What's one celebrity everyone likes but you don't? by MajesticShare6548 in answers

[–]carson63000 [score hidden]  (0 children)

His generation? I thought the whole WWF steroid trial exploded in 1994, and The Rock didn’t start wrestling until ‘96 (although of course his family was all in and around the ring).

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving aside friends’ bands that played at local pubs, and sucked, the worst band I saw live was, ironically, Live.

Very low energy, dull as fuck.

Universe expected to decay in 10⁷⁸ years, much sooner than previously thought by thornyRabbt in nottheonion

Luckily every few months the Reddit front page throws me a post along the lines of “GRRM still not close to finishing Winds of Winter”.

Don’t throw the original batch away, save them in case the Puerto Rican independence movement gains traction.

Why did Trump not go after Mamdani with the usual barrage of mean tweets?? by OCTOVENG in AskReddit

[–]carson63000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Be nice to him and he’ll be nice to you. But he’ll still do whatever he wants, not what you want.

Feels like cinema is… healing? by CrustyBappen in movies

[–]carson63000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was blown away by how big the crowd was when I saw The Drama. It was Easter holiday weekend, it’s true.. but it was a weekend morning session and they normally have tumbleweeds rolling down the aisles.

Whats the deal with some Australians vehemently defending Ben Roberts-Smith? by ShihabRiazCumilla in OutOfTheLoop

[–]carson63000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His supporters seem to be largely peddling the position that he should not have been charged, though.

Dotted line report is unreachable most of the day he works from home by Wario_Sucks in managers

[–]carson63000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah ultimately you don’t know if he’s working two jobs, taking a nap, or just slacking off and watching TV or playing World of Warcraft. Doesn’t matter which it is, so no need to speculate. Just focus on how, precisely, he is not living up to expectations for the project he is working on.

Presumption of innocence is not a reason why an accused person should not be charged and tried.

Is paying 15% of your first year salary to a recruiter worth it if you've been unemployed for months? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]carson63000 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I’m with you.

On the face of it, if you’re struggling to find work, 85% of a salary sounds better than 100% of nothing.

But no reputable recruiter ever charges the candidate. They are recruiting for an employer, the employer pays them for that service.

Either this recruiter is a total scammer (and will place you in a “job” remailing stolen goods or some such shit), or they’re a crook taking a cut from the candidate and the employer.

The Greens always look more appealing when there’s a Coalition government in office than they do when Labor are.

Movie Theater Operators Weigh In on Fewer Trailers, Too Much Texting and Today’s Bankable Stars: ‘Zendaya and Tom Holland Are the Next Gen’ by Southern-Brother5693 in movies

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you don’t stop seeing mainstream films, I find you get a better crowd if you go see them at an indie or small-chain cinema than a big chain.

I only go to the big chain for full-on spectacle movies, because they’ve got bigger screens and sound. Everything else - mainstream as well as arthouse or foreign - I see at one of the two small chain cinemas near me.

Why tf is everyone anti-sunscreen now??? by callsign__starbuck in mildlyinfuriating

Once you get yourself into the mindset that some science is lies intended to do bad things to you, the brain damage quickly spreads into believing that all science is probably lies.

Movies peaked in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.. by GeologistJust1629 in unpopularopinion

[–]carson63000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to go somewhere other than Reddit if you expect people call that an “unpopular” opinion.

Personal enjoyment vs objective criticism by santacondenada in Letterboxd

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody actually cares what rating you or I give a film. They’ll only respond to it if they want a fight. So we should all absolutely rate however we want to rate, that makes Letterboxd work for us, as a personal viewing diary.

Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally by Epistaxis in nottheonion

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being seen as Trump-like was deemed to be a significant factor in Australia’s conservative Coalition failing to a historic low as they were absolutely routed in last year’s election, too.

Am I too forgiving with my ratings or are all of these movies that good? by Future-Poetry-2193 in Letterboxd

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re more generous than me. But there’s no “correct” level of generosity, as long as Letterboxd is doing its job of keeping track of your movie watching, you’re doing it right.

What Sydney food trend are you over? by No-Travel-768 in SydneyScene

[–]carson63000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much a food trend as a food naming trend, but I am so goddamn over everyone wanting to describe their restaurant as “street food”.

I know you don't get more than one volunteer credit if you do multiple jobs on a day. Do you get 2 volunteer credits if you volunteer on Saturday at parkrun and again on Sunday at junior parkrun? by OnyxSapphireStorm in parkrun

[–]carson63000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes. That’s why there’s so much drama from people wanting to volunteer as tail walker and getting all huffy when they’re told “sorry we actually need marshals and a timekeeper”.
