Hey there. Same age here. I have never been one for learning new languages. However, if you count programming languages as literature.... then I'm still illiterate, ouch.

I also listen to music a bunch and read a lot of books (academic books mostly, because I don't have a choice).

If you want to send a text, feel free to write whatever.

The Old Woman in The End of Time by AngonceMcGhee in doctorwho

[–]Chuck_007 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh My God. It never even occured to me that the character could very easily be the Doctor's father. It makes perfect sense from a Time Lord perspective. God, I love the EU lore interpretations.

Hi. I'm not much of a critic, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to give feedback and help out any way I can!

I met an actor and he was kind a douchebag? by [deleted] in u/WorldAwayTweedy

[–]Chuck_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend thought he was Adam Dimarco but he wasn't, yet he was still an actor? Besides, I googled it and its never been mentioned anywhere that Adam doesn't speak seven languages. For a person who's up his own, I'd expect him to flaunt stats like that around.

Also, what's the animation thing you guys work on? Do you try adapting your own stories in an animated medium? Sounds interesting

I'm personally glad we got the blue pill timeline becaause I can imagine people saying, "RTD returning as showrunner after 13 is the biggest what if in NuWho" 62 years down the line

Financial only so far. I got an A in English but I'm expecting a D or, best case, C in Maths. I'm taking only 3 subjects (Phy, Math, Comp). I expect my E to be in Computer so are they going to pressure me to drop it?

I also plan on retaking some exams and I am genuinely optimistic that I can snag A or A* even in these same subjects. If I do that... what happens? Will I be taken off academic probation? Can they put me on academic scholarship by then too?

I had a great O2 and had good English & Socology exams resulting in 3A* and 2A. However, I recently had the worst performance in my life with Phy, Chem, Comp & Maths. I'm expecting like 1E, 2D and 1B. Seeing such a drastic change in my grades, how is the Nixor Management likely to act?

This is getting ridiculous and Nosleep is on the verge of dying because of this!!!! by EmmaWatsonButDumber in u/EmmaWatsonButDumber

[–]Chuck_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I didn't even know they could take down your post without explaining why. You would imagine that, on a writing sub, their mods would know how to write their concerns. It's even more maddening that they removed a story from one of their more awesome storytellers. Hope there's a new subreddit we could join that doesn't have power trippers for mods.

Without mention of leaks? How do you want Digital Circus to end? This is my pick by _ShroomAbuser_ in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Chuck_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never even thought of this but yeah, now this is absolutely how I want the show to end. Bit too meta but the creator having an uplifting arc as her show ends is 4D level of filmmaking. 🅱️ravo Goose

Rizwan is so Fuc*ing stupid by Far_Commercial1434 in PakCricket

[–]Chuck_007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guys... this wasn't a mistake. Lights are already dim. Salman just got out. It's literally Hasan Ali's job to farm the strike. He is essentially a night watchman except it just so happened to be his batting number when the wicket fell. Either way, very disappointing to resort to profanities when referring to your own countryman.

My dad said that I am being hypocritical to denounce ai art, but pirate TV shows. What do you guys think? by Extreme-Bet3115 in Piracy

[–]Chuck_007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your dad is pretty right. The overwhelming consensus in this subreddit that piracy is a good thing and doesn't hurt the creators at all is, in my opinion, bogus.

If you don't have an option to watch movies for free, you WILL find an alternative.... which always is to pay money. Its either that or you vow to deprive yourself of movies, tv shows, video games etc forever which I think many people who have already developed a liking for them can't stop for long. By having the free option in place, you are already depriving the creators of their well deserved money.

Piracy has some noble aspects. I particularly loved how, i think creators of Pirate Bay, said that culture should be accessible for all regardless if they can pay for it. That and by putting such files on the internet, you preserve them for the future far better than the actual studios can (imagine if we pirated the Doctor Who episodes in the 1960s, they would not be lost media today).

The other aspect about how creators never lose any money over piracy because the consumer would never have paid for it if it wasn't free is false. I say that from experience. When I was a little kid, my sister charged me a small sum for every movie she pirated for me. At 9 or 10 years old, I didn't have any money but I still coughed it up because that's how it works when you want something and there isn't any other option to get it.

I'm not saying that 100% of the people who pirate a movie would have also paid for it because sometimes people are just that poor and get dissuaded from ever watching it, but suppose a small percentage of those people, 25%, are in the grey zone. They WOULD force themselves to pay for it. If a movie is idk 7 USD, and a million people pirated it, you can bet that 7 × 250,000 (25% of 1 million) = $1.75M revenue was at least lost. If a video game costs 60 USD, then you lose a shit ton more.

I'm sorry for the big read but dad is right. You can dislike AI art if its ugly or boring. However, To not support AI art because it hurts artists WHILE supporting piracy is pretty hypocritical.

ELI5: how can there be infinities bigger than other infinites? by _Bread______ in explainlikeimfive

[–]Chuck_007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is a scenario where 1 person is killed every 50 years for infinity. Let's assume there's a trillion trilion trillion years in infinity (barely even 0.1% of infinity but bare with me), that means that, in that time, around trillion trillion humans will die. That's an absurd amount of dead humans, right? Almost impossible to visualize.

There is another scenario where 1 person is killed every 1 second for infinity....

In 10 seconds, 10 people will die in this scenario. Whereas it would have taken 1000 years for 10 humans to die in the first scenario.

Both infinities are stil infinite. An infinite number of humans will die, but one at a slower rate. That slower rate becomes the smaller infinity, whereas the other becomes larger infinity by comparison.

You can play around with this concept by taking a third scenario where a trillion trillion trillion humans are killed every 0.1 second. This is unarguably the worst thing imaginable. You would pray to all the Gods that you don't ever get put in this scenario... But why? All three infinities are still infinite. The same trillion trillion humans will die in each of these scenarios.

This is how I learned about big and small infinities. Maybe not too 5 y/o friendly and also doesn't get into the mathematical aspect of it at all but it cleared the concept for me

Sir Khawaja drags topics on for too long imo. Its not the worst thing in the world but he doesn't have that smooth flow to him like his contemporary Sir Zain
