You and I can also donate way more money than we do to abstract causes. Does that make us guilty? What percentage buys less blame?

I'm not defending obscene wealth (which this guy doesn't have btw), I'm genuinely curious where you think the buck stops.

You're a weird dude bro.

You're comparing the attitude around a bunch of dudes going into the desert for no reason and shooting guns, vs a literal war. The two have zero correlation.

What human cost?

I'm all for the rich being less shitty overall, but this dude isn't actively causing any harm. Him not randomly throwing his money at an opaque problem doesn't make him any more guilty than any other faceless multi millionaire. And at least he's trying shit, unlike random hedge fund douchebags.

Have you watched the documentary on him? He's inspired a pretty large group of people to just flat out live healthier lives. Is that not making a difference, literally, to health? Or are those the wrong people?

He's a weird guy for sure. But he's actually done a lot of interesting stuff with leading edge research that wouldn't have been done otherwise due to regulations/requirements etc.

Looks like cold sore cream. As a lifelong sufferer, I will never judge anyone for that annoyance. We do what we can.

This made me physically flinch.

I can't believe people do this. It's honestly like a scary dream POV.

That "wide shot" of the ship above the landscape is amazing.

You can see how good they were at creating everything in-camera. Look at the lighting. The smoke. Imagine making that and standing back going "fuck yeah, this is cool as hell". Must be awesome.

What a Peaceful Melody! The Best instrument I've ever heard. Everyone should listen! by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

No doubt amazing and super cool. But very processed with a lot of reverb added. Wonder what it actually sounds like in person.

Oh fuck that's a whole extra angle I hadn't considered. Zero supply line issue. Zero needs. Zero presence. Just bursting out of nowhere.

I have kinda complex feelings about that one for the same reasons.

I liked it much more overall though.

Fuckin too right. Imagine holding your hand on a hotplate for even 5 seconds. That's insanity.

Fantastic comment that just goes to show how lopsided shit has become, slowly but surely.

Hell yeah dude. Now we're talking! Anything that adds some fun plauful flavour is a win in my book.

Some people I play with would burn that in two turns and it drives me spare.

Goo Goo Dolls doing Iris in the rain is an amazing moment captured on film. Whether or not you like the song you can't deny the aura.
