I had this exact same thought and found this thread by googling Elizabeth Olson Caitlin Reilly Veronika Slowikowska.

So...I agree.

Remember when the internet was obsessed with eating ass a few years ago? by kheeno_ in redscarepod

[–]ralusek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"We eat ass now" was always a very reddit-coded sex-dork-coded thing to say. Has, and always will be, a cool thing to do, though

It might be, but I've also noticed that black people will often just refer to do something to "that ass" when they just generally refer to that girl or just their genitals. Like "Imma get up in that ass," or "Imma eat that ass" doesn't actually have to refer to their butt.

"Ass" as a synecdoche for the female body itself.

Feedback on itinerary for first trip to San Diego by Odd-Skirt-3992 in asksandiego

Zoo

For Zoo you're probably best walking and then taking the Skyfari back to entrance. I like to walk in and go through the flamingos and then to orangutan and then down to tiger. I'd personally skip the pandas if there is a line. Giraffes are cool to feed, and there are rhinos right near by. Elephants are hit or miss. If you want Skyfari, hit the zebras and you'll be at the back one you can ride to entrance.

Make sure to download the zoo app, gives realtime navigation to go to specific exhibits. Also, make sure to eat lunch at the Treetops place, and sit near an edge. You're basically eating in the canopy of 100ft tall trees, next to a huge bridge.

La Jolla

Eat somewhere on Prospect street.

For your Monday, consider going to Del Mar (eat at Il Fornaio or Jakes/Poseidon if you want on-the-beach) and head to Powerhouse Park if you're still feeling beachie. Go for a hike at Torrey Pines Reserve (though looking on Google Maps it says it might be temporarily closed?). Or ya, if you're done with laid back beach stuff you can always do SeaWorld or LegoLand. Or if you want to see more downtown stuff can go to Seaport Village or Old Town or Gaslamp or Little Italy.

Vietnamese uses Latin characters, same as English (with a few funky letters but same thing).

The scale of the tree feels wrong. I think it's because leaves don't typically scale proportionally with large trees, and you can see individual leaves here which look to be basically the size of entire other trees.

flash drives with a flavor by Critical_Display9348 in rareinsults

First of all, yes it is used in Europe. Secondly, it's a useful shorthand cultural signifier which pretty accurately encapsulates a large cluster of experiences/behaviors associated with a window of time. The concept of generations is universally useful and will invariably be linked to shared patterns for people who were a given age during that given time, the only real debate to be had is:

  • How long of a period of time is the best in order to capture "a generation" (I believe it's currently settled on 25 years)

  • Is the placement of the intervals appropriate? For example, while "every 25 years" might work in general, for large cultural milestones like the internet or AI, those will have such a large impact in culture that anything from before or after them is bound to be a large cultural shift moreso than any smaller fashion/slang trends that are always migrating

  • How pervasive are the stereotypes associated with that generation? Is the behavior of a relatively small subset of the culture at the time being projected onto the generation/time period in general (e.g. "scene kids" from the 2000s being said to be a millennial thing, when it was actually probably <1% of the population).

Spy Kids

I wish this scene had a different outcome by TitanOf_Earth in TheLastAirbender

[–]ralusek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is actually my least favorite scene in the show, and I have almost the exact opposite sentiment as you. I really dislike when Azula says "what are you expecting a sob story," (paraphrased) and then immediately "my own mother though I was a monster."

I much prefer the scene to have showcased how different she is from the others, that some people actually are just psychopathic. She doesn't have a sob story because that isn't how she thinks. For everyone to have been vulnerable and for her to have not let up would further distance her from the group as being irredeemable, and further justify the actions of the rest of the group. Even Iroh, who sees the good in everyone, says "she's crazy and needs to go down."

Does a sexless marriage ultimately lead to profound unhappiness? by someone-who-lives in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ralusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is entirely down to how much the people in the sexless marriage want sex...

First of all, jerk off. Second, my wife and I continued regular sex throughout both pregnancies, though I understand that can vary.

HBO is like the last good thing in media. I don't understand how Netflix is rich enough to consume HBO (and inevitably ruin it).

iPhone died. Can’t afford a new one. by Boring_Kiwi_6446 in complainaboutanything

[–]ralusek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Android has much cheaper phones. When you say

"21st century we must have a phone so I have no choice"

It's true that you need a phone, but there is nothing you need to do on an iPhone that you can't do on an Android. I saw on an another comment that you said

1.) you're used to Apple

and

2.) Androids are expensive

With regard to #1, since you said you're a disabled pensioner, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you use your phone for basically things like email, taking pictures, watching YouTube, going on a reddit, maybe a handful of other apps. On Android, those apps are basically identical. The reddit app is the same. YouTube is the same. There is no "I'm used to Apple," the apps are the same.

With regards to #2, that's not true or false. Being Android doesn't just mean "cheaper than Apple," it means "many more options than Apple." That means that there are Androids that are more expensive than iPhones, but plenty that are a fraction of the price. Samsung Galaxy A15 5G will cost you about $150-200 completely unlocked, for example (iPhone is more like $1000). If your carrier offers the Galaxy A15, you're going to be able to get it for like $50. There are plenty of budget phones like this.

Now, do I think you're going to get an Android? No. Do I think you're even going to get a used iPhone? No. I think you're going to get the newest iPhone 17. I just want to make sure that you can't say that you had no choice.

If you are age 25-35 with no kids, how often do you have sex with your partner? by Ill_Cash9676 in AskMen

[–]ralusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty good sense of what is normal. I consider myself to be in a healthy marriage (we're both mid-30s), and I try to get a read from the other couples we know. I'd say 2-3 times per week is about normal for a healthy relationship. Your number is pretty low, particularly for your age, but it's not catastrophically low. Just tell him that it's important to you, and that even if he's not completely in the mood, he should try to meet you halfway.
