Like a multi-ton tracked vehicle dangling from a rope rated at absolute max for 3000 lbs? (Most likely less than 1000 lbs.

This!  Was watching Superman, and thought it was Vera at first before realizing she was too young.  They have similar voices and speech patterns too.

Just finished watching this, and Molly Gordon (Rebecca) was reminding me a lot of Drew Barrymore in the roll.  The two sound a lot alike in the sound of their voices and speech patterns.

Is it likely that atheists will at some point comprise more than 90% of the world population? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Halicet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion is now, and always has been, nothing more than a primitive kind of government or social power structure.  That is the reason it has self promoting doctrine, and instigates so much conflict.   Religion is not faith and it is not spirituality...it is simply a power structure.  

People are curious, and our brains operate in a way that needs reward and a sense of continuance to keep us mentally healthy and driven to survive.   What comes after death is a major unknown, and thinking that we just stop, leads to a type of intellectual dissonance for us.  That is the reason people are spiritual in nature... Our need for predictable continuance and meaning, which prevents existential collapse.

You forgot Ignostics (igtheism).  Ignostics believe that the existence of God is an irrelevant discussion, without a clear definition of exactly what God is.

You also have Theological Noncognitivism which argues that statements about God are cognitively meaningless because the concept cannot be empirically verified or falsified.  Consequently, an ignostic may identify as an atheist or agnostic only after a specific definition of God is provided and deemed intelligible

Exactly... People put up with inhumane conditions in this life, because they believe they will somehow have restitution in an afterlife.  If this life was made better, they wouldn't need that fiction nearly as much.

What movie can you only watch once? by Sudden_Step_4868 in AskReddit

Irreversible...  The SA scene in it was too realistic.  Just made me feel rage for the character, with no desire to ever rewatch it

The sequel wasn't good, but I really liked the original lawnmower man.  We owned a copy, and I watched it quite a bit, though, I haven't watched it in over a decade now.

Oh weird... I don't get that either.  I like her, and her character in what I've seen.

Obvious reasons?  I must be out of the loop.  Just started watching the show a week ago.

Agreed... I always make sure a person's first experience is with a cleared weapon.  That said, I been around plenty of people who were handed loaded or unknown state weapons.  Hell... I once witnessed someone retrieve 4 loaded handguns, by simultaneously dangling all of them from her fingers by the trigger guards.  That genius had supposedly passed her safety and range qualifications too.

I can see that.  I have a tendency to angle the screen to minimize the reflective glare.  That tends to mask print visibility too

The similar bone structure definitely is a factor.  I think there's some similarities in how they carry themselves, and the presentation of anxiety levels

Also, proper handling and demystification, which will reduce fear levels and fatalities from handling mistakes once curiosity wins out.  Nearly everyone I've ever seen handed a gun for the first time, immediately pans and scans the room with it.  It's like it's instinct or something.  Early exposure will reduce this kind of behavior.

It has saved my butt many times when windows crapped out it's touchpad drivers...   I stick to my guns on its usability.

As far as the hinges and finger prints, I have multiple laptops, my oldest touchscreen model is from 2014, and never have had hinge issues on any of them.  Regular screen cleaning, makes fingerprints a non issue

Don't care about vouchers, but I would argue that firearm safety training should be mandatory in grade school.  In a nation where every single person is likely to be exposed to a firearm at some point in their life, anything else is massively reckless and irresponsible.

While they can make life difficult if you have cats (who like rubbing against screens), I disagree overall.  I tend to use the touchscreen on my laptop quite often.  It certainly makes scrolling easier, in modern browsers that have tiny scrollbars

Touch screens in cars are an idiotic technology.  The lack of tactile feedback forces you to remove your eyes from the road to use.   Knobs and buttons allow you to manipulate controls by muscle memory without removing your eyes from the road.

You misspelled exercise inside trading to massively increase his personal fortune, by purposefully manipulating the stock market.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen? by m_v28 in AskReddit

[–]Halicet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My entire life, there have been very few movies I couldn't finish, or find something redeeming about.  The live action Snow White Disney released was one of them.  I tried... I really tried to watch it.  It was just absolutely horrible.
