i feel like the next episode, the last episode, is going to have too much going on to properly end the series for a half hour episode

which falls perfectly in line for when i said that the show is a lead-in to several movies and wont have a proper conclusion.

i was already right about the show being designed to be binged, bet i'm completely right about this, too

If you're the one that gets to decide when you're right, is there ever a time when you've been wrong?

Does the vision Android have a dick?

or is he basically a giant Ken doll with red skin and a gem in his forehead?

I remember reading something that Whedon really wanted Vision to have a penis in Age of Ultron. When the concept artists drew up different visuals for him, he realized that it was a bad idea and left vision penisless.

Edit: Age of Ultram. Lol

It really makes you feel like Scarlet Witch.

That was such a good episode. I went to look at ign's review and they gave it a 6. Lol

Haha. You could also do Parent 1 and Parent A, so they can both be first...

That's funny. I was just wondering how I would choose which one would be parent 1.

LinkPizza posted...

Oh. I think its dumb, too. I just guessing at what they want. Personally, I still call my mom and dad mom and dad. They seem fine with it...

I'm going to start calling my mom and dad, parent 1 and parent 2. lol

LinkPizza posted...

This is true. But I guess that want a way to talk about a certain parent... So they can distinguish the 2+...

If they want to talk specifically about a parent, they could just use their name. I think it's very similar to our pronouns of He/Her/They. There are only three categories there but they work fine just like that and we don't have to create anymore. I feel father/mother/parent should work the same.

edit: I have trouble imagining a scenario where someone gets asked, "Are you this child's parent?" and then that person gets offended by gender insensitivity.

This doesn't even make sense. We already have a gender-neutral term to use if needed. "Parent."

My friend was doing that with the latest SAO. I just cant. It kills me waiting for people on YouTube to upload certain stuff Im excited to watch. Haha. Waiting is probably the one thing that actually makes me forget about shows...

Sword Art Online? I tried watching the latest one a while back and I remember liking it but I just got sidetracked. Maybe I'll go back some day.

LinkPizza posted...

I think it can be both, but I dont think that was the reason for this show. Or for most shows, really. Ben without a cliffhanger, many shows will have people talk in and speculating. IMO, I dont think a good show should have to rely on a cliffhanger to spark discussion about the next episode. And I think even without cliffhangers, people would still be talking about this show, I would think. I think most content these days are made to be binged. And the cliffhangers are more for keeping people coming back. Thats just how I feel about it, though...

For my personal viewing, I dont feel like waiting, so I normally binge everything these days...

I definitely agree that I don't like waiting. Netflix has really spoiled me with binging whole shows in a few days. Whereas WandaVision and Attack on Titan Season 4 are killing me with the wait time between episodes, they do give me something to look forward to each week.

I mean, can't they do both? Provide speculation and bring interest/excitement to watch next week's episode. I think when it comes down to it, the show writers and director obviously knew the format of Disney+ and that format is weekly episodes. It quite literally was made to be an episodic watch. That in addition to the fact that it is heavily inspired by episodic sitcoms which has clearly affected the structure is why I'm agreeing with TDC. Not that any of this really matters in the end. I'm enjoying the show regardless. I just like to debate to pass the time sometimes.

I still don't think it was made to be binge watched. The structure is clearly episodic, especially considering it was inspired by old sitcoms. Just because you want to binge watch it doesn't mean that it was made with that intent, and I'm a huge binge watcher. Most of these episodes have ended with cliffhangers that are meant to spark speculation and discussion. Hard to do that if it is all put out at once.

I think Agatha pulled Quicksilver from another dimension in the Nexus, and that is why he looks different.

This could make a lot of sense. She doesn't know how to bring people back from the dead, but she knows how to pull from alternate realities.

I think Agnes is trying to manipulate Wanda and use that magic book to bring her husband "Ralph" back from the dead or something.

Yo Clench, you're the bald muscular guy that used to post on Paradiso back in the day, correct?

You're probably thinking of Charles.

I've been doing better on my workouts. I've worked out probably about 3 to 5 times a week for over a month now. I started with bodyweight and I'm adding weights back into it now.

I was really hoping for more for Zelda's 35th... and I want metroid news!

I don't know about that man. I'd date younger and older. However yes age doesn't matter to me in the terms of interaction.

Yeah I just meant generally in terms of interaction. How much older and younger are you talking about though? Haha

SunWuKung420 posted...

All his questions implied people aren't born homosexual but exposure to dicks makes them gay. So yes, this topic is quite homophobic.

Eh, I don't know if I agree with if that was implied. People question their own sexuality all the time. I think it could be a genuine question someone might have if they're dealing with feelings they've been suppressing.

HornedLion posted...

Well then... the question is... do we rid ourselves of traumatic memories... or are their existence more valuable than the pain they cause in that they help us avoid pain in the future?

Pretty deep stuff
I think pain is valuable in that it tells us something about ourselves. There is pain in trauma but not all pain is traumatic. Trauma is definitely much deeper and crippling.

That's really only half an explanation. Going into trance is a skill that you learn, the more you work at it, the easier it is. You can resist going into trance, somebody else can't force it on you, so if you're determined to "prove" that you can't be hypnotized, you won't be. The hypnotist is more of a guide to help you through the process, and isn't even a necessary part, you do the work of putting yourself into a trance.

Yeah I haven't read much into it at all. I had a professor who told me he practiced self-hypnotism as well. There was something I can't quite put my finger on that made me not like that professor though. He didn't seem genuine or competent at times...

I dont think merely asking questions about sexuality is homophobic.

Wish I could say the same. Congrats!

wwinterj25 posted...

I see it as like saying you wouldn't date a certain race. That doesn't actually make you racist. It's just a preference. No different to brown eyes over blue for example.

I think maybe a good comparison is like saying you prefer to spend time with people your own age. That doesn't mean you hate old people or children.

Lol. I wonder what you get. Maybe a tailored plan on how to live your best life based on your personality.

Fam_Fam posted...

i agree, finding things to be different and understanding the differences between them is not racist.

not wanting to hang out with people because of their race is not that, though.

I agree with that too. I don't think anyone here mentioned that they don't want to hang out with someone because of their race.

DrPrimemaster posted...

These testimonials seem a little heavy.

I was honestly shocked how accurate it was. I teared up a bit because it was like there was a person looking inside my mind and telling me what they saw.

I cant believe how accurate this was... Word for word. I never felt so understood. I thought I was the only one of my kind.

It is undeniably eerie how the description and traits nailed me so thoroughly. Wish I had known about my personality type 20 years ago, that would have saved me much grief.

Seems a tad over the top for your personality results.

I didn't even look at the testimonials. Testimonials seem weird for a site like this in general.
DrPrimemaster posted...

Does this site seem off to anyone else? Its got this weird cultish vibe to me. Like the kind you see in a personal trainer trying to sell you a 6 month plan with a ton of supplements attached to it.

Is there anything they sell? I didn't look much into the website besides the test.

TheOkHornedRat posted...

Yes. Yes I am saying that.

That's where we disagree a bit. *shrug*

Also, I would guess that people may disagree about which personality traits listed here are "preferable." The difference of preference is probably also rooted in their personality. Either way, it gives you something interesting to think about when it comes to personality differences.

TheOkHornedRat posted...

Intent matters for dick. A person can try to be honest all they want.

For example, if you ask most people whether they think they are more logical or more emotional and OF COURSE they say logical. Most people want to make rational decisions based on reason and logic, and most people think they do. Watch those same people and you'll notice they are governed way more by their emotions than they think, just like everyone else.

You can say none are supposed to be better or worse, but that's just more BS. First of all, people have preferences. They like certain personalities and they dislike others, and are therefore going to see some of those as better than others, whether they do so consciously or not. Second, I never said they were choosing their fake results, just their probably fake answers.

Personality tests are fun, but dumb. Imagine trying to summarize a complex human being with a couple dozen vague questions.

Lol. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on some things. I don't actually believe a person's entire personality can be summed up by one test, but I think you go a bit overboard with your belief about people's tendency to misrepresent themselves. It might be true for some people, but I'm sure many people can acknowledge that they have less desirable traits. It's not as hard to admit as you make it seem. I mean, you even alluded to that fact yourself when you said that most people act out of emotion. If you can admit that many people act that way, why wouldn't other people be able to? I can admit that I sometimes do. Are you saying most people are incapable of being honest about themselves?

TheOkHornedRat posted...

just looking at the questions, i can pretty well guess most people get the results for the person they most want to be, not the person they actually are. i would guess a lot of people will get INTJ or INTP, believing themselves to be highly intelligent and logical, when in reality they are overtly emotional and probably around average intelligence (i mean, aren't most of us?). interesting test, but i would put exactly 0 faith in the results.

I would assume most people would be curious enough to have an actual projection of their personality, so they would be motivated to answer honestly. Getting a result based off lying for this test doesn't do anything for you. There are actual tests that can tell if a person is lying/faking their answers though. Personality categories aren't really considered better or worse than eachother. Theyre just different. Aside from that, this test doesn't measure intelligence at all so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Lol

You know, if you boil things down enough, all stories can fit into like 7 archetypes >_>

I mean, we could just categorize people as just extroverts and introverts and call it a day too. The more categories, the more descriptive I guess.

Well not straight up, I was using that comparison for hyperbole, but I do think its still not a good way of determining someone's personality, there is so much more that goes into someone's personality. There is more than 16 different kinds of people in this world

It doesn't determine someone's exact personality. As you said, there is too much variation in people's personalities for that. It is however a good way to get a good picture of what someone is generally like. They tend to be accurate enough for that purpose. Categories serve all sorts of purposes. We use them to describe pretty much everything: people's political views, genres of music, cultural backgrounds, food groups, etc etc. If someone were to tell me they are a democrat or they only listen to country music, it tells me a little bit about that person. A personality test goes a bit deeper than that and actually has a scientific basis. 16 types of personalities is pretty broad. Try taking it. If anything for just a bit of fun and to see if you agree with the results.

I'm an INFJ-T

I noticed that this has an A or T at the end. I'm just going to guess that mine would have been an A. Our types are pretty similar though! Just one major difference. :)

I'm really hoping for some good Zelda stuff. I doubt there will be news on Metroid Prime 4, but a man could dream.
