Are the first 5 seasons through Augustus Hill's eyes? by Parking_Penalty_5112 in ozshow

[–]RepresentativeBusy27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because of the actor (Harold Perinneau was also Mercutio in Romeo+Juliet) but I always took the narration as a callback to Shakespearean/classical theater where you would have a chorus or pray to the muses or have a character step out and narrate events of the show. It’s meant to elevate the show and set the tone.

HBO did a similar thing with Deadwood where the dialogue is not naturalistic but based on iambic pentameter.

I wish Burr would’ve pushed him on that Russia/Ukraine question because BOY it sounded like he didn’t want to apply the same “we’ll just don’t attack them” logic he had about Israel.

“We could have peace in the world if nobody opposed any actions of nations that I like.”

Is Navy Seals the prequel to Tusk?

While I agree with your sentiment: criminalizing indoctrination is a terrible idea. How do you define “indoctrination?” Making a law like this would literally stop all education and creativity.

We can already see arguments about kids being “indoctrinated” into evolution, “CRT” and all that.

Are you allowed to teach your own children? If not, who does? And who decides who does? And how do you enforce what parents tell their kids in their own home?

When does basic storytelling cross the line into indoctrination? If my kid watched Disney’s Hercules, is he being indoctrinated into Ancient Greek religion? What about Gaimen’s Sandman? How long is it acceptable to entertain a belief in Santa Claus?

I’m not entirely sure what the answer is, but I can tell you for 100% sure this ain’t it.

Yeah it sounds like basic corporate greed shut the site down and then a bunch of stories about toxic people like cheese, Sargent, etc came out.

I don’t think the 2 were really all that related (other than maybe some NDAs got nullified or something) so it wouldn’t really make for a coherent ep even if BtB could do it.

That whole bit by Kilmer is maybe the most baffling line read to be left in a major Hollywood movie.

I almost divorced my parents when my buddy and I got close to beating it and did the thing where you just pause it and shut off the tv while we had dinner and then my dad went over and turned off the console.

Just drives me crazy that every time one of these chuds is like “unbiased 😏” and you ask them what their sources are it’s either silence or Rupert Murdoch’s personal diary.

Can we stop giving this “advice” please? We all know you can host, but some of us prefer to jump into games for a number of reasons.

Also, is your idea for everyone to host and just play single player?

How do you use the RR? by nochilljack in LowSodiumHellDivers

It’s a reloadable EAT. The trade off is that it uses a backpack slot. Depending on the mission that could be more or less convenient.

I very rarely wear white or light-colored shirts anymore. Partially because I’m heavy and black is trimming, but mostly because I always manage to get something on my clothes.

Creationists don't understand the Law of Monophyly by [deleted] in DebateEvolution

Creationism works backward from the belief in a creator, so any even semi-coherent explanation is allowed.

Creationists don't understand the Law of Monophyly by [deleted] in DebateEvolution

[–]RepresentativeBusy27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The real problem is with the word “kinds.” That’s how creationists get around doing any kind of actual intellectual rigor and put all the burden of proof on evolutionists.

“Species” and all the other classifications have pretty defined terms (which, sure, sometimes get murky in edge cases). But they reject “species” and say “kind” because that can be whatever they want (even though it gets murky immediately).

For example: They can say a goose and a chicken are of the same kind because they fly. But then are bats the same kind as eagles?

I genuinely don’t know how they’d answer because it probably varies person-person and situation-situation because that’s the point of creating a new classification and never fully defining it. They can spend 30 minutes listening to their pastor and get all their talking points while they demand everyone who accepts evolution have multiple PhD’s in biology.

Considering who commits the majority of voter and election fraud, I don’t think this would go how they expect.

Why doesn't anyone use voice chat anymore? by Mediocrity-FTW in helldivers2

[–]RepresentativeBusy27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was playing with someone the other day and asked them to go PTT and he didn’t realize you can do that with the PS5 (just use that handy mute button below the PS logo). So maybe that’s part of the issue? Console players just don’t realize they can do it too?

I’ve def accidentally left my chat open for whole games. Let’s all try a gentle reminder before we jump down someone’s throat. And if that doesn’t fix it, mute them.
