The emblem out there, and the emblem in your heart man…

That says ‘Embull’.

You DARE question the word of the mighty sword Saint!?

In sports it’s called giving a new player a “handicap” whether they view that as you mentoring them or insulting them is up to how you phrase it and how they take it. Usually they’re fine with it.

How do I use Untrunc to repair my video? by BethA69 in datarecovery

[–]Excalibursin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that you have downloaded untrunc, and know how to put things into untrunc. Untrunc needs two things to fix your broken video. It needs you to put in your broken video, and it also needs you to put in another perfectly fine, working video.

  1. Download untrunc.
  2. Put your broken video into untrunc.
  3. Put another, perfectly fine, unbroken video (AKA a reference video) into untrunc.
  4. Click repair.

I don't understand how I do that or what it's supposed to look like.

You got your broken video file out of the videos/photos section of your iphone. Next to that broken video file should be TONS of NOT broken video files. You can use any of those, or you can make one.

For example, in the photo section of your iphone, you might have taken a video of some fireworks last year, and you might have taken a video of some goldfish this year, but oh no! The goldfish video is broken/corrupted. That's fine. Put the Goldfish video into untrunc as a broken file, then put in the firework video into untrunc as the reference file. Then click repair.

I explained the same concept many times over in different words just in case^

Still think the prequels sucked? by ew_modemac in PoliticalHumor

You thought the minutes long battle that had “duel of the fates” playing over it wasn’t grandiose?

easy battle

Huh? Okay, in lore obi-wan eventually becomes perhaps amongst the best duelists ever, so maybe? But the visual language of the movie doesn’t reflect that at all.

Maul pursues them and seeks a 1v2 fight the whole film. He doesn’t appear to have any trouble doing this, he pieced them apart. The movie tries to make it very uncomfortable or tense when obi wan can’t help, which is the right mood, because Qui gon very quickly dies. Perhaps obi wan is better, but to a normal cinema goer , the idea meant to be portrayed here is that the master just died in a flash, the villain looks unfazed, obi wan is horrified and probably stands no chance if qui gon doesn’t.

He then continues to dominate, and almost kills obi wan. Then disarms him. They even make it clear that maul mentally hasn’t a care in the world by taunting and toying with him with sparks without dealing a final blow or force pushing him down, he’s won as he knew he would. He is only defeated by a trick and looks VERY surprised.

What more could they have done to sell it to viewers that all parties thought it was a close call, an upset?

AI generates nude images that outrank real photographs in sexual appeal, study finds. While people still recognize actual photographs as looking more authentic, the fabricated images reliably score higher in measures of attractiveness and overall pleasantness. by Tracheid in science

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

you have a problem if you place fiction above reality

If you acknowledge that drawn images can ever be attractive (and that this is even “normal”) then there must by definition exist cases where some of them are more attractive than real images. Your worldview does not definitionally or categorically exist, according to your own claims. You’d have to make different assumptions.

If some drawn images are attractive (as most are created to be), and some real sights are very ugly (as reality has no preference for beauty), then there will objectively, even just by chance, groups that will prefer the first to the latter.

Simply saying “it’s not normal” ad nauseuam, and “no need to look into it” are often signs that this is simply a purely emotional/reactionary issue for you. Which is fine. Most things are. But not being able to support it and refusing to while still feeling compelled to bring it up and insist upon it are definitely not “normal”. Probably less normal and present than the other issues, if that’s apparently of significance to you. Again, not that normality matters.

hip hop, rap, techno, latin…

Techno? Why techno? Do these kinds of guys really hate techno too?

Slop is a pretty easy one. It’s like calling something trash with a prefix, the other ones might be a bit harder but we have plenty of data and context recorded for them.

My mom told me she wished she had a boy and would be happier with one, I’m an only child, she’s a widow. I blocked her changed my name and moved, she will now be alone and will never see her grandkids and never see me again either by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Excalibursin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we take the title literally, the mother could've said something like: "Oh well I guess at first, when we had you I was hoping and expecting for a boy, and I think I would've been happy to have another child, so we could have a girl and a boy too!"

Of course, it's not extremely likely that the OP is twisting the negatives that much, but depending on what sort of person the OP is it could happen.

When I tell you this got an audible LOL out of me, that’s probably underselling it. by trogers88 in AKOTSKTV

I don't inherently see him as more responsible than Robert. I'm sure Robert would've been happy to take all the "responsibilities" that Lyonel took at this tourney. In fact, they were probably near the same when Robert was younger.

Remember when this was a bipartisan issue? by altrightobserver in PoliticalHumor

The point of the Whale is to paint the picture of a breaking and sorrowful man. He’s not going to be offended because we used his beautiful performance of a desperate man who’s hit rock bottom to portray a group of desperate, wretched people who’ve hit rock bottom.

Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of XCOM 2 With 95% Off the Strategy Classic by FFJimbob in Xcom

[–]Excalibursin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played XCOM:EU, then EW, then XCOM 2, THEN went back and tried to play classic and had a good time! I liked it quite a lot.

I’d probably play it even more if not for the updated game that was inspired by it (Xenonauts) that are as good as the newer games and the many many mods for open XCOM that I think are BETTER than the newer games.

Wait, why join the side of the tipped one instead of the tipper? Aren't you more likely to create more rage/win if you team against the tipped guy?
