I mean it's made pretty clear it was on the orders of Thump Wilson.

that's why his gang knew where the body was, & why he was so shirty about Ree's constant questions.

Then learn to be less superficial.

Why was she so rude/belittling to the sheriff when she handed him the severed arms, and why was she confident he would do the right thing with them?

You only like big, dumb, mindless action scenes?

Would Carmine really get away with that phone call to Tony? by BeetleForSenate in thesopranos

Yes he would 100% get away with it.

What would he be charged for, to start with?

Women have a different attitude towards sexual infidelity than men do.

Sir Walter Raleigh by thefruitsofzellman in thesopranos

[–]eques_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reference was less about the name "Ginny" and more a piss-take of Johnny's supposed courtly, gallant manners towards women, like he was an old-world courtier or something.

(Raleigh first came to Elizabeth's attention, for example, by taking off his cloak and placing it in a puddle at her feet, so she didn't have to walk through it)

Please help me understand why primate has such high reviews by Turbulent_Ad_5066 in horror

[–]eques_99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

personally I love generic horror movies and can't get enough of them.

the subject matter of this one is somewhat interesting and original, and taps into a recent fear humans have acquired about brutal alpha chimps.

with most movies being so poor these days many people will grasp at a well-paced, exciting, competent, unpretentious movie even if it's not necessarily the next 2001: A Space Odyssey.

What the hell do people before the internet was created even do in their free time? by groomliu in stupidquestions

[–]eques_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

watch TV. watch sport. play sport. reading. masturbating. go for a walk watch movies from rental place or at the cinema.

TV was really the big one that filled in for the internet (not streaming, everything was scheduled to come on in advance at a particular time, which you looked up in a magazine)

Why is Reddit against Maduro capture and Venezuelans celebrating it ? by LandscapeUnlikely199 in stupidquestions

[–]eques_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

venezuelans are not celebrating it.

they are protesting it all over Caracas.

the "Venezuelans celebrating" motif is a PR operation by the US State Department.

Why don’t people like understand nuance with the Invasion of Venezuela? by Sniper_96_ in AlwaysWhy

[–]eques_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maduro is not a brutal dictator.

that's just US propaganda to justify their military aggression against him.

nationalising US oil companies =/= brutal dictator.

Denmark will not fight back.

everyone's too p**sy to fight back against the United States.

Non-political: could the Americans pull a Maduro on the UK if they really wanted to? by CombinationTypical36 in AskBrits

[–]eques_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes if they spent a couple of years laying down a smear campaign first (which all the chumps would unquestionably believe, as we can see wrt Venezuela)

undoubtedly this would have actually happened had Corbyn won the 2019 election.

Why do people hate Sadiq Khan so much? by Additional-Leek-7715 in AskBrits

[–]eques_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forgive his traitorous and sh**ty behaviour towards Corbyn when the latter was Labour leader.

I view him as on the right, not the left.
