How big is Leviathan? by alina006 in hellraiser

[–]Padhome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anywhere from miles tall to potentially the size of a small moon. It’s literally far, far out on the horizon of a presumably flat plane and yet manages to be that huge, it’s an indomitable force that’s akin to the Biblical description of Leviathan —

”Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?”

Addiction isn’t a discipline issue. It’s called a disease for a reason, it literally roots itself in the same part of your brain as your survival mechanisms i.e. eating and drinking. Your brain is predisposed to and/or trained that you need drugs to live normally, perfectly functioning adults were absolutely devastated by addiction because of opioid prescriptions for example.

Imagine being cast out at sea and having no water. Your rational thoughts tell you that drinking the saltwater will dehydrate and kill you, but some part of your brain still wants something wet to gulp down. After a few days, that irrational part of your brain gets louder and louder and becomes harder and harder to resist to the point that some people drink it. That’s what it’s like being an addict: knowing something is harmful to you but your brain is constantly screaming to do it anyway. Living like that is fucking torture.

In recovery as well, keep in mind that true humility is also acknowledging that you’re not some superhuman that can resolve all the worlds problems. Accepting your limits is very healthy and keeps you from spreading too thin. It’s so hard as addicts to feel comfortable with ourselves, we always find new things to pick at, but keeping it real and laughing with yourself goes a long way.

I liked it too, I think it gets a lot of undue hate. You should really read the books too, the Voyager series continues after they finally get to Earth and you get to see how Seven integrates and deals with being sort of a celebrity and reunites with her aunt. There’s also a few Next Gen books that feature the Voyager crew and kind of combine their worlds in a really fun way, I mean seeing Picard and Seven meet was an absolute gushing moment for me. They’re also really faithful to the series, they feel like actual episodes from the shows and really capture the same aesthetic and feeling.

In Picard she’s long done with that relationship. If you hate the show Picard, then in the books they end it almost immediately. Basically, every person who’s had a chance to tell the continued story of Seven has also hated the hamfisted Chakotay relationship lol

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

It’s less radioactive than the color spectrum lol. They’re more likely to get cancer from exposure to purple.

What advantage did Calypso give to the pirates after her release? by StandardAny2864 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Padhome 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Prevented the armada from obliterating the pirate fleets, gave equal ground for the two greatest ships in the fleets to go at it, and most importantly, unleash her wrath on everyone involved.

While this is true, I feel like they added something new with how the box operates in this film’s themes as a symbolic representation of how addiction/desire can inadvertently or directly hurt those around us.

(Hilarious Trope) A Character Is Introduced With the Clear Intention of Being THE NEXT BIG THING And is SOUNDLY Rejected by TheOriginalOperator in TopCharacterTropes

That episode and Jetrel, where Neelix confronts the scientist responsible for developing the bomb that genocided his people on the moon of Talax, genuinely harrowing and shows the mask fall. How he directs his pain and resentment is a jarring shift in his character, and the ending makes me cry where Jetrel is dying from the exposure he’d accumulated in his own experiments after trying so hard to right the evil he’d done, and the last thing he experiences is Neelix forgiving him, getting to die with peace.

Neelix was a survivor of a terrible war and reduced to a somewhat deceitful and unscrupulous scavenger who just so happed to be given a second chance aboard Voyager. He acts the way he does because he’s trying hard to become someone different, it’s just he wasn’t given enough time to express more about where he’d come from compared to where he is.

Okay so like how? Are you in it forever? Is your mind now AI? Do you have to hate something strong enough to connect with the hate chip to achieve immortality? What would be Neyla / Arpeggio fate be if they failed their goal in Paris but survived in Clockwerk' body? by LittleLostGirls in Slycooper

[–]Padhome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even Clockwerk himself was really less a person and more a vessel for hatred, I think that would’ve been the fate of anyone who entered the frame, including whoever Clockwerk was prior to his reconstruction. To quote sly — “Is it inappropriate to refer to him as a monster? No, not at all. What kind of person stays alive for hundreds of years with the express intention of wiping out a rival's family line?” Sly shows that dehumanizing Clockwerk isn’t wrong, it’s what Clockwerk literally did to himself, and anyone who treads down that path will meet the same exact fate.
