That’s why translation can be so hard, especially for poems, songs, comedy etc. Double meanings, metaphors, rhymes etc are often lost when translated.
- Comment on Insomnia 5 weeks ago:
I did a sleep study that was done at home. They just sent a device I clipped on my index finger, strapped around my chest and put a small tube around my nose.
It’s definitely still a little artificial, but it’s at home with no one live monitoring you. As long as you get some sleep they can use stats and all the various data to get an idea of what’s going on.

Fucking dystopian late stage capitalism… Every fact is not actually a fact cause it’s sponsored by corporate interests

He also went to a town hall meeting to encourage denying poor people from moving into his neighbourhood, because it would lower his house price…

While that’s really cool and useful, it might be the way a couple of mods interact as opposed to a specific one.
- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 2 months ago:
Prometheus is a great example of “what could have been”. Great themes, fantastic visuals, some cool ideas, but… I don’t know what the word/phrase is but the people, their motivations and actions are almost all just ridiculous.
To call it all off, they just abandon the interesting potential they set up by killing Shaw, all the engineers, and basically repeating the movie in covenant.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 months ago:
I agree. I usually do it out of curiosity though. I tend to find, in general, the reviews are on par though.
The number of times I watch something and afterwards am like “that felt kind of shit”, turns out everyone else agrees and I’m wondering why I didn’t check first to save my time.

Its interesting once you learn more about ecology and biodiversity… Those bugs / animals you used to hate are suddenly awesome.
That said, invasive wasps where I live a devastating native and endemic species so…

I thought it was “hating love/romance” or something for a second.

He already admitted that messiah kind of sucks from an adaptation standpoint. I personally agree. Maybe he’s straight up rewriting parts of it? Will be interesting to see, I trust him though Mofo can’t seem to miss
- Comment on Anon reviews a game on steam 3 months ago:
I think it’s more they love the game, but hate a specific thing that happens in an update, like their favourite character/ability gets rightfully nerfed, so they throw a tantrum by giving negative review.

I’ve seen his fabric of the the cosmos series and loved it. How does elegant universe rate?
