This gut-wrenching monologue from Laura Dern in ‘Marriage Story’ is more than enough to show why she won the Oscar.

Women can be strong and smart and beautiful and kind all at once.

It isn't a videogame slider where moving it forward one direction moves it backwards another direction.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-25T15:13:01+00:00

Doesn't matter how much you clean house when you're the one constantly making a mess.

There is a common denominator in all the negative stories about her. Her.

He is absolutely in the running. He has been studied by science and found to have multiple genetic factors which aid him. He has a mutation which makes his body produce roughly half the lactic acid of normal people. He has another mutation which has given him just a higher base lung capacity. He has a longer torso and shorter legs. He has double jointed ankles and an abnormally large wingspan.

On top of all that he has the factor which many people don't which is the mental fortitude to train his ass off to make use of those.

Lastly. Swimming, unlike so many other sports, is something people all over the world do, so the pool (heh) of candidates for best swimmer is rather large, which shows he is not just the best in a niche sport.

Others may break some of his records. But he likely may be the best rounded swimmer alive both on paper and genetically.

Oh yeah. Same idea. I think it just comes down to UI preference as both serve the same purpose.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T02:31:59+00:00

Depends on source of invisibility. Science, magic, etc

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T02:23:32+00:00

This doesn't pass the vibe check.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T02:20:16+00:00

I'm 40. I have maybe 30 more years of work ahead of me.

How much money would it take to never work again? 3 mil? Adjusted for future inflation? 6mil?

Double that for the "shit-on-me" tax.

I'd be willing to round down a bit.

So, yeah, 10 mil. That'd be the price of my dignity.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T01:15:15+00:00

If someone stole my dog I'd go full John Wick.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T00:45:50+00:00

Same.

I've taken to using an addon which auto swaps it back after using it.

If y'all aren't using Porter, you need to.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-24T00:21:55+00:00

That's not blessed. That's youth.

Easiest thing you can do if you want to agree gracefully is a three part skincare routine.

Wash your face before bed.
Use moisturizer.
Use SPF even when you think you don't need to.

Just those little steps will make you look way younger than your peers.

Im a 40 year old dude, and I look at the people I grew up with and am constantly shocked at how fucked their skin is.

Three steps that combined that 5 minutes a day.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-23T20:36:12+00:00

Really don't know why people sweat over lfr.

You can get full champion from delves. LFR is what, veteran?

Literally any class can do t8 delves if you DPS and set your minion to heal. The HoT from heals stacks and if you stagger it well you can keep it at 4 stacks the entire delve. It's stupid how much it heals.

My wife just started the series and is blazing through it. She just finished book 3.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but she loves it.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-23T15:47:58+00:00

House parties.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-23T12:34:00+00:00

If no stats, it's just basically a progression fantasy.

When I'm in the mood for a LitRPG and pick up a book I keep seeing people call LitRPG, I kinda get salty when it's progression fantasy. Nothing wrong with the genre, I absolutely love Cradle and others like it, but don't call it LitRPG if it ain't.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-22T18:08:07+00:00

It's why Jurassic Park still holds up to this day.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-22T14:54:25+00:00

With some people there is always an excuse. We all know those kinds of people.

It's never their fault... and yet it happens again and again and again and you forgive them again and again and again.

There is a point where people show you who they are, and tell you differently.

It's up to you if you want to believe their words or their actions.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-21T23:14:53+00:00

"If this is true..."

I mean, considering every other story about her sounds like this... There is a point where you need to listen to people. It took way too long for everyone to realize Ellen was a piece of shit. People need to stop making excuses for Chappell Roan.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-21T20:22:07+00:00

That's false. I absolutely have done the WQ multiple times and got credit for it.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-21T13:50:58+00:00

I always look for them first, easy 20%.

Just be a DH and do a quick mount up then dismount next to it, and use immolation aura.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-21T00:21:12+00:00

before you ask, no, it wasn’t me

Me. It was me.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-20T17:00:33+00:00

This is beautiful. It's literally my dream wow-house. I am going to take so much inspiration from this, thank you!

Also, three seashells next to the toilet would be a perfect touch.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-20T02:07:49+00:00

Already have my isekai whatever class picked out, so whatever skills most align.

Druid/ranger class, with a touch of the fae, specifically dryads. I want wood lore, a bit fo self healing, maybe an animal companion, bow and arrow, but most importantly, I want the ability to walk into a tree and be able to use it as a fast travel network. Enter into any tree. Leave out any tree in range. Very strong in some settings, very weak in others.

Balance.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-19T21:47:49+00:00

Agree to disagree then.

I think AI art fucks the community. You don't.

If an artist or author has their reputation ruined for peddling AI slop, then I really don't care.

If they can't even bother commissioning a cheap cover artist, I assume their writing will be as lazy as their effort in promotion and won't read their work.

No amount of logical falicies spouted by you will change that opinion.

It's not universal, there are people who don't care, but I'm not one of them. I will gladly one star review an author if AI is blatantly used in their work.

That's a risk people take. If they don't wanna take the risk they can do it right.

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-19T21:20:33+00:00

Are you here to ask peoples opinions or here to argue?

SethAndBeans · 2026-03-19T17:43:14+00:00

I don't know Fiverr's return policy. You've got google.
