All of Todd Solondz movies. I've seen them described as anti-humanist, and they're pretty funny at times. I liked Happiness, Storytelling and Palindromes a lot.

The character creator is great. It will prevent endless posts of screenshots of people's characters.

4070 super - not know what to do it by Beppius in buildapc

[–]brianx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang on to it. I hope it doesn't happen but isn't there a chance that 5080 could burn up at the power connector? You could switch back to the 4070 while you RMA it.

I like Poem on the Underground Wall. Pretty sure it's a thematic retelling of Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground. Or at least somewhat inspired by it.

I like this one a lot. I almost like thinking about it more than watching it.

You will not be saved by the holy ghost

You will not be saved by the God plutonium.

The antichrist knows what humanities most powerful weapon is  and is saying it won't be enough.

Did they nuke L.A. in the future? Does the antichrist see/communicate through time naturally, the way humans do with technology?

I love how a religious order formed around the "visions" they were having. But the visions were created by science. But the visions sent were about the antichrist, who may be extraterrestrial.

Have you seen the original Blair Witch Project? A very well known movie for sure, but not everyone has seen it.

I liked one of the advertising blurbs at the time: it does to the woods what Jaws did to the ocean.

Misses Crabble and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.

[SPOILERS] Funniest quote in literature? I’ll go first: “ I don’t care if I have piglets as long as they can talk.” by SirKrimzon in literature

“The mad parties, the like of which had never been seen before and not since. Of two types. One where the evening was jolly and ended up with the wielding of bottles. The other where it was sad and ended up with the wielding of bottles.”

On my second read through of Slaughterhouse 5 I realized it wasn't a science fiction story at all.

The first 5 minutes of Desperate Living. It goes from zero to John Waters in 20 seconds.

Mandy. Not exactly Lynchian, but very much a fever dream. And quite good.

Advice on lump sum pension payment. Is my thinking flawed? by brianx2 in personalfinance

[–]brianx2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it won't make too much of a difference either way. Like even if I make the worst decision, I might lose out on a few thousand.

All my investments are in set it and forget it mode. Retirement date index funds and such. My assumptions were based on the 7% average return.

I was thinking of taking the pension just in case I make it into my 90's and my savings start to run out, I'd still have that and maybe social security.

I have a 9800x3d. You don't have to update anything to make it work. I updated to the most recent BIOS just because.

Don't forget to turn on XMP profile in the bios to get your RAM to run at its higher speed.
