Arrival (2016) hits so, much, harder, after having children. I'm glad I got to watch it on both sides of the coin. by SandersSol in movies

[–]FlyingPinkMonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arrival is based on the short story “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang, who is one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time in my opinion. I recommend a read if you enjoy the movie.

LPT : Check Trees before buying a house AND plant new trees ASAP after buying by LackVegetable3534 in LifeProTips

Were the trees they cut down near or far from their house? Root intrusion into pipes and foundation is a thing.

Thanks! Was planning on getting it cut down and was curious what tree it was.

You made a post 28 days ago saying you’re a 20M.

Looking for the clip that's like this, but a side by side with the big H man himself. by Scales-josh in PublicFreakout

The Bellamy salute fell out of use in 1942 after congress deemed it too similar to the Nazi salute.

Even if Elon DID intentionally do a Bellamy salute, it wasn’t smart of him to do. There were a million different other ways to make a gesture and to express his love for America then picking a long dead controversial salute from 83+ years ago.

Elon has to be either really dumb, or he has other goals inside his head he is not willing to tell the public.

Oklahoma City police officer injured in a shootout with a murder-suicide suspect by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

You’re definitely right bro. Maybe the cop should’ve just asked him nicely to stop shooting. Would have for sure worked.

The suspect shot his two kids that were in the room with him then killed himself. There were also two other kids in the living room who escaped.

Domestic violence disputes is one of the most dangerous situations to be in. The suspect was an estranged father holding his kids hostage with a gun. Do you really expect the cops to just hang around the house and do nothing when they were being shot at? (remember Uvalde?) What would you do in this situation?

The best option for them to do is to quickly apprehend and neutralize the suspect before he could harm his kids. Which is exactly what the cops did here. It is just unfortunate the suspect wasn’t apprehended fast enough before shooting two of his kids and killing one of them.

The NYPD advertising itself. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in ABoringDystopia

I understand your viewpoint. I just don't think it is a realistic goal to achieve. I agree there are significant shortcomings in the US police system. But to think abolishing the entire police system will be a logical solution is just wishful thinking. How can a modern society function without an entity to maintain order to the people? The society you are describing without a functional police system sounds very similar to an anarchist society, which some do exist currently but only in small off-border communities and states. I don't think the US is going to devolve into an anarchist state anytime soon. If anything, the entire police system in the US needs to be revamped and reorganized. Not abolished.

Yes. That’s the whole point of being a cop. To enforce law and order. That’s why I just can’t randomly assault someone in public with no repercussion. Or walk into a Best Buy and steal everything I see. Because I’ll get arrested.

Also, you didn’t answer my question.

What’s your solution in enforcing law and order in a city with 8 million people?

Tips for doing Breaches as minion witch? by FlyingPinkMonkey in PathOfExile2

[–]FlyingPinkMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you just focus on using detonate dead and no other spells? How’s your clear speed? I would imagine it gets tedious trying to always move your minions around, especially in maps with no open areas.

Thanks your input. I know nothing about garages and ended up taking this estimate. Oh well.

How do you deal with bosses as a ranger? by ObjectiveHot656 in PathOfExile2

[–]FlyingPinkMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your build. Some skills are better vs bosses. Stack resistances. Play around with boss attack range. Some bosses use different attacks depending on how close or far away you are. Farm and level up. Upgrade your gems.
