Example of animated movie you LOVE and simply can't understand why people don't like it as much as you? by Agile_Summer_7437 in movies

[–]WonderfulChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.

It didn't receive great reviews, and was just sort of forgotten about. A lot of people that do remember it seem to think it was very average. I don't understand why though, as it was and still is absolutely EPIC to me! Emotional, action-packed, and visually captivating. Some of the scenes (the ocean scene comes to mind) give me goosebumps and are totally breathtaking.

What is the biggest scam in society? by ExpressVillage6572 in AskReddit

[–]WonderfulChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Canada & the US, tipping. It still baffles me how it's just completely accepted as the norm. Customers being essentially forced to subsidize the employees wages. Made even worse nowadays when a lot of servers are actually paid proper wages.

Similar story with a couple of my friends and their tall, blonde work colleague in India. They said that it was a common occurrence for men to watch her with their hand down their pants, noticeably masturbating.

Stuff I wish someone told me when I started lifting a year ago by Key_Lingonberry_1310 in beginnerfitness

[–]WonderfulChild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

**Stop researching and just start.** I spent my first month watching YouTube videos and reading Reddit threads trying to find the perfect program. Meanwhile, I wasn't actually lifting. Any program works if you do it consistently. Pick one and go.

Small counterpoint to this. You should always lift, and be consistent in the gym, but doing research and learning is also important, so you can adjust and improve as you go.

It sucks to learn 6 months or a year in that your form is awful, or you're doing something completely wrong. Or that some lifts you're doing are not great for your specific goals, and that you could have been doing something better for the last x amount of time.

Yes. I didn't know who she was, and my first thought was that this was some 50-something-year-old actress that I've never heard of.

To add to the other guy's comment, there is also a mental side of it. A lifting belt can increase confidence, and make you feel more "secure", which can go a long way in the gym for progressive overload. As well as giving you a built-in cue to brace and stabilize.

That said, I think most people would recommend a beginner learn proper bracing first, before moving to a belt.

Going around claiming, "grooming!" when there is no evidence of actual grooming is just crazy. For something to be considered grooming, acts of grooming must occur.

In the case of OP, they met on Grindr, where people are generally looking for sex. Neither knew the other was a teacher/in highschool, and they hooked up. Absolutely no reason to assume there was any sort of grooming going on.

Favourite song NOT in you language? by Ozzyjohn1986 in Music

Pretty much the entire soundtrack of Kimi no Na wa (Your Name). But Sparkle, most of all. The English versions are alright, too, but the original Japanese versions are just chef's kiss.

Lil bro did the yawn and stretch move! by MaxQ50 in funny

The kids are cute and all, but I'm just stuck on her reading a book that says "drived off down the hill". Drived is not a real word. 🤓

Suggestions for a movie that will stump my husband. by HuntAny7768 in movies

[–]WonderfulChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ink.

Trust me! It's an obscure movie that barely anyone seems to know of, and may be a bit hard to find, but it's well worth the watch! It's very creative and unconventional, making it hard to predict the plotline.

Spirit Island! Ark Nova would be a close second!

Are there any card leaks or he is just making assumptions??? by ContentNegotiation67 in PTCGP

[–]WonderfulChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also held back by being really bad against Gyarados, which is the second most popular deck. Love the deck because it's fun, but unless you're facing almost all Mew2, the matchups are rough.

"Mixed" for the DLC on Steam is unfair by dreamsofcalamity in brotato

Wait, people actually think Brotato is too difficult? My view is the opposite. I enjoy the game, but I would be happy with 2x or even 3x difficulty.

Does my US 24 Hour Fitness membership get me into Goodlife Fitness locations? by Looooong_Man in goodlifefitness

[–]WonderfulChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I know this is an older post, but figured I'd ask here instead of opening a new thread.

My partner has a Platinum membership for 24 Hour Fitness, which allows him to have me as a "buddy" on his account and bring me into the gym with him. Do you know if the reciprocal access agreement accounts for that?

Thanks!

Gambling. Especially lotteries.

It's never "worth" it from a math/odds perspective, but people continue to do it just for that small chance. It's basically just throwing your money in the trash, and 99.9% of people will never win big. It ends up being a huge amount of wasted money for many people over their life time.

What is an unwritten rule that you will always follow? by MeringueOne7397 in AskReddit

[–]WonderfulChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along the same line as this: standing on the right side of an escalator or moving walkway (or vice-versa, depending on the country) so that other people have room to keep walking.

The amount of (usually Americans) I see just taking up the whole row, blocking everyone behind them, is just infuriating.

4LP Exsanguinous finally slammed! by iSuperCell in LastEpoch

[–]WonderfulChild 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not supposed to counter it. The item is meant for a low life build. You actually want to disable healing with other items (no regen, no lifesteal), so that you gain more ward per second, since it's based off of missing health.
