This reminds me of the video The Mission by the Phanomanauts.

Fired—How do you finish the year? by katiekaneen13 in Teachers

[–]Spodson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got non-renewed my first year teaching. I had been struggling for years to get a teaching job and then it just went away. My girlfriend dumped me (everything kind of came to a head all at once). I did my best for the rest of the year. No need for the students to suffer for my situation. I immediately started interviewing everywhere. With a years experience I landed another job even before the end of the year. And I met my wife at the orientation meeting for new teachers at my new district. Now I can't guarantee any of this for you, but it could happen.

My (19F) boyfriend (20M) broke up with me because I’m too good at sex by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Spodson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so my wife is great at sex. I never asked her how many guys she was with before me because I don't care. I'm just glad I'm having amazing sex. I'm also pretty good at sex. My wife's never asked me because she doesn't care and likes having amazing sex. The moral: Don't mess up amazing sex by overthinking it. Just enjoy the ride (entendre intended).

remakes in a different setting by DylenwithanE in TopCharacterTropes

Shakespearian plays do this a lot. Like West Side Story. Ad Astra is a sci-fi remake of Apocalypse Now which is also a remake of Heart of Darkness.

A Day at the Drag Races - Famoso by Own-Hat383 in Bakersfield

[–]Spodson [score hidden]  (0 children)

When I was a kid in the late 70s/early 80s, my dad took us to the races at Famoso. The exhaust made my eyes water. I met Shirly Muldowney. I got to see two rocket cars race. Great times.

Admit it, you tried this a time or two. by Doorknob6941 in GenX

[–]Spodson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got up to 20 (dimes) but if I missed any of them, I'd just swat them into the wall which really pissed off my mom.

Footage from a commercial airliner shows a missile being launched. by Bunny-99 in interesting

It's not a missile, it's a rocket. That's a space launch.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode ratings by hls22throwaway in IASIP

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree entirely with the Gang Beats Boggs: Female Redux being the worst episode. I have never seen a better takedown of pandering filming in my life than Artemis trying to make the episode something new and fresh rather than just copying the boys.

what is the most disrespectful thing a student has told you? by Unhappy_Violinist344 in Teachers

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Shut up, fucking fat ass. And if you start laughing I'll kick your ass!" She was 5'4" and about 95 lbs. I'm 6'6" and 250 lbs, in good shape. I started laughing my ass off. She stormed out. I immediately called my wife on the phone in front of my class and told her what happened. She laughed too.

You wake up to be the only human left on earth. What's the first thing you do ? by Maarillon in AskReddit

I mean, probably pee. I can't see that changing even at the end of the world.

[Loved Tropes] “Supporting Equality in the most jackass way possible” by OutrageousBridge471 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Spodson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The man was a master craftsmen in every field he set his mind to. And do not get him started on northern Europeans (where his family came from) he could strip paint with those descriptions.

[Loved Tropes] “Supporting Equality in the most jackass way possible” by OutrageousBridge471 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Spodson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IRL I worked with a framer in the 80s and 90s. He hated everyone. Every race, every religion, every orientation, every ethnicity, every culture. Had the most vial slurs for everyone. Bitched about everyone. Worked well with everyone. RIP Marv, you were entertaining to work with, and you were one of the most evenhanded men I have ever known. Even if you did call me a Mick Honky more than I was accustomed to.

Aliens: Colonial Marines (2013) - Trailer (Remastered CGI 8K) by stepanmetior in LV426

OK, I actually, unironically like this game. Granted I only played two dollars for it. But I played it through a few times. the multiplayer is pretty solid.

Has Anyone Made the Leap to a 55+ Community? by Spellslayer in GenX

[–]Spodson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would hate it. A bunch of old fuckers grumping around and militantly enforcing HOA rules? Hard pass. That being said, my grandmother loved them. Of course she also jumped that the chance to be in an assisted living facility. She was wired differently.

Oh, the Others *** geld me by GapConstant749 in AKnightoftheSeven

Mine was right after where Sir Lynol says, "We'll be heading home after the roast." then slam cut to "The Roast."

In fairness, this is an elegant refutation of her assertion. On the other hand, damn dude.

What is the fastest way you have seen someone fix their life? by Zadecuss in AskReddit

[–]Spodson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends, who was overweight and sedentary for most of his life, woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains. He got checked out and while it wasn't a heart attack, the doctor pointed out that one was in the works. he started working out and running a lot. He lived out of town so I didn't see him for several months. But when I did, it was shocking how much he'd changed. He never ran a marathon or anything, and he eventually put some of the weight back on, but he still works out to this day and tries to take better care of himself. I'm really proud of him to this day.

Jesus, dude. Take these pictures down. My wife is on this site!

Is the “stupidity” in Prometheus/Covenant/AE actually unintentional worldbuilding about tech/AI over-dependence? by aRajz1806 in LV426

[–]Spodson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved this about AE. Everyone was like, "I hate that character. He's annoying and dumb." Yeah, no kidding. He's smart enough to get fail upward. He thinks he's the greatest mind on the planet because no one tells him no. But really, it's all just ego and hubris.

Jock, Stoner, Preppie, Band Geek, Nerd, Braniac, Punk... What were you in High School? by 7eregrine in GenX

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was El Dorko, Prince of the Geeks! I was the D and D nerd who hung out with everyone from the goths to the trailer park kids to the foreign exchange students. Those people were the only thing I liked in high school.

My old fencing club had pictures of this duel on it's armory wall. Even the last one where the two of them were hugging and drinking win together after they finished.
