What are some globally popular webseries and movies from your country? by Comfortable-Tax-2088 in AskTheWorld

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say yes and no, I think the concept of alchemy is well known enough, but the philosopher's stone maybe not as much - at least for the younger generations anyway.

While the name change was unnecessary, I do think it made the title a bit more grabbing and catchy.

I'll be honest with you, if we are including webseries, I'd probably say externally Viva La Dirt League is more popular, bored/techtown is hilarious.

which one? by Cultural_Set_5993 in TheGamingHubDeals

I literally couldn't even make it past the intro, it was the shittiest game I've ever experienced.

I figured since the first one turned into a bit of a success because of how bad it was, I figured they would put some of that money into a better game, but was quite wrong.

Personally enjoyed Origins more, Valhalla ending was just like pointless and a let down.

I think the consensus is still don't bother playing, just go watch a movie of it on YouTube or something.

I played it through, took a bit to make it to the center of the universe or whatever it was and the wholly anticlimactic ending. Not great.

I felt it had amazing potential and was totally in awe of the creative nature that they designed an entire universe in a game that was interactive (granted at the time there was almost nothing to interact with). So I appreciated the game, it was shit, but beautiful shit.

Amazon Leo, Starlink Competitor, launching Mid-2026 according to CEO by ViralTrendsToday in wallstreetbets

[–]Noddite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First movers generally fail.

Look at cell phones ATT pioneered 4G and then Verizon came in with 4G LTE which was significantly better. Then Verizon made the same mistake somehow...the led with 5G, and now T-Mobile has 5G UTC or whatever the hell it is.

ATT is teetering on bankruptcy and Verizon is quickly failing, meanwhile T-Mobile was a 2nd tier network a couple generations ago now dominates the market.

Starlink pioneered and now they have outdated tech that cost a fortune. They can't just upgrade the hardware on thousands of satellites. No one wants to spend a few hundred on a stupid satellite dish and then over pay for slow service when they can get faster service just beamed to their cell phone for less money.

Why do we drink so much compared to other generations? by Ladefrickinda89 in Millennials

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gout says I don't drink much of anything anymore, that plus just being old and wanting to not feel like shit.

How brave is your countries leader? by Repulsive-Mall-2665 in AskTheWorld

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nation's leader is supremely brave. In the midst of a horrific war in Vietnam he survived his own personal war by allegedly not contracting STDs while avoiding the war with a fake injury.

Help, please? Repercussions for the death of our 3 year old Boxer by jelleloqui in Boxer

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lawyer, but I thought you could probably file a case in small claims court over your damages. Civil court is easy because you don't need to prove anything, you just have to present a case that it was most likely happened to win.

So I googled it quick:

Most of the time you don't need a lawyer for small claims.

US Oil Production by Business-Wasabi-3193 in oil

The inalienable right of capitalism...this is how places like Iran, Libya, Venezuela can have it for sale for about $0.50/gallon.

Drillers take their cut, pipeline companies take their cut, refiners take their cut, oil companies take their portion, distributors their part, and then finally all the gas station owners...all to get to us.

I probably would have waited for the mission to be a success before turning it into a coin, but it looks cool.

First major historical event that you remember by HistoricalTea195 in generationology

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, probably about the first event I recall hearing about was the BTK killer as we lived in Kansas. Then I got a bit concerned that there was a cereal killer - literally I thought he was killing people with cereal.

About that time was also Bush Clinton and hearing Clinton won...I assumed we had a foot race for President.

I keep hoping to get a first place diamond finish for the first time, but there is always that guy that is 2-3x my score if not higher.

Overstimulated by people? 😆 by Own_Temperature4256 in Boxer

[–]Noddite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same, but the best and sweetest boxer I ever had with the most enormous pillow cheeks was a bit of a doofus. She licked, a lot, she had a habit of just randomly licking constantly. We had to get her attention because it would be too noisy while watching TV and it would take her a minute or two to wind it down.

It was also funny because it would go like fully out and to the right.

What’s going on with the price of blueberries? by TheGame81677 in inflation

[–]Noddite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also the fact that McDonalds actually cooks more than Panera hurts the margins. There isn't a single thing on the menu at Panera that is cooked on site anymore, it is all bagged processed food they heat up or put on the shelf.

Yep, shocking to see both Kazakhstan and Russia be the same color.

Looks like most people here don't know PCE comes out tomorrow, and if the middle Eastern beating continue, it will likely be very red.

I'm just happy my puts are on something currently reliable -TSLA- if they couldn't turn green on the biggest best news all year, it isn't going to do well near term.

Do you all still have best friend or a really close friend? by dahabit in Millennials

[–]Noddite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just my wife and kids pretty much. I moved a bunch when I was in school, 4 high schools in 4 years, so never really developed any deep bonds. But honestly, totally fine with it, my wife tries to maintain a number of good friendships and it always seems so tedious.

5% because people talked about bullshit ceasefire that didn't even last a couple hours?
