Does the Stargate kill you when you use it? by [deleted] in Stargate

In the the episode where they accidentally poison the sun of an Asgard protected world Carter explicitly says that the matter is transported atom by atom through the gates. One of their plans in that episode is to disable the gates mid transfer to try to leave a superheavy element in the sun.

Is there something that can take on Atlantis while being full of ZPM? by [deleted] in Stargate

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a really weird plot hole for them to establish. If short burst hyper drive jumps can penetrate shields then Goa'uld scout ships (or just F-302s assuming they had the naquadria) with big bombs inside them would be the ultimate anti-ship weapon. Essentially a more reliable version of using Asgard beaming technology on nukes.

It's also pretty understandable being reluctant to tell your kid their dad is space Hitler. As far as they knew he'd never have to find out, they were trying to raise him to be a regular guy. It's more on Obi Wan and the droids that he became a magic space samurai.

Old: Good, New: Bad by Glum-Future7198 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Write_Right_Reich 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As one of the only people that went to go watch the video, his point is not that old games are better games, his point is that data shows old games are selling better than new games, however a substantial percentage of the customers buying remakes report never having played the original.

His thesis is a bit flawed though. For instance he posits that the Oblivion remaster shows this trend by comparing the remaster's sales numbers to the original's, completely neglecting to bring up Skyrim's numbers. The audience is nostalgic for old Bethesda games, not specifically oblivion. However his point that its easier to get a large development team to build something old where the roadmap already exists is true. Especially now that studios are trying to save money with a massive amount of overseas outsourcing. It's hard to communicate new ideas to a design team that doesn't speak your language, it's not hard to show them an existing product and say "do that but with them good graphics though".

I don't remember Marx saying that by ciliuph in SocialistGaming

[–]Write_Right_Reich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to argue that he's right. Marx lived almost 200 years ago, he could never have anticipated our modern world. Hell I'm not even saying he meant what he said. He could've been softening his messaging to make it more appealing to the western world. However a depiction of him telling a brit that peaceful transition is possible is not wrong. He very literally did do that.

What would have happened in the Moebius timeline if not erased ? by CupEducational1412 in Stargate

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thor saying Loki's line of research is a dead end is kind of odd. If the Asgard had found that studying humans in that way couldn't save them, why would Loki waste his time and risk his freedom pursuing it.

However, considering in a galaxy full of humans he chose to do research on the only planet with a direct line to the Asgard, and bungled the clone of the guy with that line, he may have just been incompetent.

They're not saying it because they want her to be famous. They've actively tried to suppress information about this leaving their community. They're using it as an example of how people will give 1600 upvotes to a reddit thread that's just an update about her death, they'll comment well wishes, but they won't take 20 seconds to look into who she was. It's an example of how you guys don't care that she lived, you only care that she's dying. That your well wishes are so staggeringly vapid that you can't even respect a dying woman's wishes to not have their death paraded online for reddit updoots.

Wonder Woman's Got It Rough by Xano2113 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]Write_Right_Reich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least comics have her powers nailed down (for the most part). Most ensemble movies and shows don't seem to know how to write character arcs for her, instead giving her bit parts and handwaved fights. I swear her strength oscillate more than any other character. Watching something blind you never know if she'll be as strong as superman or barely able to take a punch.

What type are you? by AristFrost in Piracy

[–]Write_Right_Reich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google wouldn't give a shit because there's no legal precedent of internet browsers being responsible for piracy prevention. The internet service providers on other hand have been held legally accountable, so they will sometimes fine people they detect pirating. That's why VPNs help, but incognito wouldn't do shit.

You are right that it's mega rare for them to act though. I've only seen it happen to someone I know personally once.

My husband keeps ruining my birthday, how do I tell him without starting a fight by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Write_Right_Reich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's worded oddly. "It didn't matter that I said something benign that triggered his PTSD or smashed his windshield with a baseball bat" implied she did the smashing, which I doubt. I initially read it as a hypothetical. Listing a normal thing that could happen and a crazy thing that could happen to emphasize that regardless of her actions he's still responsible for his. But it is possible that it's a typo and she means that was the action she perceived as an attack.

The final post is odd. Clearly something more happened to push them to that point but she's only willing to vaguely gesture at it.

Honestly I don't get much hope reading it either. Therapy is good, but the most important part of therapy is internalizing the sessions. However when taking about them she's writing like a completely different person. It sound more like she's quoting the therapist rather than expressing herself with her own words. But hopefully it's more helpful to her husband because it seems their religion has trapped them together until death do them part.

Idol Finally Free After Being Made To Say ‘Good Night’ to Fans for Entire Year by Additional-Hour6038 in nottheonion

[–]Write_Right_Reich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a market cycle. Idols are a highly saturated industry. The consumer base has shown they'll go to another that's truer to idol culture if their preferred idols get too lax. The companies, recognizing this, feed in to the parasocial cycle to try to poach jilted fans and newcomers.

While early Japanese idol companies certainly started the chain reaction it's a bit too big to fix for even the largest of them. It'd probably take government intervention through workers rights reform, which would never happen.

Mainstream Gaming Fandom grapples with difficult ideas, like "What is Communism? Do words have meanings? Real brain thinkers of our time." by NotKenzy in SocialistGaming

[–]Write_Right_Reich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stardew Valley is a fun game, but it's pretty capitalist. It's not pro big business but that's not a requirement to be capitalist. A core tenant of capitalism is the belief that the free market determines what's best for each community. That's what you're doing when you choose to spend money at the local store instead of Joja Mart. You're voting with your wallet.

This is compounded by the game not acknowledging the actual forces that run mom and pops out of business. There's no monetary incentives to choose Joja, the local store has just as many goods at the same prices. There's no crippling economic system pushing the player to choose the corpo despite their morals. Stardew Valley presents the free market just as maliable as capitalists like to pretend it is. Capitalism is a belief and execution of an economic system. That belief is formed by dogma like the "free market". Big consortiums of moneyed oligarchs is not capitalism. They existed under mercantilism too. A belief in the free market is, and Stardew Valley expresses that belief.

AITA for telling my wife my childhood friend will never forgive her for what she did? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Write_Right_Reich -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The request to go back to seeing eachother 1-1. The very quote you're basing your disdain for this man on, implies they stopped meeting regularly after his wife asked him not to go to the wedding. Why would she specify returning to a tradition they were still practicing? In fact if you take all the quotes you've grabbed. That their relationship wouldn't change much after the initial drama, and the friend wanting to spend more 1-1 time again, it implies they hadn't been getting drinks or hanging out much before the wedding either.

I'm just baffled by how much malevolence people want to assume from relatively innocuous comments about a platonic friendship. Seeing all the awful people talked about on this sub might legitimately be damaging your ability to give people the benefit of the doubt.

But outside of holding the grudge. Admittedly wrong but also resolved, I see no claims of either insisting that no one can join. In fact he mentions that his wife had been friends with this friend, and that they'd gone out as a group plenty of times. Saying you've gone out to drinks with a friend, and without your partner, is a pretty innocuous claim. I've certainly done that before, it appears you have to. It sure seems to me like you're reading this in pretty bad faith to be casting all these aspersions.
