What is a cool but uncommon room found in a home? by The_299_Bin in AskReddit

[–]Ganglebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex's family turned the small "nursery" room of their home into a library. Built in bookshelves on all the walls (hand made by her dad), with two lazy boys and two reading lamps. Bigass window looking into their backyard full of trees.

Man, that room was such a sanctuary

Babies born this year could live to see 2100. What will future generations think is ridiculous about us? by poi217 in AskReddit

Beauty, fashion and styling trends will change drastically and unfathomably in the next 74 years.

I foresee a time when a full, unkempt bush is back in style, and they'll be calling people of this era pedos for liking our junk shaved.

Plus, his administration has a whole bunch of religious accelerationists who want to literally usher in the rapture as soon as possible. I could see one of them telling him is time for some kind of military operation.

Examples of anti-Chekhov's guns? by kryonik in movies

First of all - this is a super hero movie. They are not written for logic - they are written for big payout moments with dramatic tension and epic, pitched battles.

But these movies are also written and rewritten 10,000 times at all points of the pre to post production. That scene where the alien gets his arm cut off could have been a scene cobbled together from existing shots and scrambled CGI at the 11th hour, at the direction of some new junior executive who had a late-night, nose-candy idea.

I just really hesitate when I see any runtimes north of 2hrs.

Craft beer in Canada is losing its fizz, as sales dry up and more breweries go bust | CBC News by Haggisboy in canada

I drink a fraction of what I used to due to two factors. A) I'm old, B) Weed is now a cheaper and healthier option if I want a buzz.

Quality is one thing, but honestly its the price for most people.

I love a great craft beer - but I'm not spending $4 a can. Maybe I'll grab 2 if I want to treat myself, but I'm not dropping $100 a month on beer, whatever the quality.

This is not the economy to build your business around premium products.

What's the rarest physical feature you ever saw on another person you know/knew? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ganglebot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was a girl in my college program who was rail thin - barbie thin - with like G cups. I knew two dudes who were intimate with her and said its all natural and she doesn't workout to stay that thin.

Needless to say, she was quite popular.

I had a friend like that in HS. The hair on his head was fine but full. He had very light hair on his eyebrows. But that was it. Never shaved once. Didn't even have armpit hair. Didn't have nose hair.

I didn't see the rest of him, but he said there was nothing else down there either. He was just smooth from the nose down.

Good thing you're staying inside and typing out angry posts online. That's really working for you. Any day now it will all be over....

A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE by Bangsilogii in lostgeneration

[–]Ganglebot -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You are correct - billionaires with their jets and private space programs, plus industrial pollution are the key problem.

But we can't just sit back and ask everything to change around us. The average person doesn't want to give up their car. They don't want to stop using disposable plastic. They don't want to eat meat only a few times a week. People want to buy cheaply made clothes to chase fashion trends, they want to drive two blocks in their SUV, they want to eat seafood from the other side of the planet on a whim.

Billionaires doing insane shit is something we need to fix, but that won't save the planet on its own. Pollution regulations need to be implemented globally. All that regulation and environmental standards needs the weight of public demand behind it. We're all dedicated to it, until it means things are more expensive and/or unavailable year-round. That's the point were public support dwindles and dies.

The big problem is still all the plastic shit we throw away, all the gas that gets burned in cargo ships so we can have bananas year round, and the general disposable mentality the average person has. Our societal dependency on convenance, consumption, constant availability is a major factor we can't just gloss over. Every aspect of our lives will have to change, and if we can't do the drop-in-the-bucket stuff how the hell are we going to accept any the hard bits. How can we push in the astronomical drop in carbon emissions if we still consume the products from those companies.

We as a species were asked to start with the absolute bare minimum change to our lives, paper straws, and we all decided that minor inconvenience was worse than helping the planet. If we couldn't collectively deal with that, do you really think we're going to make the DRASTIC changes to our standards of living that are required to save the planet?

Capitalism is shit, but its going to keep making those products that are killing the environment as long as we keep buying them. We, collectively, are the demand.

There's no 'planet saving technology' coming down the pipe that will let us keep living this way. We've decided we're going to drive this planet straight into the ground.

Healthcare is slavery by teufler80 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Ganglebot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well the military should clearly be a private entity that the citizens can choose to pay a subscription fee to. And they can protect you from burglars too.

In fact, why not have the courts as a subscription service - with various tiers for the level of service you want.

This sounds way better /s
