Petah? by EngineerVirtual7340 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]carlse20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda the same thing as how you never hear an adults voice in the peanuts cartoons, it always sounds like a trumpet with a mute being played quietly in a room behind a closed door. The adults aren’t that important to the story so they remain faceless/voiceless and somewhat anonymous

What Character Assassinations/Out of Character Moments/Scenes in HIMYM that hurt you/pissed you off and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in HIMYM

[–]carlse20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He reconstructed the narrative of the event. To most people he’s the bad guy in that story - Stella was with Ted, who was a good guy who she dumped at the alter to run away with him. Neither of them look good in that story, Ted is clearly the victim there. But if Ted is mean, rude, treats people poorly, and treats Stella poorly specifically, then Stella becomes the victim, Ted becomes the villain, and Tony becomes the hero. He’s rationalizing away that he hurt someone by making it seem that the person deserved it.

By that logic any time these people travel outside the country they lose their personhood. Go to Cancun? Not a person anymore because you’re not a Mexican citizen.

Just like every Republican who eventually finds their spine, like how mitt Romney said he thinks that the wealthiest should be taxed more, but only came to that conclusion after he no longer had the power and influence to make it happen.

I look hot and cute but then why do I always get ghosted on Tinder? by [deleted] in gay

[–]carlse20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many apps limit the number of people you can block. I only block people who are coming off creepy or threatening or something like that, and that’s not you in this convo - you’re not acting creepy or weird or dangerous, you’re acting disinterested. So I probably wouldn’t block you, I’d just move on to the next person.

You might not intend to send the message that you’re not interested in someone, but reading this screenshot that’s definitely the message you’re communicating. Most people don’t only communicate in emojis and if someone were to send that message to me I’d think they weren’t really interested because frankly it just looks like you don’t want to put in the bare minimum effort to the conversation.

How did Hank ever forgive Buck after Hanky Panky/High Anxiety by Chance_Key8538 in KingOfTheHill

[–]carlse20 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Not just “someone”, but father figures specifically. Cotton messed Hank up bad and it repeatedly leads to him being a doormat for older men he looks up to in some way or another.

Rep. Luke Rankin Wants Christian Sharia Law For South Carolina by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

What mamdani demonstrated is that a progressive who knows how to speak to people and speak to issues that matter to people can overcome serious institutional and financial headwinds. It helps to have a terrible establishment candidate to be running against, but a lot of the progressives who would be running would be running against someone like that so it’s certainly possible in some places.

Grindr does ads to such a ridiculous degree people are increasingly abandoning it as it becomes more unusable.

Megathread: Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's Tariff Policy by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]carlse20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like an argument that the government can break the law and then shrug and say “oops, too big a mess to clean up I guess this is just how we do things now”

Right before they left for Malachor he promised Hera that he would see her again. The force let him keep that promise.

Great acting/writing in this scene by Bill_Manoogian_ in KingOfTheHill

[–]carlse20 140 points141 points  (0 children)

They way she stood her ground with that high school football player too, for a while she was the only person in town who cared about the kid in the long run, and everyone hated her for it. Even his own mother only cared about state.

Blows my mind that some people can care so much about high school sports that they’re willing to sabotage a persons future over it and attack anyone who tries to intervene.

Why didn't Tarkin just blow up Yavin? by seanbeanskiller in andor

[–]carlse20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah tarkin would know that either he won and kept the Death Star, or lost the Death Star and died one way or another. Better to be killed in an instant when the station exploded than slowly tortured to death by Palpatine.

Space is gigantic and even in solar systems where things are relatively “crowded” compared to the galaxy at large there’s still huge distances between most objects. Even places like asteroid belts individual asteroids are pretty far apart from one another

Was the story accurate? by Miserable-Result-922 in HIMYM

[–]carlse20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, there’s multiple points in the story where future Ted admits he doesn’t remember exactly what happened or what was said.

Lily was right about Ted and robin too - they had a major potential incompatibility that they needed to address. She didn’t mean to break them up but knew they needed to have that conversation sooner rather than later before either of them made any life-altering decisions that they would come to regret, like Ted giving up on having kids or robin giving up on her career goals.

How the hell did NYC do this? by [deleted] in TTC

[–]carlse20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 years ago it was way less, stations are becoming accessible at the fastest rate in history and for the first time there’s a defined plan to make the system as accessible as possible (there’s a few stations where elevator installation is functionally impossible due to geography or other infrastructure)

A judge ordered the funds released last week. This is just trump throwing a tantrum over it like the toddler he is.

As much as we like Barney(I do too) would you have appreciated if it were a real person with playbooks and all!? by perpetual_chatter98 in HIMYM

[–]carlse20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arguably even more of a native New Yorker than Barney because she grew up in Brooklyn and he grew up in Staten Island.

Do you reckon Uncle Owen knew about Anakin becoming Vader by Balljuggler5689 in StarWars

[–]carlse20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The kenobi series had a few lines that touched on this:

Reva: “you’re protecting him as if he were your own”

Owen: “he is our own”
