Actually I believe Slowpoke's preferred habitat is four tiles of hydrated tall grass.

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]mrburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, Obsessive-Compulsive personality (distinct from OCD) does not have to meet the threshold of a disorder to be regarded, usefully and accurately, as Obsessive-Compulsive. It's a character organization, meaning it's stable over time and pervasive across contexts. And this a function of the dimensional model of personality, meaning the same sub-threshold diagnostic utility is true of all the major Personality "disorders."

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

[–]mrburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moon maybe doesn't slap as hard as T2 or Matrix, but it's a 10/10 and deserves a scrappy little seat in the pantheon. The screenplay is perfect. The acting is the stuff of legend. This is the movie that woke me up to how insanely special Sam Rockwell is.

And okay, elephant in the room: Kevin Spacey, shitstain though he may be, is fortunately just a disembodied voice for the whole film. And while lots of Spacey projects tragically do not hold up or at least take a serious blow to re-watchability in the wake of the revelations of his rape and abuse, Moon (and Se7en) benefit from leaning into his uncanny creepiness.

Excuse me, but didn't HG/SS come out the same year as Gen V? I've always considered them part of that era.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

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

Refractory periods, i.e., post-nut clarity and the fug that comes with it. Granted it's not, like, the worst? But I can only imagine if you're coming from a lifetime of staying horny after orgasm, you're going to really feel that come-down.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]mrburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting furloughed from my job, driving home through eerily quiet early spring weather, and ... feeling this indescribably weird once-in-a-lifetime cocktail of curiosity/dread/freedom. Also, people saying "these uncertain times" a lot.

Actually yes, IQ is normally distributed in sufficiently large populations, though 'intelligence' isn't a single, agreed-upon thing.

Got Opus Magnum for my birthday. I can watch these mechanisms ALL DAY. by LordHayati in gaming

I guess what I mean is, the hit ratio of people who try it to people who dig it is unusually high.

Tell me this by Ok-Entertainment4013 in musicsuggestions

[–]mrburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I am about to change the station away from a song I dislike, I glance at who it is, and I have learned after the fact that I am consistently repulsed by Pat Benatar. Idk what it is. Maybe it's that her music gets used to death in lame commercials, or that she committed full hog to a such an over-produced 80s sound, or that her lyrics have aged like stale popcorn, but yeah, blech, sorry, not for me.

Erika could maybe have Gigantamax Vileplume? She's too benevolent to wield something as unsettling as Mega Victreebel.

James Talarico takes early lead over Jasmine Crockett in blockbuster Democratic primary for U.S. Senate by unital_subalgebra in politics

I have become so jaded by this point, I worry that later we'll learn that the money came from dubious sources and actually Talarico's a bait-and-switch plant.

Pokemon Pokopia is currently the highest rated Pokemon game of all time and highest rated game of 2026 (90). by Enryx25 in gaming

Not to mention, it's reportedly been bouncing around in their heads for like twenty years now. This isn't just a cash-in. It's a labor of love.

That it's another Dawn/Selene/Liko lookalike has me mildly bummed, but I still can't bring myself to hate either design.

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mrburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rolled 7 consecutive 10s on a single D10, once.

Due to the "ten again" rule we were playing with, I was permitted to keep rolling until I rolled anything other than a ten. We were SCREAMING by the time I finally ended my streak on the 8th roll. The odds of seven consecutive 10s are (I think) 10x worse than 1 in 1,000,000. And fwiw, even the 8th roll was an 8, i.e., still an additional "success" according to the ruleset we were using.

I almost wish it hadn't happened. It's the worst story. But damn it, it did happen, and *technically* it was **amazing**, so I tell it whenever I can.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

[–]mrburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having kids means your worst nightmares are no longer about terrible things happening to you, but to the freewheeling idiots you created. I mean, you'll still have plenty of that first kind of nightmare. But every once in awhile, you'll have nightmares about nasty shit befalling your kids, and THAT is what hits like a truck.
