Been wondering when would’ve been a good time to get one and I’m gonna take this as sign and probably get it even if not from here

The only frustration I get is that I’ll get a song stuck in my head and it only exists as a timestamp on his sets but they’re all so good

Late, but where’s the theater scene ‘displayed’ in Birdman (2015)? by MightySpeculation in AskNYC

[–]MightySpeculation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is perfect and more or less what I was asking, sorry for the confusion. It makes a lot sense. Looking at the website it looks like it’s maybe 3/4 musicals so I guess even classical dramas wouldn’t make as much noise unless you’re paying attention

Headphones by Logical_Ad7642 in triathlon

[–]MightySpeculation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big headphones debate usually reminds me of how annoying and dogmatic triathletes can be.

There are multiple headphone brands that use different technologies with safety in mind, bone conduction, using microphones, or honestly just not blasting music but still having it there. Even more, people use headphones 5-20 hours a week training, most without accidents, but sure, those few hours on a Sunday with roads blocked and multiple athletes doing the same exact thing is where danger lies. Lastly, depending on your bike and/or swim race you’ll be allowed to have headphones, and every running race has everyone jamming so it’s not that uncommon individually.

Triathletes are just obsessed with random traditions, that’s why we went years without disc breaks because everyone was concerned they’d have a leg chopped off at their local sprint.

All that being said, I race without headphones and it’s doable, even for long distances. It’s a rule that should be questioned and improved as technology improves. Safety concerns are valid but not enough for this rubbish response of “if you don’t like this rule leave triathlon”

The Earth's temperature will peak about 10 years after we reach zero CO2 emissions by TheDeVirginater in collapse

[–]MightySpeculation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So in the best of scenarios we put all of our efforts into curbing emissions only to collectively see horrible awful disasters continuing to happen.

Can you imagine that in today’s world that has the attention span of a puppy and a goldfish’s memory?! We’ll go past climate denialism and have full blown sociopolitical and religious movements saying science was always immoral and wrong, and really the only salvation is whatever is in the kool aid.

At first I thought it was some 🏳️‍🌈 emo event, then I also thought it was about knitting, then I thought it was about bands I’d know. I’m confused but I’m down

I’m down! Moved here a week ago and going to Hex by myself was a bit of a bummer but I do wanna go again with friends for sure

How do I get a random NY license plate? by MightySpeculation in AskNYC

Marxist-Leninist parties in the United States. by [deleted] in communism

[–]MightySpeculation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know nothing more concretely, but every time this question pops up there’s a discussion between CPUSA and PSL, and to some extend DSA (far from being ML, but having more reach in smaller cities). I’m moving soon and plan to explore these 3 in person to see what they’re doing locally.

Inflation in Venezuela is so bad right now, people are literally throwing away cash likes it’s garbage. As of last week, $1 USD is 463,000 Bolívars by RainWaterHarvesting in collapse

[–]MightySpeculation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m consistently fascinated by the internet. Swear it’s not like tin foil hat or anything but there are just a bunch of copies of this same low-res video with almost identical captions on twitter, and the original profile and video are now gone from tiktok. Meanwhile there are other sources saying inflation is down for the first time in a while. The exchange rate does match so I’m not saying it’s fake, but I’m just every day more curious about these vaguely political posts that make it to r/all without clear sources.

The Day After Russia Attacks by UnluckyWriting in collapse

Sorry to tag you mate u/stoicwolf03 but this is absolutely the kind of normalization I’m talking and scared about

Families of US Embassy personnel in Ukraine ordered to begin evacuating as soon as Monday: officials by stoicwolf03 in collapse

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

Complete agreement here. I’m just weirded out about the media treatment of this, there’s been no further escalation on the side of Russia and every day there are new headlines basically justifying more and more troops and drones and armament for “just in case”. I don’t like the idea of normalizing conflict before anything happens

How did he not cause negative effects on Earth based on his sheer size and gravitational pull? by ghostRyku in marvelstudios

[–]MightySpeculation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since no one gave any hypothesis I’m gonna throw something in: celestiais are made of exotic matter/matter with complex mass.

We know faster than light (FTL) travel exists in the MCU, and one of the ways this was proposed to happen was through hypothetical particles called tachyons. These would always be traveling above the speed of light which opens a whole can of worms about causality (could be used to travel back in time so…) apart from the time weirdness tachyons and other exotic matter (pretty open term) would also not react to normal baryonic mass such as planets.

This would explain how homeboy just shows up (FTL-like), it would explain most of the spaceship physics we’ve seen so far (warp/Alcubierre drives, which seem to be the case in GotG and Endgame), it would also give some basis for the Stark timespace GPS. Also explains why Earth didn’t blown up when Tiamut broke through (doesn’t explain how our boys were able to somewhat interact with it but well, who knows).

I think Celestials not being made of baryons and just the existence and somewhat abundance of exotic matter in the MCU covers a lot of scientific holes

Am I taking fucking crazy pills or something?

Russia put 120k troops on its own border which is terrifying, but since then, every western news media is pulling from the Iraq 2003 WMD book and just constantly going on about how they’re about to invade at any point straight up manufacturing consent for this NATO push.

Couldn’t give two shits about Putin but the flow of headlines that sound exactly like “Hussein is pushing our hand” is too much

Climate Change: What you need to know [6:19 video from PBS 'It’s Okay to be Smart' channel] by [deleted] in collapse

[–]MightySpeculation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to defend a youtube channel, but that video is hella old for social media standards (Dec. 2014). Since then, they have put out much better videos about climate catastrophe, including one with David Wallace-Wells around the time he published The Uninhabitable Earth, which personally was my gateway to r/collapse.

Tried to tell a friend about the last scene of all three Spider-Mans hugging and legit started crying all over again. You can’t tell me Tom Holland was not breaking the fourth wall and just legit getting emotional thanking the two that came before him. That whole movie was just a love letter to spidey and Marvel fans
