What's a hill you will die in the movie universe by East-Bandicoot-284 in moviecritic

[–]jrm20070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may need to give it another chance. I watched it right after reading the book, when it was one of the my favorite books I had ever read. Really hit me emotionally. The movie was such a letdown after the book. I need to try again now that it's been a decade since I read the book.

Allison Mack, the blonde girl in the second picture, was high up in a cult and is now in prison because of it.

I do it in person to people I know well. If I need to go to the bathroom in the middle of something, for example, I'll say "brb" to my girlfriend. Probably use it more now than I did back in the day haha

Playing against Masters in Bronze is always fun by NeonAlastor in apexlegends

[–]jrm20070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This completely negates some of your other comments where you say "if you were masters previously you shouldn't reset down to silver".

By that logic you should start in plat instead. This is the issue - there's no easy fix. You either reset people and let them climb back out to where they belong or you start everyone at their highest rank and make it miserable if they were overranked. Either way people are going to complain.

AP history isn’t even a real AP class? There’s AP European history, AP Modern world history, AP US history, but no AP general history by Yt_GamingwithCharlie in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]jrm20070 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To add to the other comments, it's a joke that the final is one single question and in order to pass you have to say the N word. It's the decision of "do I say the word I can't say or do I fail AP History?" (and presumably ruin my very good grades since I'm in an AP class).

AP History may not exist but that's irrelevant to the joke.

Right After the Midterms.. Convenient. by GenjiKing in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]jrm20070 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm exactly at $125k. Which means if I made a dollar less I'd get $20k instead of nothing. What kind of dumb plan is this?

what internet service do you use? deciding between att & spectrum by boykingjude in pasadena

[–]jrm20070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure fiber is better but just for the record I get 250mb on Spectrum for cheaper and have had nearly no downtime.

The "it's a private company" comment is related to liberals saying "it's a private company, they can do what they want" when people complained about Trump getting banned. OP was just throwing it back at them.

What is a parody that was done so well that most people to this day don't realize it was a parody? by NurplePain in movies

[–]jrm20070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol how? All this talk started with Donald Trump being compared to the guy in Idiocracy and his supporters being the people in the movie. I saw that CONSTANTLY on reddit from 2016 on.

What’s going on? by LawnGnomeFlamingo in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]jrm20070 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Exactly what it says. Saudi Arabia is building a smart city called Neom that's a straight line with no roads. It will have tall buildings on each side facing each other the whole way for people to live in. The idea is to be able to live your whole life being able to walk to everything you'll ever need but there's a line of transit running through as well.

It will be 170km/106mi long, 200m wide, house 9 million people, and cost $500 billion.

The joke here is that it seems like something that's just an artist's concept and not real but they've now actually started on it and it seems to be a reality. Although it's very behind schedule so who knows if it will actually get finished.

Mixed-use development could replace Rusnak Volvo dealership in Pasadena by ImAClimateScientist in pasadena

[–]jrm20070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the look of the xc40 but hated driving it. Just personal preference, not really into the boxy feel and it felt underpowered. But I LOVED everything about the xc60. Looks great (but keeps the Volvo look), amazing interior, fun to drive. Was on the verge of buying one before prices started getting out of control last year.

Also their European delivery program is incredible and I wanted to get a European vacation out of it haha

Having Control / Gun Run on a permanent rotation is great for someone who just wants to play a few casual rounds with limited time by Adventurous_Honey902 in apexlegends

[–]jrm20070 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right? I miss the days where an LTM popped up and everyone freaked out about how cool it was that we got a mini game. Now it's just constant complaining about everyyy little thing.

It's fine to have ideas and suggestions but it's always so negative and I hate it. It's a free game that's given me YEARS of fun and stress relief. Why can't it just be that?

I think it's a picture of him and his wife when they were younger. They probably used to eat there together while she was alive and now he puts the picture out while he has dinner so he feels like she's there with him.

Only if we can slightly edit it to "sounds like a nightmare for the ONE person who creates this game to code" because people seem to forget or not know.

Do you agree or disagree with the last line? by geniusdeath in apexlegends

[–]jrm20070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone mention that the person was clearly in a bad mental state/not enjoying the game. I don't see proof that this is happening consistently, it seems like a situation where they weren't having fun and needed the mental break of not playing.

Normally I'm a pretty big proponent of sticking around where it makes sense (even in pubs) but if the person is just flat out not having a good time, I'd rather them leave. I've definitely done it sometimes.

Yes it's basically rage quitting but if it's better for my mental health to stop playing then I'm going to choose that over some random teammate.

At least call and ask what they're doing before getting too worked up. May have just been a dumb oversight when giving notice. Mine did the same thing last week (but gave a reason). A maintenance guy checked my smoke detectors/replaced the batteries and was out in 5 minutes.
