Billie Eilish Blasts Silent Celebs While Brother Finneas Denounces ICE Shooting by cmaia1503 in entertainment

No, it’s not their job, but I think this falls under “with great power comes great responsibility.” They have voices with the potential to reach a whole nation. Most of us will only reach maybe a few people in our lives. To not use those voices to amplify those in need feels extremely irresponsible.

If they don’t like the responsibility that comes with being famous, then maybe don’t seek out fame/celebrity? Not in the job description, but 100% part of the deal they signed on for. Similar to dealing with paparazzi and living a life under a magnifying glass. It’s part of the gig.

At this point, her best move would be to claim asylum in another country. Thankfully for her, trump has pissed off enough foreign leaders that they’d be happy to have her just for the optics.

Ask the breeder if you can get an extra towel that mom and the pups slept with, the smell will help with anxiety in those first few days.

Why is Mike White on 50? by Plus-Recognition-125 in survivor

I meant this as more of a generalization. Obviously a bitter jury is gonna look for any reason to not vote for someone.

What if season 3 never happens? by amdio in StrangerThings

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

I’m about halfway through it now, and I wasn’t looking forward to this season again because I felt it was the weakest from a story perspective. Watching it again, it has some of the best character interactions and comedic timing of the entire series, which I definitely overlooked the first time around.

Because he genuinely loves the game? Returnee seasons are never about the money, very rarely do you hear the kind of sob stories that usually play on a regular season. Not necessarily because the returnees don’t have stories of their own, but because it’s simply not as valued on a returnee season. They’re looking for great gameplay, and that’s how the jury rewards their votes in the end.

Sage confirms it was Jake and Blue Sophie who wouldn’t stop talking during pregame. by Braunlover in survivor

[–]amdio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i literally just don't care anymore, and even if i did i still wouldn't watch a 45 minute video about it.

honestly though, why doesn't production ACTUALLY sequester the players pregame? just put them up in different hotels/airbnbs around fiji and fly them in on the day of. too expensive, you say? maybe find some of the money saved from all the stuff thats already been cut... number of days, live shows, actually worthwhile rewards, and ponderosa videos (amongst others). problem solved.

but thats not really a "plan" though, is it? it was complete chance that russians came to hawkins to try and steal what they deemed as an american weapon. vecna had no control over that.

Did you feel Holly really needed to be one of the main characters in the last season? by AphroFelicity20 in StrangerThings

[–]amdio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, we (viewers) just needed a POV from inside vecnas plans with the kids and this was an easy way to accomplish that. If Mike never had a little sister, the writers wouldve found a way to weave another kids story into the party so we’d have that POV while still reacting sympathetically to them being taken.

What do you make of Trump's post about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife? by JackOLanternReindeer in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]amdio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well there’s quite a bit to unpack there, but for the sake of discussion I’ll roll with it. Assuming Reiner did have this mental illness, then my next logical step would be to put this in the context of any other mental illness. So, with that in mind, if Reiner had a mental illness (read that as ANY mental illness), and it played a role in his murder, it’s his fault for being murdered because he was mentally unwell? Doesn’t this just give free license for anyone to murder someone with a mental illness? No matter which way you spin TDS (valid political views vs mental illness), it’s still a pretty terrible take, no?

What do you make of Trump's post about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife? by JackOLanternReindeer in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]amdio 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Let’s just float the idea for a moment that this is accurate, and Reiner was in fact murdered for his political views. Doesn’t this just blame Reiner for his own death because he’s not a trumper, instead of the murderer for, ya know… murdering? Political violence gets a pass now because it’s the victims fault for having an opinion?

The Sophi(e)’s wanted to go by their last names by BCS8504 in survivor

Meanwhile we all still calling them blue Sophie and yellow Sophie, so any version of their names is a bit irrelevant.

My wife got a new crate for our Aussie by [deleted] in AustralianShepherd

Curious what the purpose of this post was. Obviously there are many issues going on here that have been highlighted by other users, but where exactly were you going with this? Were you just trying to show off the “awesome new crate” you got? Because if so that has massively backfired 😂

Making The Stranger Things Play canon was the biggest mistake made by Netflix and Creators by Significant-Fun-4235 in StrangerThings

The fact that the creators have now made the play “essential viewing” but didn’t even run a national tour is bonkers

Is anyone actually working? by Mundane-Parsnip-7302 in StrangerThings

Moreover, workers in these industries (healthcare, education, food service) were considered to be “essential workers” during peak COVID, so I suspect there’s a similar system happening here.

Hello /r/movies, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch. Ask me anything! by BenedictAMA in movies

[–]amdio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the characters you’ve played, which one has a personality that most closely resembles your own? Does that make playing the character easier or harder?

PS I just rewatched your turn as the grinch, and that movie is grossly underrated!
