  Just FYI they weren’t testing Paul to see if he is an abomination. They are testing to see if he is a human (self control) or a animal.

  His sister is an abomination as she has access to the genetic memories like a reverend mother but without a formed personality being a child. It’s why the Baron is able to possess her.

  But yeah Paul was a child playing god. Leto II was a god. Being a abomination did make it possible for him in a way Paul couldn’t achieve.

  You must remember that I have at my internal demand every expertise known to our history. This is the fund of energy I draw upon when I address the mentality of war. If you have not heard the moaning cries of the wounded and the dying, you do not know about war. I have heard those cries in such numbers that they haunt me. I have cried out myself in the aftermath of battle. I have suffered wounds in every epoch - wounds from fist and club and rock, from shell-studded limb and bronze sword, from the mace and the cannon, from arrows and lasguns and the silent smothering of atomic dust, from biological invasions which blacken the tongue and drown the lungs, from the swift gush of flame and the silent working of slow poisons… and more I will not recount! I have seen and felt them all. To those who dare ask why I behave as I do, I say: with my memories, I can do nothing else. I am not a coward and once I was human.

  He’s been doing some interesting low budget stuff on the side. Synchronic, Io, a bunch of others I haven’t seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The DS9 writers would sometimes write a script that they knew would be approved and then give the actors “suggested improvised lines” for what they actually wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always took his reluctance being about the report he was going to have to make about the incident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the problem isn’t the ideals being in there but how bad the story is makes the ideals seem like a cheap crutch.

  Compare Brokeback Mountain to Ben and Arthur. Both movies about the relationship between gay men and society. Both say gay people should be treated fairly by socity but aren’t. The first does it in interesting way with great storytelling and ideas. The later is a hamfisted mess.

  I’m not going to say modern Trek is Ben and Arthur bad but it is much closer to Ben and Arthur writing then it is to Brokeback Mountain.

  Having dealt with Sony for years as a engineer their non consumer hardware is a true pain. Trying to interface with some of their ccd image sensors was some of the most PITA integration i’ve ever dealt with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do shares work? How does musk control twitter if he only owns 9% of the shares?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your right. I thought the shares had be dissolved but they have not it’s just a privately traded company now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do shares work? How does musk control twitter if he only owns 9% of the shares?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So Musk owns twitter so there is no stock anymore. He does have loans for the purchase which are probably backed by his twitter ownership and his Tesla stock.

  However there is another way to not have majority ownership and still have majority voting power. Google has class A and class B shares. Each class A share gets 10 votes and class B shares get 1 vote.

  Only the founders of Google got class A shares and if they are transferred to anyone but another founder they revert to class B shares. So they have a minority ownership and a majority vote.

  I like musicals and still think it was pretty bad. It’s a jukebox musical which are usually bad anyway.

  Almost none of the songs move the story forward. Most of them are just we are in love numbers. You get one maybe two of those a musical.

  Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor and a terrible singer. Lady Gaga is a good singer and terrible actor. So every scene with them both has one of them doing a bad job.

  Pills in blister packs instead of a bottle also reduces suicides. Just having to open a bunch of pill blisters instead of downing a bottle makes a noticeable difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any recommendations for casual games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be. Lower difficulty and phoebe chillax as the storyteller. I highly recommend modding the game. Both the common QOL mods and tweaks to what you don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any recommendations for casual games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah mid game the cpu load gets bad. Some tips.

  Cleaning up debris into piles to simplify physics calculations.

  Removing gasses you don’t need that are floating around the map.

  Walling off sections of the map with only one door to simplify path planning.

  Killing off or consolidating the wild creatures.

  Setting dups (like cooks) that don’t need to leave your base to not be able to leave.

  I didn’t. At first I though you were talking about Doctor Who. Then I looked it up and saw he did Quatermass as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Quatermass Xperiment': Britain's most influential sci-fi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a solid series. Kind of Doctor Who without the Doctor.

  Alienoid. Korean sci fi about aliens who put their prisoners in human bodies and the time traveling robot wardens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TNG season 3. The first two sessions are pretty rough. Start with 3. If you ever do a rewatch then try starting with season 1. Then try DS9.

  TOS is good if you can handle the very low budget look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨burden of knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They keep growing until they die. If they live long enough they get so big they either can’t get enough food or oxygen and die.

  They have urinary ducts in their eyes and when they meet other lobsters they piss on each others face. If they have fought in the last week or so the loser backs down. If not they fight.

  The biggest male lobster knows where the others live and once a week visits the other lobsters. Pisses in their face and then beats them up.

  When a female enters estrus she goes to the biggest lobster’s den. He then beats her to help her molt. When her shell is removed they mate.

  She is allowed to stay for a few days during the vulnerable period when her shell regrows and hardens. Unless another female comes by. The he kicks her out and the new girl moves in after mating.

  Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.

  The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.
