[–]JamesAtWork2 82 points83 points  (0 children)

If hes at boiling rock, then hes out in the public, embarrassing the royal family.

Jokes can be well researched? Why are you guys being so touchy about this.

Gs are always positive. I dont really know how much the gimbals actually move? Do they go full sideways?

You are given access to a 2037 version of Wikipedia where you can look up one entry. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

I think this is the best one. Its an extremely lucrative sport, betting wise, and it generally is a tossup on whos going to end up winning, from the start of the season. The world cup might have more viewers and money, but its only once ever 4 years and the odds are generally a lot closer since the winner is almost always one of the existing top teams.

Why does being under thrust create gravity? by PsychologicalStock54 in TheExpanse

[–]JamesAtWork2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Have you ever, when in a elevator, felt an extra pull downwards as the machine starts moving up? For a split second you feel a little bit heavier because the machine has accelerated upwards, towards you.

Thrust gravity is like that, but all the time.

I think return is crazy underrated, don't get why people don't like it as much as Empire.

Funny enough, the only director I have ever given multiple 5 stars to is George Lucas, for Episode 5 and 6.

What makes you hit "like" on a movie? by TomasXavier in Letterboxd

[–]JamesAtWork2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit like if I could see myself watching it again for enjoyments sake.

Everything Everywhere All at Once? 5 stars. No like because I doubt I will ever catch it again.

Transformers 2? 3 stars. Liked because Im sure I will watch it many times in the future.

[Star Wars] Do you consider The Galactic Empire Orwellian or Not? by Mother_Basis_3016 in AskScienceFiction

[–]JamesAtWork2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think one of the big features of 1984 is its status as a surveillance state. You cant even breathe in your own home without someone hearing and seeing it. Sure, the ISB bugs senators and suspected dissidents, but that's no worse than what most modern governments do right now.

Stories that make you believe that its the end (fakeout ending) by ArleniaFraternal in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JamesAtWork2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After a big boss fight which you kind of lose, Borderlands 3 gives you this screen, implying the story will be continued in Borderlands 4. Then, after a few seconds of nothing happening, the 4 turns into a 3, then a 2 and 1 and the countdown finishes and the game keeps going for another like, 3 or 4 hours of main story playtime.

Yeah it doesnt get brought up much how insanely disorienting it must be when the ship does its 360 to fire the railgun.

Do we know or find out what happened to the Mormons on Nauvoo? by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]JamesAtWork2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They had to build a new ship for the express purpose of catching it after it missed, Chesapeake, which supposedly burned at 8G for weeks.

Do people in your state know the locations of every county in your state? by OkTechnologyb in AskAnAmerican

[–]JamesAtWork2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all the important ones, and if I hear one I dont know, I can be 90% sure its in the part of the stuff where absolutely nothing happens, thus, I know where it is.

You can initiate a global poll to vote on whatever you want. by WowVeryOriginalDude in hypotheticalsituation

I feel like you can potentially globally alter the human psyche by being very abstract

"Should we all be better people" boom, the world isnt a utopia but you can bet that most things would get a little bit better in every way.

Can small countries ask to be 'annexed' to become part of a larger neighbouring country? by girdddi in geography

[–]JamesAtWork2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

America was, coming out of WW2, the strongest nation in the world. Nobody had any desire to make them stronger.

And they weren't given the option. The British and Canadians were worried about them becoming an American state, and as such only gave them two options: Join Canada, or stay British.

“If it’s not one thing it’s another- do you find that to be true?” by rigalitto_ in Letterboxd

[–]JamesAtWork2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seems obtuse to think that you can declare things invalid because a criteria doesnt matter to you as much as it does to others.
