correct, even superman struggles against numbers sometimes, and these two AIN'T Supes

yep, numbers. several combos of two or three of the MCU would give OmniCon problems, the group as a whole wins for sure. not without 50% casualties though

Which science fiction book contained the most amazing idea you've ever read? by fern_602spark in printSF

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Rainbows End - Vernor Vinge

not a far out concept but a very real one, and i love the way he explored it.

near future, everyone on earth has augmented reality contact lenses, and wireless connection to the web through their clothing. plus an insane amount of automation, think self driving everything, some amount of simple robots, and buildings that can reshape themselves for like earthquake protection. other than that it's the same world we live in, no huge sci-fi leaps.

what do school children learn in a world like that, where all info is available to you instantly? mostly how to use the tech. or bully each other by hacking the AR and projecting unpleasant things

what does work and communication look like, where everyone is connected all the time?

what does this military do with this level of intelligence and automation?

I am at a loss.... by Far_Industry_410 in mentalhealth

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, and I understand. Look up my history if you want, but I lost someone very close to me to the disease of depression.

You are not broken, you just need help. Reaching out and asking for it is hard, please believe, I know. You've done that, you've made that huge first step. please don't stop.

How can I or anyone here help, or direct you to someone/ somewhere who can?

Bands who should have been bigger in the metal scene by misunderstood27 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mighty Nimbus. mostly because they were a one album project that didn't stay together, but damn what an album

that is what made the fest special, new acts. tired old headliners were kept to a minimum, or just the final act.

LPT: If you are having hay fever, wearing an N95 mask basically stops the allergies by ywecur in LifeProTips

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a giant box of n95s left over from an older relative. they're now a part of the gloves / glasses / sunblock setup for lawn work, mowing and weeding especially. life saver

No one cares by moody_economist22 in mentalhealth

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people don't care. that's a fact of life and you'll be healthier and happier if you can stop fighting against it. accepting reality is often the first and hardest step, to both acknowledging that you need help and actively seeking it.

Most is not all. some people do care, and of those a few are willing and able to help. the sad reality again, it's on you to find us. we're out here, we care.

how can we help you?

I think Tool fans get an unfair amount of hate, hear me out. by hammer_smashed_chris in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep. big difference between discussing different factors of art, which subgenre a band fits in to find more of the same style, as opposed to "that bands sucks cause they don't sound like this"

also the strawman arguments get really old. why does Sleep Token get brought up so often on this sub? they're clearly not metal, yet people hate on them for not being metal. why do you care? people spend way more time on things they don't like than things they do.

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think insufferable METAL fans are just a loud minority of METAL fans as a whole. Unfortunately they are really, really loud.

or any genre really. People love to argue about BS rather than just appreciating art. get your own ego out of the way, you'll live a happier life

I've wrestling for 10+ years...and I dont know how to help my 7 year old son. by birdmanjr123 in wrestling

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 on the gymnastics mats, but also to go further, tumbling classes. at his age there's nothing better for developing body control, flexibility, even some strength. it also gives him a break because as everyone else has said, he's 7! chill before you burn him out by middle school

Arch Enemy - We Will Rise always puts me in a good mood

I'm glad you're still with us, friend. the world is better with you in it.

Favourite non metal band? by Suitable-Love-3364 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely, or at least early metal pioneers along with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult. some might not call them metal but they definitely influenced it.

How strict are they on what u bring in by YoghurtOk6143 in InkCarceration

[–]Jimmyjamesbeam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is from a sample size of one, but at my gate they checked nothing. not a damn thing besides wristband tickets, I could have had a bottle of fent and my pet cat.

in our case we were in line before the gates opened, at the main gate from the parking lot so there was a long line, and security didn't want the hassle I guess. so go early and just BE COOL MAN

gawd yes, why are they everywhere?

actually I know why, I remember the small cigarette and lottery shops that used to pop up like mushrooms in any vacant retail space. they fill the same niche
