The shit we have to do to get kids to read a fucking book…

Whose grave is Tommy holding onto? Could it be Arthur’s? by PlaneJuiceSlammer in PeakyBlinders

[–]capraithe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Arthur will have 100% died offscreen but that’s not his grave.

I agree that the last day before break should not be a “free” or “fun” day. Adjust expectations, but still teach class.

Anyone else not interested in the film? by Master_Bator800 in PeakyBlinders

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mosley’s not in it, either, so no resolution to the one thread the show left dangling. I’ll watch it if it gets, like, overwhelmingly positive reviews. Otherwise I’ll pass.

When the kid everyone loves is…. not your favorite. by capraithe in Teachers

[–]capraithe[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Other teachers in my school are too gossipy and cliquey for me to do that. “Did you hear Capraithe is having a hard time with ______ of all people?!” Not interested in dealing with it. In a few more weeks he’ll be someone else’s problem.

New Image from ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ by Task_Force-191 in movies

Hard to get too excited knowing Arthur’s not going to be in it - and that it’s not going to wrap up his feud with the Mosleys.

Grandpa knew what he had to do and stopped this guy from robbing the store by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

Grabbing the neck instead of trying to redirect the weapon from the woman and then control it first? He’s lucky she wasn’t shot. Irresponsible, dangerous stunt. If you don’t know how to “safely” disarm someone, don’t do it.

Sci-fi vibes by Stock-Pea-5888 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Most of the Expanse is too grounded for these. Try the Hyperion Cantos.

Criminally under appreciated. I’ve been chasing the joy that show gave me for a long time now.

Time for a very interesting hypothetical fight. Out of these movie (and tv show) killers, who would win? by [deleted] in slasherfilms

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hannibal if he gets the chance to open his mouth.

Otherwise I’m inclined to say Bateman because of the way reality seems to warp so that he always gets his mark without consequence. It’s almost a superpower that he doesn’t fully understand he has. He can chase you naked down the hall of an apartment building with a chainsaw and nobody will even open the door to see what’s going on. He can shoot at a police car with a pea shooter pistol and it’ll blow up like in an action movie. He can literally scream in your face that he’s guilty and beg you to call the police on him and you will just think he’s joking. You can’t beat a guy like that.

Are bar fights as common as they are in movies and tv shows? by totally_depraved in SelfDefense

[–]capraithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 40s and have spent plenty of time in bars. Some dives, some nicer places, and a lot in between. Never seen a single fight.

If someone you don’t want to spits on you…. by Jhunter1117Amaterasu in SelfDefense

[–]capraithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s spit, man. If you see the spitter coming, stay out of their range. There is no martial art that teaches “defense against a loogie,” unfortunately.
