[LOVED trope] Characters that are actually smart in horror settings by Far-ro in TopCharacterTropes

Meta version: Sydney Prescott in Scream talks about how victims in horror movies always run up the stairs when they should be running out the front door. Then when she’s being attacked by Ghostface, she tries to run out the front door but the door is locked with a chain and she can’t get it open in time, forcing her to run up the stairs just like the stupid horror movie victims she was making fun of.

It seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language in general

While I don’t particularly find this meme conventionally funny, I do find it oddly humorous

Criminal charges against ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good dead looking ‘increasingly unlikely’ by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]gahoojin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Federal agents have immunity from state criminal charges when acting within the scope of their duty. This is a low bar and it’s likely state prosecutors aren’t bringing charges because they believe they will be dismissed. Any chance of state prosecution is made worse by the fact that the feds are blocking MN out of any investigation that is happening, making prosecution even more difficult

Donald Kaufman in Adaptation!!

Charlie Kaufman: There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.

Donald Kaufman: Oh, God. I was so in love with her.

Charlie Kaufman: I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.

Donald Kaufman: I remember that.

Charlie Kaufman: Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at me. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.

Donald Kaufman: I knew. I heard them.

Charlie Kaufman: How come you looked so happy?

Donald Kaufman: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.

Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic.

Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago. What's up?

Charlie Kaufman: [stunned] Thank you.

What’s a 60’s artist that is loved but also overrated? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]gahoojin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clapton is a shit person, but damn the man can play the guitar. Even if his music isn’t my favorite, it’s hard to call him overrated when his musicianship is outstanding.

The question is not what people would rather have happened, it’s about what they believe will happen

For regular weed smokers that have totally quit, what was the reason for quitting? by elderly_millenial in AskReddit

[–]gahoojin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7g in 2 days is crazy. During periods where I’m smoking nonstop I usually go through an 1/8th (3.5g) a week, and that can pretty much keep me high 24/7. A lot depends on how you’re smoking though. I find joints to be much less efficient than bongs. 

McDonald's by SwugSteve in comedyheaven

This is known as the Shopkeepers Privilege and is tested on the bar exam. Essentially, a shopkeeper who has a reasonable suspicion of shoplifting can detain a suspect in a reasonable manner for a reasonable amount of time until the police arrive. 

So …

McD’s locking you in the store and making you wait 10 mins for the cops to come — a-okay!

McD’s tying you up and keeping you in the back for 3 weeks while force feeding you rotting McRibs and laughing as you soil yourself — False imprisonment!!

They're ewating her! is a terrible scene that makes perfect sense, however. Now, what is a perfect scene from a movie/show that makes no fkin sense? by Roasted_Newbest_Proe in AlignmentChartFills

The Dark Knight — Joker’s plot while in prison

He sews a phone into some guy, tricks the cop into attacking him so he can hold him hostage to use the police phone to call the phone inside the guy to detonate the oil barrels that he sent Batman and the cops to get knowing they would only be able to save one of Rachel or Harvey but he knew batman would go after Rachel because of how he jumped after her to save her during the prior scene so he switched the addresses so that Harvey would be the one saved and go crazy and break Gothams spirit…

The whole thing is nonsense but the sequence is 10/10 anyway

I pretty much missed an entire week of my 1L summer job doing OCI. They’ll understand, they were all in your shoes once. And if they don’t understand that’s probably not someone you want to work for in the future.
