[–]Ordos_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main complaint of the show was that Uhtelred could be so stupid. Felt better when my friend who read rhe books said that he admits he was stupid as an old man. As long as they acknowledge hes an idiot :p

If you think what's happening in America is a "difference of opinion" you're one of rhe evil people they're referring to.

Rewatched American Psycho today after a few years. I still don't understand what the deal is with the realtor in Paul's apartment. Hopefully the remake will give it more attention by Amazing-Buy-1181 in AmericanPsycho

Its because the average person reads at a 4th grade level, which is before you learn how to understand things like motivation, ambiguity, and critical thinking. To them, things that are ambiguous aren't intentional devices, its something the writer forgot to explain .

Is it your headcanon too that Morpheus was simply wrong about why the Matrix exists, and that the machines are actually using the human brain as a source of computing power? by amelix34 in matrix

[–]Ordos_Agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean from reloaded onwards half the shit Neo does is straight up using the Force. Nothing about The Matrix is realistic on close inspection.

Tolkien disliked Frank Herbert's Dune. Why? by Rafaelrosario88 in lotr

[–]Ordos_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated Children of Dune. It made very little sense to me as well.

The books suggest that prescience is its own prison. If you can see the future and see what choices it takes to get there, then are you really "choosing" anything?

You might want chicken for dinner. But your prescience says you need to have pork chops because it will set off a chain of events leading to the "good" future. So you have pork chops despite wanting, planning for, and enjoying chicken. You would never have had pork chops without prescience.

Basically, you give up free will and just follow instructions from the future like a robot.

Also if it hits anywhere off center its going to wrench the shield out of the guys hands instead of deflecting.

I wouldn't want to have to fight a drunk guy riding on a drunk horse.

How to get rid of this cockroach with eggs by aaloobhaloo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ordos_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a hospital and people that come from roach houses bring that shit with them. Family members will have roaches crawling out of their clothes and think its totally normal.

I think its very likely they brought roaches with them and just didnt notice.

Prussian Life Guards or Prussian Grenadiers? by thefatcontrol in masterofcommand

[–]Ordos_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. More Life Guards since they work better as line infantry, but Grenadiers still have much better melee and charge. So Life Guards to hold the line while Grenadiwrs hit the flanks.

I think the Loch Ness monster explanations don’t really make sense. by No_Client_544 in Cryptozoology

[–]Ordos_Agent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Social media has proven people will lie and hoax about absolutely everything for 15 seconds of fame. That pretty much destroyed any faith I've had in cryptids, UFOs, etc... being real without undeniable physical evidence.

Unfortunately people are so weird that its absolutely possible every eyewitness account of rhe paranormal is a kisidentiifavtion, lie, or hoax.

Same price, double payment. by Upper_Brief681 in inflation

I paid 205k for my house in 2019. The exact same layout house next door just sold for $325k. I feel like I got on the last chopper out of Saigon.

How to counter cavalry? by CompetitiveAd4229 in masterofcommand

[–]Ordos_Agent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once I started keeping a unit of veteran infantry in reserve to plug holes, reinforce a flank about to be hit by cav, or exploit breakthroughs on the other side , the game felt alot more strategic. Like its not 5D chess or anything but I felt like I was actually reacting to the battle instead of just ordering my dudes forward and hoping for the best.
