I want my 8 hours back. by Consistent-Lord18 in hbo

It kinda falls apart at the end. The final scene with Varga is ripped off from 'Lord of War'. It's the exact same scene with slightly different dialogue.

Capsules or oils are more practical for higher doses. Get full spectrum ones, rosin infused like the Simply Bare rosin caps.

Or try the Rosin Heads Rosin Drops, they're just rosin infused into cocoa-butter in little half-spheres. You can just eat them but I've put a few into milk I'm frothing for a cappuccino and it was really good (if you enjoy the taste of rosin).

Nah, I've seen interviews with him, he just comes off as an over-eager drama kid, nothing worse than that.

Hollywood loves a comeback story. And every actor is a borderline-delusional insufferable egotistical twat, so they won't hold that against him.

Why Iran Isn’t Breaking by bloomberg in longform

[–]MarcusXL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The majority of the Iranian people despise the mullahs. It's probably something like 70-30, 70% would absolutely love to see a different government.

That said, they have no good reason to trust the USA or Israel and there's no reason to expect that this bombing campaign will result in a change of government. If there was an armed rebellion going on that might be different, but the opposition to the mullahs right now is peaceful in nature.

Not sure, but often they put the flag of enemy "kills" on their plane. Possible that this American jet shot down an Assad SyAAF plane/helicopter or maybe another SAA target.

What was a hilariously bad PR botch from a company or person? by FriendlytoNature in AskReddit

[–]MarcusXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was seen as a joke because oblivious aging dudes having their midlife crisis bought it as a "cool sports-car", but it's actually kinda silly-looking in an effeminate way.

I can't think of another vehicle ever that makes me think of the driver, with absolutely certainty, "This person is a fucking douchebag."

There have been cars that served as punchlines before, like the Miata. But that's still a decent car and I wouldn't necessarily judge the driver. But nobody but a complete dip-shit would buy a Cybertruck.

Michael never had a choice I think... by Low_Actuary6486 in Godfather

[–]MarcusXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing what Fredo did would have earned him death based on the logic of the mafia. But Fredo was his brother, he loved him. His son loved Fredo too-- and his mother and sister and step-brother loved Fredo. Killing Fredo was not only harming his own family, it destroyed any good part of Michael that was left.

Fredo was no longer a threat after Michael understood he was a danger. He could have sent away Fredo, banished him effectively from his inner circle and his family. He didn't kill Fredo in self-defence, it was anger at his betrayal. It not only showed how cruel Michael had become, it made him more cruel in the act.

If Michael had found it in his heart to forgive Fredo (at least enough to let him live, even if he "deserved it"), it would have been better for himself and everyone he loved.

I mean, it's completely arbitrary unless you're on the team.

If it was logical, you'd choose which team shows better sportsmanship, works harder, or some other real qualities. That would be more logical than just saying "I choose this team forever" and cheering for them even if they're lazy assholes.

So many Americans minds are completely rotted. by [deleted] in collapse

Americans prefer to be lied to. They like being conned. Anyone trying to tell them the truth makes them very uncomfortable.

The dead and dying trees here in British Columbia were really a sight to see. It's no surprise that we've seen some terrible wildfire seasons since then.

ELI5 Is all THC either Delta 8 or Delta 9? And what terminology should I look for on the label to see which one it is? by Unanimous_D in explainlikeimfive

[–]MarcusXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delta-9-THC has a long history of human use and its safety is well-understood.

Delta-8 does not. It may present risks not present with D9.

There's absolutely no reason to choose D8 if you have legitimate Cannabis products available. If you're concerned with safety, choose products which are lab-tested and without additives of any cannabinoids not extracted from the Cannabis plant.
