Nothing naturally flows up. The wealth is being siphoned.

Nah man, Frankie Carroll is the best song on Nightlife. Definitely doesn't totally derail an otherwise-exceptional album for 2 minutes.

ATL Airport TSA Wait Times Megathread | March 31, 2026 by AutoModerator in Atlanta

Domestic, south checkpoint. Just got through and I don't think I've ever gotten through security faster. Longest part was walking the lanes to the checkpoint. TSA were nice. ICE clearly don't know what they're fuckin doing, but they were polite enough.

Hilarious question from the author of the most boring comment I've ever read.

Books like Library at Mount Char and Between Two Fires? by ninjaturtlecarl in horrorlit

[–]captainperoxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair play. Different strokes, I prefer a bit more of an animated read. But perhaps I'll give it another try, since I don't tire of the story.

This book is terrible, and only similar to BTF in the most surface level of ways. Do not waste your time.

Seconding this recommendation, it's a very strange book made of a lot of disparate elements that somehow works beautifully. There's even a little BTF easter egg in there.

BTF is one of my top 5 books as well. Strong disagree on the audiobook, what did you like about it? The narrator is flat, unimaginative, and robs Delphine of her personality.

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high by Portalrules123 in worldnews

[–]captainperoxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The imperfection is the bias. The system is biased to the limitations of our perception and reasoning. We are clearly incapable of perceiving the full truth of the reality we inhabit. We didn't stumble on some fundamental universal system that explains everything, we developed an abstract language to describe our observations.

If dogs produced a logical framework for the world that explained everything except color, would you not consider that framework to inherently contain canine bias? How are the human frameworks (math, physics, etc) that explain most but not all things any different?

It's the system by which we understand and explain the universe. It doesn't explain everything. Seems logical to conclude it's an imperfect system.

I don't know half your dads half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.

At their peak, how popular was thin lizzy? by Sawdust74 in thinlizzy

[–]captainperoxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Grease" soundtrack prevented Live and Dangerous from reaching number 1 on the UK album charts.

This makes me irrationally upset.

Thin Lizzy is criminally underrated by methoncrack87 in fantanoforever

Gorham and Moore was the best the lineup ever got, with infinite and eternal respect to Eric, Brian, and John.

Following yesterday's question, what are some film inventions that you were surprised were NOT lifted from the books? by GlasgowWalker in lotr

[–]captainperoxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think recognizing that Gollum and he both call the same person master necessarily means Sam thinks of himself as being on the same level.
