- Comment on What is Superman's "kryptonite"? 1 day ago:
Superman makes for great stories, as long as you don’t focus on his power. You can’t beat him with physical strength, so stop trying to write strong villains. Probably stop writing villains at all. What Superman struggles with isn’t physical embodiments of evil, it’s the good intentions paving the way to hell. You can’t punch a person with good intentions for their bad outcomes. It’s hard being the ultimate arbiter of good in a world of complex morality.

- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 2 days ago:
Could be lots of downtime, meaning lots of time to watch anime? But I also think there’s way more weebs than people think and it’s mainly in dangerous jobs like military that people lose their inhibitions, stop giving a fuck and just start bonding over whatever they like. Anime is just weird enough to be kept hidden initially, but also harmless enough to admit to your buddies.

- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 1 week ago:
Yeah, I expected them to ask the full $60 for it, which would be completely unreasonable, but at least I understand why they wouldn’t give it away then. But 10? They could easily eat that, they just don’t want to.
Either way, I can’t imagine anyone paying for a “game” that’s nothing more than an instruction booklet. If it were free, maybe someone would open it while Mario Kart is downloading.
- Comment on Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film 1 week ago:
The memes are mostly based on the trailer and don’t have a whole lot to do with the game. Like, flint and steel is a completely normal item, but the way Jack Black says it in the movie is hilarious.

That’s why I break windows. Six more francs in the hand of the glazier. It is a good thing to break windows, it causes money to circulate, and the encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it.

Emojipedia has a copy of Emoji Mashup that can do exactly that. I don’t think there’s any emoji with feet though, so you can’t make that goatse like on the poster.

- Comment on Is it a pattern that most of Zendaya's haters are right-wing or is it just a coincidence? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m just memeing. The first thought in my head when I read her name was “…and Zendaya?? Oh-ho damn…”
- Comment on Is it a pattern that most of Zendaya's haters are right-wing or is it just a coincidence? 1 month ago:
The babies were introduced as a plot device in Shrek the Third in 2007 and no one really cared about them. They returned in Shrek Forever After, this time as characters instead of stakes, but not many people were interested to see another Shrek movie after Shrek the Third. Forever After was kinda decent though, from what I remember. Compared to 3 at least.

You can find Friendship is Witchcraft on Youtube, it’s some of the best the fandom ever made. (Also, the show itself is pretty good, would recommend.)

- Comment on Is this green or blue? 1 month ago:
If that was the red-green distribution, no one would be arguing whether it was a greenish-red or a reddish-green, because we all know about yellow. OP’s color is teal.
- Comment on Is this green or blue? 1 month ago:
I did two runs, the first ended at 177 (three more greens than 76%of respondents), the second at 174 (the exact median). I think the methodology is flawed, there’s a little randomness at the threshold so you need to gather more data to be certain of a person’s perception. You’ll see that the same hue can seem bluer when it follows a strong green, or greener when it follows a weak green.
- Comment on Murica 1 month ago:
You underestimate how much noise cars make. I’m 20 meters from my neighbors and I never hear a peep. Meanwhile, I’m a kilometer from the highway and I can hear always hear it at least a little bit (and a lot when the wind is in my direction). So you have to go really low density, like 1 house per square kilometer and 5 kilometers of dirt road before even reaching a regional road, to go quieter than this, but… unsurpisingly, not many people live there.
- Comment on Murica 1 month ago:
The 25 miles is a bit much, but if your instrument/sporting gear can fit in a bag, you can carry it on a bike. There’s backpacks for guitars, cellos and tubas and I regularly see kids cycling to their lessons with those. This is a fairly dense town though, so 5km max (20 minutes at child-speeds). Kids also can’t drive cars, so if it’s not happening by bike, it’s not happening at all.
- Comment on Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today? 1 month ago:
The bandwidth of a station wagon just keeps increasing with advances in storage technology.
But a 10Gb/s line will do about 100TB in a day, so there’s not that many situations left where you have enough data to make the station wagon worth the effort. Wikipedia has a few examples, with the most recent being a truck doing 100PB for AWS. I think we passed station wagon station 10 years ago.

I think instead of having less representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.
- Comment on We're in the endgame now 2 months ago:
They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)

You’ll notice the gas, but the water comes from the acid being neutralized and won’t really be detectable. You just drank a glass of water too, that’s way more water than a tablespoon of baking soda can produce.

Not even.

Don’t submit it for review if you haven’t reviewed it yourself, Darren.

- Comment on Meme gift (and note in thread) 2 months ago:
For me this was The Phantom Tollbooth, but that’s a 70s film, so muc older. Actually, the year I watched it on midday television after school was closer to 1970 than to the present.
