Yeah that particular cocktail is not something I'd want on me or in the air near me. So Doom scrambling away just like everyone else was not really the tell most people act like it was.

If he'd been played as more panicked than the rest I'd consider it a tell, but he was reacting the way any and everyone else in the movie was Toon or not. That mix was some nasty shit.

I'd never not have UBO on any device I'm using.

This dynamic has been at the heart of philosophical debates since forever.

"Is a bleak unremittingly harsh truth better than a comforting lie when you have no ability to change anything?"

Is Cypher's desire for peace and comfort wrong? Or just how he goes about trying to get it? Is being willingly enslaved as he'd be in the Matrix terrible if he chose it?

In the movie I absolutely took it this way that he's delighted with where he is and doesn't want to leave so like he said "i've made peace with it" he doesn't really mean "I'll think about it."

He means no but he's being coy. The book leaves it a bit more open to interpretation IMO given the extra issues like aging and medical issues.

Similarly I had an aunt that developed a liver cancer they said she had 3-4 months well a month later I went call her and my cousin picked up saying she'd passed over night.

She was a wonderful sweet woman that didn't deserve the things life did to her, and she made it to a pretty good age, but she passed so suddenly. It was shocking because I never got to say a real good bye to her. We all thought she and we had more time.

It's been almost a decade now and it's all good, but it's just a reminder that life is fleeting.

And this is why he fails. He's a shallow self obsessed jackass.

His dc movies were ass that missed the point of the characters his great idea of a vegas heist movie missed so many interesting ideas. And his star wars movie rip offs were B or C tier copies of a high quality kids B movie. I say this as someone that loves Star wars OG movies. They are fun but they are simple and a lot of the plot and character choices were obviously stitched together.

It was the extreme talents of many involved that made it work. Snyder had almost non of that minus his talent for visuals. But his stories are empty husks with gilded visual fluff.

old.reddit.com on PC and if you're on a phone well I guess you can use a browser and stomach it. I've been doing it so long I don't notice anymore, but I've also been here a while.

Fuck I need to do a replay of this game again.

If they'd had a league he'd probably have been competitively ranked.

Because this is how Reddit used to be, people that loved and were passionate about the subject would come along and discuss the thing.

Now it's mostly bots just screaming past each other to play to the crowd.

"On my planet I am considered hideous." Says a very classically conventionally attractive, by human standards, alien man.

Yeah either a variant of the rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer.

I've never seen the particular one he's using but for laying tile and stone in the past we had a one sided dead blow hammer that was filled with sand to prevent bounce back.

Either way dude is confident because he knows his work very well.

You're thinking of Poly-cystic. Pryoclastic is when you worship more than one god. Such as the Greek or Norse Pantheon.

I'd argue lower. We should have Ethics and Philosophy classes as soon as middle school for at least a quarter if not a semester each year.

Learn how to spot fallacious arguments, learn about things like the idea of the social contract, Take a year on broad scale Western, Eastern philosphies and how they stress different responsibilities.

There's enough for at least 1 quarter each year for several years.

And anyone abusing the system from when it was created to scrapped prosecuted not just slapped on the wrists.

There is historical precedent for the fascists to eat their own once they feel they are secure.

But yes Melania and Elon will be very low on the list. People like Thiel who are immigrants and gay would be higher on the list with people that are useful but poor and of the wrong color being near the very top.

They might deign to keep a few token people like Musk around if he kisses Vance's and Thiel's asses enough once Trump kicks it.

Well if she took the house and the weapons they'd have to cannonize the divorce and I'm guessing they don't have the courage to do that.

He was a convenient tool of the billionaire class. If he hadn't had an astrotruf support movement thrown behind him to elevate his presence he'd still be a failed college drop out loser.

But he kissed the right asses and was willing to sell out America for a buck so the people that want to buy it propped him up.

Sometimes we choose the lesser bad for the greater good.

If you couldn't do the IF without your unhealthy coffee then that coffee is the much better choice.

We all act like weightloss and retention is a moral failing and all this other stuff when often times the biology behind hunger is complex and difficult even if the calories in calories out mantra is simple.

Ah well then I shall edit my comment. I was unaware of his stances, I just caught some stuff by proxy like his support of Restore which is from what I can tell just three mini nazi ideologies in a trench coat pretending to not be one.

But if he's directly said bigoted shit like that then yea he can fuck all the way off.

Edit- It has been pointed out to me that he has directly supported JK Rowling in her hatred of Trans folks. (The most I ever saw was the paraphrased "I don't want to have to figure it out but I hope they are ok." Which for a nearly 90 yar old is pretty mellow.)I don't know if he's said anything directly negative about Trans folks, but he's a supporter of Restore Britain which is about as hard right as you get and their stance on trans folks is pretty unquestionable atrocious.

So at least by proxy he's become an old asshole, and if not outright a support of anti LGBTQ stuff one by proxy.

Which to say the least is a real let down.

HR has never been there to help you. HR is there to help to company any time they help you is an accidental fringe benefit.

They are not now nor never were on your side. They are there to minimize the damage to the company that can happen when two resources come into conflict you and the person you're in conflict with are resources to the company. You are numbers and the company will weigh up if getting rid of you is cheaper than getting rid of the root of the problem.

Really? Because even the comic and show writers have used this as a take. Batman Beyond had an episode where someone was trying to drive Bruce Wayne nuts by calling him Bruce and talking to him.

Paraphrase: He says to Terry, "I don't think of myself as Bruce." Terry laughs about it says of course you don't, "But that's my name now."

So do the writers not understand their own creation?

Frodo carried the weight of that ring, and Sam carried him up to the finish line. Neither could have done what they did alone.

Sometimes the right insight is worth everything. Sam understood the wisdom of this when he carried Frodo.
