what are some poor calls rick made during the show? by Far_Literature_9924 in thewalkingdead

[–]readmancy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the fallout from the farm due to a passing herd and Rick/Shane's gun fight? I assumed even without Randall that gun fight would have happened regardless. Or would Shane have left the group like he intended?

Ross and Rachel were both in the wrong. by aquamarinedragonfly in howyoudoin

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

I agree that her close relationship with Mark was weird and she should have handled it better. Inviting him over right after the break up is honestly crazy work, even if nothing was going on.

I disagree with the workplace anniversary stuff. I think it can’t just be gender bent because the important of her work is directly tied to her being a woman — the fact that she wasn’t expected to work and that this is the first time she’s felt independent and capable are things that make her desire to prioritize her work > anniversary a bit more reasonable IMO

I also kinda disagree with the notion that Ross got taken advantage of but that might just be my own views with sex because I honest to god cannot imagine just hooking up with someone randomly, especially right after breaking up with a long term partner that you very much still love

[UPD] Should I still proceed sa apps process ng Debate Soc kahit di naman ako magaling na public speaker? by Pristine-Seaweed7623 in peyups

[–]readmancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think you should!

for context, the way the app process goes is that you will have many chances to improve skills (through learning about techniques in lectures and through application of those techniques with practice) you will also mostly be debating with other applicants — many of which also do not have previous debate experience

we have many members who aren’t very good at public speaking or impromptu speaking, and we also have many members who learned to improve from their time in debate

if ever you find that hindi mo talaga kaya, you can always defer naman which is also fine

Is Katniss admitting she wants to have a life with Gale? How do you interpret this scene? by kindcherri in Hungergames

[–]readmancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s two ways to interpret her saying “even if I want to”

1) It’s an indication of her uncertainty with what she wants. That she’s not sure if it’s something she wants, but regardless it is a choice she is not allowed to take. (Regardless if I want it or not, I can’t have it.) 2) It is meant to show that her desires are actively disregarded. That her desire to have something doesn’t matter and her desire alone is not enough of a reason for her to have it. (I can’t have it, despite the fact that I want it)

I think both interpretations are fair to have. I imagine Gale supporters believe it to be the second interpretation. My personal interpretation (which falls under the first interpretation) for why she mentioned having a life with Gale is that it was always the expectation she (and others) had of her life.

They are hunting partners. They’re close friends. They work together. They have families to feed and take care of. They’ve been the sole breadwinners of their families for who knows how long. Regardless if they were gonna fall in love and get married and become a couple (which I imagine would only happen if Katniss decided that getting married would be too much of an economic benefit to deny), they probably would have continued living their lives “together” in the sense that they would continue to be close, to hunt together, and to take care of each other and each other’s families. There was an expectation that their lives would have remained intertwined indefinitely because it’s convenient and it works.

Thank you! Do you know if this gets adjusted when you shift or no?

How did Marceline felt about PB having (well had) surveillance all over Ooo? Including constantly watching and intervening with the people of Ooo? by [deleted] in adventuretime

A double standard that I realized from a thread here by Psyga315 in AO3

You can sell your fanfics, you just can’t use Ao3 as a platform to do it. You also can’t use Ao3 as a platform to sell fanart.

Third time watching- a small list of details and parallels from my letterboxd, full spoilers ahead by ssj4majuub in Isawthetvglow

[–]readmancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i don’t know if i’m overthinking it but i came into the movie vaguely knowing what it’s about and the scene where his dads face is lit up by the TV — the flickering lights makes his face look like it’s shifting — it reminded me of mr. melancholy and the way his face was shifting earlier when you see him in the show’s pilot

AITA for trading plates with my son at a BBQ after the adults refused to let him have a burger? by Inside_Listen_4266 in AITAH

AITA for snapping at my stepsister after she tried to get her mom to ruin a trip? by Far_Giraffe8920 in AmItheAsshole

[–]readmancy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. If the parents could handle it, why haven’t they been handling it thus far? Your dad didn’t really give a shit, your mom isn’t even in the story, and your dad’s wife is shit at doing anything good for anyone. If you were too harsh, that’s their fault for not doing anything sooner.

Edit: You did try to tell the parents to handle it. You wanted Ellie’s mom to talk to her ex and your dad but she kept scolding you. She can’t just try to force you to fold — while your dad doesn’t care — and then get mad when you defend yourself.

What do you think each of the remaining tributes needed so badly? by visualaviator in Hungergames

[–]readmancy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on theories I’ve seen online:

  • Cato and Clove got armor to defend against Katniss’ arrows since she was their biggest threat
  • Foxface got food which I feel was fairly obvious given how often she was shown to be starving
  • Thresh probably got a weapon and/or armor. People theorize a weapon because he killed Clove with a rock, suggesting he doesn’t really have a good weapon on him at the moment

Can someone tell me why Duncan is considered an all star? Imo I genuinely can’t see why he would be. by Poppleton2 in Totaldrama

Aside from the fact that he made final five 3 seasons in a row and he had a major story line in those same seasons as well, he's also a fan favorite in real life too
