There’s a reason why some scientists are field researchers and some are lab rats.
Some times, scientists can really be stupid. More so when they’re in high stress uncontrolled environments.

T1 we get man vs unstoppable killing machine.
T2 we get man (and much more stoppable killing machine) vs unstoppable killing machine and have to grapple with the idea of using weapons expressly intended to wipe out the human race against the threats that will wipe out the human race.
I won’t pretend like most sequels aren’t “would you like some more of that?” but we can all agree that if you checked into a hotel and T2 was on the TV, you’d leave it running instead of channel surfing.

Poor kid’s security questions are getting leaked before he’s even got a chance to ruin his own credit, dang.
- Comment on I despise laundry. How can I make my life contain less of it? 2 weeks ago:
Running a modern half full dishwasher is more efficient on water than washing a single pan by hand.
The old rules were in place because old stuff wasn’t as efficient. It used to be less resource heavy to fill a single sink and wash all your dishes with that.

Look, I could shit out a more inspiring speech after a night of heavy drinking. The fact that he repeated parts of it tells me he thinks it’s clever… Which, although I didn’t think it possible, does make me somehow think less of him.
How is it possible to be not just demoralized but also negatively inspiring?

Hate to tell you but the Gulf war was going on before you were fourteen.

It presents possibilities. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people shut down a listing based on the current color… Changing it from puke green to… Anything else is apparently more work than changing from gray to anything.
I’m obviously washing over needing to reprime the walls depending on the color and quality of paint but it’s not just white people. White is too sterile but gray strikes the right balance. Same with staging furniture. Sets too many expectations for people sometimes.
- Comment on Anon identifies a trope 2 weeks ago:
Less of a villain decay but also perspective - Arnold was the most iconic part of Terminator and so the writers found a logical way to retcon the actor to continue playing the role.
In universe, John is exposed to the T800 as a hero but his mom only knows him as a killing machine. These characters have to grapple with the role reversal in story. In Saw no one (that I recall) ever said “Wait, isn’t this guy just an asshole?”
- Comment on Chosen one 2 weeks ago:
My ex said I’m a Disney Princess when it comes to animals. Their dog and cats love me, stray cats hang out in my backyard, current partners cat sleeps on me every night. Heck, I caught the neighbor’s cat sneaking into my garage this week!
I used to have two rats, a cat, and a dog and they’d all sleep on me at night.

I had a boss who turned off read receipts and one time didn’t get my text to which she said “why didn’t you resend it?” and my reply was “because I didn’t know you didn’t get it.”
- Comment on Hard Out There For A Woman 3 weeks ago:
I was going to make a smart comment, something along the lines of “By birth or by nationalization?” but the more I thought about what would make a person “Mexican” the more I thought about how silly a concept most things are and how I’m willing to bet there’s probably a Chinese-Swede somewhere writing a novela.
- Comment on Why so many Steam games have weirdly similar (and forgettable) names 3 weeks ago:
Wild Hearts and Sayonara Wild Hearts are not in the same series. Tales of Zau is not a part of the Tales of Series. Just look at how many games are Z something or something Z.
Why bother with reinventing the title wheel when you can just hope that you’ll have a subset of buyers that purchase expecting a different level of quality?

It’s a Ukrainian War meme, along with cope cages and the like - basically they put ERA on everything and anything.
In this case, the anime girl takes umbrage with that.

- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 1 month ago:
So, while the little RTX 5060 can churn out a 258 fps result in NBA 2K27 at 1080p Ultra settings with ray tracing and DLSS 5 enabled, the game underneath will actually be running at around 43 fps.
Lol. Nvidia with the toilet paper math. “You’re only getting 6 frames but it’s actually 11 billion frames.”
Like, I’m playing Bully. Render the locked 30, barely consume any power and shut up. “Run your computer at full tilt all the time so your games can run like shit!” I cannot stand any frame gen. Makes games look like static.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 month ago:
The Spanish is a bit easier since it literally translates to “Zone Free of…” followed by a list of things it’s a zone free from but I agree, since a “drug free zone” and a “gun free zone” mean that there is, ideally according to the sign, no drugs or guns but a “weapons free zone” would mean you’re free to shoot combatants on sight, whereas a “weapon free zone” would mean an area without weapons.

I doubt they would ever need to draft up to 42 based on the US population and the willingness of psychos to want to a) kill people or b) get paid to kill people via promises of a better life later as a veteran (Baby killer)
They need a draft once all those Action Hero wannabes get swatted down by Iranian drones and the Canadian troops start rolling in to annex the southern province.
Who knew Fallout would be right about the annexation but wrong about which way it went?
