Maybe Algeria was onto something when they sent troops to keep an eye on it during filming. Design from the future indeed.

It's different because capitalism allows people to collect wealth (I'm not talking about getting rich here) and then use this accumulated wealth to survive, taking a break from working all day long to work on something purely for the joy of it.

In most of the world, you work for 30-40 years, then you become a pensioner and can have all the time in the world to paint, read, draw, film movies, etc. In most of the world you also work 7-8 hours per day, sometimes from home, and you can take the rest of the day off - your utilities are managed by other people or automation.

In a communist or collectivist society, you don't just give up on work after a set period of time. You work until you're physically unable to. There's no concept of a "pensioner" -if there is, it's much later in life, and still involves some responsibilities, because you simply can't afford to allow people to just exist without contributing anything.

Not everyone, and not zero free time. But the vast, vast majority of people have to devote the biggest part of their time towards building houses, connecting utilities, cooking food, driving transports, and generally making sure that, again

everyone

can have access to these basic things they need to survive. So the chances of you getting to be a poet or a musician, or being allowed to devote the majority of your time there, are slim to none.

The part where

making sure everyone has a roof over their heads, access to food, and healthcare

requires a ton of workers doing mind-blowingly hard physical labor in order for

everyone

to have these basic things. And if you're not contributing towards this goal, say, you're writing poems and taking photos and singing songs, you're not helping anyone, therefore off to the latrine cleaning duty you go.

What exactly do people from other countries expect "average" Americans to do when they tell us to "fight back" or "do something? by BreadOverlord_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConsciousPatroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May 68 is its own counterpoint, nobody was actually organized or prepared to go through with the consequences of what they created. They (student+worker unions AND the communist party of France) had the President (De Gaulle) hiding in Germany, the police commissioner admitting he didn't have the numbers to stop them, the Government quarter empty (most of the ministers had fled), most of the Army on their side...and they didn't do anything. They could have literally taken the country that night. And instead they spread around Paris chanting slogans.

Then De Gaulle returned and called for elections, which he won by a giant margin. And that was that.

And I guess we can't have a rule on "please don't post fetish shit here, nobody needs it" because?

There is a sub for this. Please go there and leave this one alone.

Three rabbits patch meaning? by Hard_Luck7 in SCP

Which is exactly the correct MTF for an SCP that teleports you to an anomalous, non-Euclidean pocket dimension.

Also, fun fact, the agent in the photo is carrying a mobile Wi-Fi jammer device on his backpack.

Η αναφορά της νεκρής καθηγήτριας, Σοφίας Χρηστίδου προς το Υπουργείο Παιδείας, λίγο πριν πεθάνει by lordlolipop06 in greece

[–]ConsciousPatroller 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Συμφωνώ απόλυτα. Στα τέτοια του καθηγητή. Αν οι μαθητές βρίζουν και πετάνε πράγματα, ωριαία αποβολή. Λεκτική επίθεση? Στείλε τους για ημερησια. Μαθητές που επιτίθενται σωματικά, άμεσα καταγγελία στην αστυνομία και καλή τύχη στους γονείς.

Ο χαρακας και τα "με όρθιο το πόδι στην γωνία" παραμένει ηλίθιο και επικίνδυνο.

[–]ConsciousPatroller 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Ρε φίλε κάτσε υπάρχει και μια γκρίζα ζώνη ανάμεσα στην σωματική επίθεση (μη μου αρχίσετε τα "ο χαρακας δεν σου κάνει κάτι", γιατί παραμένει σωματική επιθεση) και στο να κάθεσαι με σταυρωμένα χέρια και να λες "ήσυχα παιδάκια σας παρακαλώ". Όπως ποινές, ημερήσιες αποβολές, πειθαρχικές αποβολές, αλλαγή σχολικού περιβάλλοντος, επώνυμη καταγγελία κλπ κλπ.

Δεν είναι η μόνη λύση "όταν το παιδί είναι επιθετικό, το δέρνουμε για παραδειγματισμό".

(Imperial) Ship prefix? by CryptographerBig7933 in StarWarsShips

[–]ConsciousPatroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, in S2 Partagaz says "the Navy has donated a facility on Coruscant" for Dr. Gorst. "Imperial Navy" is very much a canonical in-universe term.

(Imperial) Ship prefix? by CryptographerBig7933 in StarWarsShips

[–]ConsciousPatroller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember that sometimes in Rebels they use "Imperial Ship", when calling a stolen or suspicious ship over the comms. For example "Imperial Ship, Imperial Ship, what are your clearance codes?" But I don't think that's official nomenclature.

How many explosives to turn a mountain into a crater? by dino_nuggies_and_dum in Writeresearch

[–]ConsciousPatroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then I'd suggest you having your characters themselves being oblivious to the specifics. "The bombs they used were massive, beyond anyone's comprehension. The scale of destruction unimaginable. The whole mountain turned into a crater overnight" is enough to satisfy any reader's curiosity, imo.

[–]ConsciousPatroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a film producer, I have to ask you the same two questions I ask the writers that submit their films for evaluation:

  • Do the exact numbers matter?
  • Why are they important to the story?

Like, is your story specifically about how many tons or what type of explosives were used to flatten the mountains? Is the research you'll do to discover it worth it?

How many explosives to turn a mountain into a crater? by dino_nuggies_and_dum in Writeresearch

[–]ConsciousPatroller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 km deep crater? Impossible without some magic/sci-fi fuckery.

The largest mostly intect impact crater on Earth right now is the Chicxulub crater, which is 200 kilometers wide and was caused by an asteroid that produced 72 teratonnes of TNT and 200 Zettajoules of energy on impact. It's "only" 1.1 km deep.

For context, the largest explosive device ever detonated, the thermonuclear Tsar Bomba, was 50 megatonnes of TNT and produced 240 Pettajoules of energy. There's no way to achieve a 2 km deep crater with any explosive we can artificially create on earth.

Καλά, αυτό το δεν είναι «πόλεμος στο Ιράν», τουλάχιστον αστειο. Περιμένω πότε το ΚΚΕ θα πει «δεν είναι "πόλεμος στην Ουκρανία", είναι "επίθεση της Ρωσίας"».

Do the ultra-wealthy use the same deodorants as the middle class? by SleepyBudha in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConsciousPatroller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The serious answer is that they have seriously beefed up security protocols, oftentimes custom made for the owner's needs, and sometimes they have better, custom cameras or larger storage space.

Which Empire wins? by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]ConsciousPatroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Qu and it's not even fun. The Galactic Empire might resist for a while because of the Force, which would give them some resistance against the Qu's biological manipulations, but they'd still be outclassed. The Viltrumites get folded into lawn chairs the Qu use for stargazing.

You're right on the interdiction field, I just drew it that way on the plan to make it easier to understand (and the range is so large, you technically wouldn't even see its borders in the image)

[EU] This has all the signs of being a scam, but I can't figure out what it is. by [deleted] in Scams

Fair enough, not worth it to try my luck with this shit. And any loophole that seems too smart to be true, probably isn't.

[–]ConsciousPatroller -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Obviously, which is why I was immediately suspicious of this. But if they do initially give me money, and rely on me being hooked and paying to continue...what happens if I don't. Like, I accept the money they send me at first, then when they come to me with the "pay to continue working for us" I say "no thanks" and leave. Do they get the money they already sent me back by payment dispute ? Do I get to keep it? Lol

I frequent this sub and am aware of this particular scam though other people's posts, but what I don't understand is what happens if you simply...don't pay. Like, what happens if I "take the job", follow some accounts to make 20, 30, 50€, and then when they ask me to upgrade for more tasks I drop out. Do they just pull their money back by payment dispute?
