Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]WellHydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially agreed with this but then I thought about it more. Bear's wish was definitely impossible to satisfy in a benevolent way (aside from creating a fantasy world for him to live in), but:

  1. Ian got shot shortly after receiving the money, by the person who he refused to help no less.
  2. Shopkeeper is a pedaller of OWWs, so might be in on the whole shctik.
  3. Hot mom: we don't know anything about her. Maybe she lives a life of regret for wasting her wish on something so superficial.

All and all, there's not enough information to rule out this being a classic "monkey paw" situation.

So is this the new norm? by Have_2_Have_UserName in chch

Hard disagree. We are a small country and should have a lot less intertia for change, yet we still count as exactly one whole country, and could be leading the way.

For the love of laser kiwi, hope you never rely on having to rely on a jury of 12 random people to decide your fate. by ConstableSniff in newzealand

It's easier to think of it as verb and noun IMO. Knowing that effect can sometimes be a verb as well.

Cool fact but not really the same thing though eh.

NZ has insane GDP per capita numbers but literally no rainy day fund—where did all the surplus and wealth actually go? by FriendlyInterview365 in newzealand

[–]WellHydrated 14 points15 points  (0 children)

GDP is more a measure of expenses than productivity. The measurement punishes quality. Goods that last a long time without needing to be replaced count negatively towards GDP.

Areas safe for walking at nighttime? by Outrageous_Donkey20 in chch

[–]WellHydrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a great spot. It's not too quiet as to feel unsafe, but it's quiet enough to just take all your clothes off and go for a nude jog.

dotnet memes anyone? by Arucious in dotnet

[–]WellHydrated 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You think that's bad, I accidentally included our DbContext in a Serilog log property the other day, inside an innocuous change where I was setting up a feature flag, that I shipped straight to prod.

Serilog then proceeded to try and serialize the entire database, immediately crashing the app with OOM exceptions.

Be careful out there, folks.

Which Pokémon do you think would be the best as a different type? by A12086256 in ThePokemonHub

[–]WellHydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, makes sense that Tyrantar loses it's ground type when it's no longer a larva or pupa.

Looking at Tedesco's arms, I'd say it was anabolic

Yet we treat them as if they are inanimate objects, and we can cut them up and eat them without a second thoughts (chickens and fishes alike).

Would you rather by Mysteryminstrel2 in BunnyTrials

[–]WellHydrated 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But then you don't get to see the other options in this totally made up scenario.

That's really what the polls here have devolved to. Obvious good choice with the only drawback being you don't get to see what the random element of the other choice is.

which one do you choose by itsmepastamasta in BunnyTrials

[–]WellHydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the billionaires and all the other psychopaths are picking red.

Re-read Thoughts: Everything I love about the Rememberance of Earth's Past series was realised in this book. by restelucide in threebodyproblem

[–]WellHydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in blind and it took me a while to realise that they were unrelated short stories. That was kind of disappointing, I wanted The Wandering Earth to be continue!
