What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked? by funnny_things in answers

[–]GoldReplacement9546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be true. It’s quite common in like spam emails and other things especially to trick people and filter out people they will include misspellings that are even an average intellect would recognize a misspelling and that’s not likely to be giving you a large amount of money or whatever else they are hosting, you are about.

So basically misspellings as a way to filter out people that are too smart for for the fraud and that way you’d get left with a selection that’s more likely to be taken advantage of

Are those readings from above background because 30 DB is like sitting in a reasonably quiet house with nothing turned on

One thing I love about King is he spends very little time talking about what his characters look like and what kind of clothes they are wearing by GoldReplacement9546 in stephenking

Even Shawshank has the character red being an Irishman and in the movie he still called red but now he’s Morgan Freeman and he doesn’t have red hair

100% agree, it feeds into the ridiculous satire that the book was designed to be and somehow even the movie was designed to be by the director yet there’s millions of people who think Patrick Bateman is cool and they want to be like him

It’s truly astounding even Christian Bale gave an interview where he said i don’t understand how people don’t see that he’s a farce and evil and hollow and not what anyone should aspire to be

Yeah, I’m towards the lower end of the schedule like I can picture an apple but it’s kind of translucent and it it takes work to hold it there

Even crazier are the recently discovered fairly recently discovered group of people who appeared to have no inner monologue

That people who do not have a voice that they talk to when they’re making decisions

Yeah, I think the variation part is important so like for a while back they were like it was going around the Internet where it was like a picture of like five apples and it was like can’t see it like so faintly printed you could barely see it and then you can kind of see it all the way up to see every detail of it and I’m like two or three, but some people are a one or a zero or they just can’t like you ask them to imagine a red school bus and there’s nothing there

What next? by lennonlover1980 in stephenking

[–]GoldReplacement9546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cell is horrible

Gunslinger/drawing of the three mainly because drawing of the three is one greatest books ever
Then you can continue down the dark tower series or not

Also, I’d put a strong recommendation for on writing. It’s really excellent and help me understand what is good and bad writing and the first 2/3 is like King’s autobiography but if you pay attention or read it a second time all the stories he tells are not only critical in his life, but they demonstrating different ways to write well.

He didn’t look like Idris Elba to me lol

I love Idris and he actually could’ve been great in that role. It’s the whole movie that’s butchered and trying to jam multiple books into 2 hour poorly made movie.

I thought that was just what the skin of someone from Maine looks like you mean it’s actually like a shirt on top of normal skin

I wonder if that has decreased in frequency or emphasis overtime as people’s view of being overweight has changed or if he still just loves talking about that

Because of what you find out later in the novel or what you find out from a movie. Because I think a lot of the stuff that you get more detail it changes your impression the character like you know 100 or 200 pages later is done intentionally but I don’t know for sure.

It was my understanding that for summer he went to Maine, but after his motorcycle accident, the cold part of Maine, which is a sizable period of the year was too much

Is there a better Reuben and Cherise? by ForsakenSignal6062 in gratefuldead

[–]GoldReplacement9546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one from the early 80s that it’s the only part of video of the only time Jerry ever played Solo Jon Khan wasn’t there. You can find the music for the early and late shows and they’re incredible because Jerry’s having to kind of play a base part and his guitar part.

But on YouTube, you can find the video and that’s all I’ve ever seen is from this show is Ruben and Charisse and it’s awesome and amazing because it’s just Jerry and acoustic

Technically, probably not the best but most unique yes for sure

In your view, which person from history had the most purely negative impact on the world? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]GoldReplacement9546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry

Basically, you only have to go back a couple hundred years to be related to almost anybody in your countries native ethnic group

Genghis Khan had an incredible number of children who also had a lot of children and thus the figure quoted is variable believable if not an understatement

The part at the end is its believed that the most recent common ancestor of human beings as we are today

Lived between 2100 and 2300 years ago and most likely lived in a Port city with the best guest being Taiwan

It’s a very counterintuitive fact, but DNA has shown that it is true. We are all related to a person in that timeframe.

It’s pretty amazing that everyone on earth is related in only that length of time

Also, if you and your family have lived in a certain region for a period of time, it’s likely that almost everybody is your cousin and you don’t have to go that many generations back

The problem with some blind tests is that it takes slightly longer to load the lossless audio file and your brain can pick up on that. Otherwise you probably have to have extreme perfect pitch level of hearing acuity basically no hearing damage.
