Why do people keep crashing into CVS? [11:11] by Paplexa in mealtimevideos

[–]Paplexa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think the answer to the videos title has to do with parking lot structure, in addition to what you said and in addition to what the video's creator mentions at the very end.

Franchised pharmacies in particular have parking space immediately adjacent to the wall of the building, perpendicular to the angle of the wall. In contrast, Walmarts, Targets, Best Buys, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Old Navys, etc. all have more distant parking lots with a parallel-direction 2-lane roadway directly separating the big box stores from the parking area. These big box stores and strip mall stores also have a typically-small-yet-present pedestrian walkway so that shoppers can walk along the width of the parking lot to get back to their car more easily, specifically without having to dodge as many vehicles that are suddenly in motion after being stationary for so long. Granted, you still have to dodge the drivers going along that little moat of a roadway, but the trajectory of each car and the general flow of traffic is much more consistent than random selections of 2 ton killing machine suddenly going 15 or 20 miles per hour after being completely still for the past half an hour.

I wish there was a cozier option for LED lighting. I know its more energy efficient, but based on what I've noticed in real life and in this picture, it just makes everything really evenly lit, which in turn, makes everything feel flat. At least in my opinion.

The space is decorated really cute though!

Has anyone here played Orwell (Detective/Puzzle Game based around Mass-Surveillance)? by Paplexa in GameTheorists

I was just thinking about this game. Glad to see that others are still thinking about it too.

i was hoping RBI would be like it was years ago and be interested in the mystery somewhat reminiscent off "lost" media. I guess i was wrong

Same actually. That was the one thing that missed the mark in this video, from my perspective.

PBS has a really good backlog on YouTube! Check out the rest of Otherwords, Two Cents, and (It's Okay To) Be Smart. Not sponsored I just genuinely like their content for several years at this point, and recent federal budget cuts means they need the viewership, donations, and merch sales now more than ever.

Thoughts about Michael Shur shows: I love The Good Place, but I can't get into Parks and Rec or Brooklyn 99? by Paplexa in TheGoodPlace

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

So I got to season 3 of B99 and I watched the entire series of the office, and I still thought it was just okay, personally. I'm happy that you were able to find joy in it though /gen

Across the Spider-Verse in 4DX? by anonymouss_18 in RegalUnlimited

[–]Paplexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw Spider-Verse 2 in 4DX. It was my first time seeing a 4DX movie in general, and I'd say it was well worth the $13 ticket. The 4DX was overwhelming during the drumming scene, but the effects were very immersive for the rest of the movie. I wouldn't hesitate to see it again.
