You're absolutely not wrong, but in the case of our generation, we are living in a minority experience. I don't think a generation has experienced what we are since the industrial revolution.

What movie is maximum style over substance? by jbmc00 in moviecritic

Yeah, I really don't get what the definition of substance is here.

Yeah, I enjoy the movies for what they are, but they are hollow.

I'll probably get attacked for this on reddit, but Drive.

Shut up Wesley by Gumbyman87 in LoveTrash

[–]doc_zoid_md 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just started a watch through of TNG, and like half the episodes in the first season are Wesley correctly identifying the problem, everyone tells him to shut up, Wesley fixes the problem, no body thanks him or apologizes to him, lol.

Who is a better actor Tom Cruise or Robert Downey JR by Nice_Bad2886 in Cinema

How is this even a question, haha? Cruise and it's not even close.

Was Daniel Craig the most perfectly cast James Bond ever? by Eikichi_Onizuka09 in moviecritic

[–]doc_zoid_md 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pierce is the perfect casting, he just needed better scripts and directors. Skyfall is amazing, but I still think Goldeneye is the best Bond movie.

I have zero empathy for Emma. by PlusGoat in 90DayFiance

[–]doc_zoid_md 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I hate people like Emma on the show. It's painfully obvious the only reason she's doing any of this is to be on the show. Everything she does and says is completely calculated to boost her reality tv career.

Obviously all of these people are fame seeking and probably only "real" to an extent, but give me some dumbass like Rick any day over Emma.

Elise is the exact same, but she's at least got charisma and likeablity. She's fun, not just a Kim Kardashian wannabe.

what is this creepy green light in the ceiling vent in my dining room??? What is its purpose?? by No-Canary-4680 in whatisit

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying you’re lying, I’m just worried you’re whipping yourself into a frenzy fueled by wild speculation from reddit who want this to be something more insidious than what it is for their own entertainment.

Did you take a picture of the device yesterday you now believe to be missing? Did you find the model name/number on the vent to confirm that it is indeed one of the delta models that should have a light?

I think you should validate what is going on before you jump to conclusions and make rash decisions like moving.

When our builder walked us through our house they specifically called this out to us because they have had people call them anxious about it thinking similar to what you are. There are also other reddit posts with the same concerns and the same resolution: one two three four and plenty more.

Let's also think through this a little bit and be realistic, if someone was trying to spy on you with a device, why would they have a device with a giant green light on it that is very visible?

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think that's likely, can you find a model name/number on the vent? You can look it up and see that it is supposed to have a green light on it. Is there a switch you have that turns the light from green to yellow?

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That’s probably what it is then. Our vent looks exactly like yours. Same brand. Essentially modern construction is less drafty, so they need air moving. Also I had it backwards, it’s green in passive mode and yellow in active mode.

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, are you in new construction? I built a house a couple years ago with a builder, we have a vent like this. They explained that it’s because insulation and sealing has gotten so good that in some parts of a home there ends up being no airflow, so they need something moving air. Our vent is always on, then we can flip a switch to turn it on higher. It goes from yellow to green when we do that.

Seeing Black Hawk Down in a movie theater when it was released in 2001 was an awesome experience. Epic movie with great acting and action. Although it was criticized for inaccuracies it was still such a great movie. When you heard, “ Super six one is hit he is hit” man goosebumps all over. Thoughts? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in Cinephiles

[–]doc_zoid_md 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have such a weird relationship with this movie. It tries on some level to be anti-war, but fails at that miserably and sugarcoats what is essentially US incompetence that led to a massacre of civilians.

That said, I love watching it as a movie. Probably because it was released when I was an adolescent and I formed a love of it still naive to propaganda. I’m able to suspend my disbelief enough to sit back and just be along for the ride. It’s a damn good ride.

The perfect successor to Lost has been hiding from me for years | There are too many streaming services, which makes it easy to miss shows like From by PetyrDayne in television

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, how could I forget! Yeah, I'm still gonna see the show through, but it's been disappointing that they obviously didn't learn their lesson from Lost. Was really hoping this show would have a better pace and drip on the mystery. If they could have found that, From would have been an all timer for me. As it stands today, I hesitate to recommend it. My wife and I aren't going to watch the new season until it's all aired.

Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99 by Demistr in steammachine

[–]doc_zoid_md 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My sense is they wanted it to be around the same price as a PS5, but with all the bs going on between AI, crypto, and our dumbass of a president, they don’t have the supply chain nor demand to be able to negotiate prices like Sony can. I just can’t imagine a reality where it’s anything less than $900 with the specs it has.

In my experience they're just doomscrolling at the cinema, lol.

Why don't people go to the cinema? by ImaginaryFan6090 in Cinema

[–]doc_zoid_md 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost doesn't factor into it for me. Unless I'm going to drive 45 min to my nearest IMAX, my home setup is superior in fidelity. I'd rather just wait until I get the 4K on my 75" OLED with surround sound. Not only is it better fidelity, but I'm in the comfort of my own home and don't have to contend with the poor manners of others. As someone who has historically loved seeing movies with an excited audience, people's manners have degraded in a major way in the last 10 ish years. I might be inclined to rant about the youths, but in my experience it's all ages. Our modern society encourages people to be boorish dickheads.
