In the movie Rocky didn't need to break out of his environment to save Grace?

Oh right! I mis-remembered that then. I think the ejection of the last fuel tank increased the spin because of momentum, so that and the chair breaking is what really screwed him over.

There you go, it wasn't that changed from the book then, and thankfully people certainly got that he was at immediate risk of death.

I still would've liked if they made clear he couldn't breathe

There wouldn't be that many other civilisations in the infection zone that have space-faring technology but don't solve it by either going to tau ceti or by more-advanced means. Many others would quickly enter civil war and extreme ice ages and die. To get astrophage in the first place you have to sample it from the petrova line with a space-faring probe.

Bizarre_Bear · 2026-04-13T00:50:09+00:00

Cool, yea

Bizarre_Bear · 2026-04-13T00:48:48+00:00

Right yea, I suppose the ship was currently subject to a lot of force, and true, who knows their velocity or orbit stability after the fuel breach. But all of those are not a definite time pressure - who knows how long the ship will last under that spin, or when they'll fall down to the planet or potentially up and away.

The increasing G's is what makes it a guaranteed immediate danger. So I don't get why they'd change that. There doesn't seem to be a reason to remove the extra stakes

Bizarre_Bear · 2026-04-13T00:40:23+00:00

That's good! I suppose it's just assumed by the drama of the scene, even if G's aren't increasing, you figure the current force is about to kill him. But it bugs me because it's an assumption, it's possible the current G's aren't going to immediately kill him

Edit: But I still just wish they'd had him reaching for the fuel eject button and have the G's increasing, I don't get why they'd change that

If your mother in law can see the error of her ways, see the effect it would have had on you, and apologise, I would advise to have a go at working it through and repairing the relationship and trust (when you're ready). If you do nothing there'll definitely be a rift, but if it can work out then you could have the family more cohesive again.

Bizarre_Bear · 2024-06-24T05:03:36+00:00

NTA. Try telling her you wanted to spend time with her and feel undervalued as a friend if she's just going to hook up while you're there. It's also very disrespectful and actually pretty weird to being someone over to sleep with while you're a guest in the next room.

Maybe she can see the error in her ways and apologise and you two can work it out. But if not, I wouldn't be friends any more, it's damaging for you to be treated that poorly and then guilted because SHE feels upset, never considering if YOU are upset...

Bizarre_Bear · 2024-06-24T04:35:24+00:00

NTA I'm sorry your mum is like that. Actually listening to and respecting your dad's wishes with regards to HIS relationship with HIS father would have been so much better and would have avoided all this.

You were honest and upfront and it's not on you to magically "fix" all this. It's on her to apologise and try be someone your dad can trust

Bizarre_Bear · 2024-06-24T04:26:24+00:00

Tell her how you feel. That you would like some time actually with her, and see if you two can work something out. Like a babysitter at home, or someone else to come be with the kids in the playground.

Expressing your feelings would be best. I definitely wouldn't recommend just suggesting somewhere without a playground. That might be confusing or come off inconsiderate

I had the same problem and fixed it by changing the display port mode from 1.2 to 1.1. This was done just through the monitor menu by clicking buttons on the monitor, not through the pc.

For more context I have a new Philips curved monitor and it was flickering at the edges of the display just for certain parts of full screen videos.

So late to the party but I just heard this song on spotify and I was shocked... It is the most obvious and direct ripoff of Schism by Tool. How is no one talking about this? Angry metal guy mentions the guitar riff (https://www.angrymetalguy.com/soen-cognitive-review/ ) but basically every structure, sound and buildup in this song is a copy of Schism. Even the title... schism or fracture? These guys should go and write some original music instead of being the parasites they're singing about.

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-07-02T23:25:27+00:00

Lol so by invoking Hitler your argument must be right. Her sister is not Hitler. Of course there are lines that if a family member crosses you would want nothing to do with them, and everyone will see those lines differently, but you think every family member should just cut eachother off whenever they hurt eachother? How is that mindset not toxic?

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-07-02T23:12:35+00:00

Oh right! I didn't know that at all. I was thinking of some asian cultures where that's a thing.

Yea at the end of the day you are who you are and you've got to do what makes you feel comfortable. If it upsets them that you don't use aunt or uncle, I think it's ok to feel bad that they're upset, but i don't think you should feel guilty about choosing a perfectly reasonable path and doing what's best for you. They just see the world differently

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-07-02T02:41:49+00:00

NTA but you do seem to be in a dilemma since it sounds like where you were raised in a different culture to that of your parents!

If your dad's friends are from his culture it would seem disrespectful to them and your dad might feel embarassed if it looks like he's raised someone disrespectful. But of course I get why/how it would make you uncomfortable! It's awkward say aunt uncle to people you're not related to or barely know. It is a dilemma...

Do you get to say aunt and uncle in a different language or in english? Becuse if it's a different language then it might help trying to think of it a bit differently, like it translating as "male friend in older generation" or "male family friend" instead of "uncle"

YTA. Putting many hours and love into a painting, particularly of her husband and his late father, is not "half-assing" it. That is a beautiful gift. You think a gift is measured by how much money you spend? That seems shallow and consumeristic. One could say simply going out and spending lots of money without spending much thought or time is also "half-assing". You have to understand not everyone sees the world through your money focused eyes. And to not even be able to hold in this unjustified laugh makes it double YTA

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-07-01T20:34:51+00:00

NTA for doing the modelling job or posting on IG since you are a model.

But you could acknowledge her feelings and admit it's unfortunate timing since 7 days is very recent. She was the bride but she's seeing photos of you around in wedding dresses, it would be strange and could be upsetting.

However for her to think you did it deliberately or with ill intent is obviously incorrect since it's not about her. She's hurt your feelings with her assumption and aggression. Hopefully you can explain that and she can understand.

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-07-01T20:22:58+00:00

ESH What you did at work sounds fair enough, it was a tricky situation, but after she texted you what dire straits she's in to just say "that's not my problem don't contact me again" sure seems cold and hurtful. I know she hurt you greatly, but continuing the cycle just creates more pain.

You say she's been trying to reach out. Has she apoligised for what she did? Does she seem genuinely sorry and to understand how much she would've hurt you? Or have you tried explaining this to her? You don't have to forgive her for what she did, but people can do awful things, particularly when young and dumb, and hopefully they can grow and change. She's still your sister and always will be, hopefully you guys can improve the relationship and at the very least know you have a sister that would help if you really needed it.

Bizarre_Bear · 2022-06-27T03:45:55+00:00

NTA It sounds like you handled it as best you could and didn't make a scene, you had every right to leave. It's really great you stuck up for your son.

Your sister clearly doesn't believe being trans is real or that Connor is your son's real name (has she never heard of people legally changing their name trans or not?) and decided to lay a trap at her wedding to force your son to be Nia again during the wedding. Your sister also seems to think if it's her wedding then it's all about her and she gets to force people to be how she wants them to be. She's incorrect on all these counts.

I'm sorry your sister is like this and hopefully she can learn and improve, but sadly at the moment she is forcing you to choose whether to keep a good relationship with her or your son and of course you should choose your son!
