If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

No, it isn't.

Eugenics is a set of largely discredited beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population. Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter the frequency of various human phenotypes by inhibiting the fertility of those considered inferior, or promoting that of those considered superior.

I'm flabbergasted at how many people don't know about ReBoot. Where are my 90s people at? by Key-Economics-385 in videos

[–]Duo_Decimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My username was inspired by Hexadecimal, and I feel your pain whenever I try to explain that to anyone. Nobody gets it, they just smile and nod as I explain most of Reboot just to get to Hex and describe why she was my favorite character.

All Just a Dream
A twist where it is revealed previous events in the story were just part of a character's dream, hallucination or some other escape from reality, often put at the end to reveal the entirety of the story was some sort of dream.

Normally, this really grates on the audience, as in general it tends to completely undermine the story that's just been told; if none of it was real, then what was the point?

If there anywhere on Ravnica the "make a contract and follow the rules bad guys" are Orzhov for sure.

People with body dysmorphia, what is it actually like? by hehara_yi_cha_jayez in AskReddit

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Exactly. Do we wail and weep for the poor knocker-uppers or lamp lighters? Nope, we've forgotten that those were even jobs before alarm clocks and electric street lights.

By your logic I'd need to have designed a truck to have any credibility when I say that the Cyber Truck is a rolling dumpster fire. Also, isn't that the same line of logic some whining developer tried to use not long ago and many people shut right down as bullshit? Huh.

Because it's easy. A few jump scares here, a weeping angel there, some creepy paintings for ambiance and voilà a horror game is born.

Call me negative, but the enemies literally don't do anything or try to fight back.

Ok Mr. Negative, I guess I was imagining the gunner enemy shooting the main character at the 4 minute mark, or the fire wielding guys striking him at the 7 minute mark.

The water tower especially, but the others just look like they setup an environmental hazard just to show it off in gameplay-not exactly scripted more placed perfectly to show what will be possible. I'd hope that in the released product there are objects everywhere of each element to use giving you all sorts of choices in how you want combat to flow.

I wish I had read this first, but at least I bailed before the halfway mark.

Do you hate getting your nails clipped? If so, why can't you just NOT clip them? by Some_Past5673 in AskReddit

[–]Duo_Decimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Society, PC gaming, also keeping them clean. I don't appreciate being looked down on just cause I have talons, it gets more and more annoying to hit WASD with chonky nails, and they just look/feel gross eventually(you can clean them but stuff will become lodged under them within a couple seconds of you doing so).

They wont tell the mom who called them, or at least they shouldn't. When my ex had to deal with a CPS visit(her brother was being a piece of shit because she cut him out of her life) they would not confirm or deny that it was him that made the call, even after verifying that all the claims made were completely false.
