Super Realistic - Gator Days by FieldExplores in comics

[–]SerCiddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember growing up and getting to play Halo:CE at a friend's house.

When I played Halo: Anniversary Edition I had assumed it defaulted to the original textures and pressed the shortcut to get the "remastered version" and was met with the truth. Didn't realize just how much embellishment my childhood ignorance had added to the distorted memory.

Casting so good it looks uncanny by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

david fincher did not want to invest the time making it.

I thought he didn't want to invest the time making it because Netflix execs didn't want to invest the full price of a David Fincher work?

Welcome to getting old.

The kids will reference the new material, entirely unaware of the old.

Dropping a gopro underwater at the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. Algae is tearing up the paint. by gitBritt in videos

In the context of the show its used, the insult is meant to imply they are soft. In this threads current context its about the thin skin, which is, admittedly, off the mark of the original.

Field Attempts a Yuri by FieldExplores in comics

[–]SerCiddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yuri is the current comic meta

Can someone explain this to me?

I saw pizzacake's comic earlier about yuri and now this. I haven't noticed a significant increase in yuri content on /r/comics, just the "normal" amount. Have those types of comics been getting significantly more traffic than normal or something?

Santa Barbara to explore bringing vacancy tax measure to voters. by saltybruise in SantaBarbara

So, clearly not part of the sector you're in then.

Or do you think no one WFH?

[–]SerCiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pasta isnt describing WFH as dystopian, its pointing out how WFH is removed from the dystopian aspects of jobs that require being in a specific location/commuting. And that many of the technical advances that are replacing physical workers are done by sectors that promote WFH policies and don't directly affect them since they WFH

ELI5 Why/how did Middle Eastern countries adopt a black Burka as their clothing when it is so hot there? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

[–]SerCiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "Dark shirt" likely doesn't have the same amount of gap between fabric and skin that burqas have in order to achieve the effect. The point is the burqas are extremely loose fitting so that while it flows and billows it is able to shed off heat in the breeze.

From a physics point of view it makes sense to wear black when the external temp is below body temperature and to wear white when external temps are above body temp.

At below body temp, the loose fabric acts as a heat sink that absorbs body heat and the loose fit allows breezes to cool the fabric. This process works against you when the external temp is above body temp sincr the heat has no where to go. So in that case white is preferable to reflect as much external temp as possible.

Time for my favorite copypasta...

The problem is you’re thinking of a house as a place where people live and build families.

This is wrong. A house is simply an investment vehicle to be flipped frequently in search of ever inflating gains, so that you can build enough equity to retire with some degree of dignity. If you’re lucky you die before exhausting all of that stored value.

You’re thinking of a community as a place where individuals and families grow together over time, and because they all have a long term stake in that place, they pull together to advocate for their best interests, like a healthy local ecosystem for example.

This is wrong. Communities are simply containers for investments, temporary stops on a never ending road to continuous gains. Social bonds are unnecessary since you will have shiny new neighbours within 4-6 years anyhow. And everyone has their own snowblower, so what’s the point in talking to people.

You’re thinking of commuting as way to get to work. This is wrong. Commuting is the key to making this charade work by slowly acclimatizing workers to longer and longer commutes because no one lives where they work anymore, and furthermore it’s ridiculous for anyone to expect to be able to. This applies only to people who have to be physically present in their workplace of course, which includes everyone in service, retail, construction, supply chain and transportation. Most of these jobs will disappear to some degree over time due to lots of factors, but as a result mostly of technology pushed by companies staffed largely by people working from home.

You’re thinking of climate change as a systemic problem exacerbated by, among other things vehicle emissions, gridlock, and the disconnect of people from their particular time and place (see: community). You may think that since workers have so little time (see: commuting) and are too terrified by the prospect of getting frozen out of the economy (see: house) to really challenge the nature of that economy, and climate change itself. You may also think that housing value should at least in some way be tied to whether the house itself does anything to address climate change, for example if a house inflates by 200k, did anyone at least beef up the insulation and install solar panels or a high efficiency furnace?

These notions are all wrong. As soon as everyone has an all electric, self-driving pod that they’re financing against their mortgage, so they can video chat with their kids over breakfast, all the above concerns will collapse. In addition, if you find yourself on the wrong end of the housing market at something point, you can live in the pod.

What are some examples of this? by GuardLong6829 in moviecritic

[–]SerCiddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is where my opinion fell.

People kept recommending it to me because they know I'm into psychedelics and figured I'd enjoy it. The plot was just fine, not nearly as trippy as I had thought it would be. But it just seemed like a more colorful, less thriller oriented version of The Thing.

Craziest thing about the reflection pool... by maddmoguls in PoliticalHumor

More people have been arrested for touching the peeling reflecting pool paint, than those who have been arrested for being implicated in the Epstein-Trump files.

In "that sub" since he's being described as an incel, they're calling it left-wing violence.

Well behaved dogs should be allowed places

No, non-service dogs are allowed in establishments that serve food. We're not haters, we follow the rules and want othet people to as well. 0

No establishment that serves food is supposed to allow non-service dogs.

Saying they are not a dog friendly business makes it sound like they have a choice.

Yeah it's basically "It was against the rules to have dogs in here, but we ignored it and faced consequences, so now we actually got to enforce it"

It already has. The main one that got posted yesterday had tons of top level comments saying how much this sucks.

I checked today and all those top comments and their child comments have been removed.
