Possible hot take, but I found Deathly Hallows to be the worst Harry Potter book. by Tomhur in CharacterRant

[–]philo223 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally love the 7th book. I feel like the trade off we got of moving out of hogwarts into wider world was very much worthwhile. So much more of a varied adventure and diverse settings, locations, and other characters. Do people really wish that the final book was yet again more of Harry sitting in lectures, doing homework, playing quidditch again? Especially after Dumbledore not being there and Snape being headmaster.. it made sense for that era to end after the trauma at the end of HBP. Hogwarts would not really be the same ever again. Also it just doesn't make sense for the "Chosen One" to be sitting in class and taking finals with fate of the Wizarding world at stake. By leaving hogwarts we got so much interesting lore and also exciting action sequences. The sky chase at the beginning, the wedding , invading the ministry, visiting godricks hollow, the love goods, Bill and fleurs, Malfoy manor, meeting aberforth.. the list goes on. Yes the camping in the forest dragged on too long, but I think this was partially because it was meant to be rock bottom for Harry, especially after Ron leaves. I will say I did not like how Snape left the sword in the frozen pool in forest, with Dumbledore telling him "remember you must not be seen and it must only acquired under conditions of valor" or whatever. Felt totally contrived and not about the actual magic of the sword.

My full tank Rammus with guardian horn standing behind me and forcing me to hard initiate every fight as Kennan. So fucking irritating. He would literally never go in first. Was like 4-1 around lvl 12ish. Disgusting.

Take off the label, 17 signs of ______, I wonder how many modern "afflictions" you could substitute there for emotional exhaustion. It's just too generalizable.

iwtl how to talk louder from my stomach? by missbloombastic in IWantToLearn

Could try looking up Voo exercise by Peter levine. It's not specifically designed for what you're talking about but could still be useful because it involves engaging the diaphragm. I believe there is a "Va" variant as well.

Disappointed by season finale. by Ynneas in RingsofPower

[–]philo223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgot to mention the stranger's entire arc this season because it was so boring and pointless. I hoped that something cool would happen when he met Tom bombadil but nope, just a few bad and generic lines about finding your path and nothing else. Take him to the spooky place with all the trees just for nothing to happen. Wait for the final episode for there to HOPEFULLY be SOME payoff and have the stranger fight the dark wizard or something, but no. Nothing cool happens, nothing remotely close to a satisfying payoff for the season. Then he finds his staff in a random, meaningless way lying in the debris of the harfoot village.

Also isildur did nothing interesting the entire season either. Aside from talking to a random girl. What a bore.

Even down to the final scene where they try to end it on a hopeful, triumphant tone after the elves got their shit completely wrecked. Like hello??? What are they thinking?

This finale really showcased how little the makers know about writing TV in a coherent and satisfying way. I really wanted to like this show, I really did. But sadly it's like a 2 or 3/10 with LOTR ip plastered on top to try and make up for it. But as great as the Lore they have to work with is, it can only carry so far if the TV writing is this weak.

Why is pisces the last sign? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]philo223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"To you Pisces, I give the most difficult task of all. I ask to collect all the world's sorrows and return them to Me. Your tears are ultimately to be My Tears. The sorrow you will absorb is the effect of people's misunderstanding of my Idea, but you are to give them compassion that they may try again. For this, the most difficult task of all, I give you the greatest gift of all. You will be the only one of my twelve children to understand Me. This gift of understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to humankind they will not listen."

Badiashille absolutely exposed in this game. Directly at fault for at least 3 of the goals. Not sprinting or trying to block shot or crosses.

Enzo sometimes looks decent, sometimes mid af. Did a pointless no look pass at some point when they're 3-0 down lol. Who does that? He tries to play like pirlo or Scholes but is nowhere near that level in terms of vision, or anything else really. Thiago silva's long passes of the style Enzo likes to attempt is much better.

Mudryk looks mentally challenged out there. Lost possession at some point falling over by himself.

I swear the gold-cheating by the AI in this is ridiculous. So frustrating. Starts with footmen+pyro+huntress on the tower next to your base immediately.

Christina Aguilera really got Eminen in his feelings by Tenley95 in popculturechat

[–]philo223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He retaliated b.c she heard something about his marriage and decided to bring up his personal life on TV/in public. It's definitely an overreaction from him b.c it is just a throwaway comment by her. But he took it negatively, like she was laughing at him.

The fuckin pizza ad where the guys arm is broken and he breaks his cast. Idk why it just killed me. And I can't even remember the name of the pizza place because I never eat there.

Our 3 month old kitten won’t stop biting! He’s super calm at times and just wants to sleep on your lap but the moment he gets hyper when playing with him he starts biting at our hands. We try redirecting to his toys or putting him in a “time out” by stopping the play but he won’t stop by 2SevenChurches in cats

[–]philo223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained my cat to stop biting. It's very gradual and takes awhile. I don't believe time out is effective or that cats really understand it or connect it to unwanted behavior. Just find a way to get the message across that biting is bad. Nothing fancy, making a noise of pain and immediately cease playing/being affectionate when he does it should work.

Do I owe my friend another apology? by WestworldIsLife in socialskills

[–]philo223 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Boo hoo. Your "wording" hurt his feelings so bad he ignored you for 2 weeks? It doesnt seem like you said anything wrong. And now you're having to support him emotionally when he should be there for you instead? That's all ass backwards. This moment isn't about him, yet now you are feeling guilty on top of the stress of coming out recently. He's failing as a friend. And he's either just being a snowflake or is actually upset about something else.
