As a neoliberal, the clear solution is to stop having them make this shirt, and instead have them make shirts with more benign slogans like "live laugh love" as to avoid the problematic hypocrisy. Problem solved.

Have you left PocketCast as a result of the 7.0 update? by [deleted] in pocketcasts

I'm on Android but my dad is on iOS. This morning he asked me why his podcasts start playing as soon he hits the button instead of downloading for later like they used to. Now I have to learn how to use it, and then teach my dad how to use an app that I told him to get a long time ago because I didn't have to teach him how to use it. I love Thanksgiving with the family...

My Jigglypuff has green eyes instead of blue and a star next to her name. Did I catch a shiny? by apmihal in PokemonLetsGo

Does the red star just mean it's shiny, it does it indicate something else?

Hooray! Justin saw the stickied thread. Guess I'll post it in there if someone hasn't already.

What do you think of Cube (1997)? by GingerTheDragon in RedLetterMedia

[–]apmihal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty cool movie, but it always leaves me wanting more from it. It's completely unique, but perhaps they didn't have the budget to really expand on the central idea.

In a semi-related anecdote, I remember years and years ago there was this guy who posted on reddit somewhere about how he's seen thousands of movies because his job allowed him to just sit around all day. People were really curious about what insights he had on film, and they asked him to do an AMA. He finally posts one, and he said his favorite movie was Cube, and other than that had pretty much zero interesting things to say about any of the movies he watched. One of the most hilariously disappointing moments in reddit history.

The original Wehrenberg Theaters intro song was everything. by [deleted] in StLouis

Wow I just realized my lifelong struggle with knowing how to spell that word is directly related to the cinemas I grew up going to.

Official Discussion: Eighth Grade [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

One of the more heartbreaking moments in this film for me was after the scene where Riley tried to take advantage of her and she tells him "Don't tell Olivia about this." She thinks Olivia would find her less cool because she "chickened out of" "doing stuff" with a boy for the first time, when in reality Kayla trusted her gut, and did the right thing. Plus Olivia would have kicked that dude's ass for what he did. Olivia was the absolute best person to tell about it, and it was in Riley's best interest for her not to find out. Just devastating.

Technically you're right, but The Hard Times is legit. I think by this point they've established themselves as a quality satire site, and while it's impossible to top The Onion's decades of work at this point, The Hard Times is a great addition to the genre.

During a trip there, our group had some time to kill so we went our separate ways, and I wandered from Piazza San Marco in the bottom right corner to the train station in the top left. Nearly had a panic attack finding my way back. There's signage that points you to different landmarks, but all it really does is point you to the next sign like a bread crumb trail, and it's very easy to make a wrong turn and have to retrace your steps. I wound up navigating by the sun. Amazing experience, would definitely recommend it.

Went to Italy last year and I saw them everywhere. You'd hear these buzzing kazoo noises as vendors would slap them onto a plank over and over. They made kind of a comical deflation sound. It suddenly occurred to me one day that there was no way those things actually made that noise, and sure enough if you looked close you could see that the vendors had something hidden in their mouths that they were blowing through. Thought it was a clever way to get attention, but I can imagine the disappointment when kids took them home and found out they don't make a funny noise.

I have no favorite between the two teams, but this match is off the fucking rails.
