- Comment on Nicolas Cage film 'The Surfer' induces knee-buckling six minute standing ovation at Cannes 2 hours ago:
6 minutes standing because I can? Easy-peasy
6 minutes standing in a theater clapping for some dude I’m never gonna meet (or don’t care to socialize with if we’re in similar circles) because a movie was apparently good? I mean not hard but certainly uncomfortable, in more than one way.

Well, Dr. @qjkxbmwvz, I will gladly address you as doctor here to both acknowledge your hard work, and the fact that you aren’t an arrogant prick about things.
Cheers!

The best kind of correct!

I’m sure it would come in handy sometimes, though!
Mildly related, this scene just popped into my head:
“Excuse me, I just need to go get my Doctor Glove”
“what’s that?”
“The glove I wear when I bitch slap people who don’t call me Doctor. It’s embroidered.”

I know this is a joke, but are there seriously people who think someone who doesn’t like you is going to call you “Doctor” because you have a piece of paper?
Of course it’s not just a piece of paper, it requires metric shitloads of dedication, hard work, and all manner of things about which I haven’t the faintest idea.
But the person who doesn’t like you doesn’t care about all that.
Unless there is some sort of reason they need to appease you or someone at an organization they’re part of (work, personal stuff, whatever) they have no reason to acknowledge your hard work.
And honestly, when someone gives me that look and corrects me with “it’s DOCTOR” in that tone, I make a point to never refer to them as doctor, simply because of our first interaction. Be more friendly when introducing yourself as “Dr. Name Lastname”. And maybe learn to live with the fact that not everyone cares about titles.
Sorry for the rant, semi-serious question, it just struck a nerve because someone did this to me recently and did not react well to me continuing to call them by their first name.

Okay so I’m guessing here, and if my guess is right I’m just not familiar enough with bio-sciences to really be sure.
Are these neurons?
And is the joke “These neurons are all over the place so it’s no wonder my thoughts are too”?
Genuine question. I’m more of an engineer than biologist.

There it is.
There’s the problem.
You’re assuming this will be used when needed, and not used in excess, trampling down people who are already underfoot.
All cops are bastards, no exceptions for location.
If they CAN abuse a law, they WILL abuse it. At every opportunity.

There was a guy who had a whole row of little themed rubber ducks he got at conventions who lived in the same apartment complex as me growing up.

I like watching Rick and Morty.
I have exactly 0 accessories, paraphernalia, or otherwise branded items in my possession that indicate that.
I feel fairly confident that most people here are aware of how childish, arrogant, and honestly just downright insufferable Rick and morty “fans” can be.

It seems like every time it comes up in conversation, and the other person is a fan, they immediately seem to launch into a tirade about how modern shows are all crap because they’re stupid, not like THIS show. It’s like the “you have to have a high IQ” meme just became the unironic norm for a lot of people.
It’s usually fart jokes and lowest common denominator humor dressed up in Sci fi tropes. You aren’t special for understanding highschool introductory phycisal science.
Futurama is arguably the same kind of show, but they know exactly what they are, and the writers actually have well educated backgrounds to make the science stuff a bit less… “VX nozzle on the turboencabulator”-esque
- Comment on Instruments Of Destruction, from one of Red Faction Guerilla's demolition tech wizards, is out in 1.0 now 1 week ago:
I still haven’t finished the game because I keep having fun destroying buildings and reloading.
I had way too much fun in Armageddon just smashing the shit out of structures and rebuilding them… So I could smash them again in a different way.
- Comment on Searching for the "most representative" Star Trek episode 1 week ago:
I’m gonna have to go with “Inner Light” from TNG
It has so many typical star trek things, but it does lack a few things here and there.
It’s always my go-to when someone wants an episode recommendation to see if they’ll like the show.

- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 week ago:
The people who blabber incessantly about weed being a gateway drug are the exact REASON that I agree with them, but we VERY much disagree on the specifics.
Think of it this way:
Every adult in your life has told you that weed is JUST AS BAD as heroin and cocain and meth. You hear it repeated ad nauseum, ESPECIALLY if you were in DARE.
Now one day someone you have known for a long time offers you some because “it’s not that bad, trust me you’ll be fine” and they go ahead and take a puff or twelve. Turns out it’s not that bad. They were fine after some initial uncoordinated attempts at doing something.
So if weed is this interesting, maybe heroin isn’t that bad either?
Yeah turns out heroin IS that bad, and lumping it in with weed is like tossing the kindergarten bully into a maxsec prison.
So yeah, it’s only a “gAtEwAy dRuG” because you fucks lied for decades and made false equivalence of things and taught kids they can’t trust you.

I say this without any attempt at humor, “kill yourself peacefully before you’re unable to and the people around you refuse to”
If I knew I had a prion disease, I’d be making plans to die peacefully unaware, or suddenly, the moment a symptom shows up.
My only real firsthand experience with prion diseases is Fatal Familial Insomnia, and the person was strapped into hospital bed restraints after a suicide attempt, and the only thing they would do when they chose to speak was beg for us to let them die because they can’t keep going like this anymore.

Demon core memes are my favorite thing from NCD and literally nobody else in my life even knows what it is, let alone think they’re funny.
It’s the same with Ea-Nasir memes.
- Comment on sweet dreams 2 weeks ago:
Well at one time people “knew” that space was filled with Aether, and people knew that the universe was no more than 2 million years old.
But once you understand things more, some of the things you know turn out to be wrong.
In this case it’s more like “we called this thing a planet before we knew just how tiny it really is but it’s still cool so we now have categories for things just like it”
Which I think is neat.
You can be sad it’s not a planet, we can also be happy that it pulled one over on all of humanity for such a long time.

From my understanding of primordial black holes, if one were so close as to be in our solar system, it is very small.
Since it’s so small, it would have fizzled out through hawking radiation output a long time ago.
So yes, planet 9 is NOT a black hole that can hurt you.
Now, a pocket of warped spacetime that will one day spawn a Chaos Demon? Maybe.

Damn, every time I think I’m original or clever today, someone beats me to it.
I was just thinking of “demon core on a warhammer/shield/trebuchet (not a catapult because that’s for plebs)”
Small point of pedantry, that is a flail, not a mace. A mace is mounted directly onto a handle, flails have the flexible material between the weight and the handle.
