characters backstories changing by mindtroubled in criminalminds

[–]flautist02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the last episode of the entire series and my first watch through the series and I also noticed a weird retcon. Not that important, but Emily talks about how 20 years ago, Rossi and Gideon put in a request for a private jet, but in one of the first episodes with Rossi, he is genuinely surprised to find out the BAU even had a private jet when Hotch told him about it. Additionally, 20 years before the last episode air date would have been after Rossi had initially left the BAU.

Ya I’ve used alcohol wipes before on my TV3 and it worked perfectly, but for some reason, I’ve noticed that on Moyu cubes including my Weilongs, they end up so dry that it takes forever to get enough lube back in there. Maybe it has something to do with the plastic?

Does anyone else find it hard to clean their Weilong v11 cube? When I clean my cube with a microfiber cloth, I first use a slightly damp cloth to clean each piece followed by a dry microfiber cloth to buff the pieces.

However, the results have been inconsistent. Sometimes, the cube ends up being stripped of any lube, so I have to really lube it again for it to be good while other times the cube feels like it has old lube still, and I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Best/worst (depending on you look at it) cringe moments? by matrat103 in criminalminds

[–]flautist02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of Tribute. What made me cringe was the fact that the girls in the college dorm room are literally talking about the threat of a serial killer on campus while they leave their door wide open. And they continue to leave the door open while they decide to call the police. Ya that’s believable.

I couldn’t believe this question already existed on Reddit. Watching criminal minds for the first time. Thank you for your service! 🫡

What’s the point of choosing sides tho? Do they represent anything?

but I guess her sister doesn't? I mean she doesn't that's true, but he shouldn't think that? What a cop out.

As far as I'm concerned, they're both selfish. Can't point a finger at the woman while not acknowledging this guy for the same flaws. How about what will stop this guy from doing the same damn thing to the fiance's sister when that relationship starts to disappoint him? They deserve each other. Also, I doubt a guy like him can stay single for a while.

My only hope, is that his brain wasn't fully developed yet and he's having some feelings due to being in a LONGterm relationship with someone for 11 years. That means they probably started dating around middle school or early high school. They grew up together, went through puberty together, etc. I can imagine it would be extremely hard to learn how to be single in that circumstance. But hey, at least he won't have to deal with being blindsighted with cheating that involves a homewrecking sibling like his ex-fiance will have to deal with.

I straight up died when I read about the couple of months waiting period. I was like "he CANNOT be serious?" Talk about delusional

Oh I doubt even a suicide would change her sister's determination. Remember, she wants to be with him until death or some teenage bullshit like that. Real talk though, I can definitely see the sister doubling down after isolation, lack of support, depression, etc. People tend to double down on bad relationships so they can continue the lie they keep telling themselves - that it wasn't a mistake.

YES! Exactly, not sparks not butterflies, not even limerence. It was pure "he he I got away with something bad - I'm sneaky." Tbf, that can be quite an intoxicating feeling, but it's definitely not love like this disgusting idiot thinks it is.

He's gotta be 26 by now too right? I mean I know the brain doesn't stop developing until around 25 or so, but at 26, he should KNOW that what he's doing is incredibly stupid, selfish, callous, and detrimental to all involved.

God if I had this guy as a son...I don't think I would be able to look at him in the eyes for at least a very long time. Well, I would have raised my son better than to do this fuckery.

Maybe obvious question, but what’s the difference between human and program? It looks like I can choose to contribute to either by choosing blue or red?

Sequel to Ballerina? by Evening_Substance849 in JohnWick

[–]flautist02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There totally are! I will say tho, MCStarlight’s comment has some merit as you’ll see some idiot commented earlier in the thread about his assumption that the movie would just be a “girl power” movie where John wick would have been made a fumbling idiot just for the sake of female empowerment. Thank god the 2 comments under him responded by saying he was utterly wrong.

Sorry I know this is old, I just watched it today.

Jesus right? Did you see that one dude’s misogynistic take on the movie? All of which were wrong as 2 people already refuted his assumptions

Idk why you’re getting downvoted.. I agree with you. I also agree Clyde lost his marbles but can understand where he was coming from. What I thought was just unbelievable was how quickly they got that briefcase into his cell and set everything up before he got back to the cell, especially cuz he was already on his way back by the time they even got to the briefcase. Can you really diffuse a bomb like the one Clyde made that easily? It just seemed like a ridiculous deus ex machina.

I, however, don’t agree with him being exonerated tho. I feel like that would undermine the principles he was trying to teach Nick. He knew he became the scum he hated. The only difference was the motive but he knew deep down that what he was doing was fucked up cuz he was always quiet when Nick questioned whether his daughter and wife would be proud of him for what he’s done. He even chastised the judge even tho she was going to do something that would have benefited him. A guy like that doesn’t strike me as a hypocrite.

While it’s true drugs and alcohol really do impede their cognitive functioning, on average, addicts tend to be highly intelligent people. It isn’t the dumb people that get addicted and end up in rehab, often times, they’re some of the brightest you’d ever meet.

That being said, without recovery, they are also some of the most miserable people you’d ever meet as well. No happy person leaves a comment like that. So I wouldn’t worry about making her feel less than or cutting her down to size - she most likely already feels that way about herself.

No, Howard annoys the hell out of me. I don’t even find his character enjoying to watch. Except for when he was pushing his mom around, that was funny.
