Hide a bin ladin or demon core in there and you’re good to go
What, a giant battle gets built up for years and years, with a supposedly terrifying leader, all to get summarily chopped up inside of two hours and ruin the entire story country?
Hanlon’s Razor and all that, but I just assume that’s to drive up interaction in the post.
Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:
By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong (“life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about”) you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can’t help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren’t sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the bitch fights such comments produce.
The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.
My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the “common sense says otherwise” one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It’s such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.
As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.
And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.
Of course you have absolutely no way to know this, but comparing it to a murdered puppy is just about the worst thing to do today of all days, so that is just about as unappealing as it could possibly be to me. (family pet was put down and the person who took her to the vet didn’t tell anyone else it was happening today)
The only other episode, I think, that could top the emotional feels for me anyway, is the episode in S05E06, The Shrine.
Losing my memory and intellect is a huge fear of mine, and my grandfather was starting to show signs of alzheimers for years before he died. So not only is it stabbing at a fear of mine, it also pokes that “it’s someone YOU’VE SEEN BEFORE so it’s RELATABLE” feeling.
I like to think of myself as kind of like McKay. Even the arrogance, unfortunately, although I like to think I improved upon that since my 20s… Maybe nowhere near as smart, obviously, but the personality traits and such. And his difficulties he has getting close to people, the emotions he conveys when talking to/about Dr. Keller, it’s just all a big woefully well woven tapestry of perfectly crafted shit storm that doesn’t just on my heartstrings. It straight up snaps them.
“my name is MISTER Rodney McKay”
“come on, You’re DOCTOR Rodney McKay. Remember?”
“No, I’m not anymore… I’m not smart anymore and doctors are smart… I’m mister now.”
I can’t even make it to the opening theme.
I told my wife when we get to “a certain episode”, I’m gonna go do something else. She has to watch it because it’s an important episode, but I can’t watch it with her.
I can semi watch shows I have seen before while at work (can’t focus on a new show, but if I already know what’s going on it’s nice to have going) and when I got to this episode, I had to skip it.
I knew there was no way I could keep it together that day, not with that episode.
I can’t even imagine the guilt Rodney must have felt daily.
“I should’ve just gone fishing with him…”
I worked at a sporting goods store that sold guns and athletic apparel during the Colin Kaepernick/Nike deal, and the amount of people coming in to BUY Nike clothing and some ammo to shoot it with…
I wonder if it ever clicked for any of them that they’re still buying Nike and more importantly, they’re giving free advertising every time they upload a video to facebook to show all their buddies how they owned the libs today.
Honestly I have no idea.
And its not just my immediate family either.
When my grandfather died, nobody in my family had been told he was having anything done until that morning, so we scrambled to visit him. There wasn’t any huge problem, but any time someone in their 70s is in the hospital, especially for a surgery, it’s cause for concern.
And its a good thing we did because he bled out during the surgery, which was supposed to be a minor surgery in his lower abdomen.
I found out my mother had HEART SURGERY two weeks ago when my sister sent a weird “she’s out of the operating room and I recovery” message, I thought she meant her mother in law and was informing my parents on the family group text, since my parents know her a lot better than I do.
Nope. It was my own mother, and nobody told me about a surgery they all knew about 6 months in advance.
Oh hey, maybe now the problem will be taken seriously.
There is a federation standard for which way is “up” based on the plane of the galaxy.
So at least that explains why Federation ships always meet on “level ground”
as for why the romulans, klingon, and various other non federation, especially non friendly species from the other quadrants, would be oriented the same way?
Idk, maybe the progenitor race from that one single episode of tng that never showed up or was spoken of again made some kind of subliminal or genetic memories of which way up should be.
I was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”
This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.
Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.
JUST
DO IT
Hell, make it 100%.
All countries
100% import taxes on all ICE
Make people demand EVs
Motivate countries to produce in-country.
Well, depending on who you ask, a protest from a westerner is invalid simply because it’s a westerner.
Doesn’t even matter if it’s supporting a “non-westerner” cause, because then you’re just another colonizing westerner appropriating something you couldn’t possibly undertand. Regardless of your actual understanding, of course.
I really don’t know what the OP comment is even trying to say, it just comes off as weirdly confrontational.
NCD is leaking again…
Not that I mind.
Lol ain’t that the truth.
But I also don’t do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!
I actually like doing this.
I don’t like smoking usually, but when I do, any additional flavors like lighters just make it worse.
Not really all that useful when I want to smoke at night though…
What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I’m not “certified”?
And if you take a hit to performance (you will) you might get fired! And then all that was for nothing.
Honestly I think if that happened to me I’d fire the building. From existence.
It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.
So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.
I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.
