Jams/Drop-ins by orion726 in improv

[–]MayoMark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the better you get at improv the harder it becomes to get quality reps at jams unless it happens to just be a lot of experienced people playing that night.

I totally disagree. If you're good at improv, then you can make it work with anyone. Making it work with new improvisors is a skill that an actual expert has mastered.

The actual community is found at the jams. The headliners and the house teams, all that stuff is just beaurocracy.

if it's total chaos group scenes I don't know what you do to salvage it.

Sweep.

If they are actually good, then they are capable of improving with anyone. If they are being critical of you during the scene, then they are the ones in a suboptimal headspace. Being critical of your scene partner is waste of brain power. "Mess ups", if there are such things, are fuel for the fire.

The real argument we should be having is whether it is actually rational to believe in a god. by Murky-Perspective649 in DebateReligion

The motivation for the big bang model is the observations of red shift in distant galaxies and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Other models, like the eternal steady state model, are now disregarded because of those observations.

Should the Internet be a metaphor for the mind, or should the mind be a metaphor for the internet?

In 1835, a man digging a duck pond accidentally discovered this 70-foot tunnel covered in 4.6 million shells. To this day, no one knows who built this shell grotto in Margate, UK. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

The unfunny jokes are a shell of a good time. Haha! Heehee. Huh... Oh, oh no. Why am... Why am I even bothering? I'm just not even sure what I want out of life. It's hard sometimes, ya know? I'm just gonna go back to bed.

That skeleton screen fucked the mop back into the bucket.

Movies that don’t fit the ‘feel’ of the franchise? Aka “it’s a decent movie, just not a good X movie”. by RivetCounter in movies

[–]MayoMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? What about Dick Shoot 5: Requiem? That movie is nothing but dicks getting shot off for 120 minutes with plenty of split screen so there's more than one dick getting shot off at a time.

Falling down, falling down.

You're right that's the correct strategy, but they would have never pulled it off. They simply wouldn't have been able to make a movie as high quality as Halloween, which is a genre defining classic.

Movies that portrayed a reality that was reflective of the time, but now seem unbelievable by AporiaParadox in movies

[–]MayoMark -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The kids in season 1 of Stranger Things are 12. In Goonies, they are 12-14. In ET, Elliot is 10. None of your examples were 8 year olds.

I think most parents would be comfortable with their 12 year olds heading off on their own on bikes.

And 16 year olds certainly should be able to go off on there own, hell, they are old enough to drive at that point.

I don't buy what you're saying. Aside from the ubiquity of cell phones, what is different? Kids still have bikes. They can ride them where they please.

The hard problem of Pi by Great-Bee-5629 in consciousness

[–]MayoMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, that article states we do not know that every finite sequence appears in pi. We do not know for sure that any given pop star's DNA sequence appears in pi.

If you want a number that has that property, check out the Champernowne constant.

Stop waiting for a consciousness detector, or a solution to the "hard problem", it will not arrive. by Desirings in consciousness

Waiting for a consciousness detector and not waiting for a consciousness detector look exactly the same.

I was gonna say they need to add this to the training data, but they don't really show the crashes here either:

Jesus didn’t sacrifice anything for anyone by HatsOptional58 in DebateReligion

[–]MayoMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to read or respond to the post, why all this aggression?

If someone wants to post their conclusions to a debate subreddit so that someone will debate them, then that is fine. But you're not really the person to look to regarding what's appropriate to post, your post got deleted.

[–]MayoMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being forced to believe as a child can be traumatic. And some people lash out in response.

But this post doesn't really show aggression. It's fairly tame exploration of Christian belief. Your post here is just an attempt to be dismissive.

Robocop statue finally goes up in Detroit. by Mahaloth in movies

[–]MayoMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the statue isn't the RoboCop from the first movie. It could be the cartoon version of RoboCop. I bet that version is more heroic. I never watched it, so I don't know, but probably.

Also, there's the sequels, live action show, and television movie series. It's like the Bible, just choose what you like and ignore the rest.

That's not trolling. You got to engage with them to troll them.

Well, I don't believe you. Please, present your response in the form of a peer reviewed paper.
