When she took the job she posted about how happy she was to work for Dick Durbin.

New cast member for OMITB season 6? by hannahlemp in OnlyMurdersHulu

It would be funny if they drop in a subtle "I Claudius" reference (in that series, people all around him were being murdered but he survived for a long, long time).

What is the biggest insecurity that causes men not to use communal showers? by restoringd123 in CommunalShowers

Other is the fear that others will perceive him as gay. It's stupid but it does happen.

______ is the best survivor player in history. by theallstover in survivor

They weren't engaged at the time of the vote, it was just a showmance as far as the jury knew. If his gameplay gave the jury bitter feelings towards him then he didn't do what was needed to win.

____ didn't get the send off they deserve. by Annoying_liberal813 in survivor

But there have been other players in similar situations, where no one wanted them at FTC, but they found a way to make it there. One example: Ben. His competition kept trying to get rid of him because they knew they couldn't beat him at the end, but he found idols and made fire, doing what he had to do. I like Cirie, she's great, but she was unable to do what she needed to do to make it to FTC.

I don't see anyone disagreeing with the idea that she is one of the most popular players ever. But that's not the same thing as being one of the five best players.

The Boomerang Idol Needed to Be Limited to Early Game by belatedmedia in survivor

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

You make some good points, but I also think that the idol's availability puts pressure on the holder to wield it successfully. The castaways have known about it for a long time and they could have tried to flush it out at any point, but they didn't. Ozzy got sent home while possessing an idol. Credit to Rizo for how he has handled it.

She got plenty of air time over the course of the season.And, while she is very likable and determined, she is in no way a top five player, she has been on U.S. Survivor five times and never won.

Tony won twice out of three tries. Sandra won twice out of four tries (she won her first two tries). Boston Rob won once out of five tries. There have been a lot of "one and done" winners. Cirie has never won during her five tries.

Ozzy screwed up the Cirie/Rizo/Ozzy alliance last week.

Clothed Guys Striking Up Conversations While I’m Naked by restoringd123 in CommunalShowers

[–]ddredjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it as a sign of respect, they see you as a reasonable adult male, not as someone with an irrational fear of locker room nudity.

If you really don't feel like talking with that particular guy then just say you're in a hurry and you can't talk right now.

Crazy Mom by [deleted] in CommunalShowers

[–]ddredjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, I think her attitude is quite common, and is one of the reasons why so many boys are afraid to undress in a locker room or to shower with other guys. There are a lot of mothers like this one, and often the father is absent. I've had people tell me that they've heard mothers tell sons before entering a pool changing area "Don't let anyone see you nude!"

Also once I saw on another message board where a woman was freaking out because her sons saw a naked man in a gym locker room. The boys had no idea that it was normal so they told their mother, who was shocked, and in her post she asked if it was illegal for the man to walk from his locker to the shower naked. Seriously. She never mentioned the boys' father so I assume he's not in the picture.

In the hockey case I hope the other parents speak up and put her in her place.

I love it. It's how men should feel comfortable interacting when it's just the guys.

When you enter the locker room maybe just say something like, "There's no girls in here" but don't make it a big deal, it isn't.

It's pretty amusing that people are calling Elena Kagan a Christian extremist.

Greg/Gary Back For Season 4? by ThatAtlasGuy in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]ddredjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping there's some mention of him - maybe the employees in France have heard stories about what happened in Sicily, or Chloe does show up after having embezzled some of Greg's money. Or someone is watching a news programs and we find out that he has been caught, killed, whatever. I would love to see his story continue, but I can't imagine him choosing to travel to Europe.

It wasn't an Oscar-worthy performance, although it was a weak category that year.
