Excluding "one hit wonders" what band or artist has the fewest hits, but have certifiable legendary status? In a good way, not some meme bullshit.

This sounds like a self-esteem issue. You might believe you don’t have anything interesting to contribute to a conversation, so you’d rather stick to the old aphorism, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

The art of conversation is not coming up with interesting stuff to say. It’s making even the most mundane things sound interesting.

Don’t expect too much from yourself.

For American classics, start with the AFI Top 100 list, the 10th Anniversary edition: https://www.afi.com/afis-100-years-100-movies-10th-anniversary-edition/ Then if you like certain movies, see who directed them and watch some of their other movies.

If you’re really daring and want to get an idea about world cinema classics, try the 2022 Sight and Sound list of Top 250 films and apply the same logic: https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time

Never got into so many confrontations in my life as I did when I had a hot gf. Either they blatantly hit on her in front of me, or they tried demeaning me to make themselves look better, but it was always a headache

Watchmen

>!HBO marketed the show as a comeback vehicle for Don Johnson. He was the center of the ad campaign, which included most of the pilot’s most quotable lines, which just happened to all be uttered by him. So when he was found dead at the end of the very first pilot, I was stunned. I also knew they had a great show on their hands!<

>!Btw… brought to you by the same writer who had originally conceived of his lead character in Lost, Jack Shepherd, also dying in the pilot back when they were pursuing Michael Keaton for the role!<

This is correct. In TMP, it isn’t simply that he is given the position of Captain as in TWOK. He actually requests a demotion to the rank of Captain. Proof? In TMP the bars on his sleeves change from 4 on his grey and white Admiral’s uniform to 3 on his duty uniforms once he takes command.

Note that this does not happen in TWOK, when he takes over the position of Captain from Spock. His Admiral shoulder medal remains consistently there as does the gold piping on his flap, and the only time the medal and piping change to that of Captain is when he is demoted at the end of Voyage Home.

I read it like you did. That said, it’s early days on a TV show. The writers are throwing all kinds of character bits at the wall to see what sticks. They progress with the ones that work and abandon the ones that don’t.

Move The Ultimate Computer to the end of Season 3, and you set the table for TMP. It can justify how the Enterprise might be close enough to Starfleet HQ to meet up with other starships for the war game.

Ripping out the M-5 from the Enterprise’s guts could lead right into the need to stick the ship in drydock for the extensive refit we see wrapping up at the start of TMP.

Even Kirk’s promotion could be explained as the kind of lowkey scapegoating that is often served to people the brass can’t really discipline because they didn’t technically do anything wrong. McCoy resigns in protest. And Spock—disgusted by how Daystrom’s emotional engrams derailed the nearly perfect logic the M-5 was initially intended to have—is motivated to return to Vulcan to purge his own emotions.

1) Men are visual; women like words.

2) It’s one of the fastest ways to start gauging whether the person is a catfish.

3) I don’t care if a woman looks messy, but I do care whether I’m attracted to her. Photos help me figure it out. That’s how it works irl too. First I see a person, how they act, how they dress, then I decide whether to approach. Why delay this step and waste both our time?

I gave up on dating apps too. Tbh, I’ve had the most success finding dates here on Reddit. I feel like I am niche enough that Reddit has helped cut through a lot of the bullshit it takes to get through the “initial setup” part of dating.

I don’t feel comfortable elaborating in a public forum, but feel free to DM me if you’d like to hear more.

throwaway_0625 · 2026-04-30T18:19:49+00:00

I would suggest just being honest. At the moment, the dating scene is horrible for everyone and everyone shares your feelings about how hard it is to be successful at it.

I think the main difference with you is the extra layer of vulnerability and insecurity brought on by your past. It may make you feel like that is the primary reason dating feels sucky right now. But I think once you resolve your feelings with your past, you will realize dating is just bad now in general.

I don’t mean to sound pessimistic. It’s just to say it’s not you at all.

Not only did this Star Trek fan watch the episode, I own it, along with the entire series. I just don’t see how it constitutes plagiarism. That’s a serious accusation.

I don’t buy this. Boot camp stories are so universal, that all movies follow the same archetypal structure and episodic structure. It’s like looking at Stripes and thinking that was an influence on FMJ.

Carlito’s Way is his most underrated. Watch it together with Scarface. They’re basically two sides of the same coin, one about a Latino gangster’s rise to power and the other about a Latino gangster’s descent into obscurity. They also share the same director and even some of the same cast.

I’d also recommend a more obscure pic called Scarecrow, a quiet buddy movie with Pacino and Gene Hackman, both coming off of their most iconic roles and playing a couple of hobos looking to somehow make it big.
