You convinced me Breaking Bad is perfect

Of course the story didn’t have to happen in any specific way. It’s a fictional story. It can be written in anyway. Doesn’t even have to be realistic
Walt could have had to make a rocket so he could transport meth to the moon because Tuco is on a moon base and really wants some.
From my 2.5ish season watching experience, Pinkmen was the only character I enjoyed from the show. I’m not saying that I hated his character or acting. But the premise that Walt was with Pinkman to begin with. The whole show hinges on that idea and Pinkman becomes more and more important to the show.
Breaking Bad doesn’t have many “likable” characters but it is a basic story about the characters.
A story with an amazing plot would still be good with subpar actors. Breaking Bad with worse actors would be totally insufferable.

You want a more plausible storyline than anything else? You like Breaking Bad because the storyline is realistic?
A smart guy infiltrating the DEA and using their information in a cat and mouse game sounds interesting to me
It’s a fictional story

“The story happened that way so that’s the only way it could have happened”
Walter was a high school science teacher with no friends, how would he have gone about looking for someone to sell meth for him?
Once again everything is stacked against Walt. Always another road block. Episode after episode.
They had to give him a complete dipshit to work with because a semi-competent person he knew would have been a “boring” story.
Maybe show interest in the DEA and ride around with his brother-in-law to secretly collect intel. Ends up getting a job for the DEA but basically an inside guy.
Let me go find the drop out high school student I knew and cook meth in an RV. Is definitely not a thing an intelligent person would choose to do. Sure if they are forced to like in the story, but that doesn’t make it right or enjoyable.

You’re telling me that it is a requirement to be a Complete Dipshit to have underground connections?
I get that is how the show sold it and I guess you believed it
There’s just no way for Walt to become Heizenberg without Complete Dipshit
Let’s just ignore the fact that the writer planned the Complete Dipshit to die a handful of episodes into the series
Again, EVERYTHING in the show is designed to make cooking/distributing meth challenging. They had to make Complete Dipshit useful because he “had” to be in the story.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 4 days ago:
That was my problem with the show too.
Smart person decides to cook meth…
Step 1: Partner with complete dipshit
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit
It’s not hard to cook meth especially if you have a science background.
EVERYTHING in the show is there to make cooking meth harder because if it wasn’t hard it would be a completely boring story.

The sun is round, the moon is round, the stars are round
Biconvex vs Globe should be the original argument. Disc vs Ball.
Do flat earthers think of sharp edged biconvex earth? Like that would have had to be the case if you could sail off it.
Do they think that it’s like a Minecraft world where they could see the dirt under the grass at the edge?
Humans had to explore the globe W-E or E-W. No practical way early to cross a frozen tundra and then sail going N-S or S-N.
We would have found out a lot quicker in human history if the polar caps didn’t exist.
“Go around” round. It is almost like it is intuitive that the earth is round.
What’s happening at the edge is what is the argument. Everyone knows where they are standing is flat. (Which I think is your point)
You’d have to come up with a plausible explanation of what could happen. Like “You’d sail off into a void”
Yet a globe has no edges and doesn’t need a plausible explanation about a weird edge of the earth.
It should have aways rested that you had to prove the earth wasn’t a ball.

My favorite thing is “We wouldn’t have had the technology to go to the moon in 1969”
So Apollo 12 (1969) 14 (1971) 15 (1971) 16 (1972) 17 (1972)
Were all fake too?
So we faked the first moon landing and then proceeded to fake 5 more moon landings in 3 years?
That sounds real smart

Do you know what relativity means? You keep saying it
A 6 or 7 year old child is ~120cm
Average person 160cm to 170cm
Relatively, a 3:4 ratio
For a tall person at 200cm (6’6") that would be the same as 150cm
Average woman is 160cm
Yes a 200cm person standing next to a 150cm person looks like an adult standing next to a child height wise. Yet to them a 150cm person is much taller than 120cm. 1 foot difference.
Why does your mind jump to “they look like they are with a child?”

- Comment on Soda pop 1 month ago:
It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.
You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.
Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

Torso and appendages
Head/neck being an appendage is arguable. But basically because there are better words to describe it, not because it isn’t one.
Axial and appendicular

I’d recommend one of [these](fanttik.com/…/fanttik-b10-pro-electric-air-duster…
A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.
You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car

It’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.

You’re assuming people who are forced to buy into the suburban hell have a choice.
If a person had a choice between a 100k house in a suburban hell or a 100k house in secluded heaven. That they pick the suburban hell.
Have you seen the housing market in the US?
It’s also funny how “Suburban” meaning has changed. It’s supposed to be non-urban.
But with these “suburban” neighborhoods in cities. It has basically became a word for a neighborhood with houses built next to each other and less about where it’s located.
Suburbs use to be an inexpensive option as opposed to urban living.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 7 months ago:
Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 7 months ago:
I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
