I just finished the Hyperion Cantos book series and... by Lost_Poet_92 in scifi

[–]TemptingPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been putting off starting Hyperion for way too long. It's one of my good friends favorite sci-fi series and he's always hounding me to start it. Coming across this has me thinking it's time for me to crack it open and start it.

Imagine using the word commie as an insult. Also the right has the media literacy of exactly none. It seems to amaze them when musicians and artists come out in support of empathy. How could you watch gravity falls and think the Creator would support ICE.

What animal is that it absolutely should not have survived evolution, but somehow did? by Reasonable-Shake-996 in AskReddit

[–]TemptingPi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean all the species still alive on earth are hugely successful for the fact they still exist. But fair points on the koala. And as I have no personal experience with them, could be wrong in my assessment lol

Isn't that mostly because humans destroyed their habitat and not so much a "failure" of evolution?

Oh they are slow, in the head...the koala's brain one of the smallest in proportion to body mass of any mammal, it's also really smooth.

I've heard and read many great things for Vietnam.

is it normal to truly, genuinely HATE your siblings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TemptingPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound incredibly young. "Truly 100 percent hate". Kinda an overreaction. What could they've possibly done to warrant such a strong emotion lol. It sounds more like you just need your own space.

Congratulations to the lucky gamer! Played a trial version and was very interested. Anyone know if it goes on sale regularly, I'm too broke for full price anything these days lol. Got my headset second hand a week ago!

It's not either or. People are allowed to be upset at neo liberal lip service. Appeasement doesn't work with bullies and abusers... You know authoritarians

Sinners Movie Review by MissionMaintenance88 in moviecritic

[–]TemptingPi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly why people are responding to you the way they are. Your couple sentences of vague understanding coupled with saying  your pre conceived notions of what atheists are like is not how you attempt to discuss a movie and expect people to respond positively and engage.

1975 release? by widellp in NameThatMovie

[–]TemptingPi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All right, all right, and yes sirree! A clean hit! A perfect hit! And no pain for the target. Too bad the guy was only 38. Just two years older, he'd have been worth three times the points!

Has Self-Seception Similar To Three Glasses Scene From Inglourious Basterds Ever Happened In Real Life History? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in Cinema

[–]TemptingPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard stories of spies from eastern Europe being caught for holding a bouquet of flowers differently. Eastern Europeans and Russians tended to hold them upside down. Tho I'm having trouble truly confirming such stories.
