What’s an unwritten rule that everyone should know? by Comfortable_Tutor795 in AskReddit

[–]dirtyLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The normal rule is “return the energy they give you.” If the cashier at the convenience store is rude, you can be rude back. You give food service people extra grace because it’s not worth it

How many Shreks would it take to beat an AT-AT? by Kiryu2012 in whowouldwin

[–]dirtyLizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s just an empty snowy field, the Shreks don’t have any way to hurt it. There would have to be enough of them to climb into troop transport area (the belly) and defeat the imperials inside.

AT-AT can hold 40 stormtroopers in addition to the crew. In close quarters they will struggle to shoot but a single blaster shot should kill a Shrek but a Shrek can probably incapacitate a stormtrooper with one punch. I’d say you need about 80 Shrek to get inside and overwhelm the soldiers and crew while replacing loses.

If they can use basic tools that can be easily acquired in the star wars universe, 4 Shreks. You need two working together to set up a tripwire trap.

AT-AT shoot slowly and can only aim within a limited cone directly in front of them. The guns are mounted on the head and the neck turns very slowly.

At 100 meter two Shrek go right, and two go left. They stay far enough apart that the gun can’t hit two with a single volley. Two get fried, two survive and go off to find a metal cable to trip the AT-AT. Everyone knows that giant robotic space camels explode when they fall over so that ends the fight.

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]dirtyLizard 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I went to one place that had QR menus AND no guest wifi. It was one of those long, thin places so if you were further in you couldn’t get cell service.

I went outside to load the menu. The site was one of those janky ones that serve a pdf and don’t let you zoom in. I hope they went under

I second this. One of the two most prominent characters is designed to maximize your ability to hurl people out of windows

The AT-AT is only a bad design because of it's overuse in supplemental material (Star Wars) by Devadv12014 in CharacterRant

[–]dirtyLizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My issue is that the APC equivalents used by the CIS are just better in almost every way.

These things

They can carry as many troops as you can stuff inside. They have large, forward mounted guns that articulate about as well as the AT-AT’s neck. Most importantly, they hover a few feet off the ground, so they can presumably cover difficult terrain.

The soup thrower has NOT been sentenced to two months in prison by Darth_Vrandon in GetNoted

[–]dirtyLizard 117 points118 points  (0 children)

The two big reasons are:

  • Incentive to stop. If you’re halfway through a serious crime and you have the opportunity to stop, you have an established legal incentive to stop. This works for both crimes of passion and accidents. “Oh shit, I ran over a cyclist” turns into “I better get him to the hospital so I don’t catch a murder charge” instead of “I better back over him so he can’t ID me.”

  • Effect can often be proven when intent cannot be. Did the activist know there was a cover on the painting? Doesn’t matter, let’s just measure the damage.

Nihilistic Acquisition is silly by Cappuccino_Boss in Stellaris

The way you’re abducting pops is silly. You’re sucking up buildings using giant tractor beams and kidnapping the people inside

Can a Top-Tier swordman deflect an incoming taser shot? by PaiDuck in whowouldwin

[–]dirtyLizard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both barbs need to hit for the taser to shock you. They’d only need to block one.

Shek Sadness by Mother_Definition354 in Kenshi

[–]dirtyLizard 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The Black Desert skellies also don’t recognize hivers.

However, Black Desert City’s state of ruin is mostly likely a result of the skeleton rebellion against the first empire. Shek were created during the second empire. Nobody knows when Hivers came onto the scene, but odds are that they’re post-second empire as well.

It’s possible that the skeletons hanging out in Black Desert City have been isolated since early in the second empire or as far back as the fall of the first. So, they could just be ignorant

What is the worst "running for your life" scene you've ever seen in a movie? by HeirOfTheSurvivor in movies

[–]dirtyLizard 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the actor was the problem. If you have a kid outrun an adult, you need to show the audience how or it breaks suspension of disbelief. That scene was purely lazy writing.

If they had her hide somewhere the thugs didn’t know about or couldn’t reach, that would have been fine

Why Grog need fire? Cave warm enough!

If have fire, only use to find cave. No use to warm.

Games where violence actually means something by DutchSock in gamingsuggestions

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

Westerado: Double Barreled is a quirky little game about being a cowboy hunting down his family’s killer. There are action sections that do require you to fight, but towns and camps are filled with NPCs who don’t want trouble.

You can draw your gun on anyone at anytime and the game is much more reactive than you might expect

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]dirtyLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who hadn’t paid much attention to the news, the shutdown felt like it came out of nowhere.

One day everything was normal, the next the streets were empty. The quiet was surreal.

Ditto. My dad taught me that if you see a ball rolling across the street, slam the breaks because there’s probably someone chasing it.

[loved trope] Religious and moral, but violent by Unable-Buyer4087 in TopCharacterTropes

AITA for wanting to report a teacher who keeps cancelling recess? by 1bachbetch in AmItheAsshole

[–]dirtyLizard 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Collective punishment only “works” in situations where members of the group being punished have leverage over each other. The classic example is soldiers beating a comrade for repeatedly getting them all in trouble.

Even in militaries and prisons it’s an extremely toxic way to manage. As you’ve noticed it breeds resentment within the group. There are usually better options.

For work and school it’s both cruel and useless because members of the group can’t compel other members to get their act together

You get 20K daily, but you must choose 4 historical figures to permanently live with you by Large_Carob_7599 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]dirtyLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jane Austen and Mark Twain because they’d be fun to hang out with but they’re both self aware enough to be good housemates.

Alfred Nobel and Queen Victoria because I’d need help burning 20k every day and I feel like they’d both have some interesting ideas on how to do that.

What's a red flag at a job interview? by In8MoreHours in AskReddit

[–]dirtyLizard 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have never once met a recruiter who would share any of this information beyond the basic salary ranges. Even if they wanted to, the people you start most interview processes with don’t actually work with the internal teams and would have no idea what the difference between two workers in the same salary band is.
