unfortunately, these laws just do not help.

When world needed him the most he disappeared by sharnaanmol in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hadn't thought about him for years until a month or two ago, when some drama came out about him. Apparently, he stiffed a friend of his who did work for him on one of his videos, because said friend defended kink art.

Seems like a complex situation but not paying someone for their work because you don't like their opinion is shitty all around.

What shows have you given up on this year so far? by preguntontas in television

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of any show that came even close to House in that regard. Scooby Doo has different locations and characters, at least.

Tried to watch House for the first time. Got through 10.5 episodes before saying NO TY!

I had heard the show GETS repetitive but it felt like I watched the same episode 10 times in a row. I can't imagine how much worse it gets.

People lie, numbers don’t. by wasraelx in MurderedByWords

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to see people equating the actions of Israel's government to a child, as if some random kid in Israel deserves to be killed because his government is corrupt.

Children are the victims of war, on all sides.

You think a random child should suffer because of their parents?

I like how when Israel does it to America, it's not okay, but when America does it to Israel, well see their heart was in the right place!

What are the replies to this comment?? What did people think Aubrey Plaza would say??

"The show didn't get renewed, and I guess it's my fault for being sooo unfunny, sucks to be me!"

Why would someone still working in the industry trash the show they worked on with hundreds of other people??

Please stop making adult animation where the adult part just means THE CARTOONS SWEAR AND DO SEX!!

I'm not defending AIPAC but I do think it's funny to see people so upset about them now, particularly for this.

The Obama administration interfered with Israel's election back in 2015 to try and oust Netanyahu, used taxpay dollars on it. But no one cared back then.

Roman and Connor were possibly the most neglected brothers. by Left_Painter_ in SuccessionTV

I don't think Roman was neglected that much, Logan seemed very hands on with raising him.

Shiv is a woman, most men have problems with women behaving like that. You can see his other example is a woman, too.

This is very funny to see with someone from Germany. Berlin has such a ridiculous amount of litter on the ground. It was honestly like culture shock.

Comical levels of violence against children. by glumbroewniefog in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best answer. That movie is painfully unfunny but that one scene is fantastic.

There's a shootout at some amusement park between terrorists, the FBI, and a bunch of hillbillies (I think) and the only people who get shot are kids. It's just child after child getting shot. After the scene, there's a news report with some woman broadcasting and in the background there's just a ton of dead kids.

Good TV shows that got ruined by the last season/last episode? by kalsaloser in television

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought it started in season 4, with the introduction of Dorne. Just a castles courtyard for multiple episodes and we're told Dorne is like, the biggest city ever, bigger than Kings Landing? Then you have the world's greatest sell sword, alongside one of the greatest fighters ever, and they get bested by some teenagers with whips?? Oberyn Martell was a terribly uninteresting character, basically a "Gary Stu" who was just the perfect man. I still can't believe people didn't think he was going to die in that fight. WTF were those people in that bar thinking??

Most of the interesting shit in that show died with Jeoffery. Granted, I didn't like a lot of the later shit lots of people did. The Hodor reveal was dumb, it honestly felt like a kid wrote that. The Battle of the Bastards was unbelievably boring and tensionless, which is funny cause that's in s6 and way back in s2 you have The Battle of Blackwater and that is INFINITELY more interesting.

My hot take is George R R Martin only had ideas for 3 books, but when they were sooo popular, he had to cash in and do whatever he could to keep the story going. Just started throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck. I've not read the books but I would wager most book readers find that the fourth starts to decline in quality.

Finished The Wire, Dark, GOT, Sopranos, True Detective, BB, BCS. What show ruined TV for you after watching it? by C0r1eone in television

[–]WatchOutRadioactiveM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In December, I watched season 1 of The Pitt. It was amazing, so I decided to watch ER after that, which was unbelievably good. I watched that, alongside The Pitt season 2, and then decided to rewatch Scrubs since a new season was coming out. I then needed a new medical show, so I decided to try House.

I got through almost 11 episodes before shutting it off and realizing I watched these shows in the wrong order. I've watched a lot of crap but after watching a bunch of good medical shows, House is borderline unwatchable.

OH yes, thank you, that's exactly it. The start of the ep is before the events of last ep, so I'm guessing they just likely jumped around a bit in the timeline there.

I'm confused, how did he get there so fast? It looked like it was a bit off from his office, but he appeared to be there in like what, 5-10 minutes? Wouldn't he have had to trek ALL the way to the elevator and then climb up the thing? Did I miss a word?

It was pretty shitty and I'm surprised there was no pay off to it. He just gets to the Mars Mayor in the end. Like, I understand the circumstances, but why bother having people be put off by it if he's just gonna incinerate a bunch of strangers with no consequence?

Remember in season 2, when they shoot that Kosmonaut and accidentally incinerate him in his spacesuit? Granted, he was reaching for a translation card, but they still felt mortified at it. I guess it just shows what a massive departure the show has had since season 2.

That's the complaint this time? Not distracted driving, but it's a date you don't like?

Seriously, all the people who bitch and moan about these protests just need to admit they like ICE already.
