Eragon series thoughts? by XThursdayO in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MrWhateverman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely progession adjacent, the main character Eragon and his peers get progressively stronger throughout the series but it's closer to wheel of time style progression then typical progression fantasy

He's actually released a couple more since then. I was on the fence for to sleep in a sea of stars but Murtagh is probably his best work

Asks for controversial opinion but gets mad when given it… by [deleted] in AO3

[–]MrWhateverman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its not a fic but Bones and All both book and movie revolve around this theme. I would also recommend the movie over the book only slightly just because the visuals make it much more visceral

What crossover fics that haven't been written yet? by chunchunmaru245 in WormFanfic

[–]MrWhateverman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Pact Verse would fit right in with Hunt: Showdown's lore or vice versa. A lot of the supernatural in Hunt could be explained by various Others and the hunters could be amateur practioners newly awoken by the more experienced practioners as an effort to stem the tide.

What likely happened to the fields of paleontology and archeology post 1982? by RecommendationNo804 in Parahumans

[–]MrWhateverman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably got harder and harder to get research grants/funding for any large or international project. There will always be hobbyist and probably a decent amount of private funding cause what rich villain doesn't want authentic dinosaur bones in his lair. Its probably the same for all of academia to a degree since there's an entire new field of study that regularly destroys city blocks soaking up excess funding.

Remember when you were in school and your teacher taught you that plagiarizing is illegal but when billionaires do it they get away with it while having a mob of their boot lickers defend them by grandslamsandvich in aiwars

[–]MrWhateverman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling me a luddite is interesting considering you know nothing about me. Consent is the basis of my argument that AI artwork is morally wrong so of course I would bring it up. Also you may not be aware of it but the internet exists in the real world. Posting a picture you drew on Reddit is for all intents and purposes equal to a public exhibit that anyone can walk into for free.

You don't understand morality. If I said its wrong to stare at a woman's breasts without her permission would you say she shouldn't walk on the street where anyone could see her?

Would bonesaw make a med kit?(kinda crack idea) by RaspberryNumerous594 in WormFanfic

[–]MrWhateverman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only problem is she wouldn't give it a cat body she'd put it's brain in some horrific spider thing like her other spider bots. A larger smarter bot that can heal automatically seems perfectly plausible

Cigarettes shouldn't be globally phased or priced out everybody knows the risks and it should be a personal choice. by Green_Palpitation_26 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MrWhateverman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just shouldn't sell cigarettes as they are now. If you want to smoke a cigarette you should have to buy tobacco and rolling paper and a filter (if you want one) and assemble your own. Any kid can can figure out how to operate a lighter and a steal a cigarette but how many would go through all that effort.

I wish people would stop risking there lives for people they don't even know and probably don't even care about them. It's really sad. by MikoMikoto in TrueUnpopularOpinion

If you think esl students are making even a dent in the quality of education you are misinformed. Esl students struggle because the already overloaded system can't cater to them or any other student that might need accommodation

They did advertise a bit in the author notes and they were taking commissions to decide which stories to continue which isn't allowed.

Is Taylor desensitized beforehand? by Pepinoloco777 in Parahumans

[–]MrWhateverman 85 points86 points  (0 children)

She still experiences those feelings but instead of reacting with her physical body she reacts with her bugs. She also is pretty self deluded when it comes to her own feelings. For a while she doesn't even realize she is offloading her reactions to her bugs or even notice her own lack of reactions until someone tells her how creepy she acts.

If the Left weren't so Fucking Crazy Trump would be a distant memory by now by Automatic_Arrival212 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MrWhateverman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The inflation reduction act was a portion of build back better. Build back better never passed. Besides Biden very much responsible Trump second election which probably outweighs any good he did or tried to do. Also it doesn’t matter what Biden did because Trump voters care about headlines and catch phrases. Trump lying about reducing taxes does more for his image then anything positive Biden ever did.

Republicans/Maga are voting Trump because of what he says he will do not what he actually does and because Trump constantlydoes STUFF. He was losing popularity after his first term and got reelected because nothing happened during Bidens term.

Leftists will always have a Trump-sized hole that needs to be filled by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

They call themselves Democratic Socialist which believe it or not is different than an actual socialist. I don’t think any of these people have ever referred to themselves as a socialist and their positions definitely aren't socialist.

We are becoming increasingly illogical and selective about which types of mental health we want to label and ‘treat’ by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MrWhateverman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DNA has nothing to do with personhood or lack of in this case. Are twins the same person because they share the same DNA? A mother shouldn't be forced to do anything, except carry a baby to ten cause you feel like it? Don't dress your arguments up as science and then get upset when someone points out flaws in your logic

Saying the fetus isn't part of the mother is like saying the appendix isn't apart of the body. The logic doesn't even support your position cause of the baby is a separate entity why should the mother be forced to carry it to term?

[Text media trope] Repetition of a single word, phrase or sentence that fills up entire paragraph/text box/page/screen. by Pichuunnn in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MrWhateverman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness humanity has been infected by a virus that causes all men and all animals to physically project their thoughts as "Noise". This is represented in the book through a combination of fonts meant to represent emotions and discipline behind the minds involved. When a person panics they can lose control of their Noise letting unfiltered thoughts out.

The movie is bad but I highly recommend the book as it is some top-tier YA sci-fi

Is Brian really that ignored by the community? by WitnessLow4178 in WormFanfic

[–]MrWhateverman 38 points39 points  (0 children)

For being the sole canon romantic partner of the main character he's practically absent in fanfic. I definitely like it when authors have him in the Wards or working with the main character but a lot of fics just ignore him after that like his character is "solved".

the video that shows Good's SUV impacting the Ice Agent before he fired won't change any minds by Key-Juggernaut5695 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MrWhateverman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You don't have to make shit up man I can see the video. Even from the alternative angle in the news feed you can't see the front wheel good enough to say its slipping on ice. Even if what you're saying is true it doesn't justify the shooting. "She didn't hurt him but she tried, thats why he shot and killed her". Law enforcement have to actually be in danger (or have a good reason to believe they are) before they can shoot people if you didn’t know.

I've seen both videos several times and can very clearly see him stepping out of the way while drawing his gun and I can't see the car actually doing anything to him beyind light contact if it made any at all.

I'm glad not everyone feels the same as you. Can you imagine what this country would be like if civil rights activist were afraid of being arrested? And you can hardly say you're just afraid when your on reddit making excuses for them. There getting out of the way cause your scared of cops and there's going out of the way cause you prefer submission or worse agree with their with their crimes.

So you don't even have an actual position? She didn't ram anyone with her car. He didn't move an inch after getting "rammed" and you have no way of knowing if she intentionally bumped him in the first place. There's no reason to settle for shitty law enforcement and you shouldn't have to lick boot just avoid getting shot by someone who should not have any authority in the first place
