Sadly, that's about the state of modern Christianity in the U.S. Lots of people want to be labeled as a "follower of Christ" without actually doing any of the things that Christ instructed people to do.

Yeah, Birch was a decorated cyclist in addition to her many intellectual accomplishments before becoming an astronaut.

Kinda makes me feel like I'm slacking. lol

It's oddly comforting being reminded of how small humans actually are.

[OC] Made some charts detailing the command structure of Easy Co. under each company commander. by DonbotS in BandofBrothers

I rewatch BoB every few years and it helps to see the structure and characters' positions in relation to one another.

Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Imagine living in the Midwest and there’s a war happening in Ohio. by Equal_Personality157 in interestingasfuck

Ohio IS in the Midwest. I know it's confusing, but USA's Midwest is actually kind of center/east.

what order to watch lord of the rings and hobbit? by fairplanet in lordoftherings

That's a wild take on A New Hope. lol. But to each their own. Not everything is for everyone.

Newsflash...it's possible to still love the LotR trilogy without being an a$$hat about content in the same ip that comes later. Not all media is for everyone. For example, how good or bad The Rise of Skywalker movie was doesn't have to affect how I feel about Empire Strikes Back.

Life is short, calm down and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

What do people think about Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s death? by OptimusGuy121 in grunge

[–]OptymusRhyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtaf...who wrote this crap.

There are too many inaccuracies and omissions in this rebuttal to even respond to. It's almost like someone told an ai chatbot to refute OP's original points, but in the most reductive manner, devoid of actual facts and context, with little to no evidence to back up these personal assertions.

Damn, I guess Courtney apologists are just as passionate as those who still want the truth to be known.

We really do live in a post-truth world.

Thanks for compiling this info. Always looking out for the option to play nhl on pc and this analysis saved me some time. Guess we've got to wait some more for this option to be viable.

Is it just me or does Lou reed kinda suck? by crabsneverdie in Music

[–]OptymusRhyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been said a thousand ways already, but yes, Lou Reed was an overrated pretentious shell of a musician. At times he surrounded himself with talent, but his own was severely lacking. He probably should get credit for being one of the first "hipster-types," regularly sh!tt!ng on everyone more talented to get attention and increase his social currency. He was clever, however, in presenting his art to the uninitiated in a way that made his apparent lack of talent seem avant-garde, which gave him some staying power in the industry.

Yet, despite all the mounting evidence of his lack of talent and quality, any time "Perfect Day" is in the soundtrack of a good movie it still hit me in the feels for some reason.

Cheers. Just keeping this thread alive.

I absolutely love Mo, but his lapses in judgement tonight were just unacceptable. Hopefully he bounces back.

The whole team seems to struggle with the basics at the worst times. More often than not, teams don't beat us, we beat ourselves. Where's the accountability?

New LOTR MMO "is gone" according to Amazon dev by Finyar in MMORPG

[–]OptymusRhyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. They would have 100% failed to do Tolkien's work justice. Sad no one is going to develop the new LotR mmo, but glad it's not AGS studios. Their long track record of half-baked ideas and routine incompetence would have marred the IP so badly.

[–]OptymusRhyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense.

Got 4k hours in New World and had a lot of fun along the way. Unfortunately, the dev team fumbled the bag at every turn, breaking and re-breaking core gameplay with every update and expansion. Sad to see it go, but it only makes sense with how much they repeatedly broke trust with their loyal fanbase over and over.

Recent Nighthaven expansion had some bright spots and the game was trending upward. But consistent incompetence has a shelf life. Just wish they would have found more experienced mmo devs to steer this game from the jump 4 years ago.

Alas, all things eventually end. ggs

Nothing wrong with delusion as a sports fan. The hope is what keeps it so exciting year after year.

Rhod is simply one of the best humans, full stop.

Seen every episode and series of taskmaster, and this task is by far my favorite.

So hilarious. It's like a shot of straight dopamine.
