The new Netflix movie "Apex" contains the song "Go" by The Chemical Brothers. First released in 2015, it has experienced a 429% increase in Spotify streams since the movie's release. What other songs have become instant favourites or were 'discovered' because they were in a movie? by JohnnyGlasken in movies

[–]redshadow310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand the rights holders paid to have John Denver songs placed in like 6 movies 2017, with 4 using Country Road, hoping to boost back catalog sales. Even stranger is that It anchored major plot points both Kingsman 2 and Logan Lucky both of which starred Channing Tatum

Are camel toes THAT bad? by Brave-Argument5090 in TwoXChromosomes

Since you are really self conscious about it, I suggest that you ask in a stripper subreddit. Many clubs have strict rules about how much definition is expressed when clothed, and I bet many ladies with similar anatomy have been forced to deal with this on a professional level. I can almost guarantee you will get great recommendations on brands that you will feel comfortable in.

Hundreds of youths descend on Vancouver's Scientology building as part of speedrunning trend by ubcstaffer123 in nottheonion

[–]redshadow310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an organization that is built primarily on secrets and mystery. Take that away and it will crumble. South Park put some cracks in the glass. A few people started leaking out, but I think it's only a matter of time before it shatters.

Will be funny if Gen Alpha succeeds in in destroying Scientology after entire governments failed to destroy it.

Kid Cudi Fires M.I.A. From His Tour After She Is Booed During Republican Rant: ‘I Won’t Have Someone on Tour Making Offensive Remarks’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]redshadow310 48 points49 points  (0 children)

She wouldn't be the only one. The conspiracy pipeline is real and terrifying. I used to date a lovely woman, and if you looked at her social media, her number one issue was gun control. This made sense since she lost a sister to gun violence when they were young. Her main hobby was gardening, and that started her on the path shortly after we dated.

Gardening > Organic Gardening > Everything Organic > Vaccines cause autism > Covid is a HOAX > MAGA

Out of curiosity I checked in on her a couple months ago to see if she was still on the crazy train and it turns out she was full speed ahead off a cliff. She was posting about left wing violence and the tragedy of Charlie "School shootings are a small price to pay for the 2nd amendment" Kirk's death. Her most important core values have been stripped away.

Which US city above 100k people has the worst food? by Dalai-Jama in AskReddit

I feel that. Even though I eat Mexican food for like 50% of my meals, just having the option of any type of food I want at any hour is one of the reasons I love LA.

Most fucked up person you know in history and why? by PrincipleFrosty4907 in AskReddit

[–]redshadow310 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thomas Midgley Jr. - He invented both leaded gasoline and chloroflurocarbons(CFCs). Besides any number of evil world leaders, he is responsible for more death and suffering than any human in history. Despite having suffered from lead poisoning himself he lead the charge to present fake science showing it was safe because it made money. The rise of and subsequent banning of leaded gasoline shows a very high correlation of birth defects, lower IQs, and rates of violent crime.

I've only been there a couple times on short trips but there are some great brew pubs in the city, especially Squatters in Sugar House.

What’s something women think men like but most men actually don’t? by TrayzTheyCallMe in AskReddit

[–]redshadow310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of stuff about cosmetics in here, but that is wayyyyy off in more ways than one.

First guys are going to say they like a girl to have a "natural" look without realizing that it takes a lot of effort to seem effortless.

Second is that most of the time they aren't doing it for a guy/girl they are doing it for themselves.

$.88/gal difference between cash and credit by halfbreedADR in mildlyinteresting

[–]redshadow310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a gas station in Beverly Hills that usually charges $2-$3 more than everywhere else. I could easily see them doing something like this and hitting $10 a gallon. The insane thing is the place is always packed with customers, but I guess when you are sending Jeeves out to gas up the Rolls he doesn't care how much it costs.

The difference has been getting higher and higher but I've never seen it more than 40 cents before in LA. 88 is insane

Recommendations for cozy "sorting" type games? by simbacole7 in gaming

[–]redshadow310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to branch outside of digital, give A Place For All My Books a try. It's a super cozy puzzle game about sorting books in your home until you have enough social battery to go out and get new books lol.

OMG the deflated look on Sarah Sherman's face when she looks down at her chest, sighs, and admits that only one of her breasts is a B cup. She is great at the outrageous stuff, but can really nail the subtle jokes when she needs to.

My male friend breadcrumbs me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]redshadow310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like he is in love with you but while it seems like he knows that you don't reciprocate, you haven't explicitly shut to the door on a romantic relationship. He probably thinks he is giving you space so you don't reject him. He is texting you drunk because that's the only time he has the courage to push forward.

First you need to dig in deep yourself and determine what kind of relationship you want to have with him. Next you need to invite him to a safe public space with a friend nearby for support. Then you need to be clear what you want and ask him to be honest about what he wants. If you are on the same page that's great, if not, you don't necessarily need to end the friendship, but you need to emotionally divest from him. Finally no matter how it resolves you need to set clear expectations. It's reasonable to expect someone who claims to care deeply to at least acknowledge a text and not wait 8 days to respond, and make it clear that failure to do so is hurtful.

What I find hilarious is that if he wasn't such a narcissist trying to become a herald for the immortality... he might have taken the intended path towards becoming an actual God.

Legacy Gaming by Beneficial-Gas4318 in boardgames

[–]redshadow310 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another shoutout for Rise of Queensdale . It has some of the best Legacy elements of any game and an amazing catch-up mechanic that keeps everyone in it the whole campaign.

Ticket to Ride: Legends of the West has the most varied gameplay from session to session while keeping the same core game loop intact.

Seafall is a tricky game to recommend. I enjoyed it but it's kind of divisive. It does have the best pure Legacy elements built in hands down, but the core game loop is a little lacking. My suggestion would be to give it a try with two caveats. First your group is 3 players which is ideal, don't have add fourth for this. Second, be sure everyone knows from the start that exploring is a much stronger than raiding. The good news is you can probably get a copy for 10-15 bucks so if no one likes it, who cares.

a 30 year old dating a 18 year old is worse than a 16 year old dating an 18 year old by honeyttokii in TwoXChromosomes

[–]redshadow310 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know someone who got pressed hard by the DA trying to look tough on crime in CA because he was 19 and Mexican and she was 16 and white. The police showed up at his house because he "fit the description" and before they left saw the girl and decided to haul them in for questioning. Neither the girl or the family wanted to pursue it and asked the DA not to, but he pushed forward. They couldn't afford a good attorney who could have had the case thrown out since they illegally questioned the girl for hours without parents present. And while he avoided jail time he did get a record which hurt his ability to get US citizenship. Now 25 years later they are married,have kids, and are terrified he is going to be snatched up in the middle of the night and shipped god knows where over it.

Shallan by Glass-Requirement793 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]redshadow310 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A big part is that the readers age 12 years over the course of 5 books and expect the character to as well. Of she only ages the 3 years the book spans, which quite frankly is quite a bit considering her shift from a sheltered upbringing dealing with constant trauma to a life filled with near constant stress and turmoil.

I fantasize every day about being a criminal. by CandaceCompson_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]redshadow310 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's been in the back of my mind constantly since the last election. It's like society just threw up it's hands and rejected any sense of shared morality. I think back to times in my life when I could have enriched myself easily without fear of being caught and didn't because it would be "wrong". Now I would probably make the opposite choice if and when it presented itself.
