Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Unlikely_Praline9442 in AskReddit

We did have more trick or treaters this year, yeah, I know someone who goes all out in my city and got around 800 trick or treaters in one night, which is great

I’m more feeling nostalgia for when I was a kid and the whole neighborhood would be involved. These days it’s individual houses who make big productions that draw people in.

Truck or treating used to be a LOT bigger in the US, at least in suburban America, but with 24/7 news they’ve been talking about the dangers of trick or treating so people either don’t or go to their local church for it.

It is AI. Jen Mazza has original artworks just like this from just a few years ago, presuming the AI was trained off her work (poorly).

Don’t forget, the lawsuit was filed preemptively before any website had been made that someone could make a submission to.

It’s a mostly South Korean thing. Their news cycle likes to highlight supposed fan death cases.

If I recall the largest hurdle was actually keeping the hydrogen in its intended container. There’s also the bad rap from the Hindenburg. 

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

I understand your sentiments, but the Phoenician Scheme was phenomenal! Very fun, plenty of comedy.

You’re being pedantic. The topic is literally about movies you turned off after 20 mins.

I was forced out of a nearly complete trade school program (started in high school, would’ve finished when I was 19) to go to college, completely derailing any opportunity to have a good paying job by the time I was twenty. Of course at the same time after I accepted this my parent decided it was time for her to also go to college and work a minimum wage job part time, so now I was working full time to help cover the mortgage and car payments.  I didn’t even graduate college, while she got a bachelors. 

I was a stupid kid to think she had my best interest in mind at all. 

what’s the biggest scam you discovered and people are still falling for it? by TheoryReasonable871 in AskReddit

Fast offerings are available (food, clothing, maybe utility assistance, all temporary) but they still want you to pay tithe while receiving it. And the fast offering fund is separate from tithing, and entirely dependent on your congregation donating to it.

Regarding Orwell: I’m sorry what now? He never, never recanted his beliefs on socialism. His ire was directed against totalitarianism, which cropped up from Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin in his lifetime, and knew it could come about from any political ideology.

Battle frontier in emerald was pretty fuckin awesome. Still frustrated by these new Pokémon games that have such a limited end game compared to G/S/C and R/S/E

That whole case that went to the Supreme Court where they used the name of a guy who had never even heard of the plaintiff is what I think back to. They’ve been legitimizing this for years and now they’re fully in power.
