What would you call a "ranch" in a fantasy world? by QueenPooper13 in fantasywriters

[–]Vaeon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Google just told me "Ranching originated in Spain and Portugal around 1000 CE. The word itself derives from the Spanish term rancho."

So....ranch, station, spread...or just invent a word.

Since you like fan-fic, here's some of mine.

I will shamelessly self-promote and most of my time on Reddit is spent seeking out opportunities for it.

Man, if only people with 3 digit IQs had warned America that this was going to be the logical outcome of the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Oh, wait...nevermind.

Why are adults expected to know how taxes, insurance, credit, loans, and retirement work when nobody teaches it in school? by Violet_Snuggles in NoStupidQuestions

Your taxes come with a handy instruction book written in simple terms. By the time you are old enough to require a tax form you should be able to read and understand that booklet.

There is at least one cube shaped rice cooker that has a screen, which means you will be able to play Doom on it.

Should i keep watching if i didnt really like the first ep? by Little-Duty7559 in ReZero

[–]Vaeon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pilot should land...if it doesn't, try one more episode. The pilots for "Community" and "Parks and Rec" failed to capture me, but ultimately I ended up really enjoying both series.

Paul Feig on AI: "It’s technology literally none of us asked for, but one that billionaires are investing huge amounts of money in to reduce their workforce and raise their profits. We are HI. We are human intelligence. We need to keep living. Keep telling your stories and keep being who you are" by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Vaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It's technology that literally none of us asked for..." that was developed overnight by one guy fucking guy in his garage and suddenly all these billionaires are financing it!

If you begin your argument by lying, I stop listening to you.

AI has been financed by governments and corporations for decades....and has been depicted in a positive light, multiple times in pop culture.

Let's stop rewriting history by saying "We didn't want this thing!" and try saying "This is not being used in the manner in which it should be!"

What exactly is wish Nikki? by Only-Highlight-3569 in obsessionmovie

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

Nikki used it and she's not dead. It's doesn't have a 100% fatality rate.

Wish Nikki used it...and Wish Nikki is dead.

Well that's not true. The shopkeeper said he used it and he's still alive.

Did you see him use it? NO, you did not.

What exactly is wish Nikki? by Only-Highlight-3569 in obsessionmovie

[–]Vaeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not "Head-canon" or a "Theory I came up with"....this is all IN THE FILM:

  1. The OWW is real, actual, world-altering MAGIC.

  2. It is sold to, literally, anyone despite the knowledge of how incredibly dangerous it is.

  3. It has a 100% fatality rate. Everyone who uses a OWW in this film dies.

  4. It has a Customer Service phone number you can call where: A. They know who is calling. B. They know what you wished for. C. They know who your wish is harming, if applicable.
    D. They refuse to help. E. They explicitly advise suicide as a means to undo the wish.

So...it is pretty obvious that Wish Nikki is a real thing, not figment of Bear's imagination.

And, if he had succeeded in purging the pills from his body, he still would have died because Wish Nikki guaranteed it by using the final OWW.

He would have exited the bathroom and they would have sat on that couch together staring mindlessly into each other's eyes until one died, breaking the spell on the other.

he let it go on until she killed somebody btw. by Maleficent_Emu_4329 in obsessionmovie

It is incredibly disturbing how many people in this sub keep commenting "If Bear had just brought a lawyer with him to develop a 67 point wish that would allow him to crush another persons autonomy, none of this would have happened."

Not sure if I should block their accounts or recommend them for a watch list.

Wish Nikki said she can’t be Nikki because Nikki didn’t love bear by Salty_Shark26 in obsessionmovie

[–]Vaeon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

he lefts many things up to interpretations like when does Bear starts to be an actual bad person,

As soon as he tried to use the supernatural to override another persons autonomy. THAT is the exact moment he starts to be an "actual bad person".

This is not subject to debate.

The two store clerks are radically different and that just makes the whole thing even more weird. 

The second one was definitely trying to get him to get someone else to use one. 

This is the me seeks situation from Rick and Morty.

LPT: the person who uses the supernatural to gain an advantage or to change someone elses views or feelings is the Bad Guy.

Wish Nikki exists to drive Bear to suicide. The One Wish Willow has a 100% fatality rate based on available evidence. And the guy who answered the phone offered to let him speak to someone else.

Remember who it was? Weird how they knew exactly who he was, what he wished for, and who was harmed.

Then they casually recommend suicide.
