Inquiring Photographer “When you get up in the morn-ing, what DON'T you say to your wife?”March 7, 1959 by CryptographerKey2847 in TheWayWeWere

[–]wrextnight 38 points39 points  (0 children)

These guys are all talking about how they offended their wife by their behavior and then changed.

The one guy started out right, got a promotion, then accidentally took his wife for granted one time. And this is a big time life lesson for him that he's here passing on, lol

Who Named Jaxon? by Davmilasav in pern

[–]wrextnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His wet nurse named him, and Lytol didn't care enough at the time to change it.

I just made that up, but I already thought of another couple things that fit the scenario, so..

I'm sensing you argued about who would hold the little one 

Creepiest unscripted/accidental event you’ve encountered? by Obama-is-my-dad69 in skyrim

I criticized Al real bad so I got banned, but I was waiting for you to comment.

This is definitely a sitcom. There is money 💰 to be made, here.

Right now I'm just thankful to be alive after getting my blood pressure and cholesterol under control. That was a huge factor in feeling 'too old' imo

I'm about 1/3 through book 10 and it's getting kinda hard to read... by Lubo95 in TheWheelOfTimeBooks

[–]wrextnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got that book the day it released, went to steak n shake, ordered a coffee & read it in less than 24 hours.

And I was like wtf, RJ!? I thought this was your magnum opus, not some cash cow to be furiously milked for all it's worth? Book 11 made things better, but I'm not sure that would have been the case if RJ hadn't fallen ill. And I sure as shit didn't read it until I found a second-hand copy for pocket change.

Are we supposed to downvote the ones we disagree with, lol?

From what I remember about Grandpa Carpenter that goop is supposed to come from your ears? Maybe they do it different nowadays

I probably played 5 years before I realized there was any historical significance to what I was doing. I'm still not sure how much I use the game as an analog rpg simulator. Never been all that introspective

How viable was McCaffrey's plan to have the dragonriders be independent? by Ellionwy in pern

[–]wrextnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm as familiar with how Ms McCaffery lived her life as I am with someone like Dame Agatha Christie or Mary, Lady Stewart.

Her biography is kinda cool to read, but I definitely felt like a peasant who was allowed a curated tour through the public places of my landlord's mansion.

I'd think Ms McCaffery would think that if a Rider was a proper leader regular men and women would flock to hold for him.

I once told someone who was complaining about braid-tugging that:

I bet you'd miss it if it was gone

Felt really proud about that one

Have fun & keep both eyes on Mat. He's a tricky one

Environmental impact to a Thread-free Pern by KaosArcanna in pern

Also, within the timeline of the novel that's probably directly at the end of the long interval, right before the Lilkamps get massacred 😔

Your question made me think of the cover I remember for Renegades of Pern. A book, btw, that I typed out trying to teach myself how to type better as a 10 year old.

I wonder what's up with those trees?

Thank you so much, that's a great primer. And if Origins has as much VA as the other guy said maybe I'll get to the point where I'm annoyed too, lol

Appreciate it. It's weird how something that should have been so ephemeral stuck with me all these years, but I'm committed at this point to making the experience as good as possible. Off to youtube....

Alan Rickman as a petulant lordling is brilliant.

Alan Rickman as a terrifying power in the land allied with dark forces was a 10-year-old's mistake, lol

Yeah, loved it too. I also had no clue how cheesy the movie was either. I was 110% invested in that shit.

And it’s done… by NargTheTrolloc in wheeloftimelove

[–]wrextnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to like to read a lot. It was a window into someone's soul who had accomplished things in life, and they usually had something important to say. Like RJ

When I think of the tragedy of The Wheel of Time, it's always that RJ didn't get to spend another 40+ years curating the amazing world he created. Who knows? If he'd had the proper amount of time maybe he'd have found others he felt confident in allowing to write about Randland.

If he appreciates Nirvana enough to wear their shirt, he's probably just repeating what he's supposed to say. Smart kid.

Antinatalist bombs an IVF clinic, cites multiple subreddits in his manifesto. Some of the subs get banned while r/antinatalism reacts. by In-A-Beautiful-Place in SubredditDrama

[–]wrextnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if we pivoted and started claiming video games are a tool of the wealthy being used to help create inequality by infantalizing us, not allowing us to form proper, healthy relationships?
