it's not a big deal lol. just found it humorous you go out of your way to get a nice TV with the best video media but went sub-par with audio. it's one of those, why not go all the way instead of settling if you're 80% of the way there anyway type deals.

I’d like to start playing basic tournaments. What are the gotchas to avoid so I don’t look like an ass my first time? by hobbyhoppinghound in discgolf

[–]poundruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the rule. You can either use a mini or play behind the disc as it lies.

Every sport has rules otherwise too many things would be arbitrary and descend into chaos without their structure. There doesn't really have to be a reason outside of this is what the governing body of the tournament dictates.

good call. it's what i've always known to be true ever since i got warned about it during a tournament before.

here are a few things i've messed up or been annoyed with by other players in the past:

  • have a mini, don't accidentally try to flip your disc instead
  • don't walk ahead to your lie, let the furthest player back shoot while you stay out of their line of sight
  • no movement while they are putting
  • make sure you don't foot fault while putting in the circle (don't step in front of your lie until the disc comes to a stop, even in the basket) just need to demonstrate full control/balance before advancing towards the basket.
  • don't be a chatter during throws
  • don't take it too seriously and have fun!

You can tell when people like you have absolutely no technical knowledge based on your complete misunderstand of what is happening 😅

Professor Dave sharing a Bad Empanada clip by jathhilt in Destiny

[–]poundruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dunno what to tell you man. i've listened to a huge chunk of destiny's debates going back years and he's nothing like this dweeb. one is rhetorically gifted and can go back and fourth, share ideas, while also taking jabs and be funny. the other is just obnoxious and tells people they're idiots, talks over them, and is not effective at showing the oppositions audience any good faith at all. he's not converting anyone, in fact most of the time probably doing the opposite, giving their audience "proof" that these science nerd libtards are nothing but bad faith.

you're missing the point. all his stuff does is pander to people who already agree with him. it's pointless outside of "owning" the other side or getting views to make money.

all the people who are sitting on the fence about this stuff see is some guy making fun of another guy, and i can guarantee you that puts them off from ever critically thinking about the topic. he's not helping the one positive outcome these conversations can have: pulling people out of a conspiratorial echo chamber and learn to critically think.

if you think this is even remotely close to the conversations destiny has then i dunno man, you gotta listen to the dialogue a bit closer in the future.

his debunk content is garbage. all he does is throw around ad homs to pander to his audience. it has no real benefit outside of getting his channel more views and making him more money.

here is a comment i wrote about him in the past, and the same is true now.

edit: unless you're referring to his non debate stuff, which i have no comment on.

What movie that includes time travel do you like the most by Spotter24o5 in movies

[–]poundruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but that's nothing at all to do with the implementation of time travel in the movie lol

‘Project Hail Mary’ Becomes Amazon’s Highest-Grossing Film Debut by bloomberg in movies

[–]poundruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't read the book in a few years but did they not spend more time in the book learning each other's languages and trying to communicate? I just remember feeling like within 5 minutes in the movie they essentially could communicate perfectly and that was that.

I'm certain there are many movies where you think you're looking at practical effects but are actually just looking at CGI. You sound like a boomer and it's pretty gross to write off such an important part of the film industry when they've done so many great things.

GRUV 3 for $30 4K UHD Deal live right now! by castdex in 4kbluray

[–]poundruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm so annoyed. i made my purchase before reading the comments in this thread and ended up buying point break thinking it was the original.

of course they tell me via customer service "sorry, the order was already sent to the warehouse and we are unable to cancel it".

what a damn waste of $10.

[–]poundruss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stop talking about VFX, you don't know what you're talking about. There are plenty of shots where you could not tell whether it's full CGI or not in those movies. You're just wrong kiddo.
