- Comment on The Walking Dead, The Expanse and more in the Telltale Collection Humble Bundle 6 days ago:
I loved the Walking Dead series
- Comment on Blue 1 week ago:
Weirdly it’s much more clearly BLUE when read in reverse, whereas forwards it looked more like BULB
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 1 week ago:
Neither, just wild speculation for the hell of it
- Comment on Hidden razor blades 1 week ago:
How is the consumer meant to know if they’ve rusted in their packaging?
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 1 week ago:
I don’t think they’d do much better besides being safer, eventually. Just saying that’s the only place where they’d make sense to go.
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 1 week ago:
Inner cities are better served by trolleys/buses anyhow. Self-driving taxis would work best at the edges of a city, or to fill gaps between train stations in suburbs
- Comment on ‘Star Wars’: Simon Kinberg to Write, Produce New Trilogy for Lucasfilm 2 weeks ago:
At least it’s grassy plains instead of a desert
- Comment on Robert Zemeckis wants to make another Back to the Future movie (with a twist) 2 weeks ago:
Joker 2 was also pretty much explicitly a “fuck you, we don’t need a sequel” of a movie
- Comment on New Godzilla Movie in the Works from 'Godzilla Minus One' Director 2 weeks ago:
Shin Godzilla. Go in blind.
- Comment on New Godzilla Movie in the Works from 'Godzilla Minus One' Director 2 weeks ago:
The American Godzilla movies are hit and miss, but the last two Japanese Godzilla movies fucking slapped.
- Comment on Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series? 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, I misread your previous comment. For some reason I was thinking you didn’t like the blu-rays because of the remastered effects.
Sorry for the awkwardness, 100% my bad
- Comment on Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series? 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t the blu-ray set include both the remastered effects and the original effects? Last I looked it did.
- Comment on The original Facebook was something we’ll never get back 4 weeks ago:
Hey, don’t be sexist. There’s plenty of otherwise-tech-illiterate ditsy dudes in the same work pool.
- Comment on The original Facebook was something we’ll never get back 4 weeks ago:
My feed is aware of my politics and throws everyone I’m friends with or follow (and some who I’ve unfollowed) who wrote something objectively wrong or stupid that’s biased the other way politically.
It’s literally all rage bait unless I go in and manually block it from showing me those people at all.
- Comment on What do you call your first cousin's child? 4 weeks ago:
Ah, you’re completely right.
If that person had a kid it’d be your third cousin, but since that person is OP’s parents’ second cousin, they are OP’s second cousin once removed.
- Comment on What do you call your first cousin's child? 4 weeks ago:
For example, my great grandfather’s sister’s grandson was on the USS Thresher when it imploded. What would his relation be to me?
So your first common ancestors are your great great grandparents, so that’s third cousin, and they’re a generation older than you, so once removed. Third cousin once removed.
On that note, what do you call your grandparent’s sibling, vs your great grandparent’s sibling, and so on? Again, Google isn’t being very helpful here.
Grandparents’ siblings are you great aunts/great uncles, additional generations back you add more greats, so great grandparents’ siblings are your great great aunt/uncle. After a while people say “twice great” etc
- Comment on Live-Action ‘View-Master’ Movie, Based on 3D Image Toy From Mattel, in the Works 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but Rubber was excellent. It’s really a problem of creatively bankrupt giant studios pumping out formulaic dreck.
- Comment on Live-Action ‘View-Master’ Movie, Based on 3D Image Toy From Mattel, in the Works 5 weeks ago:
Just because Barbie and Transformers worked doesn’t mean every old toy needs a movie

This dude’s videos impress me to no end
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’d argue the biggest change was last year. Because of the banning/restrictions of sulfuric emissions from ships trading in the Pacific, a huge quantity of smog was cleared from the atmosphere. Unfortunately for all of us, that smog had been reflecting some sunlight and depressing the effects of climate change in the short term. While those sulfur-based emissions clear out of our atmosphere in as little as 2-3 weeks, carbon emissions take centuries to fully clear out of the atmosphere.
In other words, we had been unintentionally geoengineering the climate to be slightly cooler before 2023. That’s why it was such a huge jump in temperature last year and has no signs of reversing course. The good news about this is that it means that we can geoengineer our climate to be cooler in the short term in order to prevent greater catastrophe because we already were. The bad news is that we likely will have to.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition’ Screening, Show Memorabilia Auction Set To Cap Off Infinity Festival 1 month ago:
I also found Beyond to be very Trek. Certainly the most Trek feeling of the newer movies.

Did what I say remind you of him? I thought he was primarily famous for abusive language.
- Comment on Sam Raimi to direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' 1 month ago:
Right? Maybe make up for Evil Dead 2’s lack of acknowlegement
- Comment on Sam Raimi to direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' 1 month ago:
For sure. I just love how great he is at the possessed hand bit.
- Comment on "incel" 1 month ago:
Respect is earned, never demanded.
You can make others fear you with force, but if they do they’ll never properly respect you.
Talking in oblique metaphors like thr way you did to the person you banned won’t help them learn from their mistake either.
- Comment on Sam Raimi to direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' 1 month ago:
Agreed. Sam Raimi is perhaps the most consistently good comic book film director. He just gets the campy tone.
Also that Bruce Campbell cameo was🤌
- Comment on Empires fall 1 month ago:
TIL, thanks!
- Comment on Empires fall 1 month ago:
It’s a Circuit City.
I bought my first PC’s parts all from TigerDirect’s website. Did a bunch of my research for it using their catalogue.
Nowadays I’m just happy to live an hour from a Microcenter.
- Comment on Agatha All Along, the only marvel show I'll probably give a try this year 1 month ago:
I like this show so far.
Gotta say though, if you skipped X-Men '97, you missed out. That show was amazing.

Is that Reinhard Von Musel?
