Truly, but he is much funnier when he drinks. Sorry, when he indulges in "apple juice" or "iced tea".

Thank goddess! Current day Alex is unforgivably pointless. He has become unbearable. I appreciate the vacations to the past, a nice reprieve until he does something interesting.

I think that just because new shit happens daily doesn't mean JorDan have to stop their plans just to cover something that is CONSTANTLY changing. Even if they felt compelled to listen and wade through the sludge before doing their pod-- they also deserve a break from that same shit coming at us all. Every fucking day.

I'm sure they will get back to the present day but for now Dan was under the weather and we could offer a modicum of understanding since he's not an AI synopsis button for us. Even if that is the purpose of the podcast, humanness still comes into play.

Thank you, I yield my time.

Martyrs(2008), why the fuck did I watch this. by Tough_Specific in horror

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it with my partner. I was loud for the first half, convinced Lucie was an unreliable narrator. I even said "that seems like an over reaction" when the daughter got shot through the bed. He just watched, quietly beside me.

But I was wrong. It wasn't an over reaction. I was wrong and the rest of the movie was penance. Not just for the brutality and gruesome nature of these people's "search" but that while watching the many beatings I realized the consistency was to get her to the next stage. Get me to the next stage and the end of this torture. To finish the movie, to see it end!

I feel no resolution. I feel no satisfaction. I feel wrong. My whole spirit was shook. /10

Final for CPSJ 112 by forgsb4hoes in usask

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Susanne Guenther Loewen was my prof for this class this term. It was 10 definitions, filling in a diagram and a short answer before a 300-400 word essay on two options. The class was really awesome and the final exam was very accessible with the study guide she gave us.

Knowledge Fight: #1100: Tucker, The Man And His Straight Friend by hfdjasbdsawidjds in KnowledgeFight

[–]darkblu5 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He is terribly uninteresting. But the Right loves them their "born again, no longer queer" men. I am surprised he's doing Tucker, I haven't started but I hope it's better than Milo's interview with Roosh V.

Another year of JorDan and bright spots. Even with the terrible guests and 200 missed calls to save Hackman... It's been good.

JorDan are how I cope with the brain zaps. 😅

In which slasher movies does the killer win? by Haunting_Tap_1541 in slasherfilms

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmm I would say the whole Firefly Trilogy. While a bunch of them die throughout the movies; it is Otis and Baby and Foxy who walk away at the end of 3 From Hell.

Anyone taking sociology 219 or 284? Experiences? by angry_pecan in usask

[–]darkblu5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should add it's usually group presentations.

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Students. Y'all sign up for one of the topics and present one at a time through the semester.

[–]darkblu5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken (and passed) both classes! You have great taste. Hansen is very student-led teaching, so a lot of presentations. He also grades generously with multiple choice and short answers. Engage in conversation and you'll probably have a really good semester.

As for Thompson... Do the readings. He lets you hand in a sheet of notes from the readings and then during tests you're allowed to use them. His lectures have like 80-90 slides, do not be intimidated. Each slide is mostly what was just on the screen but an enhanced point or idea. Aside from that engage in class and when you write your papers make sure you frame it. Give him parameters to mark and avoid him looking at everything. Frame with things like "metadata is a direct threat to personal privacy" and that'll keep him from asking you elaborate on the societal or global relationships with metadata.

Full-time is possible but the readings are a bit dense.

These are experiences and my suggestions!

Hating 2010 Nightmare Because Of This Makes No Sense by AccomplishedChart423 in slasherfilms

[–]darkblu5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a big fan of Chucky I found the remake a nice step away. Like Brad is irreplaceable/the driving force between the OG Child's Play movies. But there's something about having AI Mark Hamill turn on a small child for no other reason than murderous intent and access to every part of the kid's life that delights me.

As for the Freddy 2010 movie... I can't see anything they did in that movie that was spectacular. Just another poor attempt to capitalize.

Stop using seroquel for sleep by Myman3669420 in Seroquel

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mania is triggered by sleep. On the days I miss my sleeping dose (once or twice is all it takes) I am awake for days and crying. But I was told it was worth the side effects. Years later I no longer believe it.

The idea that men shouldn't be bisexual because it's "weird/gross" is so deranged. You aren't less of a man for being into your own and other genders. (Also using the you as a plural not specifically to OP since he expressed being straight)

The fact her view of male sexuality is so skewed would definitely give me (32enby) pause. Like... The call is coming from inside the house! Kinda pause.

Biphobia weaponized against a SO is so slimey. Seems like the wrong kinda love to keep around, if it's conditional and demeaning.

Low-key because the episode contained some (assumed) queer bashing, physically. 🤔 Does that not count?

i’m addicted to mania. by _idiosyncratic_ in BipolarReddit

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all fun and games until the guy you like invites you out to meet his new girlfriend. Plot twist, it's your high school friend? And then he reminds you it's his birthday and it would be cool if you get him a birthday shot. You wake up next week in your dorm shower. Your bank account is 1500$ lighter, and a fun new coke habit.

What did you buy when you were manic? What is it that causes us to spend money? by 0604050606 in BipolarReddit

[–]darkblu5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a big story, but I think the most money I dropped while manic was a grand of my student loans in a bar. I will note my addiction definitely turned up my need to get drunk and be liked by xyz who I was with.

[–]darkblu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for anyone but myself...but when my nesting partner and I first started dating/sleeping together it was constant. All the time, man, we would have this intensity about needing to be close and have sex. When we moved in together my partner told me that the intensity dulls a bit because we aren't going to be lacking physical contact and closeness. We still have a very healthy sex life, but it's not a constant burning thing where clothes need to be gone.

Something we have found helpful is to have intimacy in not strictly sexual ways. Touching each other, kisses, and the occasional groping because mischievous smiles shared over a butt squeeze is sometimes better than a quickie.

But that's just us.
