Tears of the Kingdom, so if you’ll excuse me I have to go build a wacky contraption.
- Comment on Was Pedro Pascal objectively "in everything"? 1 day ago:
Pedro Pascal is popular due to his roles in successful and popular shows and because of his public stances on social issues. Movie producers want to put him in stuff because he’s popular so more people will watch.

And no.
- Comment on Subtitles 3 days ago:
How is it unfair to them if it’s not putting them at a disadvantage compared to the average person?
- Comment on Subtitles 4 days ago:
It’s the director’s intention that the audience not understand what is being said, probably to align with the main character in the situation. It’s no less fair to bilingual deaf people than it is to anyone else who can’t understand whatever language is being spoken.
- Comment on Why didn't Luigi ManGioni go to trial? Why not get a better deal knowing the prosecution would have to pony up some serious plea bargain? 4 days ago:
This is the rub right here. It’s a bellwether of how society is going when people start shooting each other over these kinds of things, knowing that they’ll likely be caught and punished.
Unpopular opinion but I’m not upset about a guilty verdict/plea. It’s murder at the end of the day. But I’m also absolutely not upset about the victim. It kinda just is what it is morally for me.
- Comment on Why didn't Luigi ManGioni go to trial? Why not get a better deal knowing the prosecution would have to pony up some serious plea bargain? 5 days ago:
Jury selection for a trial like this is a very rigorous process. The prosecution and defense teams have to agree on jurors. They would do their best to find jurors who would rule on the facts of the case and not on the emotions surrounding it.

The audience is not supposed to know what’s being said.
- Comment on onions 1 week ago:
If you don’t like onions you should try cooking them in butter on low heat for 30-45 minutes until they’re a deep amber and mixing them with sour cream, a bit of mayo, salt and pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boom, caramelized onion dip.
- Comment on [drugs] what does LSD feel like? 1 week ago:
Your mileage may vary. I’ve had extremely positive experiences with LSD and other psychedelics. It comes down to a lot of factors including the drug, your mindset and setting, and your individual biology.
How do you handle weed? Do you have a predisposition to schizophrenia or other mental illness? Are you a generally anxious person?
Personally I’d recommend a low dose of mushrooms first before trying other psychedelics, but at the end of the day they’re not for everyone and it’s a question you’ll have to answer for yourself.
- Comment on How com the ad industry make so much money? 1 week ago:
And it’s probably not even true that ads don’t work on OP. Everyone likes to think they’re built different.

- Comment on Whats the point of the 2nd amendment 1 week ago:
Tommy guns were invented in 1918 and used widely in organized crime in the 20s. I bet that had a lot to do with it.
- Comment on Whats the point of the 2nd amendment 1 week ago:
Excellent comment, but gatling guns weren’t invented until the 1860s.
- Comment on Good ole review 1 week ago:
(you can like any media for any reason, it doesn’t have to be “good” in any conventional sense or pass any kind of metric or purity test)
- Comment on This is the chore that never ends 1 week ago:
Life is just one big, long, futile fight against the ever-increasing entropy of an inevitably doomed universe and we can only hope to carve out some sort of fleeting happiness and meaning in our short lives.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 1 week ago:
Why? Everyone’s handwriting is different and unique whether it’s cursive or regular script.
- Comment on is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions? 2 weeks ago:
Radians are not at all intuitive.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 2 weeks ago:
The scariest part of this question is that we would have no way of truly knowing.

- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
But isn’t that the point? The Jedi’s hubris was a large part of their downfall and the old Order needed to be done away with.
“You’re not the last of the old Jedi, Luke. You’re the first of the new.”
- Comment on Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)? 2 weeks ago:
Settle down.
- Comment on Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)? 2 weeks ago:
Option 2. Much easier to get set for life.
Besides, magic already exists. We just know how it works now.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re still looking at the Force like it’s a traditional dualistic phenomenon like we’re used to in real-world philosophy, like yin and yang, there can be no light without darkness, etc. But the sides of the Force don’t work that way despite their “light” and “dark” descriptors. The light side is the natural and balanced state. The dark side is an aberration.

- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
That was a Jedi problem, not a light side problem.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
“Balance” when it comes to the Force doesn’t mean equal number of Jedi and Sith or equal amount of light side and dark side. That’s like saying balance is an equal number of non-cancer cells and cancer cells in a body.
The dark side is imbalance, it must be removed for balance.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
Light side = balance
Dark side = imbalance
Sith = dark side. Must get rid of Sith for balance.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
That’s not what balance means for the Force.
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
The presence of the dark side/Sith is imbalance. The light side is balance.
