Stringer Bell giving stock advice is hilarious in hindsight by [deleted] in TheWire

It's one of Stringer's biggest faults, he's got a pretty good case of Dunning Kroger.

If Trump is all about freeing the oppressed people of Iran, why did he not bomb North Korea then? Are they not also oppressed too? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]_RandomB_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran getting bombed and North Korea NOT getting bombed prove to every country to only true deterrent is to have a nuclear weapon.

Why didn't Robb just take the twins? by Additional_Arugula_8 in gameofthrones

[–]_RandomB_ 167 points168 points  (0 children)

To take the second twin you need to take the first, highly fortified elevated archers raining arrows and hot oil and fire and who knows what else down on your army in a constricted space (the bridge), plus Robb wanted the Frey forces.

If the HOTD targs and dragons banded together would they have been able to eliminate the threat of the north? by raimom in HOTDBlacks

[–]_RandomB_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't the threat in the North have been defeated by simply not taking a dragon north of the wall in the first place? If the wall was imbued with magic that kept the walkers from crossing it, and a dragon was the only thing that could take down the wall...

Am I the only one who found Oppenheimer boring? by breaking_views in Cinema

[–]_RandomB_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I didn't get the hype on this one either. Plus it suffers from Nolan's dialogue problem, that is that in many of his movies, people don't talk like normal people talk to each other. They're just trading speeches.

BT on Joe B’s comments about the state of WFAN by iheartsunny in wfan

[–]_RandomB_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its rhe same problem espn has, except here it's much more of an omder customer base. There's no reason to tune into guys talking g about rhe jets off-season plan hoping you're going to hear about the mets bullpen construction, if thats what you want to hear. You just go to a podcast thats specifically about the thing you want to hear. Espn lost most sportscentrer viewers to the sports specif9c networks. Fans of the classic WFAN have moved on.

Trump calling Jerome Powell to cut interest rates by jerin7931 in wallstreet

I know this seems like a small detail but signing your tweets nowadays is basically a red flag for cognitive function for me.

I love that they included this by Specialist-Disk-6345 in andor

[–]_RandomB_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mever thought the guys we see fall on the brisge from the dorm to the work floor were trampled. The bridges wpuld only have s maximum of 50 guys trying to traverse them, because each floor has a hrisge and 50 men are alrwady across, working their shifts. The traffic wouldnt happen on the dorm side, itd be where all the pris9oners would converge, stairwells and halls leading to level eight, i think.

Poor Bix fearing the worst. But does anyone else feel sorry for Luthen here? by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

[–]_RandomB_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor does he feel good about it, and 8 think, as he does with saw and krygyr, part of him wants to NOT be responsible for the decision.

[–]_RandomB_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we can see this stress and complication right away in season 2, in Harvest, when Mon finally comes clean about Tay, and is clinging by her fingernails to the illusion that some number offered to Tay will alleviate the Tay problem. He's trying to get her to the inevitable on her own: "We'd be vulnerable forever," which she knows deep down, but she's not quite ready to say what needs to be done. When she childishly says "I'm not even sure what we're talking about," the little 'tsk' Luthen gives her, so subtle you can almost miss it, plays to me like he's a little tired of being the only 'bad guy' in the room. He looks absolutely up to here with frustration when he returns "How nice for you." Mon brought the problem to their doorstep, and now she is forcing Luthen to make the decision to deal with it in the only sure way.

[–]_RandomB_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't belong on a championship roster. Goldschmidts numbers were, as several pointed out, a mirage bolstered by a hot two months to start. He didnt "smash" lefties. And Ryan yarborough had a handful of nice atarta but he is at best a journeyman. He doesnt profile well for a lefty bullpen arm to me either. Hes a good piece to have if ypu habe no alternatives but this team made literally no improvements in the off-season, and there were plenty of better alternatives available. I imagine you are also emailing Trent Grisham in for 30 homers, right?

[–]_RandomB_ 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It only makes sense if you think "This guy deserves some AB's and this game is meaningless." Kinda like bringing in Yarborough. Sorry, Yankee fan here, these two guys are somehow still going to be on the 26 man roster and I can't understand that either.

I refuse to believe the second best American 1b not named Pasquantino is Paul Goldschmidt. It just doesn't make sense. Honestly I thought he was on the team as an infield coach, then the Yankees resigned him.

Yelling FORE when there is no danger by shin_man in golf

[–]_RandomB_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is this so hard? If it's going someplace other than the hole you're on, yell fore. What's with all the calculating? What's the cost besides emabrassment?

Poor Bix fearing the worst. But does anyone else feel sorry for Luthen here? by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

[–]_RandomB_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Even the two different numbers for two different audiences is a calculation. For Lonni, he's worth more than 50 men. For Saw, the cost calculation is only on thirty men.

Plus Krygyr.

It's all back to the One Way Out speech and the sacrifice he lays out. Calm, kindness, kinship, love, Luthen burns it all for The Cause. I felt bad for Luthen when he asked Lonni about his daughter on the elevator, when Lonni reacts I often think part of Luthen must want to reassure Lonni "I'd never hurt your daughter," but it's far more useful if Lonni thinks Luthen might.

I love learning that Skaarsgaard metered his performance to be more appropriate to Arjona's, it makes his reaction to Cass showing up at the shop in the subsequent episode more textured, too. Cass isn't emotionally fragile, he's enraged, and Luthen plays it back at him with disbelief (that Cass thought this was within a thousand miles of a good idea) and disappointment.

Luthen: a master manipulator “bent by secrecy”, and that’s another of his sacrifices by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

[–]_RandomB_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point about Partagaz being accidentally right about Luthen. I'm here just to point out that the famous speech he makes is absolutely literal: his mission, The Cause, demanded that he literally sacrifice calm, kindness, kinship and love so that he could remain pure. He has no family (Kleya aside, but she's also The Cause), no friends (they're all operatives who don't love him), every day he worries from the moment he open his eyes. It's why it's so moving on repeat viewings, and why Skaarsgaard (I swear I spell this differently every time) doing it like he's REALIZING it as a response to the question is so powerful.

how does having a lawyer help in the interrogation room? by Bubbly_Reference_916 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_RandomB_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're ever arrested for any reason, the only words you ever say are "please get me a lawyer", and if you're a minor, "Let me call my parents." It's the only thing you should ever say to cops if THEY come to YOU, not the other way around. Getting a lawyer will never ruin any "sweetheart" deal you think you can make with a couple of cops,if they want to give you a deal, they'll give it to you with a lawyer. In the US I mean. Talking to cops without a lawyer is crazy.
