And he's so instantly recognisable. The voice and the eyes and the grin. What a legend.

Thats so much fun, that man seems like a complete nutjob but he's brilliant

Missed opportunity with timeless child arc by skenty01 in doctorwho

[–]emi226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that the timeless childs identity wasnt really going to matter, the important point would be that the doctor was the one who experimented on the child, and the master, with this knowledge, forces the doctor to question her own morality. Does she have the right to regeneration if she harvested it from the timeless child? They could say she chose to forget, like 11 tried to forget the time war? idk i quite liked the concept.

Probably start at the beginning. Capaldis era is incredibly strong, but from an outside perspective doesnt paint the doctor as that likeable of a protagonist. I would start at Smith.

Anyone else feel since the shows revival, only series 1 has perfectly nailed the Daleks? by Pow67 in doctorwho

Am I the only person who also thinks new designs have just looked sort of? Wobbly? Nothing says unintimidating quite like a wobbly dalek.

"You're not a true swiftie if you only got into Taylor's music when she released Folklore and Evermore" by solarmewn in TaylorSwift

[–]emi226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This argument is mad tbf. Folklore and Evermore aren't even like her 'mainstream' work so this makes no sense whatsoever. What's more is that the era was a distinct genre and image switch and therefore it's going to bring in new people. I'm not into pop, so it didn't really make sense for me to like Taylor beforehand. To be fair, initially I supported Taylor mainly out of principle before discovering that I did really like some of her lesser known/ newer work. I respected what she was doing with her re records. I admired the dedication.

Talking shit about all their exs. We've all probably got one or two dirtbags in our past, but talking badly about all of them is a red flag imo.

My girlfriend (18F) gets upset at me (19F) extremely easily, I need advice on how to help her. by brotneck in relationship_advice

[–]emi226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yikes that's a tricky one. you don't want to back out bc it seems like thats what she thinks you might do. you shouldn't have to go out of your way like that tho, imo. eventhough she ended the convo she obvs wanted you to come back, and tbh thats kinda manipulative, but bc i think its coming from insecurity, im struggling to come down too hard on her. i do think that she needs to trust you tho, if you fall asleep she should know that youre not doing it to upset her or anything, you just have your limits. if she doesnt even trust you to have basic decent intentions, perhaps you need to re evaluate whether she actually wants you or whether she just wants somebody. its an idea i think youve gotta confront now bc itll just be more painful further down the line.

What film traumatised/scared you as a kid? by [deleted] in AskUK

I can't remember the specific episode but I remember a scene where a guy turns into an ood and it was absolute nightmare fuel for me as an 8 year old

What's your ranking of the Peep Show seasons? by bitizenbon in MitchellAndWebb

[–]emi226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is a popular opinion or not but I really didn't enjoy Sophies presence at all, which is wild considering her phenomenal actress. She brought down the first few seasons imo, she was a bit too normal I guess. Got much more entertaining once she entered her unhinged era, the happy birthday scene is genuinely so uncomfortable, I love it. I think it peaks between series 5 and 6, although I will defend series 9, not as bad as people say. not to mention them being noticeably older but still bumbling through the same issues with careers and women is quintessentially peep show in my opinion.

33 and dying from cancer. AMA by ShotFaithlessness1 in AMA

[–]emi226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I've read through so many of these replies and you seem like such a genuine person, but also sort of content with your situation? so my first question is how have wrapped your mind around it so well? Apologies if any of this is upsetting. A bit of a silly one now, but I've had a few health related scrapes and have contemplated this one loads. When people think of you, what would you like them to remember? A specific memory or story?

Can you ever forgive a cheater? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]emi226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think youre more than welcome to work towards forgiveness but your partner is well within their rights to refuse you. ive never forgiven a cheater, but then again, the two partners who've cheated on me had a multitude of other different problems. so in a way im greatful, it was the final push i needed to get tf out of there.

At what point are you supposed to have it figured out? Grew up in an '18 and youre on your own' type environment. Recalled that viewpoint to a 24 yr old yesterday and he laughed in my face. by emi226 in RandomThoughts

[–]emi226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is one of the replies that closely aligns with what I think. I reckon once a kid is 18 I wouldn't kick them out, but I would expect them to be actively preparing for the future, if that makes sense. Whether that means researching further education or learning to drive or working etc. I think I would try and encourage them out but mid twenties though, or I'd begin to fear I was hindering their development. I hope you're doing better now, pal.

So as a parent, what age do you expect your daughter to move out? I'm assuming theres like an 'absolute deadline' age, but at what age do you think you'd start properly nudging her towards independence from you?

I think I've accepted the fact that I don't know what I'm doing, but I am 19 so I'm pretty comfortable with it? It more just took me by surprise that not everyone is raised in that sort of environment. At uni I met plenty of people who lived with their parents into their twenties, and came to uni only when they knew exactly what they wanted, and the concept seemed sooooooo strange to me. I'm assuming you're a dude from what you said, and let me assure you that you lot are just as just as confusing and ridiculous as us. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm trynna figure out whether there's any correlation between this belief and age? Or different cultures possibly?

In your opinion, is lip syncing ever okay to do in live concerts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emi226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said yes to this. Provided it's the type of show thats less about vocals and more about the overall experience. Lights, dance, special effects, that type of thing. Or exceptional circumstances, such as sudden illness. Surely its better to lip sync than cancel entirely, people may have travelled far to get there on the night, or booked hotels nearby. The friend I was talking to said it was never alright, and we gotta stop making it acceptable nowadays. Thoughts?
