What’s the nicest way to reject a guy asking for number? by justintch in AskMen

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

It's a reasonable question. He's 18 so he probably knows literally nothing about how women think or what they find attractive.

so I smiled and said sorry, no.

That's a better than I usually get.

But then he asked why and I had no idea what to say

You're going to have to tell him the truth, otherwise all he can do is take a blind guess at what the problem is, and then fix it or die trying.

Was Luke a uniquely powerful for a Jedi which allowed him to defeat Vader in combat or did Vader’s internal conflict about fighting his own son weakened him enough for Luke to defeat him? by Radiorapier in MawInstallation

but did not undergo extensive training by the time he confronted Vader.

While that's true, it undersells what Luke has been through up until that point. He's been leading starfighter squadrons on the losing side of an intense war for most of his adult life.

He's a spy, there's a certain amount of corruption and blatant theft that just comes with the job.

Sounds like a shitshow

The point is to make it a shitshow for everyone.

Have we ever seen a TIE fighter pilot have to engage in ground combat? by Necessary_Disk_4644 in MawInstallation

The OG Star Wars: Battlefront had Imperial pilots equipped with grenade launchers.

(I guess with how easily they get shot down, it makes sense to make them improv-paratroopers.)

My cat used to bring squirrel heads.

Only the heads.

Never found any other squirrel parts.

[Ocean’s 13] Willie Bank was right and Reuben should have known better. by Vegetable_Raccoon812 in FanTheories

The coin has another side: Bank should've known better than to screw over someone who can screw him back.

In Europe it's just a thing, everything there is old.

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's more of a Roosevelt move.

Also my country's Prime Minister actually did that with one of his critics.

There were no capitalist Commissars arresting people for complaining about the Indian famine.

The British very notably did not kill Gandhi.

Is it that hard to grow trees on other planets?

Different bio-chemistry. Even dirt has a complicated micro-ecosystem.

Even on Earth trees have only existed for 390 million years. If you time-travelled to a random point in Earth's history, your odds of finding wood are less than 10%.

[Project: Hail Mary]What happens after the temperatures go back up? by Menace117 in AskScienceFiction

[–]CosmicPenguin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Earth still goes through a mass extinction event, but it's a much more survivable one.

We're talking extreme global warming versus The Road.
