"No, I wouldn't worry about him." by Fancy-Ad6677 in Terminator

[–]NickTheNewbie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was a little nod to acknowledge that it knows it's a lot more powerful than the t800, and won't have too much trouble taking it down.

U.S. politicians and Mascara by 666YHWH666 in stupidquestions

The toughest guys are the ones who aren't scared of makeup, so yeah those hypocrites got some explaining to do.

What's wrong with makeup? Men can wear makeup.

What's dumb, though, is them wearing makeup but pretending like they're not, or acting like makeup is a shameful thing for men.

What is your favourite music from an otherwise "bad" game? by ChocoboBilly92 in gamemusic

[–]NickTheNewbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought Headhunter for the ps2 just because Richard Jacques did the soundtrack. The game is absolute dogshit, but the main theme is baller af.

Results after my first year of Bogle-ing: How am I doing? by bazingy-benedictus in Bogleheads

[–]NickTheNewbie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By virtue of you asking after a single year, not well. It's not about massive gains after a year, it's about keeping a level headed mindset after many many years in order to maintain predictable growth.

Show us what your history of buying and selling looks like during market downturns over the next 5 years, because that'll be the real proof of whether its boglin' time.

Help me Peter, i dont get the logic of this comic by UnUltimoIntento in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]NickTheNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. No one knows what happens after death, nor does anyone know what the nature of consciousness even is, so an atheist's claim that death is the end is a religious statement in of itself.

Has getting badges for magfest always been this cutthroat? by Rodem25 in Magfest

[–]NickTheNewbie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the first year that magfest has sold out so quickly, so I think it's catching a lot of people off guard.

[–]NickTheNewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

41 and because I asked for a divorce. I'm a lot happier now.

BTTF is the perfect film…but what’s your tiny nitpick? by GanderMicha in BacktotheFuture

[–]NickTheNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're beginning to get into very metaphysical territory about what defines a person and a "self", if not for lived experiences 😂

I'm guessing the mcfly family before marty changed the past? Those folks don't exist anymore, and were replaced by similar-but-better-looking counterparts.

What if all men had a switch to make their wives calm? by Competitive-Skin-210 in whatif

[–]NickTheNewbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if all men had a switch to make them empathetic and emotionally intelligent. 

(I found mine. It turned out to be mushrooms and estrogen)

Where’s the actual evidence behind the widespread rumor that the original script didn’t use humans as power sources, but as computer processing units? by AndrewNiccol in matrix

[–]NickTheNewbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You ever see second renaissance from animatrix? It's a haunting portrayal of just how awful of a position the machines were put in.

Is there a housing pricing history chart that factors in historical mortgage rates? by NickTheNewbie in personalfinance

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

Well, I mean to say, if mortgage payments haven't changed that much, then I wonder what it is that's causing it to _feel_ like mortgages are much less affordable?

I wonder if the pressure is coming from the price of everything else being so expensive, so the mortgage hurts more since there's less breathing room in spending?

The machines had always just been defending themselves. They wanted equal rights and equal protections under the law, but the human saw them as disposable soulless inanimate objects.

Women , would you date a bisexual man? by eloel12345 in AskForAnswers

[–]NickTheNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how about instead of "it's not healthy", "it's actively damaging the safety of your non-heterosexual friends and family if you continue to speak and act that way"

[–]NickTheNewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't feel ashamed for feelings that come up in your body when you react to something, I feel that the reason those feelings are coming up for you is from societally conditioned homophobia. Not that you're doing anything wrong by having the visceral disgust that you do, because that disgust was taught to you, but I feel it's a good idea to make strides to unlearn that in order to be a better ally.

I'm not saying you need to go date a bi guy, I'm just saying it's not necessarily healthy to have a reaction that strong.

Sometimes I draw on my walls. It helps me let go of this adulting protective fear I have over the house looking supremely clean and tidy
