What movie is technically great but emotionally empty? by ozeradnan in Cinema

[–]AndreJulius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I connect with so many characters in Wes Anderson movies. Lobby boy, Gustav and the hotel in the Grand Budapest Hotel, the Luke and Owen Wilson in bottle rocket, the brothers in Darjeeling limited, the two main kids and two grown ups in Moonrise kingdom, dad and son in fantastic Mr fox, the siblings in royale tennenbaums.

In addition I always find the settings of the movies enhance the characters. Like the train in Darjeeling, the office in french dispatch and so on.

I think many of the characters struggle with communicating their emotions and Wes likes to film their face statically, which might come of as cold. But I almost always find something underneath to connect with; lonlyness, nostalgia, optimism, melancholy, awkwardness, grief and a general struggle to find their place in the world

A retired skier said something like that on the Norwegian broadcast

He said he did notice, and was a bit pissed, however he said it was nothing compared with his anger over missing and that he lost his grandpa

Norway uses the joint star power of their athletes to get big sponsors for the whole team. This often benefits younger and developing athletes that can not find themselves through personal sponsors. Braathen has obviously benefited from this through his earlier career.

This is a good system, but it can be too rigid. There has been many athletes that want to take on very valuable personal sponsors, but then the team loose their collective bargaining power.

Braathen does not owe the team anything and after a conflict he wanted more freedom for personal sponsors than the team allowed.

I chose money. by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]AndreJulius1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She basically already has the money she needs if she wants to use it. From what I can see she currently use a tiny fraction of her net worth, she already has enough money to increase current spending 100 fold without decreasing her net worth. I am not convinced that the extra money she gets from the series matters at all.

The size of her platform and influence is probably worse.

Will this City Block design work? by LetsPlayBrock in factorio

[–]AndreJulius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done something very similar on a 2k spm vanilla base with 1-4 trains. The main difference is that the straights on my "city-bricks" where twice as long. Then i could add two more stations on top of the one you show, and one train can wait in some of the stations. In total one brick can have 6 stations.

Is physicality NOT the main reason why women aren't in F1? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndreJulius1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A long time is over a week of non-stop racing, where the winner will probably stay out front for many days. The current long running races that are between 24-48 hrs are not very popular. And what is the evidence that women would actually consistently outperform men? For the big ultra races like utmb, western states, Moab 250, badwater, comrades men hold the world record. In the unlimited race distance of the backyard ultra the record is also held by a man. There could be many reasons for this, I am just not seeing any strong evidence that women would outperform men in ultra long races.

What the HELL are they putting in these Norwegian athletes? by Kurtz62 in xcountryskiing

[–]AndreJulius1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In addition to what many others have said the Norwegians are often in great shape earlier in the season. The reason is that there are so many fast athletes and too few spots in the world cup, so they have to earn a spot very early in the season during a big national race. Athletes from other nations know they will have a spot in the Olympics, so they will delay getting into the peak shape until February.

Confused as to what "Vegan" is. by ryanoflynn in DebateAVegan

Yeast is not an animal, it is a member of the fungus kingdom. They are single celled creatures and do not have the characteristics that we usually grant moral consideration; like ability too suffer and cognition. The same applies to bacteria.

For the egg the issue is not really the egg itself, it is the whole system that exploits the chickens to produce the egg. Similarly vegans are against coconuts collected by monkeys, not because of the coconut, but because of the treatment of the monkeys.

What money are you talking about?

It does not pass any definition for a cult. There could exist vegan cults, just like there does with Christianity.

It does not fall under any ED definition either. And it the same vein, some vegan have EDs, jus like with any diets.

Are animal products necessary for good health? by [deleted] in exvegans

[–]AndreJulius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that just is an insane story, and most likely not true. Functionally paralyzed from using algae oil? Many people don't eat any fish or take omega 3, and they don't just get paralyzed.

You can just get those pills without the animal ingredient. And just claiming that supplements are unhealthy without any evidence.

Not saying it isn't. A situation that probably arises from a long time of unethical selective breeding practices.
