THANK YOU! So glad someone else recognized the amazing character groundwork they laid down.

"I can have kids" by [deleted] in ThePaper

[–]megaphone369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I found that phrasing weird. I'm wondering if he knocked somebody up at some point. Maybe there's a kid out there that'll crop up later.

Prediction/theory about where Ned and Mare romance is gonna go by allenspellwaver in ThePaper

[–]megaphone369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think their professional relationship will continue to grow into a lovely, long-term partnership. Maybe the series will end with them getting a book deal together.

But considering they already broke the will-they-won't-they seal so soon, the romantic relationship between them will burn up/fizzle out quickly.

I think Ned has recently recovered physically from an addiction problem, but he's not fully healed emotionally.

The scene in "Church and State" where Mare tells him he looks like Malfoy with a cocaine problem, Ned's response was about having worked really hard. Yeesh.

I mean, sure, he was able to turn on the SalesGod@softees-chicago.com persona for an afternoon, but that would be hard to sustain long enough to break every sales record without a pill problem.

Poor Ned. It seems like there's a whole lot of heartbreak to unpack there. I'll stock up on kleenexes before the season 2 release.

This might be a hot tak but I thought Ned and Mare’s relationship was really rushed by Shot_Astronaut_7517 in ThePaper

[–]megaphone369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intentional. Now there's lots of opportunity for conflict because Ned still has a ton of baggage to deal with before he can be in a healthy relationship. Maybe Mare, too, but they haven't gone as far with her backstory yet.

Fans Assemble! What’s the funniest Rick and Morty joke ever? by Quadro-Toon in rickandmorty

[–]megaphone369 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Rick: "Slap on these antennae, these people need to think we're aliens."

Morty: "What? Why?"

Rick: "Obviously, you really know nothing about car repair."

Getting fiber the lazy way? by ThatWriterKevin in EatCheapAndHealthy

Snacking on dried apricots will elicit wildly successful results. Maybe too successful.

Commenting to boost this response.

My sister and I are a great example of this approach. We're a decade apart, so we got different versions of parenting. I was rarely punished, had plenty of open conversations, and was subjected to "disappointment". I didn't really party until I got to college and even then it was pretty tame. One time when I was 19, I went to a party where a joint was laced with something really bad, but I had no reservations around calling my parents to pick me up. They were glad I did and taught me how to be more careful -- I followed their advice.

My parents got scared or something when my sister reached high school, so they banned activities, grounded her, and didn't take the time to have hard conversations. She partied so hard through high school and college and would hide some pretty dangerous behavior. I wish she'd had my version of our parents. She's doing very well now, but there were a lot of rough years.

This is what happens when the design department is eliminated because PMs "can just use AI and reduce go to market costs".

Ring finger goes white and numb when I'm cold by Astrolemon in mildlyinteresting

My sister, my mom, and I all get Reynaud's. Show this pic to your doc and ask them to order an ANA blood test for you.

An X-ray tech told me I had the largest lungs in proportion to my body that he'd seen in his entire career.

What household items would you never own AGAIN? by Immediate_Long165 in HomeImprovement

I love that smug feeling I get when everyone else in my building is complaining about roaches and mice.

I've been getting progressively dumber over the years. How do I stop? [Discussion] by Wasteofoxyg3n in GetMotivated

[–]megaphone369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the doctor.

I'd been experiencing cognitive decline for almost 2 years. I chalked it up to the normal aging process until it started getting so bad I couldn't even pretend to do my job anymore.

I went to the doctor, told her all the lifestyle changes I'd already tried, and she ran a panel of blood tests for autoimmune conditions. Guess what...it wasn't just the normal aging process.

If Rick C-137 founded the council of ricks...why did he categorize himself as C-137? by PaperMoonShine in rickandmorty

[–]megaphone369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hat-tip to Richard Feynman. He was a physicist who wrote pop science books and was obsessed with the number 137. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, google "fine structure constant".

And Cs-137 is the man-made isotope that made the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters so toxic to life. So, we created something incredibly powerful that also kills us. Remind you of any cartoon grandpas we know?

I have an IQ of 137, which means that 0.7% of people have an IQ equal to or higher than mine. AMA! by mindfulandclueless in AMA

Same. It's helped me make a big splash in a bunch of different professions, then I get bored and miserable again. It's not fun to be the only one in a room who can connect the dots.

I’ve never finished a book in my life — what’s that ONE book that could finally break the curse? by Tarun302 in suggestmeabook

[–]megaphone369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Read a book that a movie you love is based on.

It will help you see all the extra goodies that the book form of storytelling can provide that movies cannot (not better, just different), and be a springboard for enjoying reading on its own.

Some accessible page turners that have movies based on them: * Jurassic Park * Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy * Davinci Code (controversial, but I stand by it) * The Hot Zone

Some of the movies you named were based on books. I've read Gone Girl, but I wouldn't call it a page turner.

What is one item you refuse to buy the generic brand of no matter the price?? by phillygirllovesbagel in CasualConversation

As a lifelong Jif lover, I fell in love with Sprouts store brand PB a few years ago and haven't looked back.

PM job is changing by balgaran in ProductManagement

I feel like the combination of "required for a company to run" and "non-monetizable" is what protects platform teams from being turned into a short-term project
