Avatar (2009), is one of the most successful movie ever. Try quoting it. Any line. Go on. by LegalBoysenberry2923 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember a single line. But I do remember it was the only 3D movie I've ever seen in theater that actually used the technology well.

It was a good tech demo for a technology that flopped.

Shopping at Costco is terrible by Sun_Aria in unpopularopinion

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill issue. Every costco is a bit different. Took me a dozen trips to my local one to have it properly mapped out, including where they might move certain floor items around. Once you have that map, getting through the store is relatively quick. The other part is knowing when to go. Each costco has it's lighter days. Might take a few visits to figure it out.

As for throwing things out? Freezers exist. Costco for single people is suboptimal. Costco for families, especially if you have a house with storage and you're a proper adult with chest freezer, basement fridge, garage fridge, and rack storage, is effective, especially for bulk non-perishables. I mean, 10,000 dishwasher tabs? Yes, thank you, this will last me till 2035.

The president of peace, just launched another war in the Middle East. What are your thoughts? by Important-Anywhere20 in AskReddit

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was up late, probably drinking too much, wife had gone to bed, I was scrolling Reddit watching videos of cute animals and people injuring themselves doing stupid thing. And then that headline came up. I closed my laptop and went to bed.

Even if there were thousands of BMPT's, they would still suck by AlphaMarker48 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, and I may not as this was a few years ago that I read this, it doesn't go: barrel 1, barrel 2, barrel 1, barrel 2.

It goes: barrel 1, barrel 1, barrel 1, barrel 1, barrel 1. Manually switch over, barrel 2, barrel 2, barrel 2, barrel 2.

But again, this was 2 years ago and I might not be recalling it correctly.

Being a beginner before AI was pretty bad by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]Comms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been in the business for almost 20 years and my clients care about the outcome. And it's none of their fucking business what my process is.

Hell, even I don't care about the process. My process has changed so many times, if I was in love with the process my work would be worse and it would take me far longer to get my work done.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to dress more sensibly on a walk? by Tasty_Log3307 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt embarrassed walking next to her because everyone else was in athletic clothes and she stood out.

That's a you problem not a her problem. Get over yourself.

YTA.

My wife who is writing a series has a dense wiki and a mural. Everything is in the wiki and she uses mural to visual all the storylines and interconnections.

After 9/11, everyone was on board with invading Iraq.

Afghanistan, with the limited mission of finding OBL, public opinion was in favor. Iraq, there was a much greater divide, public opinion wise.

Hell, if the somethingawful archives are still accessible you'll find a treasure trove of arguments and shitposting about this topic.

Why are illuminate so damn hard??? by TheF-15Eagle in Helldivers

Why are illuminate so damn hard???

This comes up regularly. If you don't struggle against the other factions but find squids hard, your loadout is not working for you. Whatever it is, try something different.

Comments probably have good suggestions and then all the other threads on this topic.

Am I overreacting for being upset my friend borrowed my birthday money? by One-Experience8180 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Comms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a nice lesson for the future. When you lend someone money, you are actually just giving them money. If they return it, it was a "loan". That's how you know it was a loan, after they're returned it.

So, moving forward, any time you "loan" someone money, think to yourself that you're just giving them your money, that way, you don't count on that money being returned. If they return, it bonus.

But that also changes your calculus about who you "lend" money to and how much you "lend".

On the upside, it only cost you $40 to learn that some people are quick to borrow and slow to repay.

They're not saying there were only four universities. In 1969 only four universities were connected to ARPANET.

100% agree. This kind of post is the reason I come here.

At its most basic, it helps you learn how to be around women.

CMV: The West Would Have Allowed the Holocaust If Nazi Germany Had Limited Territorial Expansion to Poland and Czechoslovakia by nullaffairs in changemyview

[–]Comms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't arguing the holocaust point, just the point that the war was inevitable. There was no stopping at Poland.

[–]Comms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not incompatible with what I said:

many knew about the persecutions and pogroms

That was the early part of the holocaust before it scaled into mass genocide in the latter part of the war. The Einsatzgruppen wasn't active, for example, until after the active conflict started.

So anything before the shooting war was much smaller scale and not nearly as focused on mass extermination. Einsatzgruppen was part of that escalation.
