    ok now you are just trolling, what's next brazillian power crystals? the only thing even suspected to be faster than light is the expansion of the universe itself, spacetime. Nothing in all of science in the heavens or earth requires FTL to be a thing in order to explain it.

    Here. Right here is where you did. Are you confused? Do you not understand you are basically saying you'd use an infinite energy generator to power your matter replicator to make fuel out of nothing so you can power your perpetual motion machine? Because that is exactly what you are stating...

    woah i'm not even sure where to start with this one. You think the answer is a perpetual motion machine combined with an infinite energy machine and a matter replicator, so like the trifecta of magic disguised as "science" I regret to inform you that matter cannot, in fact, be created, nor...

    And fusion runs off of? Oh that's right, fuel. matter. Whether you are taking big atoms and making smaller atoms or taking smaller atoms and making bigger atoms, you need fuel. Again the answer is always magic. And the time required is a product of distance and velocity? You guys truly do...

    Then i'll ask you to show your work on where the energy comes from. Ignore fueling the ship even, just tell me where the energy comes from to run the robots for 400k years it'll take us to get to the closest habitable planet? Let's say we even get to 30% c (which makes fueling your ship even...

    I know you are a smart person so i know you realize that your statement can just as easily be re-written to: "Right, unless we can figure out how to make hogwarts real and start casting spells, then FTL based on our current understanding isn't possible." exact same sentence. Also I never...

    ?? we've done this. Voyager is heading out to space right now. few million years it'll even escape the Oort cloud. We'll long since have lost the ability to communicate with it or receive any information from it so it's kinda a moot point, assuming we're even still alive. The human mind...

    I did watch the video. It's click bait, it's sci-fi. This super rare thing that only happened once? Of course the video then admits and glosses over that it happened multiple times. Hello, Chlorophyll. So that super rare thing has happened more than 100% of the time. 100% of the time it...

    Missing a few zeroes there. Average distance between stars is 4LY in a close cluster. Average number of stars with a habitable earth like planet is 1 per 1-10k stars, (7% of stars are sun like, and up to 10-20% of those have earth like planets, based on current optimistic estimates. But...

    having a hard time thinking of a single thing that happened in ep 1-3 as world building or necessary. Anything that can be covered in an opening text scroll doesn't need 3 shitty episodes and 75 million to cover. I stand ready to be corrected once I finish the season but I doubt anything...

    no, in 2010+ beauty pageants are won by diversity hires/trannies to indicate just how enlightened you are, as a culture, to ignore beauty and judge based on how many boxes you check in the oppression olympics

    how is this interesting? (intelligent) Life is rare? that's like the #1 on the list of dumbass reasons for the alleged Fermi's "Paradox" and is instantly debunked. Intelligent life has happened at least once and in a universe as near to infinite as to be indistinguishable it has happened an...

    was about to correct you one way (way more than 1 million) but after taking a look at it, actually no, I'm afraid I have to disagree. There's only about 3 million females in Denmark (total pop 5.9mil). of the 3mil women, ~650k are children 0-19, about 1.7mil are 40-100. Only about ~700k are...

    ok just started watching S2 and goddamn was the first arc fucking rough. Heard nothing but good things following this arc so I powered through it. On Ep 4 now and it once again jumps forward 1 year later.....And this show ends right before Rogue One, right? So I imagine every arc going to...

    Ok so I couldn't finish hotel reverie and I never watched the bandersnatch thing so skipped the sequel to that one as well. Ep 5 Eulogy. great episode, paul giamatti is an amazing actor and it really highlights how terrible most of the other actors/episodes/dei hires are from the last several...

    Black Mirror

    third episode is a fucking slog, haven't been able to finish it. Of course its Netflix so its DEI-ified but goddamn having to waste screen time explaining your way out of painting yourself into a corner with black female race/sex swap in a 1940s movie is ultra faggotry, but at least they...

    I don't really know anything about soccer but Ted Lasso learned me about the whole promotion/demotion thing, so at least I understand that part. is this just real life reverse moneyball?

    Finally getting around to watching this season, 2 episodes in. Ep1 Common People. this one was hard to really watch. Premise is 100% on point but I feel that it relied on the strength of the premise alone. The story/writing was missing a few beats, I mean the acting was fine as well but the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    who has? Honda? Don't think so. Acura doesn't so I doubt honda does. I know Toyota/Lexus doesn't. You know every manufacturer has their own implementation right? Some companies aren't retarded.

    So guys how does AC: Valhalla compare to AC: Odyssey? I had only ever played one of the original ACs back on a buddies PS3 for a bit and absolutely hated the control scheme* so never really got in to it. For the record the witcher III has the same problems, but I forgave it since the storyline...

    You mispelled faggots and karens there. Literally only faggots and karens start any correspondence much less a fucking email with a salutation before the receivers name. Dearest Aldarion, I hope this letter finds you well and inspires joy joy feelings throughout your day. Just kidding, eat...

    lawyer think's its because they are lazy, pot > kettle. No susan, it's because your profession exists. Radiologists job is to interpret images and provide a report to CYA for the dr to confirm the diagnosis. If we hung every litigator and got rid of malpractice then sure, your dr or his...

    On a cell phone but you can read what "weighted" means and there is a note any time they implement it ("unusual activity detected"), just look up the snow white remake and you'll see what I mean.

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    looks like it's skewed to the right not left, with slightly more movies receiving higher ratings. Not sure if it's selection bias (outside of universally panned cultural flops like, the snow white remake, popular movies tend to be slightly better than average and receive more reviews than...

    could never forget about that game i think about it from time to time, hate that it never really took off It along with Savage really pushed the boundaries of what RTS could be, such a shame we ended up with fucking league of legends/MOBAs instead

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    IMDB is not a distribution model, it is an average, it aggregates reviews. it's different math so yeah you will never get a 1 or 10 its impossible. despite being a small sample size, in that theoretical reviewer's mind, almost everything, 75% of all movies are absolute garbage shit with a 0...

    I mean other than math and that's how statistics work, you mean? It's called a standard deviation or standard model for a reason, you can have a low deviation or high deviation but you will always get a bell curve, and it will always be relative.

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    The problem is ratings are meaningless since almost everyone uses them wrong. a 6.5/10 is objectively a good film. It's better than 75% of all movies ever made. But retards don't know how numbers work so the worst slop they've ever seen, they'll bitch and moan about wasting their time and...

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    65% is good to great. not quite excellent. 50% is average. nearly every movie ever made falls into this category. Let me see how many 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 out of 10s you've given for movies in your life then we can judge what you think a 6.5/10 movie is. Now I'm guessing, but you are probably one...

    First off, if I even suspect someone of incompetence such that they can't reply to an email, I will immediately follow up with a phone call to state "hey retard, I just sent you an email its important". I work in government so a good 80-90% of the people I am interacting with fall into that...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    This excuse is getting tiresome. I get that you could argue that in this film its true, though he has had his powers for literally 3 seconds at this point in the film so he really has no idea his own strength or know how to pull his punches, he would kill them all on accident in a fist fight...

    standard MCU flair. its a solid 4 out of 10. better than most of the shit post end game. I'd say bottom 1/3 of MCU but I forgot how many dog turds the MCU has released. So middle of the pack but not because it's good, because most of the MCU is so shit. shit written "villain" ie JLDs...
