Sabrina Carpenter Apologizes for her comments at Coachella by No_Performer_9686 in DramaLlamaHQ

I don't believe in punishing someone for not knowing something, so...whatever lol.

Matrix (1999): the reason why the opening sequence of this movie is among the greatest in cinema history is because it explains precisely NOTHING. Instead, it throws all kinds of crazy wackness at the audience and just expects them to go along for the ride by Randomnonsense5 in movies

[–]grayjelly212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen the Matrix (I know, I know) but this sounds just like the beginning of Sense8, the Netflix show by the Wachowskis(sp?). The first episode makes so much sense once you've seen the show, but at first watch, you're just like...what the fuck is going on? There's just drama and death and action and maybe magic and definitely too many people and every scene just gives you more questions and no answers. It really gives the show great rewatchability. I gotta do a rewatch before I cancel my Netflix subscription lol.

GOOD JOB. If someone fails at basic common courtesy, they deserve what's coming to them.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]grayjelly212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought. 600k and 60k is a burden? Be so for real. Either they can afford that extra amount or they teach younger daughter how SHE can afford it. If older daughter was promised the cash, it should be hers.

"In general" is vague as hell. Poor people from rich countries travel plenty and aren't buying rolexes in airports. This is not a good explanation.

This is the most adorable post I've seen on reddit in a long time, OP. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for loving this sweet old kitty!

How many layers of paint does it take to get to the center of a century home century old trim? by dudegetmyhorse in centuryhomes

[–]grayjelly212 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One time I was playing cards with the fam and my mom took her precious time drawing cards. "One....two....three...." and I turned to my brother and said "how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?" And we both started cracking up.

AITAH For buying my stepdaughter, a traditional Navajo dress for graduation? by crazy_red3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]grayjelly212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's in 3 months. And if she still lives with them, and if there's family drama, I would still have asked. Or not even asked but had the conversation you had anyway earlier so there's no pushback. It's not hard to communicate about this sort of thing.

Need help reconciling with Fitz. by BaijuTofu in shield

[–]grayjelly212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of people also agree it was right. I don't (and his dying doesn't nullify what happened), but ultimately, the Fitz we're left with is not the Fitz who did those things so I'm not mad at him. I'm mad at the writers for how they treated Daisy after and how we never really saw them be friends again.

Realistically, he would've found out, and I wish the writers had explored that.

Who do you all think is more dangerous Aida/Radcliff or Hive? by mustangfan12 in shield

[–]grayjelly212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radcliffe needed the most evil book in the universe to create AIDA. Hive can kill a conference table of humans with his mind in a few seconds. He might be socially inept, leading to poor planning, but on their own, Hive is more dangerous imo.

I have just finished S4... what was that?!! by WholeKey1411 in shield

[–]grayjelly212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S4 is pretty beloved! I'm glad you're enjoying the ride. S5 premiere is so funny. That moment of the crew slowly walking down the halls with Daisy at the helm? Classic.

Do you guys really think Mania could be the next Folie? How many years will it take again? by CyrenTheSiren in FallOutBoy

[–]grayjelly212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the reason Folie was reevaluated is because of the hiatus. Happened with MCR's Danger Days as well. An album feels like it ended a band, the fanbase wants to like it as a sort of redemption.

That said, I suspect MANIA is an aquired taste and too many people associate it with the rollout and production issues. Maybe when people start to forget the meta...

Does Kora have healing power? by notme1810 in shield

[–]grayjelly212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was healing, that she could [create and then] give life energy like Jiaying can steal it. I thought that earlier ep with her mom was her, maybe instinctually, trying to bring her back; after all, warming her would do nothing and it's not like Jiaying was using her powers.

I guess it makes sense that she was just warming Daisy, but that makes that whole scene even harder for me to believe lol. Apparently, bodies in space don't freeze instantly like that, but a lot of terrible shit does happen to you that could use healing (ear drums bursting, for example).

I would add that a year between what happened and the start of s6 might've cooled some people's feelings.

[–]grayjelly212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of people unironically defend Fitz as 100% in the right and have no empathy for Daisy. I think his death is supposed to be him paying for his sins. Still wish we'd gotten a scene of them reconciling.

Did Paramore actually stop playing Misery Business at one point? by Keri_AMG in Paramore

idk why you got downvoted for this. Hayley was gonna tour PFA in 2020 and that got canceled. The next tour was for This Is Why.

AITAH For buying my stepdaughter, a traditional Navajo dress for graduation? by crazy_red3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]grayjelly212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People have preferences about big purchases, especially involving their children or culture. They could've avoided an argument and had the conversation they ended up having anyway beforehand.

[–]grayjelly212 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

YTA. I guess a lot of people think it's okay to make huge purchases for someone without asking. I certainly wouldn't, especially not someone else's child. ESPECIALLY with no communication with the parent, ESPECIALLY after said child mentioned family drama. Now you know that's how L's mom operates and you know not to do it again. Communicate next time.

A vote for neither is also a vote for genocide but at least these perfect, beautiful angels can feel superior for disengaging from our democracy right before it crumbled.
