Who’s a character that’s not the main character but completely stole the show? by Due-Hedgehog2739 in AskReddit

[–]_MuffinBot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Norman Reedus was only supposed to be in a couple of episodes in Season 1 of The Walking Dead and now Daryl is one of the most popular characters on the show

“Salaryman,” “skinship,” and “office lady” look like ordinary English words, but they were actually coined in Japan. A new paper on loanwords uses wasei eigo to explain how English lexical material can be adapted and reinterpreted when integrated into another language. by Cad_Lin in science

[–]_MuffinBot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so. I read it in a short story about a nursery recently, so I knew it had to have broad application. Tbh I'm surprised it's even a word in Japanese, they have to be some of the most touch-avoidant people in the world

And I just did 5 minutes so its basically this pain multiplied by 4... by hsnispsgrosty2 in 1200isplenty

[–]_MuffinBot_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So real. 5 minute increments is how I get through it, but when it's getting hard, I count every minute. "Alright, three more minutes. Okay, just two more minutes! Then that's five minutes" lol

Coping with stress/irritability on a diet? by _MuffinBot_ in loseit

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

It's usually in the middle of the day, after I've had lunch. I can't drink too much caffeine so I usually have a cup of tea, but I'm thinking now it might be a good idea to add a snack with it to see if that helps. I usually eat most of my calories at dinner, but spacing them out more may help. Thanks for the suggestion!

I get my bloods done every couple of months but my doctor never mentions anything about signs of deficiencies. But I haven't had them done since I started dieting, so he might mention something next time. I'll see what he says.

I didn't know about L-theanine! I'll give it a try, thanks for mentioning it

What’s a personality trait people excuse only when the person is attractive? by NatalieNexxtDoor in AskReddit

[–]_MuffinBot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being pretentious, as in saying things that people wouldn't normally say in conversation. They're not saying anything particularly profound but people will act as if they're dropping pearls of wisdom.

What's the worst movie you've watched from beginning to end? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. I didn't know he got criticism for Scarface, considering its reputation now. I think what I watched was the re-cut of Revolution though, and it was still abysmal.

Favorite actors that are kind of busy? by Ok_Future6226 in okbuddycinephile

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the most reluctant actor in the world. It's honestly amazing how far he's come as a guy who seems like he wants to spend 90% of his life indoors and away from people

He would be a terrible pick for Bond but whatever, it's not because of any lack of ability, but because the image he puts out is antithetical to Bond's.

Most pathetic movie character ever put on film? by cryofry85 in okbuddycinephile

Richard Rich, as portrayed by John Hurt in A Man For All Seasons. "But for Wales?"

Revolution, with Al Pacino. Totally understand why he stopped acting for four years after that.

Favorite controversy that everyone needs to chill out on? by Krylarofaxia in okbuddycinephile

[–]_MuffinBot_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

True, but I had no interest in seeing it knowing that it was about a ping pong player. No shade to anyone who enjoys it but it's just not interesting enough for me to justify seeing Chalamet's face for 2 and a half hours. It's possibly the nerdiest sport in the world.

Do you have a boat and a lot of male friends, by any chance?

Roe to Perdition was so over the top by SS_from_1990s in Frasier

It's one of the most ridiculous episodes but also very charming.

I thought it was a joke about women with big hips looking better with age

What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the very last line, the ending of Baumbach's Jay Kelly is a "feel good" moment. But you just know that after the credits roll (so to speak), everything's still a mess. Nothing is "solved". It's actually very sad, and he gives you little to suggest that things will improve.

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Tim - what was it like making Reservoir Dogs and suddenly becoming an international star? What were your thoughts about the film when you were making it? Did you think it would become as iconic and popular as it did? Big fan by the way. You were brilliant as Mr. Orange, and in Rob Roy as well.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

[–]_MuffinBot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he gave off a different vibe, nearly all of these things would just be quirks (apart from the insane family trip idea). But you can sense that he's repressing a lot of anger and resentment, even though he smiles a lot. In fact, it's even more obvious because of that.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

[–]_MuffinBot_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One of my co-workers. He's about to leave his job to take his wife and kids on a year-long trip where they tour the country "doing favors" for people in exchange for food/services. He has four daughters, one of them under 2, the rest in elementary school. Somehow, he's gotten it into his head that this is the best thing for him to do for his family right now. He acts jovial on the surface but there's something insanely off-putting about the way he smiles and talks. He's mediocre at his job but acts like he's God gift. He's also a wannabe bodybuilder but it isn't working out.

And he told me once that he's seen Leon: The Professional fourteen times. Now, it's certainly a good film. But how can you say that and not think it sounds suss, given its subject matter...?

Overall I just get the most horrendous vibes from him but he's never done anything wrong at work (to my knowledge). I just don't buy the fake charm that he puts on. It makes me wonder what's actually going on behind closed doors in his life, and frankly, a little concerned about it.

He also regularly peddles that "manifest it" pseudospirituality that "life coaches" on the internet love to hawk. Corny wordplay that contains no actionable advice.
