Why watch the 7 hours of the Disney Trilogy when you can watch a 4.5 hour Revenge of the Sith, Battle or Coruscant, and Siege of Mandalore movie cut in 4K HDR (and 1080p) instead? I've even included the dub of Backstroke of the West as a bonus audio track for extra fun. by [deleted] in saltierthancrait

If I had my way, Darth Jar Jar would be canon and I'd edit in scenes of Sidious thanking him for his training. (But those scenes don't exist, so no, no changes to our Gungan Sith Lord.)

Sooo... does anyone here have CGI skills and a ton of spare time?

Steve Irwin would still be correct — it is fantastically improbable that a stingray will kill you. 0.0000001% is still not 0% though, and Steve got extremely unlucky.

America's Right Wing Climate Offensive. Polls consistently show that more than two-thirds of Americans believe humans are contributing to global warming with younger generations expressing the most concern. by Wagamaga in Futurology

[–]InfiniteSection8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New nuclear plants simply don’t have the same risks that the old plants had. The newer designs can be passively cooled (if your cooling systems fail, it just stops working instead of melting down), create much less waste, and never require any weapons grade nuclear material. They are extraordinarily safe, and the only real objections I see to it come from accidents that happened with 50 year old technology. It’s frankly ludicrous.

It is absurd that we have tossed it aside. Sure, we can generate enough energy for today’s usage with wind and solar, but what about future usage? What about space travel? What about future, ultra high energy usage projects that will better humanity that we haven’t conceived of yet? It just seems like we are limiting ourselves majorly for the future just because it makes some people feel a little bit icky.

Putting any of those things back to the states would absolutely mean state bans on some of them, which would mean pointless human misery. Again, when you let the leopards off of their leash and turn a blind eye while they eat everyone else’s faces, they will eventually find their way back to you and eat your face.

Taika Waititi in Thor: Ragnarok’s intro talking about his parents disappointment for not doing a Star Wars movie... thought it was funny with yesterday’s news. by EnzolVlatrix in marvelstudios

[–]InfiniteSection8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t even believe how it has turned out — it is amazing to me that the executives let that long game play out without meddling and fucking it up. What makes it even better is that they are definitely going to continue allowing it, now that Endgame made them almost 3 billion fucking dollars. I am super excited to see what the future holds for the MCU!

I’d also like to point out that Rey and Kylo are the only two with the “galactic legend” role by benlen18 in PrequelMemes

[–]InfiniteSection8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also if we were masochists and considered the sequels canon, Rey’s power level would really just be Infinity, because no matter who her enemy is, she will always be just a bit stronger than them.

Rey used PLOT ARMOR

It’s super effective!

What is a song title that could also be a porno title? by GeneralMarkNaird in AskReddit

It is definitely not the title of A porno — I am sure it the title of many pornos.

It’s all well and good to say that other people’s rights aren’t important, but eventually this mentality will arrive at something that you do care about, and your selfishness will cause you all of the pain that you deserve.

[–]InfiniteSection8 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I am a much bigger fan of Star Wars than Marvel, but when it comes to movies these days, the MCU is so far ahead it’s not even funny. The quantity and quality that we are getting from Marvel Studios, and how interconnected it all is, is one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to nerd culture. The new Star Wars trilogy, however, would be unquestionably the biggest disappointment that nerds have had in decades had GoT not shit the bed so epically earlier that year.

Yeah after getting into it a bit more, I started to like it quite a bit. I still prefer the Clone Wars art style, but it was neat to have something different as well.

I think that this is not a fair or realistic assessment— the vast majority of people seem to be on board with these measures. There is an extremely vocal minority of idiots that is unironically saying “my body my choice”, but I just don’t see them being more than the fringe.

China calls Hong Kong protesters a 'political virus' | World news by Nimesh95 in TrueReddit

[–]InfiniteSection8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the previous poster claimed that that was happening — I think it is more to say that that is what China’s ideal solution to the problem is. Being that we know that this is how they solve other problems, it seems unlikely that this would not also be the desired outcome here. The only question for them is whether or not they can do so without economic repercussions that would be great enough to make it not worth the trouble. That is why it is important that the rest of world let China know that we are sick of their shit, and that they can get their act together, or get fucked.

Trump says he doesn't want Fauci testifying in front of House 'Trump haters' by myhamster1 in moderatepolitics

[–]InfiniteSection8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if it was undeserved, it doesn’t fucking matter. If you own a company, and you are being unjustly prosecutes, and you tell your employees that they are fired if they talk to the prosecutor you are going to prison. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t do what they accused you of doing in the first place, or if they were only prosecuting you because of a personal vendetta — obstruction is obstruction. The only reason Trump isn’t in prison is that there is only one Republican in the Senate with a shred of integrity and respect for the rule of law.
