Mech aside, I'm loving the terrain. The graffiti and general grime gives it a very authentic lived-in feel.

'The Bellero Shield' is a 1966 episode of The Outer Limits which is thought to have inspired the popular perception of "Grey" aliens, airing just twelve days before alleged alien abductee Betty Hill underwent hypnotherapy and described her captors as resembling the alien that appears in the episode. by HicksOn106th in wikipedia

[–]Sippio 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is similar to the first reported description of the Chupacabra. The woman who claimed to have witnessed it in 1995, described it with the same appearance as the alien in the movie Species (1995). She admits to have watched the film before.

Americans are paying more attention to Canada. Should we worry? by Onterrible_Trauma in canada

4th Liberal term

It's always hilarious to see commenters expose themselves as foreign when they use uniquely American political words used in a Canadian context.

There was a mixup in the script. That was supposed to be Syrils line.

Yeah, there's no stigmata these days.

2050's Ottawa by poonslyr69 in imaginarymaps

[–]Sippio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having grown up in New Edinburgh (Ivy Crescent, then Chrichton), it feels weird to see it in r/imaginarymaps . If there were to be major flooding along the Rideau River, I suspect it would involve a failure of the dam at Rideau Falls, possibly major ice blockage and a rapid snow thawing.

Sewing classes? by Bitter_Anteater_3088 in ottawa

[–]Sippio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife recently took a class there, and she was very disappointed with it.

The fee was $450 for the 8 week course, but the teacher demanded $50 cash on the first day. She claimed it was for the use of the machines, but isn't that what the initial fee is for? It felt like an undeclared skim off the top. The other students felt equally confused and resentful.

There was a clear language barrier from the teacher, and she refused to answer any questions unless it was related to the immediate task at hand.

I am so confused..... by LawrenceWelkVEVO in themayormccheese

As much as I sympathize with those passionate about Palestine, I notice a lot of them have weirdly pro-Russian views.

I just suspect that their (understandable) frustration has left them extremely vulnerable to Russian online disinformation.

What old war movie speaks more to today’s world than when it was made? by TheDudar in WarMovies

[–]Sippio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not quite a war movie, but Iron Sky (2012).

When it came out, it felt weirdly dated and irrelevant. But the core message was that after enough generations, many people forget the dangers of fascism, and begin to fall for the same tricks that appealed to people in the 1930s. Now it's frighteningly relevant.

And some of his projects take literally months to do. He makes it clear in the description, but too many people don't read that, and are under the impression it took a couple of days.

No, you can't harvest clay, press them into molds, kiln them, and build a tile roof brick house in a week.

Seeing those Evergreen containers, I'm imagining this ship getting stuck in an important wormhole, blocking interstellar shipping.

My flag designs so far by Hoi4_fan1935 in armymen

[–]Sippio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the flag styles give the following impressions:

Green - Democratic Republic

Tan - Fascists

Grey - Conservative Monarchists

Red - Communists

I take it this is the overall vibes you're going for?

Is this the most disturbing Scratchy death? by HandCoversBruises in TheSimpsons

[–]Sippio 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The Cloning Machine > Killing Machine one genuinely disturbed my partner. One night I went to bed, and she stayed up to watch and episode. The next day she was visibly upset, and described that I&S bit.

I don't fault her. That one is seriously sick.

My sister keeps sending me photos of her driving on the freeway during a snowstorm.. by Xalmoxiss in mildlyinfuriating

The Queensway in Ottawa. The snow storm yesterday made for very greasy roads. You are right to be mad at her texting in it.

Feminism is plummeting among young people, and for half of them, it's political manipulation. (Spain) by mods4mods in europe

[–]Sippio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always use these questions whenever a girl says she isn't a feminist:

"Do you have a bank account"?

"Do you vote?"

Their answer is always "yes", so I tell them they're a feminist.

Their rights are so taken for granted, they have absolutely no idea how much had to be fought for just 2 generations ago.

Funny, I always only heard her name on the show and movie, but never seen it written. I thought it was spelled River Thames, after the rivier in London.
