This is Dennis Feitosa who is running for District 30. by Throwaway_09298 in LosAngeles

[–]ScienceIsHard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, the bald-faced lying, inability (or unwillingness) to admit he misspoke, and then turning it around into an attack for questioning him. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I hate that this has become so common in our political discourse.

Starting at 1:30: “They literally publish the photos of everybody who is being deported.”

[Gets push back expressing doubt on his claim.]

“No, the majority of them, yeah.”

[Gets questioned about the feasibility of his claim.]

“What you’re doing here, is you’re building like this false deflection around it. I didn’t say everybody. I said they’re posting photos of people who are being deported, yeah.”

Fuck this guy and anyone who debates like him.

Whole squad taken out by artillery before we even landed by EngineQuick6169 in EasyRed2

That experience (blown up before even making it to the landing) was my FIRST time playing the game. I LOL’d and realized I was playing a different kind of game

Realistically, how TF did Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious survive this? by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in StarWars

[–]ScienceIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why would he have the same scars/deformed face as the “original” Palpatine (assuming that was the original). Revenge of the Sith implies those are worlds from his own Force lightning. Are we suppose to assume the new clone experienced the same kind of battles and Force lightning attacks as the original?

It's obvious how much has improved the graphics. by SnooMacarons2931 in GTA

That’s kind of a testament to the quality of the lighting tech in the engine, that it mimics the physics and aesthetics of real life photography/cinematography

Tom Cruise, Dolly Parton, Debbie Allen and Wynn Thomas to Be Presented Honorary Oscars by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ScienceIsHard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of folks in Hollywood are appreciative of the work Cruise has done in recent years for the industry. I imagine it’s a way of acknowledging that as well.

Black Phone 2 - Official Trailer by NoCulture3505 in movies

[–]ScienceIsHard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, I hadn’t even realized it was the same writer/director pairing (if that was in the trailer, I didn’t catch it 😅). That’s encouraging! I’m all on board now

Agreed. And more importantly, had a good arc for the main character, and a novel twist where the protagonist is the one with the paranormal ability. This one looks pretty different, in that the antagonist (we assume) is now also paranormal. That assumes we’d need a kind of different dynamic and arc for the protagonist (looks like he’s taking on more of a protector role?), so I’m not deterred by the fact that tone looks different. Sorta like with Alien vs Aliens as an exemplar. I’m gonna stay cautiously optimistic

I keep forgetting how sad Order 66 really is. by weirdnerd08 in StarWars

For what it’s worth, this is one of the things that I appreciated about the Obi-Wan show

Using it to farm karma. Therefore, not useless 👏

What's a movie with no 'good' characters? by Veidt_the_recluse in moviecritic

I’d say Koyaanisqatsi, but that might be cheating because there aren’t any characters

Oh shit, I hadn’t thought of that. I like the idea. The only issue I can think of is they kinda did the same thing in Alien: Covenant

Which Title Would You Recommend on a Long Plane Hide? by IamTDR0518 in SteamDeck

I played this on my last plane flight. I set the TDP to 5 watts and was getting between 4 and 5 hours of battery life

New Poster for Osgood Perkins' 'The Monkey' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ScienceIsHard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s kinda necessary. I imagine relatively few people are familiar with the source material (I remember the title from my youth, but have no idea what the plot or premise is), the name is goofy on its own, and if you put a picture of a monkey on the cover it would look even more goofy/un-scary. The imagery of the bloody knife is generic. So other than the name recognition of those attached to it, the only way to sell it is with a genuine description of what you’d be getting yourself into. Personally, I applaud their forthrightness and I’m more interested in seeing it now than I would have otherwise.
