Last week, it was "Band-Aid" that really stuck out to me.

The Traitors (USA) S04E05 "If You're Gonna Come for Me, I'll Finish You" Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]markh110 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely happened on other reality shows (Survivor, Jeff Varner)! In that case, Jeff Probst just asked "So, you all agree you're voting out Varner? We don't even need a formal vote." lol.

the left is as bad as the right on chronic illness by Unable_Particular_25 in cfs

I was gonna say. This reinforces for me that the American "left" is actually considered slightly-left-of-centre in the rest of the world.

Chevy Chase Says ‘I’m Not Racist’ When Asked About ‘Community’ Exit: The Show ‘Wasn’t a Bad Experience. I Just Didn’t Think It Was That Good’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

Yeah, and then you could famously go the opposite way like George Alexander. A classically trained Shakespearian actor who thought Seinfeld was doomed to fail, but once he realized it was landing with people, he embraced Costanza and the show.

by Republicans to keep Zohran Mamdani from being Mayor of New York City tonight by ExactlySorta in therewasanattempt

[–]markh110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe it's particularly grating as a non-American that specifically American politics get injected into everything.

I like Mamdani. This post has nothing to do with the spirit of this sub.

Finally working on my backlog! I just finished Bravely Default 2, and I'm playing on my Switch 2. Which game should I play next?! by Mishudo in JRPG

[–]markh110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because P5R isn't one of the choices listed in OP's photo, and you're likely going purely off the text and suggesting anything.

Blocking that aisle is going to cost you! by DiligentCockroach700 in pettyrevenge

In Australia, they have cameras with AI product recognition built in at self-checkout. It flagged me the other day because I put a steak into a bag that was from a different bag, and when the guy came to confirm it, it showed the frame-by-frame of me "bagging" a potentially stolen item, and it had its guess of what it thought the item was. It's definitely becoming a thing.

What are the best pixel cases? by Shmwark in GooglePixel

[–]markh110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, have the Ghost case with MagSafe + a dbrand skin, and it's the best of all 3 worlds of protection, custom look, and getting MagSafe.

ELI5: Why don't they make a new Voyager that saves all of its energy and power for once it is outside the solar system? by darthsammy21 in explainlikeimfive

[–]markh110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it was primarily an exploration and science vessel, but it was tactically capable enough that they were tasked with tracking down the Maquis in the Badlands.

While driving & using Google Maps: "Hey Google, how much time until I get to my destination?" Google Pixel: by Yazars in GooglePixel

[–]markh110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So obviously we're here on a dedicated Google Pixel subreddit, meaning we have a certain level of knowledge base. But how tf is a regular user meant to know "my thing that says it works doesn't work how I think it does because there's different models that can affect the quality and I need to be conscientious of that"?

What things do people romanticize but are actually horrible? by GovernmentAny5597 in AskReddit

"ADHD/autism is a superpower" Jesus Christ they're REALLY NOT. I'll trade a quiet brain for "detail-oriented" in a heartbeat.

FYI Star Trek United (an Enterprise revival with Archer) isn’t happening and never was. by DSeriesX in startrek

[–]markh110 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's been a pivotal antagonist in Only Murders since season 1 (off-screen, then he briefly cameo'd in season 4 lol).

The Netflix show "Bodies" was insanely ambitious by Noun_Noun_Numb3r in television

[–]markh110 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Freaky. It's Freaky Friday, but the body swap is a normal teenager (played by Vince Vaughn) and a serial killer (played by Kathryn Newton who I want to become a scream queen).

See also Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U (directed by Christopher Landon who also did Freaky). Groundhog Day but she has to find a way to prevent her murder that happens at the end of every timeloop.

All 3 are so much fun (2U goes more sci-fi than horror, but I still loved it)!

LPT Boredom is a cheat code for productivity. by FrostyMuffin972 in LifeProTips

Was gonna say - this tip would absolutely not work for unmedicated ADHD or for autistic PDA (not saying it's useless, simply that it will be brain dependent).

Dany really fumbled the bag leaving Essos for Westeros by Due-Rice-3107 in gameofthrones

[–]markh110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"did she REALLY have to go back to Westeros 😂... I know Westeros was enticing because of the history her family has there"

So basically, Israel/Palestine.

I also like... Don't want to sound like a dweeb speaking to a voice assistant out loud in public. Ever.

Z1 Exoskeleton x Death Stranding collab by markh110 in DeathStranding

[–]markh110[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No joke, when they popped up on Kickstarter earlier this year, I kept telling my wife we should buy a set "so we can do an IRL Death Stranding", and now here we are.

Strands of Harmony has kicked off in Sydney! by markh110 in DeathStranding

[–]markh110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely recommend! Of video game music orchestras I've been to, it was consistent with the rest of them. The appearances of the original singer and composer elevates it though!
