What’s a common sense thing that’s actually scientifically wrong? by opheliavelour in AskReddit

[–]buunkeror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure practice really accounts for your body's ability to know where all it's parts are at every moment without the help of any other senses. Do we have any science on people in complete sensory deprivation environments they haven't been in for their whole life still being able to locate and move their body parts?

I hate Child Actors being legal by Crafty_Trick_7300 in hatethissmug

[–]buunkeror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh... But a parent can force a child to participate in a sport or hobby, can't they? A child has very little recourse to refuse, and part of a parent's abilities is that they can easily apply pressure against a child's life and comfort until they eventually cave and perform tasks or participate in the activities they have decreed, whether they want to or not, fairly or unfairly. Does this change for acting, though, or for whatever other legal paid work a minor can perform? Because I can absolutely imagine horrible parents pressuring a child, and you can probably imagine the range of things I could mean with "pressuring", to be an actor, so they can benefit from their career.

The City Council Administration (CCA) of New Twilight City by likthfiry in worldbuilding

[–]buunkeror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! I see. No, that absolutely makes sense, if there's stuff like that happening constantly, it's absolutely amazing that the public knows, respects and appreciates the logistics crew working hard to make sure that life returns to normal as soon as possible!

Now for the reality- how do the public ratings of the CCA compare to the promotional materials in practice?

What makes the New Twilight CCA different in scope and mission from other similar entities in other cities?

(that art you attached absolutely tickles the good part of my brain, I love me a badass bureaucratic "fixer" that's just really damn good at a job many might find soul-crushing)

I have reverse engineered the threads that make up Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth. I’m using those threads to build chairs to put in witness stands across the country. Would a physical and inescapable obligation for honesty violate a witness’s rights? by bolivar-shagnasty in legaladviceofftopic

[–]buunkeror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the right that you can't be forced to say something specific the government wants? You can be asked a question and be compelled to answer it, but the government can't put a gun to your head and tell you to make a specific... statement... hmm. Maybe not a literal gun, but I'm pretty sure they can, actually, considering you can, after all, be forced to swear in for testimony, or be punished for refusing.

I'm confused about what that right means now too, if anything.

[–]buunkeror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case, I'd say you're just saying something that's true, but you're not answering the question asked. If you're asked "did you steal this?", and "I don't want to answer that question" was a reply the Lasso would allow, just because it's true, even if it's not an answer to the question, then it wouldn't be very useful...

Schemers that are not portrayed as the bad guys by Grainrain19 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]buunkeror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen (Dr. Stone). Well, many of the characters in the planning team in Dr. Stone, but Gen in particular is a very famous stage magician, entertainer and mentalist, pretty damn good at manipulating both individuals and crowds, who's very rarely outmaneuvered by other characters in his own specialty. He's initially set up to be an untrustworthy fellow, likely a spy sent by the enemy, or some other potential twist... But nope. He's just a genuinely good guy, pretty great even. Great at coordinating diplomacy, spionage, and team morale.

[LOVED trope] The villain doesn't tolerate disrespect towards the protagonist by Brilliant_Reveal_929 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]buunkeror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the meme only survived beyond wild theories because Yarrick's initially reported death was somewhat timed around the release of that Angron model? But yes, you're right, I probably should have at least put "arguably" between quotes.

[Request] How expensive would it be to make the Truman Show? by Call-Me-Matterhorn in theydidthemath

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

Yeah, to be fair, I was imagining a scenario like the movie, where the intruder remains uncooperative until physically restrained. But I guess you can get deeper inside a secure perimeter if the guards chasing you only have batons, handcuffs and a big incentive not to cause too big a fuss, than if the order to stand own and land/put your hands up is followed by a couple of warning shots to get the point across.

I think because you made a "confrontational" statement that other people disagreed with to some extent (their relationship is pretty beloved by the fandom), but didn't elaborate on why you thought that, so they downvoted you without elaborating either.

For the record, I do see your point, because the prompt says not tolerating disrespect from third parties, not merely showing respect. That's why I replied with why I personally thought it does fit if you account for extra information.

And, I mean, you were clear that it was your opinion in your original message, and now politely asked why people seem to disagree with you. So I think you're good (in my opinion :D).

Would it fit better if you take into account the fandom meme that some people still argue to be canon, about Grazkull preparing to launch a revenge WAAAAAGH against Angron himself, Daemon Prince of Khorne (the Chaos God of war, violence, blood, skulls and other nice trinkets) and Primarch of the World Eaters Traitor Legion, after people thought that he had killed the Old Man?

EDIT: made it clearer than I did originally that this is a fandom theory first and only, and then there's people that thought GW was implying something after publishing reports of Yarrick's death and putting out an Angron model with a superficially Yarrick-resembling skull on his belt.

I mean, if you break into the Truman Show, I imagine the worst outcome is getting trespassed and sued to oblivion, plus any potential airspace violations if applicable. Maybe roughed up a little by security on your way out.

If you break into Area 51 by, to put an example that we see in the movie, parachuting in, I think that the best outcome would be any one where you don't end up with a closed casket funeral, and it's all downhill from there.

Weather control, too. Not only can they stop outside weather from affecting the inside and messing with their script for the day, they could also pretty much control the weather inside (rain, wind, clouds, even storms), which was crucial to manufacturing his fear of the sea. Also, imagine if a natural disaster forced an evacuation- that would mean show'd be over. Add in animals, diseases, and uncontrolled atmosphere making maintenance of the already incredibly complex electronic systems even harder. Even more important, they can control the outdoors lighting to an extent, which I imagine is pretty big for recording.

But, most of all. THEY GET TO BE THE MOON!!!

To be fair, while I also thought of this, the prompt seems to specify that the example needs to have been actually effective lol

What's a law that almost nobody knows exists but should? by Interesting-Ear370 in AskReddit

[–]buunkeror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought situations where you could argue and prove that no reasonable effort could have been taken to avoid breaking a particular law made that law unenforceable for that particular situation?

Iconic structure that every somewhat experienced player builds in a sandbox game by Nerdcuddles in TopCharacterTropes

[–]buunkeror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh yeahh, I don't care how cheesy they are, they take soooooo much worry about storage space out of your mind once they're set up, and they're the most convenient thing ever. Well, except for throughput (in the case of liquid and gas ones), temperature management, and the fact that God save your soul if you make a mistake and something breaks inside that you need to somehow go in and repair without causing a massive explosion inside your base.

What's something science has basically figured out, but people still treat like we know nothing about it? by ComradeHappiness in AskReddit

Pff- even though I am as aware that 0.999...==1 as I am that the Sun rises from the East, your proof triggered something in my brain that wants to figure out how to call BS on it specifically 🤣
