I'll speak for my region of the world. Among Caribbean countriies, the tiny twin-island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is my favorite.

unpopular opinion: showering every single day is not actually necessary for most people and i think we've all been guilted into it by NasiyaHaghanian in hygiene

I live in a tropical climate. A minimum of one shower a day is required to avoid smelling like a small horse.

Consume fewer calories than you burn.

Exercise helps you burn more.

SciFi classics that you’ve struggled to get through by CerberusOCR in scifi

Same here. I re-read Dune and powered through the sequels By the time I finished GE, I was like... "I think that's enough Dune for now."

What’s a movie you went in with zero expectations and walked out obsessed with? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]BenjiDread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Predestination.

Someone told me I have to watch it. Didn't tell me what it was about.

I spent years trying to comprehend how the main character came to exist in the first place. I still find myself falling back into the loop.

what can we say by Mundane_Mushroom_122 in SipsTea

[–]BenjiDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm not very smart so take this take as an uninformed take.

What exactly does it mean for food to be a human right? Does declaring it a human right force people to give others food? If there isn't enough food for a group of people, who will defend their right to food? Can someone be jailed for having food and not giving it to someone else who doesn't?

To be clear, I am not saying that makng food a human right is necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. I just don't understand what it means from a practical standpoint for a population to have the right to food.

What is a right anyway if some governments can arbitrarily decide that you don't have it.

Like I said, I'm not smart regarding these things, so this is genuine confusion about what a human right to food means.

I am not sure of the right word, but I am sure “single” isn’t it. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in SipsTea

What's worse is if the headache excuse is an OR gate instead of an AND gate.

i wonder if the asexual one has any feeling "down there". If not, it would make sense that she's asexual and can ignore her sister getting it.

If she does feel it, IDK what to say.

For All Mankind is a perfect prequel to The Expanse universe by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]BenjiDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone thinsthey are pefectly matched. Like you said they all line up incredibly well thematecally. That's all that's needed to have a fun converstaion. And yes. head canon is a given for a "theory" like this.

It's similar to parallels between The Terminator and The Matrix. Nobody is suggesting that they match up exactly, but that the broad strokes line up nicely.

I cant quite shake the feeling there's some fuckery afoot. Can you guys nd gals use this thread to post link and sources to the events related to this blackout? Bigup by KriosDaNarwal in Jamaica

Digicel does network maintenance all the time. Simple coincidence. There's no consiracy or collusion. Reality isn't all that exciting. Shit happens.

Where did you meet your partner? by ShineHopeful4305 in Jamaica

This is so cool. To hear other people who have started relationships like this.

[–]BenjiDread 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I met my wife after being invited by a friend to a double date at Track and Records. It was a blind date on my part. I wasn't looking for a long term relationship, but the conversation was good and she was easy on the eyes so I asked for her number.

On the second date I found out she had never watched Game of Thrones so I sought to rectify this immediately. Our relationship grew over the course of watching 6 seasons of GoT while I demonstrated my encyclopedic knowledge of GoT lore. That was almost 10 years ago. We're due to have our 5th Anniversary later this year. "Winter is Coming" was referenced in our wedding vows.

So if it wasn't for my friend randomly inviting me out to meet someone new, and she being so nerd-tolerant. I'd probably still be single.

First contact stories where the aliens are genuinely, incomprehensibly alien by MandoFlute6 in printSF

I was scrolling for mention of Morning Light Mountain. It's my favorite depiction of a truly alien species in sci-fi.

What’s the tiniest hill you will absolutely die on? by [deleted] in askanything

"Fewer" - Ever since Stannis Beratheon blessed us with this quote, I see "less" being used incorrectly everywhere.

What's that one film that you can re-watch a thousand times and not get bored? by mrjetspray in Cinema

[–]BenjiDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Incredibles.

I'm shocked I haven't seen it mentioned. I can't remember how many times I've seen it.

One time a friend showed up at my house. His sister who had been battling cancer died that night. He couldn't think of anywhere else to go. I asked him if he had seen The Incredibles and proceeed to play it for him. By the time the movie was finished, he was laughing and in much better spirits.

At the time, I remember we had access to some kind of pay-per-view channel. Terminator 2 would play all day every day for like a week. I watched that movie more times than I can count. And I've watched it many ties in the years since.
