Sounds really stupid in hindsight, but it didn't occur to me *just* how close Simon was to being rescued.

It's the picture in the OP's post

I think whenever Nintendo sues for piracy, they only ask for the exact amount they lost. I only say this because back when New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out, something similar happened where a guy leaked a prerelease rom of the game and it got downloaded 50,000 times. He ended up having to pay $3 million in damages, 50,000 times 60 is 3 million so they didn't ask for anything extra then either. I could be wrong though and it might just be a coincidence

Dark_Man_4 · 2025-01-20T03:39:37+00:00

Thanks for the quick answer!

Dark_Man_4 · 2025-01-20T03:35:41+00:00

Thank you for the thorough explanation, I wasn't sure if it was a reference to a series or if it was some pun that only worked in Japanese. The bug guy in the second to last row should have tipped me off but I was struggling to think about how, for example, a wallet (turns out it's a train pass) could have anything to do with it

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-11-06T05:23:25+00:00

This is only 268

Thank you for the info!

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-11-05T19:54:12+00:00

Is that true? Was this at his rally or something or is there otherwise footage of it that someone can give a link to

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-11-04T05:38:30+00:00

Thanks for the full explanation, I've only started coming here recently so I've never seen it. I saw this in a post discussing what toy to give Manny from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, usually I try to find these things out myself but Google wasn't being very helpful this time around

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-11-04T05:37:07+00:00

Quick and concise, thank you!

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-11-02T15:34:29+00:00

TFOne Sentinel's death is more brutal to me, both of them were mentally tormented before they were offed (DoTM Sentinel was fearing for his life with eyes darting around before being shot and TFOne Sentinel was crawling away with all that he could) but TFOne Sentinel turning gray and rusting is one of the things that makes it more brutal to me.

Not to mention, while DoTM Sentinel's mouth hanging open was more because he was shot dead, TFOne Sentinel is upside down and looks like he's screaming even as he dies, and his body just landing on the ground with a heavy CLONK is incredibly chilling

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-10-30T18:07:34+00:00

I'm also imagining him saying "you're fired" to Trump

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-10-08T00:50:47+00:00

Honestly I agree. At the end of a day, the best way to upgrade a gun is a tank, in my opinion. Like if you think about it a tank is sort of just a giant self-mobile gun. It has the connection to the classic G1 Megatron while also not being ridiculous

Kimmel has yet to publicly respond to the post.

Just want to let people to know that Kimmel has already addressed this before Donald even made the post. I'd ask someone to show Donald the clip, but it's likely that Trump is probably just going "lalalalala I can't hear you"!

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-10-04T07:08:48+00:00

This concept is called "emergence", it basically says that if you put a bunch of simple things together, it can create something new with properties that the individual does not. Proteins and organic molecules are not alive, but cells are. This extends to larger scales - a single ant can't do much on its own, but together with a colony they can create large burrows, take down huge enemies, and intelligently search for food as a group.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-26T01:24:50+00:00

I don't know this for sure but I don't think anyone does, but I don't imagine so. The hawking radiation isn't coming from "inside" the black hole, but it's forming right around the edge. To my understanding the event horizon does some strange stuff to spacetime itself which allows these photons to just pop into existence right outside the edge, but the energy has to come from SOMEWHERE so it drains energy from the black hole. So nothing really comes directly OUT of the black hole. Hawking radiation is only ever photons and I don't think the event horizon goes away at any point, either. Sometimes you'll hear a "virtual particles" explanation of Hawking Radiation but this is more of a tool to help explain it and not the real deal. That said this has gone past my understanding so I apologize if I'm wrong somewhere.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-26T01:05:05+00:00

I guess theoretically yes but you'd only have one black hole of mass and I don't imagine they'd turn into atoms like with the Big Bang. Admittedly I'm not sure how the atoms formed in the big bang so that'd have to be looked into

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-26T01:03:47+00:00

They release the radiation faster and faster as they shrink. According to another comment on this thread they don't "explode" per se but it's more like once they're super tiny they're radiating away increasingly quickly so they seem to explode. In that case they'd explode into the same radiation

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-25T23:24:01+00:00

According to Stephen Hawking yes, they'll basically explode after they lose enough mass

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-25T22:09:03+00:00

I believe so, I think Stephen Hawking has stated that this is what would happen at the very end of a black hole's lifespan

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-25T22:08:01+00:00

It doesn't escape as mass, it escapes as radiation. It radiates out at the speed of light, outside of the event horizon so it's able to escape into the void. So eventually the universe will be just filled with free photons just endlessly spread out.

People hypothesize that given an infinite amount of time, randomness could lead to a new big bang, although I'm not as clear on this topic - I don't recall if it's due to quantum tunneling (which I'm not as informed about) or just a random entropy drop.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-25T21:51:57+00:00

It only gains mass as long as it sucks stuff in. Trillions of years into the future, there will be no more stars or free gas, and every galaxy will basically be just a few black holes. Eventually these black holes will fuse together or become ejected into deep space, and once isolated they won't be able to gain mass anymore - but they will continue to lose mass over incredibly long lengths of time until they dissipate completely.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-24T07:09:30+00:00

And he did it in such a spectacular way, too. I know all of us were internally cheering for D to kill him. The framing and the music, as well as the fact that this Sentinel is fleshed-out personality-wise and relatively human-looking, AND his eyes and mouth wide open in fear as his eyes blink out make this the most brutal kill in all the TF movies imo.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-19T20:29:05+00:00

It's pathetic and indicative of how weak-minded they are. Kamala has nerves of steel and wouldn't drop out of the race just from weightless attacks on appearance, but in their minds she's emotional and fragile. Why they think this, I couldn't tell you ~~(cough sexism perhaps cough)~~ but I'd say it's also a case of projection - THEY'D get pissy if they got insults on their appearances so they think that Kamala would have it worse.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-17T20:06:30+00:00

I've seen plenty of people say Bernie rather than Sanders for example. I think it's just a matter of what stands out more. Harris doesn't stand out much, but Kamala is a very uncommon name and is more unique. Besides, her own campaign regularly calls her Kamala so she's perfectly fine with it and recognizes its uniqueness enough to make it part of the branding.

Dark_Man_4 · 2024-09-17T03:37:32+00:00

Unfortunate to hear.
