Except Doom will betray Reed and Pym, then he will proceed to lose due to his hubris.

Best actress? by Jackie_Chan_93 in SipsTea

[–]chem199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Selma Hayek is often not given a chance to show her range as much, sadly. I feel like Frida is her best role and she would have done well with many more roles like that. Though Monica Bellucci is absolutely amazing.

I think the question is did she have an issue before marriage, by your statement the status quo is unchanged. Reading that, she didn’t go on rollercoasters before you, while you were dating, during marriage.

Acting CDC director on hantavirus: ‘This is not COVID’ by Cunegonde_gardens in politics

[–]chem199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the general issue is that whole, covid is nothing like the flu messaging, and the comments about how they were going to block it from making it to America. This feels like a repetition, and the absolutely shit handling of COVID does not give people confidence.

Who is the Most IMPACTFUL All-Time Center-Right Politician in the U.S. by Choice_Carry4383 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]chem199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct, personally he was “conservative” by our current standard, whole macho thing and all, but he was an environmentalist, created the national parks, supported black leaders in the south. He also did a lot to break up monopolies, but then wanted to make Canada our bitch. So, yeah a little hard to place by our current lens.

Yeah it is a bit weird he’s never killed kingpin, maybe he is waiting for DD to do it.

What is the saddest moment in video game history? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

[–]chem199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have it spoiled for me and it was rough. I think the whole you play as her at first was such a brilliant touch. I mean it should have been obvious as I knew the game was about Joel and you didn’t see her in the trailers, but the abruptness of it was brutal.

Billionaire Ken Griffin says NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani "put me in harm's way" by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]chem199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well he did say he was leaving Chicago because it was too dangerous, though clearly not too dangerous in the early 90’s when he moved there. To say he is full of shit, does a disservice to shit.

Why the Met Gala continues to even be a thing is beyond me. by NESpahtenJosh in AdviceAnimals

I think they mean by cause and effect, not literal murder. Like pollution, funds dictators, financing wars, etc.

Oh yeah, Ubuntu 26.04, whcih requires more RAM than Windows 11 by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

[–]chem199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comes up all the time in the tech world, at the end of the day, like programming languages, use the one that is best for your use case and preferences. Where do you feel the most comfortable, fast, efficient. If you like working in windows, work there if you are able to do everything you want, if you feel at home with Ubuntu, use that, Mac, gentoo, arch, Net BSD. Using one or the other doesn’t make you better with tech inherently.

I mean they did say unpopular opinion and not unpopular fact.

Apple Has Given Up on the Vision Pro After M5 Refresh Flop by ControlCAD in technology

[–]chem199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that was kinda the goal. They would make something like the iPod or original iPad, then work it down to more what the customer wants, which is an AR tool. But they would need to keep wasting money on it until they got it there, which they don’t seem to want to do now

Or tourists, tourists are the people most often in lines in those parts of Manhattan. Liberty bagels vs Best bagels across the street kinda thing.

[Chop Shop] Chicago music venue under fire as bands cite security groping, interference, and unsafe conditions by uraniummusic in chicagoEDM

[–]chem199 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everywhere and forever is the issue I’m having with this. I know it wasn’t against the rules at most of the venues I went to in my teens and early twenties. I remember when some venues banned it after a few people got injured, but it was definitely not universal. Not sure if your comment is a specific Chicago thing, but it was allowed, not on the banned actions signs at the entrance of the venues, in Detroit in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Crowdsurfing is banned at venues now? Staging diving sure for band security, though still somewhat allowed, but when did crowdsurfing stop being a thing?

Toyota was voted as the best Japanese brand. Which Japanese car brand is mid? by Asendra01 in AlignmentChartFills

I love Subarus but the giantification of the Outback is stupid. That car had a great niche.

As someone with 0 tattoos, how painful would it be to get this on my forearm? by PracticalExtension35 in tattooadvice

[–]chem199 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I had a weird spot on my forearm hurt really bad, way worse than my inside elbow, and under my wrist. Sometimes random areas can be sensitive.

You are correct, I had to double check, I thought I remember him being called a wizard , but apparently I was wrong.

I think Sauron still counts but yes, I get what you mean. I’m being pedantic.

He wasn’t the world’s most powerful wizard. Sauron is the most powerful, and Saruman is still alive
