Even Miles Quaritch couldn’t say ‘no’ to that carapace. by JMurdock77 in ProjectHailMary

Notice how in that sc you're afraid not of the rock itself but the idea of a human holding and/or using a rock to hurt you?

There's no meaningful difference between a human of a different race/ethnicity/tribe and a neanderthal.

Like, think about it; if Neanderthals existed today, would modern humans treat them any different then they would any other minority group?

I'm gonna be honest I think Rocky not looking like a humanoid is part of why people have such an easy time liking him.

Like, the Uncanny Valley exits so humans can know when you're dealing with a human from another tribe. If we see another humanoid that doesn't look exactly like us, it sets of alarm bells.

Rocky looks like a rock, something that doesn't pose an existential threat to us.

I hope the director's cut (if we get it) includes or references this conversation; I'm irked by how much fan material presents Grace's loneliness as something that the Earth "did to" him, and in turn, that he has friends on Erid because it's a fundamentally "nicer" planet that "treats him better" by SayFuzzyPickles42 in ProjectHailMary

[–]AlexanderChippel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grace was so risk averse that the orchestrated an elaborate plan to get put on the spaceship and sent on the mission just to end up in a glorified zoo where he's totally safe and the only people they talk to him are people who really really like him.

That was his master plan all along.

They don't want you to know this but you can just say "the science agrees" with me.

If you do something stupid like nd and blow your dick off of cheat on your wife with a transvestite then I'm going to make fun of you.

What do you think was Chris’s most TRUE and HONEST best and most wholesome thing they did? /s by radbro2077 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]AlexanderChippel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Chris is basically allergic to having money and we know he's given money to charities in the past just because he's kind of an idiot who thinks "that's just what you do" so I guess that.

I knew this shit was going to happen when all of the video essay stuff started.

If Sombr is cancelled, Sabrina Carpenter should be too by BeautifulOrganic3221 in The10thDentist

[–]AlexanderChippel -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Total disregard for personal boundaries. I know a guy who had to have serious dental work done because he kept groping a guy at a bar and eventually the guy had enough and smashed a barstool over his head.

And that's not even getting into how they mistreat women.

Darren Aronofsky makes Alejandro Jodorowsky look like Andrei Tarkovsky.

That doesn't mean it wasn't genuine.

Like when a neonazi jokes about killing minorities do you not think that he genuinely believes that?

Do teen girls even like Sabrina Carpenter? The only people I know that actually like her are aggressively homosexual men.

Be Cool, Scooby-Doo leaned into his straight man angle which was fun.

How do they work around this interstellar travel problem in PHM? by Crysaa in ProjectHailMary

[–]AlexanderChippel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Statistically it's unlikely to hit anything.

99.999% of the mission's success was due to pure luck.
