Its obvious from your posts that logic isnt really your strong suit, but no. Your sentence should read, "by that logic, if someone said it is impossible, that tells me nothing about whether its possible" But that isnt what matters. What matters is that you got to smugly feel like the...

Literally every time humanity has achieved something great, there have been lots of people smugly opining "that can't be done! we've never done that before" Imagine sitting on the internet after thousands of years of human achievement and going "I'm gonna join the smugly opining side, that'll...

The ancestors of Americans didnt say "hey that sea voyage is gonna be really unformfortable, screw that". So Americans get to exist. The ancestors of Europeans didnt say "hey leaving Africa is a lot of hiking and fighting prehistoric beasts, screw that". So Europeans get to exist. The...

Theres a thing that bothers lots of people in this community. Maybe most. That thing doesnt bother you. And you make sure to proclaim this at every opportunity, and then criticize everyone else for being bothered by that thing. Its become more or less your identity on the subject of anything...

Shrug, you made a post complaining about how people were responding to the movie. Seems at least a little butthurt if I'm being honest.

I said this like 20 pages ago. "What, is this movie gonna become good despite the casting because the camera guy held the camera just right, or the actor did just the right things with his face?" And then you come in with Its like somebody puts a plate full of shit in front of you and you're...

Why is Valerie Jarret kissing a young Charleton Heston? I think thats AI

For anyone who hasn't watched the muppet episode yet: yes its every bit as bad as you imagine, and no they don't do anything interesting or funny with it.

Dont worry I'm sure they wouldnt use AI to design the sequences, that sounds risky (*they'll 100% use AI to design the sequences)

Kind of wild that the muppet captains hair is about 10x less ridiculous than the RL captains hair. I mean imagine that, they make a muppet version of you and it looks less silly.

Its kind of mind boggling people are still doing powdered drugs in the age of fentanyl. I mean granted, when I was doing coke in the 90s, there were already some people saying "oh thats too dangerous!" but it was based on like urban legends about rat poison. Never knew anyone who got sick from...

Cautious optimism based on ep 1. I like this Hal. "Why don't you wear your suit anymore?" "You know how when you're young and you want to prove yourself so you show up wearing a tie? Then you get older and realize ties are a pain in the ass" John is boring and bland but hes there for contrast...

"Surfing the internet". I read someone use this phrase unironically today and it reminded me how much I've hated the phrase ever since it came out in like the fucking early 2000s or whatever. You're sitting on your ass, moving your thumb while you stare at a shining rectangle. "Surfing the...

A more effective counterpoint might involve more than literally just a pixel. To be clear, I do see a lighter pixel moving against the grainy background. I'm just denying the assertion that its evidence of any object whatsoever, let alone a physical object of extraterrestrial origin.

Videos like this one - chosen as an arbitrary representative of its type - have got me pondering. I can't think of another phenomenon like this in human experience. Where two people can watch the same thing and one confidently asserts "hey theres something there!" while the other goes "what? no...

Entertaining enough to watch once. Dumb in ways that retroactively make the initially interesting parts uninteresting. Not worth a second viewing. This isnt the worst example of an "its all in your head" artsy fartsy movie or show that this forum inexplicably loved. But also certainly not a...

I hope you're right because I like the character and premise. Its one of the many problems with "its all in his head" stories, even watching a trailer for it seems pointless. Was scene X real or in his head, who knows! So artsy! Hopefully you're right that they're not going that way.

Don't like the direction theyre going with this. Stories where nothing is real and its all inside someones head generally end up retarded and pointless. Hard to think of any exceptions to that rule. Not even the one this forum inexplicably loved.

What the fuck, why is the NPC reaction not available in this thread? Why would different reactions be available in different threads? Thats real retarded. Why arent they all just available anywhere?

Thank you. That triggered me as much as if someone said "but Catwoman is supposed to be black!" or "but Iceman is supposed to be gay!"

This needs to be remembered every time an actor expresses an opinion on anything. These are people who consider sitting in a chair while some girl puts makeup on you to be "punishing" and "grueling". I mean, you make that complaint in writing, you can be dismissed as a real person forever...

I guess its not spoilers to say Yelena is in the movie. Good Lord she is the least likable character currently showing up in the MCU. Just nails on a chalkboard with no redeeming qualities. Some of these writers completely don't understand how to give a woman any "attitude" without making her...

I don't see how you can pin this on "we didn't know anything". I agree with that sentiment, if we're discussing the early days. But people were still talking about taking ivermectin in like 2022. Hell, I bet theres somebody whos posted about it even since then. Its a blatant contradiction...

Saw it this weekend. Very good, one of the top Spiderman movies, among the better MCU movies. The power creep/girlboss objection is dumb. Until the event, literally all she does is This is obviously well within the comic book abilities of a standard mutant telepath. After the event, Its...

Yeah. I called it a rorshach test earlier but that was wrong. Its simpler than that. Its "do you understand the friendzone phenomenon or not?" This was blatant, obvious, crystal clear friendzone behavior. And its necessary. People who somehow misread that scene miss something fundamental...

Ah, we're back to Schrodingers COVID! Simultaneously so fake it didn't kill anyone, anywhere. BUT also so dangerous it was reasonable to take veterinary or Indian deworming medicine to prevent its terrible effects.

End of last season and beginning of this one were both really weak and weird. And the hairdresser on this show has way too much creative control. The captain and first mate increasingly look like something from the Capitol in Hunger Games. Its right on the edge of too much girl power, and...

Good thing no one around here ever complains about or criticizes women or those of us whose wives are women might leave (In case its not clear: Sanrith. I'm making fun of Sanrith here)

No, its the retconned explanation shoehorned onto him after the fact. The central disagreement between him and Charles stands on its own regardless of this dumb add on.

would be great to get a non-holocaust magneto. It was always the least interesting part about him and distracted from the much more interesting side of his philosophical disagreement with professor X.

Pretty wild how this board went from "covid is just the flu" (which kills people every year) to "your loved ones didnt die of covid" The danger of a disease can be wildly overblown and it still kills some people, especially the old and sick. Sorry to hear about your parents.

Yeah but they need record profits. Do Americans need regular profits? I mean Americans don't even have shareholders!

you've read this rant before. you'll read it again. because apparently fucking Microsoft will never figure this shit out. I've been using Windows what, at least 30+ years? A shitload of different versions across an asston of different machines. And every so often, perhaps a few times a year...

On radiation: as I recall, it worked like this. Their planet had an extremely strong magnetic field that protected them completely from radiation. They never left the planets magnetic field until the trip to Tau.

This is just unwatchably bad, and thats coming from someone who actually liked the dumb premise and watched the whole original series. I'm not sure if the writers have ever watched BBT. Or understand how humor works on Earth.

It really is a little annoying. I don't think theres a single science question asked in this thread that wasnt directly addressed in the short, accessible book.

Eh. Women say shes hot, but women literally said Michelle Obama was pretty. (I know this sounds insane but really, its a widely held opinion among women). Volumes have been written on this phenomenon. They arent saying shes hot because they think shes hot. Beta Gen Z males say they agree...

I'll admit it sounds like a reasonable way to work around it.

Oh, if they *explain* it thats alright. It surely wont lead to a decade or two of raceswapped casting.
