    Best movie of the decade ?

    Honestly, it's because fury road is everything we loved about road warrior when we were twelve. Except times ten thousand and with a budget. PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Don't get angry with Cad. I haven't looked at this iteration of the argument, but it's not the first. If you look at what Cad's looking at... the conclusions that he's reaching are not unreasonable. I don't think he's right because I don't think our understanding is comprehensive. But that...

    Yeah, the seagulls is a little gross. But it's not like he can shotgun them out of the sky. That would be less gross but more dangerous. Are we going to put a man in jail for killing ten birds? Or course we are.

    Health Problems

    Lack of sleep is usually self correcting. What exactly the problems will be... It's not a young science but not a well established one either. The body does use sleep as a sort of repair and maintenance cycle. You don't need studies for that, it should be no shi t tier. Real insomnia is...

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    Probably civ, rimworld, oni, stardew valley. I've got my kink. I'll boot something up and pause it for hours at a time so I'm not sure how accurate things are. I think steam said something like 2,000 hours on civ.

    Well, it you ever decide you need to I burn yard waste about every other month. Limbs, leaves, junk mail, cat carcasses and stuff. Mail it to me with a fifty and I'll toss it on the pile.

    On the postitive side, I have much better poops than I used to. Being forced to eat like an actual human being and not rely soley on my ability to power through has made my innards work better.

    What was it that BSG used? FRAK! Honestly I'll take a texas drawl over that little bit of goofiness. And the belter creole is actually kind of impressive. When Kaufman made up a language it was impressive, but it sounded like intricate babytalk. Which yeah, that was the joke. That belter...

    Refunded item still shipped?

    Do the whole irate customer bit except in reverse. Be a real asshole about returning their merchandise to them. Demand to speak to supervisors and threaten lodging a complaint with the BBB if not the State Attorney General for what is obviously fraud. We're Americans, are we not?

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Well, he's still somebody. He's ensconsed in that Hollywood Royalty tier. It doesn't really matter if the movies that he makes anymore are good. It matters if they're profitable... because he has to be a "get this guy in your movie and you will do better than if you invest in alt-tech" figure...

    I like Peterson just fine. He's not the best communicator ever, he gets distracted with tangential thought. Which is conversational. He's trying so hard to be clear that it can get muddled at times. He's trying to say exactly what he means which results in so many qualifications and...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I enjoy that that's possible, at least. It's like logging into UO for the very first time and getting guardkilled at your spawn. Then logging off and going back to your mud because... well, what the fuck really. I'm mostly just surprised that there was another dude online to steal your ship...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah, just like there is no universal grid and all objects are relative to other objects (there is no universal {0,0,0}) there is no universal now. As a concept at interstellar distances it's not entirely meaningful. That follows from the observation that the transfer of information is not...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    They ruined picard in the TNG movies though, and they did it intentionally. For some reason people seem to think Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a bad movie. People like 90's picard, and people do realize that no one is going to give you 90's picard again. They like him for the same reason...

    Best movie of the decade ?

    Arrival was actually really good too. I think I only had two problems with it. The insert "overzealous soldier dude" they shouldn't have done. The other was just the unavoidable consequence paradox. Really don't hold that against the movie though, that one they couldn't avoid and shouldn't...

    Screamfeeder's Joint

    That's more than a 5 dollar word. That's about a 20 dollar word. I've never heard that word before at all. Most words you hear once or twice, even the super fancy "oh stop being pretentious" ones. But holy damn. Lagniappe sounds straight made up. Google says it's creole though. So while I...

    Doctor Who

    I really want to like a female doctor, and I'm sure that I could. I fucking adored Missy. But that trailer inspires no confidence in the writing. Dr Who is an adventure story, but it's not an ACTION adventure story.

    The amount of head washing and fin e combing might be more traumatic.e Not being snarky. A quick buzz might be the lesser evil. Dunno your kid, but I would lean into thinking it is. His mother might be able to sell it as a big boy haircut.

    Oh, I have no idea how it relates to trans issues. lol. You could overlay the same concepts onto a different set of cirumstances. I don't think that's necessarily stupid. It's one way to approach the problem. But I don't think it's a complete thing. Just part of a process of consideration...

    Just to be clear that righteous act of violence is very fucking dangerous left unchecked. Both personally and socially. It's no less dangerous even if you agree that it was righteous. A little contrition goes a long way into showing everyone else that you understand how dangerous it is.

    Vanessa's Tranny AMA Blog Thread

    I take your point. There is more than one reason, more than even two I think. But the two most obvious ones are these: In the act of that violence, that man may (or may not, depending on the man) feel residual guilt over the necessity of his actions. Sin allows for attonement. And if he...

    Looks like water cooling cum. I assume water cooling is basically brine anyway?

But then if you can count on them to last for...

    We have a great many variants of "that guy is dead and you seem to be responsbile". Murder only accounting for two of them. There are more ways to get to a corpse that do not involve murder than there are ways that do.

    I'd chalk that up to "When editors get sloppy and have to make deadline." If you haven't read the books, read a few of them. I lost interest I think about halfway through the third book, it might have been the fourth, but not because it was bad. It became predictable and a little too...
