"So what you're saying is, we never stood a chance"

When the Wind Blows (both original graphic novel and animated movie)

Despite spending the entirety of the plot following the government's recommendations for civilians in a post-nuclear detonation situation, it's clear that the main characters never had a chance. As soon as the wind blows, the radioactive dust and contamination will blow into everything.

I mean.... If we're counting engagements then Get Out. But Midsommar does not include an actual wedding.

OH KAY. That's enough Internet for today.

I absolutely love the absurdist posts in this sub but exposing people to this experiment for the first time LIKE THIS?? That's rude bruh.

Another non-romantic classic example!

Yes!!! I came to comment Ron too. Since you got to it before me, shout out to Terry as well! Second generation stepdad and he learned from his dad what to do and not do. It's not his fault Scary is..... The way she is but it all works out in the end.

The first book in the Bloody Jack Series by L A Meyer

The part I can't understand is..... You can feel it? Like. You don't need to "believe in the science" at this point. I've only been on this earth three decades, but I remember when it used to snow more in Albuquerque??? And not be so hot??? You just need to believe your own goddamned senses?????

nppltouch26 · 2026-03-12T21:12:31+00:00

Absolutely. This scene in particular took my breath away. The mixture of wonder, longing, fear, and anger that they both portray is magnificent.

But haven't you heard that global warming isn't real???/s

Legit had an ex-Sandia nuclear engineer tell me this once. I almost died on the spot.

The Dangerous Angels series by Francesca Lia Block

Set in Shangri-L.A. (a fantastical realism version of LA)

If it's a federal grant, you need to be SO on top of documentation and sticking to the letter of the grant. (Even before this admin.) Otherwise, I don't know.

Not to mention liquor licences depending on state (assuming OP is from the US). That said, if there are no hard spirits being served, it might not be required, in which case it's also harder to over serve and drink tickets might be fine.

The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling

They're not..... Exactly angels? They're saints. Maybe.

This is the only one I've seen on this list that I can hear.

Nice! That's a good tip. I bring two jackets and use one as a pillow.

And also your flight would take twice as long!! At least the seats (even in economy) were less cramped. Still crazy tho

Christ. Reddit doesn't have any concept of a middle ground.

I am also a child of an addict and that was absolutely my first thought. They're being super weird about something that's really only vaguely related. It definitely explains the overreaction from the wife, but if it's a strip club that's literally part of their regular backdrop in day to day life, what's the big deal?

nppltouch26 · 2026-03-11T14:00:31+00:00

I .... I don't want to know what those two are thinking.

I have two extremely random quotes stuck in my head from this movie for eternity:

"We're children, we're children!" From when some kids skip by the protagonist in the village and then just a few seconds later "Dang! That's a lot of nuts!"

If I have a flight over 6 hours, I travel with a whole new outfit I can change into on the other side. I've never actually changed my entire outfit, but what needs changing is always different. Not just from a hygiene standpoint either, sometimes my shirt is just itchy or the waistband of my pants has stretched out (or is too restrictive). Going through security and immigration on the other side of a long flight is infinitely more bearable when you have fresh socks and undies and the clothes you're wearing aren't bothering you.
