    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Speech about movement, and how our entire brain developed to facilitate prediction required for complex movement. Every movement you do is effectively run through a simulation of "how it should go" a split second before you actually do it, and its the 'noise' between how it actually goes and how...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I actually see the opposite. Pattz is the "soy" one...I mean, don't me wrong, I think they are both not great for the role--Batman actually a big guy, these two just don't look at that imposing even when they put on muscle. But Hoult has shown a range for crazy that I think would make him better...

    Passing up Nicholas Hoult is a mistake.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah. I liked Original Trek's combat a lot better. Was based on submarine/battleship combat and starships being major assets. Getting a fleet of 40 together was a HUGE deal. And it really made sense. If you're using particle weapons that move at the speed of light, and are fighting within X...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Maybe their building her up to be the villain for Civil War 2. Because...I mean, that was genuinely something a villain or anti-hero would do. Which is why it was done by the Terminator, a literal killing machine.

    Epic Seven

    There is a new patch in the playstore, they fixed the stutter/locking issue it seems. Game is running smooth for me again, where before it was hanging for a few seconds on every transition.

    Epic Seven

    Assasin Coli is extremely dominant in the current meta because she's one of the fastest units in the game and she can stun (Or silence a whole team if she kills) and its very easy to kill squishy targets with her S3 if its fully Molgd. But as others have said, she's a very resource intensive...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Only good part of that was how they used a flute for the theme at the end. And the only reason that was good was because of the nostalgia it invoked.

    Feminism: "Believe what I believe or I'll accuse you of not being a real man by questioning your sexual confidence". Feminism: "The patriarchy abuses men by questioning their sexual prowess/confidence if they don't fall in line". The only men here who aren't secure are the ones that would let...

    (From a youtube comment lol) Uses Batman's equipment, suit, cave, and symbolism......Complains about men taking credit for her work. Okay.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, that would have helped. But if they wanted to do it right, this needed to happen over the last 3 seasons. The problem was, yeah, Dany talked a lot of shit. But aggressive language doesn't lead to genocide, leaders NEED to display strength in order avert conflict. This is why weak leaders...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Foreshadowing is not character development. Dany's sadism and enjoyment of violence wasn't really the problem, that's a well developed character trait. The problem was just how it was used. It was foreshadowed she maybe wanted to let loose with it, sure, but her control over it to direct it at...

    You should give us an example of this. Because this sounds like you're jerking yourself off trying to make sense of a mess, because you want to be the annoying guy that sees brilliance in the madness. So far your post sounds like another "logistics and modernity" pile of garbage that is being...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    He's not being altruistic here. He's simply pointing out the only way to attack steam is to offer less features and charge less. If steam could charge less while still offering all its features, Epic wouldn't have anything--even as is, even with their cheap infrastructure allowing a reduced...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep. Like everything else, it felt like they had a good ending, but had to condense it into shit because the characters naturally getting there would have taken a lot longer, and been a lot harder to write. I'm not really thinking the False Targ Martin wrote in was to give Dany two southern...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep. Jon even tried to defend it "its easy to say when you're not in the battle". Dude, YOU weren't in the battle. They literally threw their swords down at your feet. Like I said last week, ALL of this would have made so much more sense (Even if it was still really stretching it) if the bells...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Also, you can tell the writers only half understood or just abandoned the Azor Azhai thing halfway. Drogon should have bowed to Jon. In that scene, Jon became Azor Azhai, he killed the one he loved in order to crystallize the power needed to defeat the Others. And that power should have been...

    All I kept thinking while watching the ending was "man...If we had great writing bringing us here, this would have been great". Absent Bran the Broken, everything in that ending would have been amazing if the road there made sense. The visuals, the nostalgia, the epilogue for the characters--all...

    So After Sansa declared independence, the Iron Islands, which now hate the starks for killing Dany and had literally started a war not more than 20 years before for independence just shuts the fuck up? Dorne, which still calls its lords princes in recognition of its ability to resist Targ rule...

    Epic Seven

    Nice thing about events is that the veteran level (Or whatever the second difficulty of the 4 is), is better exp per energy than grinding on normal stages. I'd grind as hard as possible, Sol's got a great bonus for multiple copies, too, 12% defense to the front slot. But who to bring to 50 for...

    Aladdin (2019)

    Others have linked great examples, but this just isn't true. Indians do this all the time, not even for movies--just for music videos. And the visuals are striking and interesting. You can make work it you aren't a lazy asshole with your camera. In this case they could have used a CGI genie...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If this follows the "real history", the person to sit on the throne should be Dany, married to Jon--if Dany is our "Henry the VII". Her life mirrors Henry's pretty much, I guess you could say Jon and her mirror Henry. The other possibility is Tyrion and Sansa. Tyrion is most likely based on...

    Chernobyl

    Btw, a good video for the differences between Russian and American reactors. I thought so, but as he confirms in the video, its not possible for Russian reactors to "go critical" (IE nuclear bomb) because the fuel enrichment was too low in the mass, but it is possible for them to become...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Exactly, Professor Hulk always missed this. Hulk having control over his "anger" makes him....not the Hulk anymore. It makes him literally a super strong, but otherwise normal human. What people fear and are attracted to is the catharsis and horror of letting that primal part of ourselves take...

    The Twilight Zone

    "Regulated" in this sense doesn't even mean "regulated" like we mean today (As in regulation). Regulated back then meant to be in "working order" or "effective". A "well regulated militia" in other words means, literally an effective, functioning militia. Or a "well armed, lethal militia". What...

    This. The problem is not that Dany did it or that she had it in her to do it. THAT has been hinted at enough, Dany is capable of being vicious. The issue is that another central part of Dany's character is showing she has control over that side of herself. Now, they began to put together the...

    Chernobyl

    Ulana was not a real person during it. Most of the characters so far have been based on specific people. She is based on a small team of guys who got together from other research institutes and realized shit was about to go down, and so forced them beuracrats to listen. The explosion part I'm...

    No. In a Fascist state, private enterprise still exists. However, they both can develop the same issues because Fascist states can direct private enterprise, while socialism just owns the businesses. And in the end, centralized networks lag like a mother fucker because there are too many ape...

    It's ironic you brought up folding screens and watches, because folding screens will probably eventually make smart watches viable, depending on what level it expands to.

    No, I'm arguing what made that screen fold is a revolution in material science that is totally new, its only been used to make an old product better. Which is what pretty much EVERY invention after language and fire have been. (Because the only two thing constraining human advancement is...

    If that thing folded into something that could fit in your pocket you'd make a god damn fortune selling it to hipsters. Kidding aside, you're still missing the forest through the trees.
