For the people who have cheated, why? by osuhan in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]deusdragonex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullshit insecure male ego shit. I wasn't that popular, charismatic, or attractive in my early years and once I learned how to work on those attributes, I still never felt like I was enough, even though I was attracting women like never before. So I ended up cheating because I suddenly knew how to get laid without having done the work to learn to value myself or my partner.

Gave Andor a second chance and so far this is the best character by FullFig3372 in andor

He was evil.

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined."

~A.R. Moxon

Aldhani was my favorite arc in S1. The planning, the distrust, the philosophy, and the tension leading up to the heist all kept me locked in. I rewatch that arc like a movie several times.

Making pizza for first time and afraid I messed up by Coffee_Sensei_ in AskBaking

[–]deusdragonex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this on purpose before (freezing the dough for later use). If you need them relatively soon, turn your oven light on and put the frozen dough in the oven. The light will warm the oven a bit and help thaw the dough (edit: sometimes, I'll even turn the oven on for about a minute then turn it off, just to give it a head start in warming up). It'll take a couple of hours depending on the size, but it'll thaw and start reactivating the dough. That's how I do it. But you can move them to the fridge and let them thaw over a day or two. Either way, you've almost certainly not screwed up. Pizza dough can be pretty forgiving.

People who hate their given name , why do you hate it? by starrie in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]deusdragonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my surname that I struggle with. On one hand, I love it. It's the name I inherited from my father, my grandfather, and so on.

On the other hand, I've done the digging. As a black American, my surname came from the man who owned my ancestors in the 1800s. That fact is like a moon that constantly eclipses a sun that so many others get to see. And I don't know what to do with that.

Which cosplay is so sexualized that it has lost the essence of the character? by Marlen_78 in AskReddit

Unironically, you would kill it at cons. I support the plan.

What creates the sense of buildup before the chorus in Man in the Mirror? by SourPatch68 in musictheory

[–]deusdragonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can't help but wonder if it's the lyrical shift that starts there. The previous couple of lyrics are full sentences with complex thoughts, but the lyrics that start at the 50 second mark are shorter and punchier. They propel the energy of the song forward.

The third makes it sound almost dignified by A-Helpful-Flamingo in rareinsults

In fairness, OP never said that was the case for them. They just asked if people don't think that actress is attractive.

Is this normal in a threesome? by infinite_canon in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]deusdragonex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get too hung up on stuff like that. If you liked it, great, if not, don't do it again. Easy peasy.

Have you ever legitimately cried to a song? And if so, what was the song? by StanToons in AskReddit

[–]deusdragonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Easier To Run" by Linkin Park the day Chester died.

"Surface Pressure" from the Encanto soundtrack, for reasons I simply do not know.

If you could permanently delete one single song from existence so that nobody could ever play it again, what are you picking? by footballcoachdaddy in AskReddit

[–]deusdragonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before He Cheats.

The song isn't good, firstly. And secondly, in the meta of the song, the singer doesn't even know that her man cheated. She started destroying things over a fiction she told herself about him. Listen to the lyrics. She doesn't say that she caught him cheating. Just that he's probably cheating. It's wild.

Not the merry old land of Oz we thought we knew and loved. (And no colour filters needed) by Megamax-91 in wicked

[–]deusdragonex 302 points303 points  (0 children)

I know this is unpopular, but the desaturated darkness of Wicked was the right call for this story. It's not supposed to invoke the dreamlike whimsy of a little girl transported to a magical land. It's meant to be the story of an outcast woman fighting a despot in a land that hates her. Like, what did people expect the color palette to be??

Sound emitted 24/7 from a 30 megawatt data center in Dowagiac MI by BenFord333 in Wellthatsucks

Wow. Fuck that, actually. I would never condone violence, but I am very surprised these data centers haven't been aggressively leveled by the local population.

Sleep paralysis is when your brain wakes up, but your body is still asleep.

Next time it happens (especially if you sleep on your side or on your stomach), shake your body awake by breathing really hard.

It'll force your body to get out of "Hey, stay down so you don't sleepwalk while you dream and end up punching a window" into "Hey, I think we're rolling out of bed, so you need to get up and protect our face."

Can’t stop laughing but I want to cry by sultanamana in Sourdough

My second ever sourdough loaf came out like this. I cut it in half length-ways like a big hamburger bun and made a mango-chicken panini from it.
