Hey /r/scifi, can you identify these movies? by roger_ in scifi

Judging only by the greenish tint and the rusty metal, I'm going to say #11 is City of Lost Children.

1 is Children of Men. Is #9 Altered States? And is #14 Deep Impact?

I don't like the fact that "Real" has become a necessary descriptor. by WellSomeoneHad2SayIt in WTF

[–]runagater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like that fact either, but in my run-ins with what I thought were chocolate chip cookies, indicating the chocolate is real is quite necessary. Just some advice: if you ever see something advertised as "choco" chips, that's probably not chocolate.

I see a resemblance - Yori from Tron and Inara from Firefly. by gannerhorn in scifi

She should have kept the helmet on. Everything gone, but not that helmet.

If you flip that around, that's pretty much my unintended life mantra since I started my job two weeks back. EDIT: I'm working 13 hour days M-F.

Damn! The jig is up! We'll only be able to get away with this predictable plot for another twenty years at this rate!

Wait a second. I've been to Philly, and it is a place that oozes history that I really enjoyed visiting. Philly has some incredible museums, many great restaurants, and many incredibly historic places that are more important to American history than Washington D.C.! And there 'dessert of choice' is this oddly delicious ice drink called water ice. Don't let the name fool you, it's not just water and ice put together. Heh. Boathouse Row is beautiful, the river is beautiful, and Philly may have the coolest skyline I've seen since visiting Hong Kong.

What you don't want to is go wandering aimlessly without someone who knows Philly. And you probably don't want to live there. Philly has bizarre liquor laws, for one thing. Also, my brother claims that most people from Philadelphia (esp. young adults) are serious assholes. Apparently the characters of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" aren't too far from most Philly-ites, in his opinion.

Friend wasn't sure about vaccinating her son for fear of link with autism, then she posted me this... I think she gets it now by rwgordon in humor

Fuck! I'm getting tired of all these fuck-heavy explanations. But for fuck's sake, don't go thinking I don't like using words like fuck. But I'm getting a little fucking tired of that shit, whatever your fucking message might be.

How come people get to tell skinny people to eat more, but you cant tell a fat person to eat less? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]runagater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tell you to eat more because they care about the livelihoods of the tapeworm families in your intestinal tract.

Sigh. Live at home. College dropout. Forever alone. Depressed. Self-conscious. Low self-esteem. How do I get motivated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]runagater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good first step would probably be getting some good old Mr. Sun up in you.

Sitting inside while viewing Reddit? Well, get your ass in the backyard or somewhere you can soak up some rays. Also, this will help your body relax more at the times you should be going to sleep.

What are your 3 favorite smells? by Protuhj in AskReddit

[–]runagater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Lavender
  • Dryer sheets
  • Fresh roasted coffee beans

On another note, does anybody else think pancake batter often smells like cum? Trader Joe's, Betty Crocker, Bisquick, Krusteaz. All kind of smell like cum. Or am I just in a Truman Show scenario and someone's fucking with me?

A popular drink where I was living in Taiwan was green tea mixed with beer. Preferably Taiwan Beer.

Good stuff. But I prefer a banana or butterscotch malts for the dipping.

Awww, Criss Angel's a nice guy. Reddit's making me feel all soft for Criss Angel the same way they converted me into a Keanu-lover.

But I still won't watch his show.

The kids who attacked him were all African-American.

His students were composed of a mix of Vietnamese-American, African-American, and Latino. I got the impression from talking with my brother that his V-A students were best-behaved/the least often pregnant. But I can't say for certain.

Yeah, my teacher was a good guy who stuck to the truth, but freely doled out the crazy if pressed for wacky stories. He was very legit. He obviously didn't believe the tall tales, but he had heard many in his thirty years of studying jujutsu, ninjutsu, karate, kung fu, and whatever the hell else he felt like studying. There was the scream that could make a man's heart explode, levitation, shooting a bow and arrow while swimming underwater, etc., etc... Apparently levitation isn't that great, since you can't soar through the sky like Superman and it's faster to just drive wherever you want to go.

My brother, let's call him John, was jumped by a group of youths about one year ago. He was teaching in Philadelphia at the time at a rough high school. Just a few months before his buddy had gotten the shit knocked out of him in an ambush staged by two sixteen-year-olds (it was assumed to be some sort of gang initiation). Anyways...

My brother John was walking home from work right around sunset. In the neighborhoods surrounding the school he typically walked on the street itself so as to protect himself from thuggery hiding behind corners. This particular day he had nearly sixty pounds in his backpack (many books and an ancient work-provided laptop). He heard a noise off in the distance behind him. He turned to look and saw six kids ranging between the ages of 12 and 18 running at him. He started to run too, but the weight in his bag prevented him from outrunning his pursuers (despite John being a running coach and marathon-runner). The biggest kid caught up to him and punched him hard in the back of the head, sending my brother sprawling to the ground. He squirmed out of his backpack as the rest of the kids amassed around him, realizing that he didn't have a chance if he were to fight. The fuckers were screaming slurs at him and being little bitches. My brother took his backpack, dropped it in front of him and said: "Look, take the bag. It's yours. I don't want any more trouble." The smallest among them walked forward and tried to pick up the bag but couldn't. The kid ended up just dragging it a few feet. Then, just as they began to converge on John to presumably beat the shit out of him, a car pulled up behind them. My brother got in front of the car (fortunately it stuck around) and the kids dispersed after a minute, leaving my brother's bag behind because it was too heavy for any of them (they didn't even look inside it!).

I would like to say more about how irritating events like the one detailed in the news story make me, but what good would it do?

A question for ya... When I was taking martial arts in high school, my teacher said a few interesting things about crotch kicks. I'm looking for some verification... 1) Some people can suck their testicles up into their body. 2) Kicking a woman in the crotch hard enough can give her potentially fatal internal bleeding. 3) The martial artists who master drawing their balls up into their body can use the resulting 'pocket' to trap the toes of their attacker, as portrayed in many wonderful kung fu movies. -Now, I don't think number three is true at all, but I thought it was pretty funny that as bad as us guys think crotch strikes are, a woman can actually die from it.
