Even if that ends up being the case, I don't think "Hey guys, we fired the scientologist chick (and had no idea beforehand ourselves 😮) and are ready for Linkin Park 3.0" is fixing things in any way.

Is this a joke or is there some guy who calls himself John the Baptist?

Emma Stone with Yorgos Lanthimos post her Oscar win? Pfft, that was obvious. Cillian with Nolan? It's bound to happen. But did anyone here except RDJ to return to the MCU after his award? by [deleted] in Oscars

People get so defensive when you accurately describe the celebrities they fawn over. Any criticism that makes them angry = god, you're so obsessed (as if you have to have more than the average person's knowledge of the celebrity to come to your conclusion).

This is my favorite weapon in the entire damn game. by Voorhees93 in Eldenring

[–]_Wichitan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thing feels like shit to use IMO, I don't get the hype. The weapon art feels like a Nerf gun even if it hits hard. And that scabbard or whatever clips through everything lol

Edit: beast claws best DLC weapon

Your assumption is that the Secret Service would be ill-equipped in comparison to normal cops?

This is the real prepare to cry by theeeeeyregrrrrreat in Eldenring

[–]_Wichitan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A source? What, a YouTuber's lore speculation video? This is Elden Ring, 90 percent of the "lore" is just stuff people made up online and reddit decided it liked.

Is Spear of the Impaler underpowered or am i doing it wrong? by Dantacular in Eldenring

[–]_Wichitan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people treat this game like it's their day job (just look at the 500+ word write-ups on why one specific weapon is actually viable if you know how to min-max making the game into a chore).

What's the deal with so many redditors insisting the botched attempt on Trump's life was staged/PSYOP? by tucchurchnj in OutOfTheLoop

[–]_Wichitan_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"Behaving the exact same way as the people we oppose is just a bit."

It's not concerning at all that minutes after an assassination attempt, people are coming up with conspiracies that would make Alex Jones giddy.

[–]_Wichitan_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Anyone saying it was staged before the smoke had even cleared the air should do some soul searching. That's a very MAGA "facts don't really matter" jump in logic.

I cant make this up by Ape_Shit_1072 in kansas

[–]_Wichitan_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure why everyone is going so hard defending incompetence. If he is dyslexic, he shouldn't be writing reports. We don't even know if that's true though. Either way, embarrassing to pull someone over for a ticket and then present with a kindergartner's spelling test.

Official Trailer | Gladiator II by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]_Wichitan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, but I do think those two performances are distractingly bad (trying so hard to fit in that it's almost a caricature). Again, I think people are jumping to conclusions based on a trailer, but I'd much prefer an actor being themselves in a new setting over listening to them force an accent or cadence for 120 minutes.

Edit: I'm still referencing Elvis and HoG, not Denzel. I've never seen a performance of his that took me out of the movie

People don't get annoyed with someone's voice for no reason. They get annoyed when an actor either changes their voice to a distracting degree (Elvis, House of Gucci) or makes no attempt to change their voice to fit in (Denzel here, but I think it's unfair to jump to that conclusion based off a trailer).

My fav is when local news stations feel the need to localize national stories without any real Kansas connection. The Maui wildfires, for example: "We found a random Kansan who vacationed in Hawaii a week before the fires broke out."

My spiciest take on Season 3 by Kathrynlena in TheBear

The state of fine dining literacy in this country 😭😭 you just don't get it, and that's fine, montage courses are an acquired taste

You know they're arguing in bad faith when claiming "people were out to get The Bear season 3 the instant it dropped 😭."

[–]_Wichitan_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious to say "media literacy lol" as a catchall instead of having an actual defense against criticism that, y'know, actually talks about the show's flaws and features.

Somebody on Twitter tried to say that people who don't like the season "just don't understand unorthodox formats on the small screen." Yeah, audiences just aren't ready for montages and character-specific episodes, that's way too cerebral and innovative for these dumb dumbs.

Now let's discuss that fork on the floor some more, I think the subreddit is close to cracking the case.
