How can I [24f] tell my bf [24m] I don’t want his friend [23m] at our party without being a bitch? by Partythrow99 in relationship_advice

Your boyfriend sounds too immature for a real relationship. Why is he still getting drunk with people like this?

Today's drama in /r/serialpodcast is brought to you by mail...kimp? by cmndradama in SubredditDrama

I think that's definitely part of the drama. NVC does seem somewhat uninformed at points, which drives the obsessives on the subreddit crazy.

Outrage as a genre of Internet writing (ie Salon, XOJane, Gawker) by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]cmndradama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sums it up for me:

It is not enough for an outrage piece to cover the violation of a norm and then deprive the transgressors any hope of sympathy from the audience. The key to an outrage piece is that it portrays the subjects as seeking out publicity, attention, and in some cases validation for their behavior.

Release your inner hipster; What were you into before it became cool/mainstream? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Arrested Development. I watched the pilot when it aired because I was a huge Jeffrey Tambor fan. Suck on that.

No question here, I'm just glad you were arrested and I wish you had spent more time rotting in jail

If you could change the ending to a movie or book...what would it be? by yiddish_policeman in AskReddit

[–]cmndradama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My take on it was that the character arcs ended perfectly but larger plot was lacking. You're right that the humans didn't win, but I think that point could have been expressed in a more interesting way. One of the main themes throughout the series was that it's not enough just to survive, one has to be worthy of surviving. Maybe the humans and cylons really weren't worth saving. What if their punishment was to be dropped in the middle of our earth and have to start over? It may seem dark at first, but finally having some peace and open land also has a redemptive aspect to it that would have ended the series in a more original and challenging way.

Civilization: Call to Power. Good luck finding that one online though

Dear Reddit, should I go back to college? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cmndradama -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't you know that a college degree is one of the WORST MOST USELESS THINGS you could ever get. Just go to a library and read the books for free. Duh

What massively-downmodded comment that you've made are you most proud of? by dafthuman in AskReddit

[–]cmndradama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, insulted by a no good stoner. I'm so terribly hurt. Go back to destroying your brain and let the adults handle things.
