    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Its rule #1 when it comes to Chinese Science: if all the research was done in China, and all the people on the paper are Chinese, its fake. I mean, this stuff is like Nigerian prince emails. It feels a little silly even having to say out lout that its fake.

    Amazon will be sharing your bandwidth if you have one of their devices.

    If someone can access my wifi, they're already trespassing. Still, this is a fucked up development and good call to let people know about it.

    The Fast Food Thread

    sushi places always have the tables way too close together. I can't count the number of times I've overheard other diners asking about, or commenting about, how fresh the fish is. I'm sitting there like (a) no theres no such thing as fresh fish in sushi and (b) you don't really want fresh fish...

    Superman & Lois

    I dunno, shes the perfect Lois to me. Its like that nails on a chalkboard Elizabeth Shue. I've had to stop watching other shows she was in because she grated on me so much. But in The Boys as the Vought bitch? She was perfect, I loved her in that role. Lois has always been a kind of Olive...

    This carts thing isnt Costco specific. There are a whole bunch of mouth breathing retards in every grocery store who havent figured out that its possible and I know this may blow a few minds, so some may wish to sit down before continuing its actually possible to park your cart out...

    Superman & Lois

    Finished this. Damn. As a long time DC comics fan... this is the single best superman adaptation of the modern era. I disliked Clark a little at first, but what I initially read as kind of urban soy boy tendencies now comes across as just a modern version of the Clark Kent "aw shucks" boy scout...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Im questioning how much faster it really is. In the demo video (which I only skimmed because fuck videos) it looked like they built a small structure without any of the finishing work. No plumbing, no electrical, no hardware. To just frame and side a structure that size? I bet you can hire...

    The Umbrella Academy

    Whats the problem? If we're taking her word for it, she's been playing a woman her whole life, making her perfect for the role. Alternatively, for the reality based, she's a chick (with a mental illness) playing a chick. Either way, I don't see how she gets out of it. Sorry, you have to play...

    The Last Kingdom

    I dunno. Season 1 (and if I remember rightly 2) of Vikings were the shit. But for me, this show didnt fall off a cliff like Vikings did, it just kept being awesome.

    That looks absolutely disgusting. They should introduce them in Chicago. They'd make a killing.

    The Last Kingdom

    I love this show, but with the way the main character's accent gets thicker each season, it would have been incomprehensible by season 7. It had to end while we could still understand him without subtitles. Seriously though I'm just happy to hear it gets another season. This is arguably better...

    Wheel of Time

    what the fuck, how many hours did I spend reading those books and never once pictured Tuon as black. Not clear how Artur Hawkwing's descendants ended up African but I guess I cant argue with text references. So they were a race of black people who brought slavery to the Westlands?

    Wheel of Time

    lol no. I see your fan fic picture but did you even read those books? I don't recall a single mention of the Seanchan being black. Werent they Artur Hawkwing's descendants, from the same land as the main characters? Yes, a quick wiki review says they were. What is this fan fic Seanchan were...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Why does your side in this debate consistently pick examples that make zero sense? RDJ is a dead ringer for comic book Tony Stark. White guy, dark hair, average build. I mean ok he had to adjust his facial hair, but thats about as relevant as hairstyle. If we're picking actors exclusively...

    Wheel of Time

    LOL there were literally zero black or even dark skinned characters in those books. At this point I'm not sure why they ever bother sticking to the same gender or number of limbs. Just cast anything as anything.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    You seem to keep deliberately missing the point. None of this has anything to do with race. The actor has literally one job. Stand there and look like the character. Sure, he has to say some words (that someone else wrote) in a certain tone of voice (that someone else told him to use). But...

    I dont get why people keep thinking this is a rebuttal. "The current trend to replace whites with blacks is fucking retarded" "Oh yeah? Heres an example of a raceswapping casting decision that happened once, so you're wrong!" Its not even clear why this example was chosen, since he seems to...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    what the fuck, it has nothing to do with "representation" at all. Casting a black guy for a white character is bad for the same reason casting a fat actor for a skinny character is bad. If 100% of the characters in a particular source material are white, then 100% of the actors cast to play...

    We've discussed the pattern ad nauseum. Its nearly every time, within that specific pattern. And almost never, outside of that. But I'm sure its all a coincidence that only racists would spin into a pattern.

    Dont be ridiculous. Country music has melody. They sing. You can dislike it (although that opinion would be wrong) but you can't pretend country music has the clunky, inelegant, mumble mouthed tough guy talking over repetitive electronic noises thing that defines rap. Country musicians play...

    Its literally just talking in an aggressive or sing-song way while repetitive noises play in the background. No shit, we never liked the genre in the first place. Rap / hip hop /whatever you want to call the shit is the musical equivalent of the kid who was already growing a mustache in...

    all this discussion about the test has me wondering, did they go into detail about that in the jupiters circle comics? I loved the jupiters legacy ones but couldnt handle more than a couple pages of the art in jupiters circle. Do they show the test somewhere in those?

    We're nitpicking over oxygen while debating time inversion - I recognize this. but no, houseplants don't do anything meaningful in terms of oxygen production. They'd have to go with like a warehouse full of O2 tanks or something.

    yes, that was my complaint. Its overdone to such an extent that by the time they "reveal" the third pincer its like "who gives a shit? Don't you guys have any other tricks you can do with time inversion?" I'm still stuck on how they brought back enough inverted oxygen for sparkly vampire to...

    Youre missing the point while wagging your dick about being "literary" No I havent read In Cold Blood. Know why? I read what it was about and it didnt sound interesting. When I read what The Gunslinger was about, I picked it up and read it. Theres no doubt in my mind Capote did some clever...

    Heres the thing. King wrote about vampires, psychic powers, aliens, and other interesting shit. Capote wrote about family drama and coming of age as a homosexual or some shit. It really doesnt matter how good Capote was at placing commas or using his thesaurus. This just makes King a better...
