iheartneopets,

I bounced right off of Scared to Death; I guess I’m not a fan of their dynamic as hosts? Or maybe I just prefer the narrative style of podcast instead of the ‘two zany hosts’ format, idk.

Here are some other spooky ones, as well! :

Camp Monsters Podcast

Incredible audio-storytelling podcast for fans of getting into nature, sitting around the campfire and telling scary stories. The audio design is topnotch, and the host does a wonderful job. I’m usually not a fan of overly-produced sounding podcasts, but this one strikes a really good balance of audio-drama type soundscapes and one host telling you a story. The Dark Watcher episode really got me good and spooked while listening to it in bed.

Ghost Story

This is for fans of true crime and ghosts. Some crazy real-life coincidences occur to bring together a man with a ghost in his teenage bedroom and the woman he marries. Turns out, her murdered great grandmother may be the ghost he was visited by. He then uses his skillset as an investigative journalist to look into her and her brother’s murder from the post WWI era. While predominantly a true crime podcast, the descriptions of the haunting were quite vivid and scared me while I was home alone at night.

iheartneopets,

I believe it. It very much reflects the modes of thought at the time.

iheartneopets,

This right here. Rape is not about arousal, it’s about power. I highly recommend Roy Hazelwood’s books on the matter if anyone, like me, has a morbid curiosity about why people commit certain violent crimes.

iheartneopets,

Japanese comfort food frequently calls for either ketchup or Japanese mayo in/on rice. Omurice being a prime example.

iheartneopets,

Ok

iheartneopets,

Doesn’t really explain why I was receiving cat litter ads after only speaking with my husband offhand about maybe getting a cat. We didn’t already have a cat, so hadn’t had any reason to look up any cat care goods ever, and I had never searched for anything even remotely cat-related up to that point. But wouldn’t you know it, about 45 minutes later, I was getting kitty litter ads. Very spooky.

iheartneopets,

Lmao, I wish but no, no hallmark movie plots here. This was a few years ago, and we now have said cat :) He definitely forgot immediately after I mentioned it until I showed up with a cat one day lol

iheartneopets,

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

iheartneopets,

Lmao, no it isn’t. At best, it’s made for people who are lightly into space/science and also lightly into cinema, so please don’t trot out the “you need a high IQ to enjoy this movie” stuff. If it were made for space nerds, two scientists selected for deep space flight wouldn’t need to stop and explain what E=MC² is to one another.

That’s kind of always been Nolan’s schtick, though, and I guess it’s working out for him because he’s got the a huge, quite passionate fan base. I’ll never understand the hype and find his movies quite mid as cinema, but eh.

iheartneopets,

Really? I found it to be extremely mid. It took at least an hour for the film to not feel like a trailer montage and find proper pacing. The writing didn’t feel organic at all, and felt like actors reading historical quotes from a page at each other. Also, when Florence Pugh’s character started riding Oppenheimer’s dick while he said his famous Bhagavad Gita line, I burst out laughing in the theater and had a really hard time taking the rest of the movie seriously.

I think this movie will be forgotten in 3 years, if not sooner.

iheartneopets,

That’s not quite right. They hired a theoretical physicist to provide them equations for simulating a black hole. Then, the SFX studio used their Nolan Movie Money to generate it extremely accurately to the extent that it helped spawn further research. It’s not that the studio happened to get it right from research. They were given all the pieces they needed and were able to do something these physicists had a hard time doing likely because they never had that kind of money/equipment: make an exceptional, high-fidelity, cinematic simulation.

iheartneopets,

Oppenheimer at number 2?? In what world? It was decent, but does not deserve to be listed over so many others. Sometimes the Nolan hype train confounds me.

iheartneopets,

Just a heads up, books are a very personal gift to give. I’ve never had it work out. Not saying you don’t know your family, but it’s hard to guess exactly what types of books they like. Especially if the only goal is encouraging her to read, that book will prob end up not being touched or given away.

I’ve had family I know really well gift me many books over the years, since I was a kid who liked to read, and it was always something I would never be interested in.

Now a Barnes and Noble/Books a Million gift card? Those are always awesome! Even though I know it feels lame to give gift cards. That could encourage her to get into a bookstore to shop for exactly something that catches her interest, and maybe shows her a whole series or author she can come back for, even!

Anyways, I hope you and your family have a happy and smooth holiday!

iheartneopets,

Omg I would love a gift like that! What is this mythical brand of socks?

iheartneopets,

Awesome, thank you for the recommendations and the heads up! I’ll definitely have to try some. Lately all my socks have been springing holes, so I’m excited to try some more durable ones

iheartneopets,

Trust me, there are plenty of songs as bad or worse. I get the same reaction to several Daft Punk songs. Mariah Carey isn’t especially bad, no matter what the internet says. There are some especially brain dead christmas remixes stores play during the holidays that make my skin crawl.

iheartneopets,

To be honest, I think contrapoints has a really solid take on it. That yes trans women are women, but women’s issues and trans women’s issues should be considered separate things. Both groups face some issues that the other can’t really relate to, and conflating them so much doesn’t help anyone.

iheartneopets,

Honestly I think some of the older dubs are the best (your cowboy bebops, your Gurren laganns, and even silly shows like Ouran High School Host Club had great casts), back when the industry still had passionate and skilled actors. Now it’s well known that anime voice acting pays for shit and all the talent has left for greener pastures—and I don’t blame them.

Now it feels to me like most dubs get stuck with VAs just at the start of their careers and it really shows… Most dubs make me cringe nowadays with the acting.

Plus, I feel like you get a more accurate translation with subs because they’re not trying to fit tweaked dialog into previously-animated mouth movements.

I used to really advocate for dubs and preferred them, but my stance has flipped quite a bit in recent years. Kinda sad to see them decline so much :(

iheartneopets,

This is the most useless-lesbian shit I’ve ever seen lmao

iheartneopets,

Yeah, but that goes for like, grocery stores. If you’re coming in to Marshall’s for some discount throw pillows or Christmas knick knacks when it’s snowing and icing balls outside, yeah I’m gonna think something is wrong with you and lowkey be annoyed you’re even here.

Honsetly after experiencing the covid era, I think it’s the same people who were throwing a fit and refusing to stay in their houses for even one day.

iheartneopets,

This exactly. Plus, people around those areas generally have no idea how to drive in that weather so it gets substantially more dangerous just to be out and about. Even if you know what you’re doing to at least stay safe, you can’t assume Joe Shmoe flying onto the highway in his jacked up dodge ram has any clue.

iheartneopets, (edited )

Damn, you’re so far up the ass of your own misogyny that you can’t even read critically. Life must be really hard for you.

EDIT: would this commenter saying “All [insert race here] look the same?” be acceptable to all of you? I sincerely doubt it. Why is them ‘joking’ the same about women okay for you all?
