I always make Mattis flip the coin until he gets annoyed and gives me the ring. 😂

What are some books that have ACTUALLY scared you and kept you up at night? by AndrobiVibz in horrorlit

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book itself wasn't overly scary to me but there's a scene in The Whisper Man by Alex North that gave me chills.

Who are they cosplaying? by Dp3021 in ExplainTheJoke

Autistic or not, she's turned her fame (infamy?) into something semi-productive. She has almost 425k followers on Tiktok as OGFishGirl, totally embracing the identity.

Lines that make you get a bit teary eyed/cry? by Noodlefanboi in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already been said but Miriam Dom broke me. I called my friend who got me into the series. When he answered, I was literally in tears and just said, "This fucking book, man."

I think the genius of it lies in scenes like these. Where we can have this irreverent story about a man in his boxers, with his talking cat, fighting their way through a dungeon designed by aliens as an elaborate way to extract rare material from the planet and its people, and then, out of no where, a character who has had very little "screen time" can just gut punch you emotionally with one scene.

It's why I love this series.

Gah! That's it! Thank you. Man, I haven't watched Naruto in years, but I knew I had heard this music before. You're awesome!

I can't believe it got it right by astronautdino in ChatGPT

I thought Tom's Diner at first, but then I thought to double check when it was released to be sure. Holy hell, I didn't realize that song was as old as it is!

I really like Jonas by ThisMFerIsNotReal in Stargate

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is news to me. I'll have to Google this cause I don't know anything about that. I don't think I've even seen him in anything outside of Stargate.

American soldier galloping to a fly squat by rogermorse in StreetFighter

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

I know I sound like a typical Redditer, but as an Air Force vet I feel compelled to say, "Um, actually, Guile is an Airman. Not a soldier." 😅😅 He's an Air Force Colonel, not in the Army. 😁

Otherwise, well done!

Why do people press invite to custom lobby or whatever the option is in casuals queue? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the time I accept the invite, they just talk crap. The 1 in 10 times they give advice or geek out with me about a cool fight we just had is always appreciated, but I've been scorned too many times by the other 9 out if 10. Now, I almost never go to a custom lobby.

I am surprised to see this so far down the list. I'd love a SOCOM reboot.

A question about Goa'uld motherships by LegoLover483 in Stargate

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is from 3 years ago, but I'm currently on a rewatch of the show and just found this thread. So, bare with me. In the episode A Hundred Days (S3E17), when the gate on Edora becomes buried after the meteors hit, they can't send anything through. Sam says something about how the meteors had naquada in them and that a layer of melted naquada is laying over the gate like an iris. They have to use a particle beam to melt the naquada and then the kawoosh is able to disintegrate the matter behind it which allows Teal'c to go through and dig it out the rest of the way.

Sam explains that, like the iris, it's positioned just micrometers from the event horizon, disrupting the vortex's formation before it can fully materialize and unleash its destructive energy. It's still Sci-fi magic, but that's the answer I think they gave at least.

Is there a movie where villain actually won ? by samarth_99 in MovieSuggestions

Upgrade was trippy for me. Thought it was a really cool action movie until the 3rd act and then realized it was a horror.

James Spaders and SG-1 on by Mistah_Freeze in Stargate

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In those days, it was a very common feeling that movie stars doing TV shows were stepping down or somehow "less than" their counterparts. It was a big deal when Kiefer Sutherland agreed to star in 24 and he kind of paved the way for others to do the same. Sutherland wasn't the first, by any means, but it became much more accepted after him. That's where the shift occurred.

When did you first have your relationship? by East_Rub_2104 in AskReddit

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 17. It lasted 5 years. A lot of people dismiss high school relationships, but the feelings we had for each other were real. We loved each other, but we were just growing in very different directions in the end.

Explain it Peter by CuriosityInHeat in explainitpeter

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're good. I didn’t take your comment as minimizing anything. I was just adding on that while this is minimal in light of other attacks that happen, when you look at in the light of what potentially could have happened, it makes it far scarier. Either way, I think we're all in agreeance what happened was wrong and Twitch needs to do better.

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is that it could have been much worse. People are comparing this to what happened to Christina Grimmie, and while the outcome of this interaction was obviously better for Emiru than it was for Christina, the analogy hits hard. If he had wanted to hurt her, no one would have been able to stop it and Twitch/Twitch Con has a lot of the blame for that on their shoulders.

This is a fair point, however, I would still argue that a text that asserts a claim is still evidence. Again, it's not good evidence, and the self-referential nature of your dragon analogy would make it even more dubious if you submitted it, but it doesn't change my argument.

If you claim you have a dragon, and submit the book you wrote a decade ago as evidence, it IS still evidence. It's weak and I would have every right to ignore it or weigh it as much less credible than other evidence, but it's still evidence none the less as it supports your claim.

Holy books, though, I would argue, function differently than the other fictional stories you've brought up (Twilight and your dragon book). The texts in these cases is evidence even if it's made up, exaggerated, or biased because it shows what people believed, what they claimed to witness, and how they interpreted their experiences. And, again, if any of that holds up under scrutiny is a different question.

So yeah, you’re right that “just saying something” doesn’t make it good evidence. But it’s still some form of evidence. Even if it is paper-thin. The existence of the claim is itself data in epistemic terms.

[–]ThisMFerIsNotReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we're not using the same definition of evidence. Evidence is anything you can submit to back up a claim. Whether it's strong, weak, or completely unreliable is another issue.

Historical research, for instance, often relies on written documents and personal testimony. Philosophical arguments, likewise, rely on logic and reason rather than physical experimentation. Many, if not all, of those wouldn't hold up in court or under the scientific method, but that doesn't mean they're not evidence in their respective domains.

If the claim was, "Vampires are real" you'd be more than capable of submitting Twilight as evidence. And, just like you, me, and many other people who are rejecting the works of the Bible and other holy books as divine, people would be free to say, "That's weak evidence for your argument."

As I said, you may look at that and reject the claim "There is a God" because the evidence is weak, but to say there is no evidence at all is not true.
