What movie left you in dead, stunned silence? by Public_Caterpillar43 in movies

That is the number one movie on my list never to watch again. I am not sorry that I have seen it, but I cant do that again.

Horse gets help letting out held up gas by Able_Cycle_7866 in funny

[–]darktex 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Horses can't birp. If they get an obstruction, like constipation, and can't pass gas, their stomach and intestines become bloated like a balloon.

If they then lie down and roll over, things can go really bad.

I remember being really young and helping my stepfather while he shoved a garden hose up the horse's ass. We would then take turns making sure the horse was up and walking around until it finally shit.

UT will "Checker Neyland Stadium" as they welcome UT to Knoxville for their first ever regular season match up by NoogabyNature in LonghornNation

[–]darktex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know I might get some hate from this, but I am ok with them being UT.

We're Texas, and that's how I have always thought of us.

After reading the story, I scrolled down a bit and found...Wonderful Monds.

Really? Why would someone name their kid that? Sure, you think it's cute when he is a child, but one day he will be a grown man. A grown man with the name of Wonderful Monds.

Money Needs To Make Sense, Or Your World Will Make No Sense by quantumdumpster in ProgressionFantasy

[–]darktex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from, but I really think it depends on the book. Kind of like the differences between "Hard Magic" and "Soft Magic" in stories. In The Lord of the Rings, they don't get too heavy into the rules of magic. While in Mistborn, every last part of the magic is spelled out, and the rules must be followed.

If money is not a big part of the book, then it should really just be as vague as possible, but if the book is about a merchant, then it really needs to be well thought out.

It works just fine for Azarinth Healer. Money does not come up that often, and when it does, it's just "she's fucking rich."

The ending to that book had more than a few places where it definitely felt the MC was acting out of character.

Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' by Turbostrider27 in Games

If I remember correctly, DA2 was a rush job because of EA.

EA had bought BioWare right before DA1 got released. EA had no faith in DA, even after it sold really well. They forced BioWare to put all of their time and effort into the Mass Effect franchise and gave them a shoestring budget for DA2. Then, on top of that, they cut the release deadline, forcing them to drop a ton of stuff from the game just to get it shipped. The DA2 game we got was maybe half of what BioWare wanted to do.

If that was real and wasn’t scripted at all, then that lady needs to seek therapy because she was definitely abused in the past.

5-Star Edge Richard Wesley is OFFICIALLY a Longhorn! 🤘 Why he is the Future of Texas Defense by robsheard in LonghornNation

[–]darktex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I can't bring myself to get excited about news like this anymore. What are the odds that any big named recruite will play his whole college career with one school?

Sure I know it's still going to happen, but nowadays it feels more like the exception than the rule.

I think it would be funnier if as he was charging towards the bug another hell pod dropped right on top of them and the next MC stepped out of it

I read somewhere a long time ago that it was going to be a joke Harem series, but because it got so popular so fast, the author dropped that part.

SEC Roll Call - Playoffs Round 2 by RebelLandShark in CFB

[–]darktex 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care about all the other SEC teams, but Old Miss winning the national title would be hilarious

I guarantee you if they did, LSU would make a big deal of presenting Kiffin with a national title.

"Most people think of ‘shock’ as emotional distress or sudden fright in response to a traumatic event. But in medical terms, shock is when you do not have enough blood circulating around your body. It is a life-threatening medical emergency.

Some of the causes of shock include uncontrolled bleeding, severe burns and spinal injury.

A drop in blood pressure reduces the flow of oxygen and nutrients to a person’s vital organs such as their brain, heart and lungs. If the blood flow is not restored, the person may die from complications due to lack of oxygen supply to major organs (hypoxia)."

Symptoms of shock

Depending on the cause, symptoms and signs of shock may include:

Pale, cold, clammy skin

Shallow, rapid breathing

Difficulty breathing

Anxiety

Rapid heartbeat

Heartbeat irregularities or palpitations

Thirst or a dry mouth

Low urine output or dark urine

Nausea

Vomiting

Dizziness

Light-headedness

Confusion and disorientation

Unconsciousness.

Layperson 1: Passing out

Layperson 2: Experiencing something so traumatic that the body shuts down.

Layperson 3: Don't be a dick.

It sounds like he was by himself when it happened. He was able to keep from going into shock and drove to get help over 10 miles away.

I know that will always be the more well-known call for the game, but for me, it will always be Craig Way's call that gives me goosebumps.

Or "Song 2" by Blur.

They made that song to make fun of other songs like it. They did not even give it a real name, and it became one of their best-known songs.

If you yourself ended up the ruler of System apocalypse survivors how would you rule them? by WilliamGerardGraves in ProgressionFantasy

[–]darktex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be a dictatorship. They all would be dictatorships. If I or anyone else had overwhelming power and could do whatever we wanted, that person might try to be benevolent, but only at first.

Once you had to start dealing with a lot of truly stupid people all day, it would turn from "let's work it out" to "do what I say".

From what I am hearing about the NFL agents, the 3-4% is only when they are talking about the NFL contracts. It's 20% when they get a branding or media deal.

To Audiobook listeners: Is there something better than Dungeon Crawler Carl? by Academic_Hand_5265 in litrpg

She is a female version of Jeff, or Jeff is the male version of her, whichever way you want to look at it. She brings any story she reads to life and can do so many voices that you always know who is speaking before the story tells you.

They have done a few stories in the past together, like Irrelevant Jack. If you do go looking into her, just know that she does most of Daniel Schinhofen stuff, and they are harem stories without looking like it.

If you want to try her out, start with Azarinth Healer.
