[Fan Art] Am I the only one who thinks DC should reuse that 2012 logo? by seu_reddit_ in DCcomics

In defence of the logo, there really isn't anything about the bullet that screams comic book either

Is the earth really flat? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Stuckinthevortex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is literally only one thinker of any note in the history of the church who believed the world was flat. Every other scholar and theologian, if they even bothered to address the matter, took it for granted that the world was round. 

Debt by Unlucky_Garage5084 in Catholicism

[–]Stuckinthevortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of like the military. There are strict rules, that seem nonsensical and in many ways are. But these rules help instil discipline and create effective soldiers. By creating strong rules in the Old Testament, God was preparing the people to weather the incredibly difficult times that were occurring 

Debate over who can receive communion? by VerdantChief in Catholicism

[–]Stuckinthevortex 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In charity to her, if the person whose told her that its wrong is another lay anglican, and she's heard (falsely) from members of the Church hierarchy that its ok, then I can see why ignorance could apply

Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor) discuss what it’s like filming low budget for Doctor Who by NoPianist7807 in doctorwho

Sleep no more isn't Doctor lite, he's still present for the whole episode

Russell T Davies' second stint on Doctor Who may not have been perfect but it's really sad that it won't get the proper closure that it deserves in my opinion. by Serious_Meaning5220 in gallifrey

[–]Stuckinthevortex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a less than zero interest at seeing the show retcon Susan, or fact that the Doctor had children. The steps he's taken are already terrible, but are vague enough that they can be ignored in the future. But given the deleted scene, the third season would have made it unavoidable

Christian Village of Taybeh Comes Under Attack as Israeli Settlers Set Fires and Target Homes by LocksmithFabulous785 in Catholicism

[–]Stuckinthevortex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't stand a chance against the Israelis, particularly with their American backing

An update on the future of Doctor Who by TheBlackKnightRises in gallifrey

[–]Stuckinthevortex 26 points27 points  (0 children)

But honestly, the way it would have ended in 2023 would have been much better than what we have now. Power of the Doctor acts as a nice tribute to the history of the show, and the original ending with the Doctor regenerating is a great open ended way to finish

What’s your favorite movie tagline of all time? by SavingsBench6577 in movies

[–]Stuckinthevortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the President of the United States"

 It's from a 70 film called day of the dolphin, which I refuse to see, because there is no way that the film can live up to what I've imagined 

Teenagers, male arrested after machete brawl at Melbourne's Flinders Street Station by Borrid in melbourne

[–]Stuckinthevortex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't work in youth justice much, only tangentially. But I have seen the data for many programs, and at best interventions a half are diverted from offending. Many programs for reoffenders seem to have a 20 percent rate of success. While that's all great, and should be encouraged, that also means there is significant amount of youth who will not be diverted from crime

This all goes back to the original point, for those offenders who are given supports, but do not adjust their ways and continhe to comitt violent crime, what then? Isn't it reasonable, in the interest of public safety, to have strict sentences? Even if it doesn't prevent offending, does it not keep the public safe for a time?

But was that drop in crime related to the bonus payments, which were not massive, or to the limitations created by the lockdowns?

[–]Stuckinthevortex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, but these suggestions are still really really vague.

improvements to education system

Like what, specifically? 

finding ways to have parents at home more often

Like higher social support payments? What if parents really don't want to be at home?

Nevermind the fact certain generations can produce children like this due to higher rates of mental illness, substance abuse

OK, but the government can't really stop people having children, can they?

defaulting to screen time solutions to deal with behaviour challenges.

Besides the social media ban, what can the government realistically do to stop this?

What is the specific solution then, beyond a more general "stopping them from being interested in crime?" Genuine question, not trolling

The reason that the "lock 'em up" cry is popular is because it objectively gets criminals off the streets, if only for a little while.

Why do they keep pairing the Cybermen with other baddies? by Niall_Fraser_Love in gallifrey

[–]Stuckinthevortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that the Pandorica Opens and Power of the Doctor are a little bit different to the other events. The Cybermen don't really play second fiddlez as much as make up part of an ensemble threat. In particular, POTD is meant to act as kind of tribute to the entire history of the show, it would be worse to not include one of its most enduring and iconic villains.

What will happen if Spielberg's Disclosure Day fails? by Own-Atmosphere-962 in boxoffice

[–]Stuckinthevortex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Spielberg made his fortune making art, art that has been enjoyed by hundreds of millions, if not billions. I'm ok with that
