| Topic | NASA investigating 10,000 year old cave painting depicting UFOs and aliens |
| DevsBro 02/14/18 11:44:15 AM #44 | Maybe they're organic robots. They were robots at one time and then through observation of wildlife they came to understand the advantages of organic matter and began to use cloning to develop new body parts that could be controlled electrically. Over time, they slowly began to change their power source to an internal chemical system fueled by other organic matter and even began to offload computing power to organic components until they were eventually indistinguishable from organic lifeforms. And maybe we were one of their prototyoes. --- |

| DevsBro 02/14/18 11:18:31 AM #61 | Makes sense. People blamed congress for everything when Obama was in office. But for me, I'm not interested just because I'm disillusioned. Cast one vote of three hundred million that will be tossed out completely in favor of the vote of less than a thousand people? When I was in sixth grade and some teacher tried to explain to me why Al Gore lost despite more people voting for him, I decided any productive adult had better things to do with their time. --- |

| Topic | How woukd you fix TLJ? *spoilers* |
| DevsBro 02/14/18 9:18:42 AM #1 | I thought there was a lot of cool stuff in there but way too much filler, so here's what I would do: 1. Include a shot in the bomber scene where you're looking down out of the bomb hatch toward the dreadnaut and the nearby planet is in view, to explain that the bombs fall because they're moving toward the planet (maybe I'm the only one but this bothered the hell out of me). 2. Kill Leia in space. 3. Rewrite the Rose/Finn thing. I kinda liked Rose's "innocent to a fault" personality, but the writing around her needs improvement. Exclude the "hey our friends are dying let's look through binoculars at the monster races and talk about how mean rich people are" scene. Come up with a better start than "I'm gonna tase you for trying to run away, then immediately we both come up with the idea to run away." Just have Finn get shot down and Rose goes to help him. She can still say her line. Maybe he's like "noooo forget me stop the cannon" and then she says it. The line was fine, it was just in a terrible context. 4. I actually kinda liked Admiral Pink but get rid of all the dumb mutiny crap. Just have her say "everyone evacuate" and then not get onboard, while everyone is like "nooooooo." 5. Have Luke hand the lightsaber back instead of tossing it over his shoulder. I get what they were trying to accomplish--the audience is disappointed with his reaction just like Rey is--but it was a bad way to accomplish it. 6. Maybe make Snoke just not have force mindreading powers instead of having the force mindreading powers that are... wrong for some reason. Alternatively, maybe in 9 he turns out to have known exactly what Kylo was doing but he was an illusion or he secretly pulled an Obi-wan "strike me down and blah blah" move or something. 7. We're left with a pretty short movie after cutting all the filler so probably combine it with 9 and just make the ST a two-parter (which isn't a trilogy anymore). --- |
| Topic | Tips for women about their husbands, from a 1950 home ec textbook |
| DevsBro 02/14/18 8:57:13 AM #22 | The Admiral posted... The problem wasn't that women gained the ability to work -- that was good -- it's that the changes this had on the economy pushed upon women the obligation to work. So, in 2018, even if a middle-class couple would be happy with that 1950s system, it's not an option. And for women who do work, they now have to deal with both the stresses of family life (which they did in the 50s) and the added stresses of work/career life. I never did figure out what economic changes brought the obligtion to work upon women but yeah, we don't really have the option anymore. --- |
| Topic | Old McDonald went to town a-riding on a pony |
| DevsBro 02/14/18 8:36:15 AM #6 | nevershine posted... Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring Around the Rosie" or "Ring a Ring o' Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925. Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, specifically the Great Plague of London, or the Black Death, but folklorists reject this idea.[2] "We all fall down" makes sense, but you kind of have to reach to make the other parts fit. Given the British crown's association with roses in the 15th century and the "ashes ashes" part, I supposed you could say that it refers to the guy who built a ring of fire around himself during the plague, but there are a lot of problems with that, including that the "guy" was actually the pope instead of the King of England, and accounts vary on exactly what geometric arrangement the fire had, generally not in an actual ring around the Pope. It was probably more likely that simply sealing himself inside his chamber and allowing no admission was responsible for keeping him healthy. The proposition (both parts--the fire and the isolation) was actually brought forth by a Frenchman, Guy de Chauliac, instead of a Brit. Guy was a physician at the time and one of very few willing to actually study and attempt treatment of it. He was responsible for identifying it as two separate diseases--the boubonic plague and the pneumonic plague. And I'm getting way off topic so I'll stop there. --- |

| DevsBro 02/14/18 8:18:39 AM #13 | Sounds good to me. Though ideally, there would have been another page from the other perspective saying things like "leave your muddy shoes at the door--she works hard to keep the place clean" and "try to entertain the children for a while, as they can be a handful throughout the day." This is (part of) what marriage is all about: treating your spouse the absolute best possible. --- |

| Topic | Watching the Last Jedi right now... WTF at Leia... *spoilers* |
| DevsBro 02/13/18 2:09:13 PM #107 | Yeah there was seriously no worse thing they could have done and the only reason I can come up with for them doing it has disturbing-as-hell implications. 1. Leia does nothing whatsoever after that that somebody else couldn't have done, except 2. She had a perfectly good death scene and then they ruined it, only to now have to 3. It really feels like the kind of thing where they decided to give her a bigger role when Carrie Fisher died, but of course she would be dead after that point so she couldn't film anything else. WHICH MEANS they literally filmed all those post-should-have-been-death scenes before CF died not intending to use them unless she died before the film released. Literally "hey Carrie you don't look so good maybe we should film some stuff for whe--if you die. You know, to save face." --- |

For example, I love the dialog system, if only it were used more and people would say something better than ? when you ask the wrong thing.Another example, leveling what you use was also a cool idea but then the final boss punishes you for having too much HP, which is the only thing you can't not level. --- |
