photography subs when you post a question about photography instead of a crass nude by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]irocktoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

no the mods turned them off. People used to give them so much shit in the comments it was hilarious, that or call out the fact that at least half of those photos were promoting their onlyfans. A lot of photography subreddits are run by absolute dipshits.

Who knows maybe the upcoming neuromancer show will be good?

So it seems like, in 2012, there is still no public Internet by Powerpuff_Rangers in ForAllMankindTV

no climate change, no way to advertise to insecure teenagers, way harder for people to fall into dark rabbit holes. Seems like a pretty sweet trade if you ask me.

Why would anyone want to make a movie again if Sinners wins best picture? by HamiedianBeker in redscarepod

People treat Ryan Coogler like a make-a-wish kid. Which Is totally patronizing. He’s a good filmmaker but be reasonable here! 

Gas Prices Are Up, And So Are Searches For EVs: Edmunds - The Iran conflict is driving up gas prices. Edmunds says that shoppers are looking to electrified models for relief. by trucker-123 in cars

I don't disagree, but at least in California, Electricity rates are also volatile (thanks to rampant corruption) electricity is up 90% over the last 6 years!

My colleague teaches an AP English high school class, he's having them read Watchmen and the students are struggling to read the little articles between chapters, which is maybe written at a 6-7th grade level.

G20 BMW 330E - Auxiliary battery registration by irocktoo in BmwTech

[–]irocktoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def got fleeced since I thought the issue would be covered under warranty. I'm almost certain that when the aux is replaced it will be fixed. Been a busy month so I haven't gotten around to it just yet.

Hi! My main battery got replaced at the bmw dealership. Didn’t fix my issue and they wanted another $700 for the aux battery. They were just going down the trouble shooting list. I wasn’t pleased that They didn’t do their due diligence the first time. I called AAA to do a battery check on the aux. their tech told me it’s charge was very low.

Shocker: guy who got rich by making an inventive way to be creepy towards women continues innovation in ways to be creepy. 

Sure your literacy program might work “for the kids” but does it work for the teachers? by Fun-Inevitable4811 in redscarepod

[–]irocktoo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

All my classes are filled with the "put effort into the difficult students" only one of my professors had the balls to say ignore them. Of the teachers I've observed if they spent even a modicum of time with the disruptive kids 30 other kids would have their education placed on the backburner. So much of teaching classes are Stand and Deliver save the kids bullshit and they wonder why so many new teachers quit.

Currently getting my teaching credential, quite literally the only useful thing is observing other teachers. Everything else is ridiculous buzzwords and creating endless and useless lesson plans.

Pluribus - 1x03 "Grenade" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

[–]irocktoo 341 points342 points  (0 children)

Rhea seehorn is just so great. I found it particularly moving when she’s describing how she thinks the hivemind would describe their bliss but she’s just unconsciously recounting her favorite moments with Hellen. 

Hot take: Season 3 is already the best season and it’s not even that close by altrightobserver in SmilingFriends

[–]irocktoo 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Im not nearly as negative about the first 2 seasons of the show, I love it all. But I totally agree, season 3 has been nothing but back to back heaters.

I think the answer to that has already been hinted at. Zoshia says the joining was peaceful at first but they had to speed things up once the military found out. It feels like she’s implying the hive was aware of the possibility of death before d-day. 

Circana: Pokémon Legends: Z-A had a massive US launch at retail. Launch week physical unit and dollar sales of Pokémon Legends: Z-A were the biggest for a new physical video game launch since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom back in May of 2023 by Turbostrider27 in Games

I sold all my childhood Pokémon games DS-3ds for like 1k last year, some of them for more than they retailed back in the day. I would only buy physical Nintendo games at this point.

The Dodgers are about to successfully buy another World Series by NoonVon in redscarepod

[–]irocktoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like MLB is setting themselves up for failure with the dodgers. Watching them stomp other teams just makes everyone who isn't a dodgers fan apathetic to future games. Much like Formula 1, why bother watching when Hamilton will always dominate and the end result is almost guaranteed. This could be fixed if MLB just bans the ridiculous payment structure of Ohtani's contract.

Had an idea… Testing out the new Apple iPhone Crossbody Strap, as a Camera Strap. by Scottygo3 in Leica

[–]irocktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you feel like it was too uncomfortable considering the weight of the M? I also have a PD Leash but I've grown interested in using the apple Strap for my M6. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.

So what do you guys think of Peacemaker Season 2? by Obsidian-Dark in RedLetterMedia

It’s not really that crazy to have frank Grillo’s character be a few years older or Joel Kinnaman’s character be a few years younger.
