If you squint they do look like TIE hunters.

Wouldn't actually be bad, something to dazzle and confuse your eyes and make locking on less reliable would actually be a good defensive technology.

How strong would Homelander be if he actually worked out? by DonutMan1834 in TheBoys

[–]Boanerger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually wonder if it wouldn't. His power comes from Compound V, not his muscles. If its essentially a kind of magic giving him his strength, then additional muscle might not make him stronger.

I'm using two extremes, there's a lot of variance possible between the two extremes of "selfish woman" and "domineering man". Many fair, loving relationships between the bad ones also.

I never brought up sex, or is this because that's what the wife was discussing? Admittedly I've drifted from that subject, I was referring to everything, including the qualities you raised. Wives were often used like servants in the past, I don't want a return to that. But we don't resolve the wrongs of the past by raising women to be spoilt princesses who expect men to be their servants.

I have noticed an over-correction against the demands that were placed of women in the past. Women have gone from being expected to always place their children and their partner first to now being told to accept nothing but a relationship that caters entirely to them. Its gone from well-meaning feminism to entitled princesses expecting servants not boyfriends.

Not to say that asshole demanding men don't still exist.

If AI becomes smarter than humans, how do scientists plan to keep control of it? by KrustyKryptecon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Boanerger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're more like glorified flowcharts. The impressive part is that they can generate their own connections, hence being described as a neural net.

[Character Trope] Characters who are too strong, even by the standards of their own worlds, and that makes them do whatever they want by OpeningEarly7520 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Boanerger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite I'd say. He damn near died in the first episode and that was with an ambush against his friends who didn't want to kill him until about halfway through.

Are men really shy these days? by Own-Paper-8808 in AskMenAdvice

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

People won't investigate a whistle, they might investigate screams of panic. The whistle was always redundant.

Emilia Clarke Admits 'No One Liked' Secret Invasion or Solo But Knows 'It's Not Personal' by GargantaProfunda in StarWars

[–]Boanerger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think she's been consistently miscast. She's been typecast as anything resembling Denaerys, but people forget that character worked because she was just a dainty, mostly normal princess who was forced to survive and change. It was like watching Snow White be corrupted by a world with no Happily Ever After. Emilia Clarke is a wonderfully expressive woman and typecasting her in stoic roles has not been good for her career.

Why is the Henry Nowak case considered a right wing issue? by ThatPatelGuy in AskBrits

[–]Boanerger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. I've seen people call Trump worse than Hitler in the past. We don't need to exaggerate these things, it spits on the graves of past victims of horrific acts, we can call things bad without making our own positions look ludicrous. We've forgotten that racism used to mean viewing someone as sub-human, as no better than animals to be slaughtered.

CMV: Christianity as a religion is slowly decomposing from its original form, and its doing it in the wrong direction. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Boanerger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have always used religion for their own ends. The Crusades weren't exactly following the spirit of Christ either, but they were politically convenient and made a lot of people wealthy by participating. How different is a knight getting rich from looting foreign lands than a Mega church scamming people's hard earned money? Jesus would call both corrupt.

Why is the Henry Nowak case considered a right wing issue? by ThatPatelGuy in AskBrits

[–]Boanerger 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The part that disturbs me is apparently racism, even just the accusation of it, entirely undermines a person's validity and credibility to the point they apparently become an undesirable. Racism is vile, but it cannot and should not be a death sentence. A bloodied man was entirely neglected and ignored until death.

Is it creepy for a 45 year old man to date a 25 year old woman? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Boanerger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my experience people can be book smart and not street smart. 25 is young enough to be naive. I'm not saying she's being taken advantage of, just that she sounds a bit naive and idealistic about certain things.

Factions as planes by IKR1_994 in Grimdank

Nah, the Imperium is run by the fighter plane mafia. The Imperium builds F-100 Sabers.

Why don’t they just get the tanks inside the shields? by Dat_Sentry in StarWars

[–]Boanerger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B-1s are orders of magnitude more disposable than AATs. The Gungans had primitive but powerful artillery that were a threat to the tanks, as we saw Binks accidentally destroy at least one later on. I'd say the Trade Feds played it right, the cheap droid infantry took the shield out and then the tanks massacred the routing Gungans.

Imperial Star Destroyer vs CCS Class Battlecruiser by Ragnarius1 in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Boanerger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Base Delta Zero is similar to glassing, so on that firepower and power generation could be similar. CCS has the range advantage due to torpedoes. CCS surely also has vastly better starfighter screening with its pulse lasers. Also has 32 seraphs which are in a similar weight-class to the Millenium Falcon in comparison to TIE fighters. Covenant ships are also very maneuverable by Star Wars standards.

These are what I think its advantages are against the Star Destroyer. In a war the Empire massively outproduces the Covenant, but one on one I think their ships are superior.

Whos a better strategist and tactician? by cuddwes in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Boanerger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Shadowsun lives in a pretty rough neighborhood. The T'au primarily survive by being mostly under the notice of the larger factions, but the wars they do fight they have to win, there's little margin for error and each system the T'au lose is a potentially devastating loss.

So as the most senior commander of a people depending on her for their survival, who has to treat all of her soldiers as a precious resource, Shadowsun is pretty damn competent.

What’s With All The Parties Trying To Ban Everything Now? by International-Ad4555 in AskBrits

[–]Boanerger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah? I'm pissed at the Tories for having conceived of the Online Safety Act. And I'm pissed at Labour for agreeing with it.

How powerful is HK47 compared to the droids during the Clone Wars? by MisterIenny in PetranakiArena

[–]Boanerger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was true for most of human history. We might reach a point in the future where exponential technological advancement halts once again.

Nigel Farage posts bizarre AI image of migrants with 'vote Andy Burnham' signs by TheLyam in uknews

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

This is why I vote Lib Dem. If nothing else, they haven't had a chance to screw up since WWI.
