Like, whenever someone asks a question about relationships, there is an endless stream of "break up with them!", "huge red flag!", or my favorite "if X ever expressed Y or Z, I'd laugh in their face and the relationship and it'd be over!". And then there is the inverse "why is it so hard to date" posts. You have to wade through like 500 posts to find one with no upvotes where someone sounds like a human being. According to Reddit, it seems like a poster's opinion is fact, only they get to have emotions, and only they decide what happens around themselves. Everyone else just needs to deal with it! Also, why can't I ever express my feelings?!!!

I feel certain most of these people must be a mix of assholes and dissatisfied people who wish they had more control over their lives and other people, who in turn feel reassured when they see other posting the same types of things.

The combat and the "where the hell do I go" factor both made me quit fairly early on. I liked what the game was trying to do, though.

Happy Easter!

Easter presents consist of jellybeans or chocolate.

I've always been a fan of Cloud x Yuffie. Tifa has baggage and Aerith is still in love with her dead boyfriend whose memories you have for complex plot reasons.

Just don't watch these videos of horrible things happening in real time or the government is going to collect that data for cross-referencing and extra judicial review.

The video in question was perfectly legal, the police just had reason to believe that a suspect had viewed the video so they wanted information on everyone who watched it to try and find this person. They could do this for any video or content at any time. That shouldn't be possible.

Are you still part vampire and part coyote?

I mean... No shit.
:v

You mean before opening this topic you thought that a federal judge would allow the government to compel Google to hand over the personal information of every person who watched a legal Youtube video?

This is one of my only real complaints about the show. The antagonists didn't make much sense at all. The Kris seemed believable, but what was Barry doing on the team? He was a total liability and had no special skills. Also, he was supposed to be a "kid", but was written more like an adult with a learning disability and some behavioral issues. That dude that got strangled by the big vine was too honest and level-headed to be part of Kris' team.

Their actions were just plain odd. The larger group the thieves came from were moral enough to have a Barry in it, but not moral enough to pass on a distress signal. OK. But what exactly did Kris think she was going to do with three people? They lucked out and found a single survivor, but you'd never overpower a large group with just three people, especially when only one of them is willing to kill, and they didn't know how many were down there. Also, how the hell would you plan on moving all the cargo off the planet with just three people?

If so, what did you think of it?

Does this work for adult viewers, or is it aimed at kids, with adults watching it for nostalgia only? Like, live action Harry Potter vs. live action Percy Jackson.

Let me guess, it will be of great benefit to the same people who will turn around and blast the passage of it

I mean...I vote Democrat consistently and hate conservative policies, and I absolutely don't love these giant must-pass spending bills with who-knows-what tacked onto them because the people we elect to the legislative branch of the federal government can't seem to do their actual jobs. We never really know what's in them until they've passed, which means you can't apply pressure as a voter by contacting your representatives. In the rare instances where you can call or email or write in time, they often throw up their hands and say they can't do anything because these bills need to pass for the government to function.

I mean, it's good the government hasn't shut down, and it's great if they do put some good stuff in their, but these bills as a whole suck balls and shouldn't need to exist. They're undemocratic and a sign of a failing government.

Ghost Stories

Have you had the CE talk yet?

Complaint: Jihad censored.
Answer: Holy War means the same thing and is a less controversial term to use. It's fine.

Complaint: Jessica drinks the water.
Answer: I don't remember how this differed from the book, but keeping it vague and mystical and creepy worked fine from a narrative perspective. I've seen loads of people confused by this part of the book.

Complaint: Alia rewrite.
Answer: There is no way to make a superhuman, wise toddler work in a film and you know it.

Complaint: Baron rewrite.
Answer: His brutality, cunning, and ambition are shown off in both movies. That's all we have time for.

Complaint: Emperor rewrite.
Answer: I've read the book, and Emperor never made an impression on me. For his character to matter more, you'd have needed more backstory and politics and the movie was already about 3 hours long.

Complaint: No navigators (!).
Answer: Using the navigators as part of the movie's plot would have needed more political background, and an explanation about mentats and why there are no thinking machines in the world of Dune. That would have been gripping stuff, but it would have taken away from Paul's core story, and when would the movie have had time for it?

Complaint: Spice rewrite.
Answer: It has been a while, but I think that, within the confines of the characters, plot points, and factions they decided to use, spice was handled completely. Spice addiction would have been a nice addition to the movie, but really, all we needed to know about it for the purposes of the movie is that it was the most valuable thing everyone wants.

Could go on.

I'll go on for you. I was looking forward to seeing Hawat again because he is my favorite in the books, but really, there wasn't a place for him. Really, I wanted all the stuff they left out, but they made the movie as long as you can make one and managed to tell a coherent narrative with exciting visuals and passable acting while not shitting all over one of the best novels ever written. They did good.

the sky is OFFICIALLY falling

If you bothered to click the link and read the text of the article, you'd see that they requested the data of anyone who had viewed a legal Youtube video because they suspected a suspect in a criminal investigation had viewed the video. That's not a minor thing, and experts don't think it's constitutional either.

No, really.

Sorry for the Reddit link, but the article has a paywall I haven't been able to bypass, and I haven't yet seen coverage elsewhere with no paywall.

Yep.

This is kind of an odd question, because who the hell is going to know when a meme was invented? I remember all the old ones, but I couldn't tell you which came first.

Earth!

I always hear people talking about going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, like it's easy to do, and I can't help wondering if those people either don't experience too much stress or somehow manage it better. Upcoming medical procedure? 0 - 3 hours? Family stuff going on? Like maybe 5 hours.

Is it just me?

There are so many better sites than the hub anyways.

They'll target them all eventually. It is naive to think otherwise.

So, people are saying this is the Republicans, but in some states it's the Democrats too. Don't ask me why.

I haven't seen a solid source yet, but the rumor is that some states are considering making using a VPN to bypass this a felony.

What is it you do for a living that you have to testify regularly? Are you a government informant? Are the boobs just to lull us into a false sense of security?

I'm surprised how many people here are in favor of this.

Don't do this in excel. Write a Python script to create and populate the workbook for you. It's the only sane way.

Well, that sucks. Stay safe man.

That looks like a moderately good ZBrush sculpt, not anything scientific at all.

I post weekly topics about it on the Anime board. Good stuff, but something is just sort of missing.
