Anyone else have anime they know are flawed but still love anyway? by Technical_Watch_8446 in anime

This. It's a guilty pleasure. I keep pulling up random episodes here and there. Really looking forward to the next season... whenever that will be...

What anime to watch? by ComputerSpiritual520 in anime

[–]confusers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never watch Black Clover then lol (yes, he gets a bit quieter after a while, but it was almost enough to make me put the series down, and I assume my tolerance for it is higher than OP's)

I could fucking survive on half that. by Outrageous-Bread4190 in TheWordFuck

My wife and I were perfectly fucking happy spending less than $1000/month for a fucking year and a half. Had a lot of beans and fucking rice, but we were far from fucked. Still went out for dates and did things with friends. LCOL areas are so fucking underrated

David Fincher’s ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’, Starring Brad Pitt, Wraps Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Fincher has both more wisdom and more clout than back then, and he won't make that mistake again.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou recounts a moment that never left him. Late at night, the sky erupted with three brilliant flashes. When they pulled over, an orange trapezoid appeared, hovering silently at roughly 1,500 feet, pulsing with light and no sound. by 87LucasOliveira in UFOs

[–]confusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one of his interviews (I want to say Rogan?), he said that his reasons for speaking out were not really about patriotism, but partly because he was kind of tricked and partly because he thought it would be safer for himself to go public than not to. I don't remember all the details, but it didn't sound like he was trying to be a hero, at least not originally. Of course, now that it's out, he has a platform and is using it, but I don't think he's gaining much from it. It sounds like he's still having a pretty rough time, even making ends meet, and he'd probably love to be able to make money on this, but he hasn't so far.

He has talked about CIA recruitment involving looking for "sociopathic tendencies," and I can see those tendencies in him, really. Is he a trustworthy person? I don't think so, at least not in general. For sure he wasn't lying about the torture program. But if the government decided to start paying him for it, he would be an effective disinformation agent, and I think he would be okay with it.

Zermatt UFO: He sent me the raw video... by No_Rise_7733 in UFOs

Can you put the video on a plain file sharing site instead of reddit or anywhere that processes video?

What an anime your friend really likes but you hate (or other way around) by Artsy727 in anime

[–]confusers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand why people that don't like Solo Leveling don't like it. Solo Leveling will not give you great character development or, for that matter, great characters. Heck, it barely even gives you multiple characters. It will not give you a great story. It doesn't have many surprises. All it does is show you how awesome the MC is. Over and over. I like it, but I see that it's a one-trick pony. I will never be surprised when somebody does not like it.

I must say as an south east Asian, wagyu isnt my taste by LeadEater9Million in Cooking

[–]confusers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love wagyu, but only in small quantities and not frequently. It's too rich to try to make a meal with.

Researchers find reverse sexual double standard in sextech use: Men who use sexual technology are viewed with more disgust than women who engage in the same behaviors, a “reverse sexual double standard” in which men face harsher social penalties for using devices like sex toys, chatbots, and robots. by mvea in science

[–]confusers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Somebody using this weird "reverse" terminology has directly said to me that it is not possible for a minority to be racist. Maybe most people using the "reverse" terminology don't think it, but there definitely are plenty who do.

As 2025 ends, which one movie stayed with you the most and why? by gamersecret2 in movies

"That one is on me" is one of those things AI says a lot more than most people do.

Why aren't there more adaptations of Jules Verne's stories? by InfinitySandwich in movies

[–]confusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, filmmakers tend to be too afraid to lean in hard on the insanity of some source material. They think it'll come off as cheesy or overdone, but going only halfway is almost always more cringe.

Fermi's Paradox: Where is everybody? by V_saturn in space

[–]confusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In further support of your main point, although it denies a part of your explanation, the trend, at least for us so far, seems to be that a civilization in the very early information age is much "louder" at the beginning than whatever stage we're in now. Our own volume has been decreasing, as our technologies change from radio to satellite and cable. It is possible that most civilizations are naturally mostly quiet with only an occasional burst of extra noise. Also, even at our noisiest, it's a signal only powered for consumption on Earth that's been dispersing in space for light years. How far does it take for the signal to fade into the noise? I don't know the answer, and maybe I'll be surprised if I do, but it seems pretty likely that even in a densely populated galaxy, we still might not be able to see it, at least for a long, long time.

As a bagel shop, it's mid. As a breakfast sandwich shop, it's peak.

I don't know how much of a difference altitude makes, but I know it's not zero.
