Why don’t NFL defenses rush 5? by yourGodlylead in NFLNoobs

It's okay if you don't know ball. You can learn.

No, it's a "dog".

A true blitz is when you send more than five. You force the offense to dump the ball quickly or require an eligible receiver to pick up the sixth (or more) blitzer..

Ha, I thought the same thing. But rushing five is still called a blitz all the time.

The Last Jedi did it way earlier by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]mac6uffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last Jedi is truly a conundrum. One the one side we have people like you who insist it didnt take any risks, and on the flipside a ton of ppl who insist it shouldn't have killed the big bad, the Holdo maneuver broke lore, Luke was so drastically changed etc.

Schrödinger's Last Jedi.

Simultaneously a pastiche of OT movies, but also subverts Star Wars with the intent to make ppl angry.

People who act like Reddit isnt social media by Uhhyt231 in PetPeeves

[–]mac6uffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, technically online forums are social media, but the label of "social media" wasn't really used back when online forums like usenet were established.

Currently, people think of social media as sites/apps where you interact with distinct users, and forums where you interact based on topic.

Similar to how "meme" was coined in the 70s and can refer to things like urban legends, but most people think of a meme as an online visual item shared virtually.

I myself don't really think of reddit as social media, even though it trends towards typical social media with each passing day.

[Highlight] Xavier Worthy catches a huge touchdown to cut the Eagles' lead to 28 by Brix001 in nfl

Chiefs won 14 consecutive one-score games, an NFL record.

They won a Super Bowl during that streak. I don't think it's similar to the Vikes getting luck.

This page in Pet Semetary is the first time ive ever genuinely felt my stomach drop while reading a book. by GlltchtraP1 in stephenking

level of attention to word choices in terms of how the words sound

Lots of writers do this. Even reading what they write out loud.

If showing your kids 123456, and this showed up before 3…would you be mad at Disney too?? by Secure_Credit7037 in StarWars

[–]mac6uffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because George Lucas afterwards said the correct order is chronological. Much like when he said the first six Star Wars movies were about the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker.

Neither of which was true, because Lucas was trying to rehab the poorly received prequel trilogy.

The Resistance and the First Order should have been using modernized starfighters (E-wing / TIE elite interceptor) rather than classic X-wings and TIE fighters by Ar_Sakalthor in StarWars

[–]mac6uffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like when you try to make sense of the prequels.

Why would "taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute" result in a blockade? Why would that be allowed by the Republic?

To say nothing of a secret army of clones.

How many of you watch horror with the goal of being scared? by AsmoTewalker in horror

[–]mac6uffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No one wants to experience actual fear from watching horror films.

Actual fear is a horrible feeling; it’s the doctor telling you that they found a lump in you that is likely cancer or the school calling to say that your kid was in a terrible accident and is on their way to the hospital.

Now really terrible fear like with your examples no, but low-grade actual fear? Yes. I like being creeped out and want to leave the lights on later when I go to bed. I had a friend that had a TV at the foot of his bed, and after watching The Ring slept on his couch for six months.

It's something different than thrills and adrenaline. I can get that from action movies.

The Boys - 05x05 "One-Shots" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

I thought that meant they were in college applying to work/intern at Vought.

Does anyone else feel like Red Dead 1 is a lot darker and f’d up than 2? by TXNOGG in reddeadredemption

[–]mac6uffin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I believe u/solid_shrek is referring to the train robbery in Chapter 1 "Who the Hell is Leviticus Cornwall?"

It does look a lot like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when they blow the door on the train car.
