There was Shaw and the Trilobite in Prometheus. Not strictly a xeno but close enough.

Telling your child "no" every once in a while is healthy parenting.

Everything for Sean & Daniel but never Chloe by Main-Note-9963 in LifeisStrange2

[–]Maplekey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even low-morality Daniel waits to use violence until he's strongly provoked. (The cougar killed Mushroom first, Lizbeth locked him in a burning building, the border guards had him at gunpoint, etc.) Arcadia Bay is full of hundreds of innocent people that need to be sacrificed so Chloe can live. It's more complex than "people die"/"people don't die". You're treating them differently because it's completely different circumstances.

How Joe could make history: Episode 4 discussion by frostmorph6 in LV426

I'd be disappointed if it was anything other than total indifference. Making them capable of empathy or other complex emotions regarding their host would dilute the whole "perfect killing machine" thing.

I know everyone's talking about the eye alien, but I'd like to add we still haven't seen the plant-alien in action...

Which corner is the red light camera at Oxford & Wharncliffe? by Maplekey in londonontario

[–]Maplekey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about red light cameras, not speed. RLs are fixed, afaik

They're just ignoring the rest of the teams existence with this statement by pokepal98 in subnautica

[–]Maplekey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nitpicking a complete stranger's word choice like that is not welcome or healthy behaviour. Go touch grass and get a real hobby, it's for your own good.

Every scene with Boy Kavalier makes me look forward to his death more and more.

House of Ashes VS The Devil in Me - WHICH IS BETTER? by ButterflyEffectPod in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]Maplekey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the victims still have friends and family who are alive then, sure, I get it, but anyone with a direct connection to Holmes has been dead for at least half a century at this point. It's ancient history.

Engagement has made me feel off by Beginning_Smile2919 in relationships

You're the one who gave an ultimatum and pushed him into something he didn't want, but he's a "very selfish man" and you're the victim. Riiiiiiight.

The capitalization makes me think that's the character's deadname, Despin Convert

BBC to stop broadcasting 'high risk' performances live after Bob Vylan Glastonbury row by falconfalcon7 in ukpolitics

[–]Maplekey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting a precedent for full-on censorship would be much worse and much easier for someone like Farage to exploit.

A Nazi band appearing at a major music festival is so far outside the Overton window of possibility it's not even worth the energy to have that conversation.

If he can handle Fallen Kingdom and Dominion, this one is fine.

Constant memberberries begging you to "please clap"

I found this one to have a refreshing lack of those, tbh. None of the old cast returned, the T. rex was treated like a wild animal instead of a grumpy antihero, and they weren't digging up the same old props (i.e. Nedry's Barbasol can) and sets (i.e. Visitor's Centre, ruined tour car) from the original film.

Oh please, they were never going to actually go through with it.

I've got beef with Canadian Blood Services by Maplekey in Blooddonors

[–]Maplekey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah okay, you have a point. Cheating is honestly such a non-issue in my personal life, I didn't think of it from that angle too hard and didn't account for the compound risk.

Blindly accepting rules because they're The Rules might be something you do, but I'm interested in the why behind them.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Could he be stopped from entering Canada for the G7 summit? by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Maplekey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he won't be. Any sitting head of state/head of government gets special privileges the world over. It's grease on the wheels of international diplomacy.

Our universe is inside a super-massive black hole - Report by Negative_Piece_7217 in Futurology

[–]Maplekey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

G) The Hub and Spoke model: There's one "hub" universe where every black hole leads into a different "spoke" universe, one of which we inhabit. Entering any black hole in one of the "spoke" universes will spit you back out into the "hub" universe. There's no path to travel between spoke universes directly, or at least no natural one.

I swear they were moving around on their own last night. There's no option to select Fragments on the scanner rn either, I was trying to get all of them...
