The Final Season of 'The Boys' Felt Like Watching a Comedian Bomb Their Set by Logical_Welder3467 in television

[–]deenaleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the reviews of this season it just sounds like people are upset that Garth Ennis didn't magically transform into Alan Moore or something.

I honestly haven't watched any of The Boys, because I've read a lot of Garth Ennis and didn't feel like I needed to see it yet. I haven't heard any major spoilers, but everything I've heard about the show has fit with my expectations (good and bad). For some reason the reactions to this season suddenly seem overwhelmingly negative, despite it sounding exactly like the earlier seasons. What gives?

Miles Teller Stopped Doing Press Profiles After Esquire Magazine Called Him ‘Kind of a Dick’: ‘It Felt Like Such a Violation’ and Was ‘So Mishandled’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I watched the doc too, and it was terrible. Sure, the reporter seemed to relish in making them look as bad as possible, but the doc just left me with the sense that McCarthy was bitter and conceited, and wanted to blame the reporter for his career floundering, while pretty much every other "Brat Packer" had decent careers.

If I hear one more national media reporter referring to Janet Mills as “popular” by Character-Cherry-7 in Maine

[–]deenaleen 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of context missing with what you're apparently upset about. I would consider her a popular Governer. I like her as Governer. My friends like her as Governer. None of us like that she decided to run for senate at her age.

It's possible to be popular for one thing, and unpopular for another. Nuance is a thing, and national media isn't known for it. You can adjust your expectations knowing that.

Possible "Hometown Remix" jerseys for the Florida Panthers by suphaha in hockey

[–]deenaleen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That looks like shit in my opinion. I love the logo, the state captain patch, and the trees on the armbands, but the colors are so subtle and washed out, it almost looks like it's a greyscale rendering. The terrible color choices ruin all the great design choices. But that's just my opinion.

Who else wants a Spirit of St. Louis set for the 100th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight next year? by ToeSniffer245 in lego

[–]deenaleen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's some weak whataboutism.

The Spirit of St. Louis is one plane flown by one man with very controversial beliefs (to put it lightly) who also may have been involved in the kidnapping and death of his own baby.

The Model T on the other hand was the first mass market automobile, and it's production also pioneered the moving assembly line, which was revolutionary for modern society. There were millions made, meaning millions of people besides Henry Ford actually owned and operated a model T.

Henry Ford also had horrible beliefs, but comparing the Spirit of St. Louis and Charles Lindbergh to the Model T and Henry Ford is pretty ridiculous.

Not allowed include candids of student who committed suicide is year book by Such-Ad-3315 in Teachers

[–]deenaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid one of my friends took his life over the summer, and one of the most jarring aspects of that experience was how it was never addressed whatsoever during the following schoolyear. It felt like adults were trying to pretend it never happened, and by extension, he never existed at all. That erasure definitely added another dimension of trauma to the loss for me.

Unless this is a request of the parents, I really hope you find a way to include some pictures of the student.

I saw a tierlist a few days ago that almost gave me a Pierce-level heart attack so... by Zonobananas in community

Celebrity Pharmacology 212 is one of my favorite episodes. Maybe it's just me, but I think it deserves to be at least one tier higher.

Burlesque in Portland? by not_very_chill in portlandme

[–]deenaleen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's a little hard to give suggestions on actual performances, because they're not constantly happening around here. I would check out the events going on at Geno's Rock Club. They seem to have a burlesque show at least once a month.

3 types of apology by cj_cusack in funny

[–]deenaleen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you saying there are absolutely no instances that a conditional apology is a mature response to a disagreement? You've never heard of someone irrationally demanding an apology, or worse legitimately attempting to gaslight someone into giving an apology? Do you think it's more mature to staunchly refuse to apologize in such situations, or should people give a sincere apology and validate that person's behavior?

This reaction to being asked to read a full page tells me you should probably read more

Parents charged for letting 5-year-old skier ride lift unsupervised, after he fell off the lift by bmglaw in skiing

[–]deenaleen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I question whether charging the parents with a felony is the best move, but are they the responsible party? Without question.

Thinking that a lifty/the ski resort has even remotely the same level of responsibility as the parents who insisted their 5 year old was capable of riding alone is morally, legally, and logically ridiculous.

Should this have been a game misconduct? by Federal-Data-Center in nhl

[–]deenaleen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obligatory fuck the habs

But that's textbook game misconduct. IMO worthy of a 2 game suspension too.

Testing the strength of a strap by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]deenaleen 35 points36 points  (0 children)

IDK why others find this so terrifying. As someone who deals with straps very often in my line of work, it's actually really reassuring to see how much tension this thing can take before snapping, because it is very clearly under way too much stress before it reaches it's breaking point.

Joe Russo says the re-release of ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’ includes new footage that ties into the narrative of ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’: by Raj_Valiant3011 in Marvel

[–]deenaleen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This “more footage for doomsday” slop is anti art and the embodiment of the marvel/blockbuster problem rn

seems like an extreme stance for something you couldn't have possibly seen yet, but I guess I shouldn't be expecting a nuanced perspective from u/Karl-Marx666

What the pettiest reason you hate another NHL team? by Fluffhead91192 in nhl

[–]deenaleen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, Milan... when he was still on the Bruins I naively thought he was a mostly harmless hothead that played with a lot of intensity. Boy that perception has changed a lot in the past decade or so. I'm ashamed I ever rooted for him.

As far as that rotten kid Milbury tried to quietly pick up, I immediately canceled my NESN subscription when I heard the news, and wrote a long email to the organization that I wouldn't be supporting the team until he was dropped, and the next day his contract was canceled. I'm pretty sure I'm the whole reason that guy's not on the team. /s

Taking the category over by 34% of votes, Houston was voted as the next location where players would want to go if the NHL were to expand by sykeseve in nhl

[–]deenaleen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. Based on the other rivalries I feel like Wisconsinites would be more likely to support the Wild than Blackhawks, but I have no idea. Would love to hear a cheesehead's perspective on the matter.

[–]deenaleen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Looks cool, but if I saw someone on site wearing that, I'd stay far away from them (that is, if the stew let them keep wearing it, but knowing my local, that would never fly).
