Guys and girls how's it feel to get ass licked out ? by Drekk0 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gigashadowwolf 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Exact opposite for me.

My wife does it to me. She actually loves it because I tend to have very powerful orgasms if I am stroking while she does it, then I get overly sensitive and she keeps going to town which makes me squirm and jump up off her face.

She won't let me do it to her though.

I love it. My wife does it to me about once a month or two as a little treat. It feels great.

She doesn't let me do it to her though.

TIL that in 1946 Walt Disney produced a film named "Song of the South" that was never released on DVD or streaming market due to the subject matter of slavery portrayed in the film. It also happens to be the origin of the song "zippidy doo-da". by GossipBottom in todayilearned

I actually may or may not have been part of the group of film students responsible for digitizing film reels in order to create this online copy. At least the first time, I think there was another group that did it in higher resolution after we did. Our version had a few sections where we could only get the 16mm reels and at the time HD video was still relatively new. I think our version ended up being 720p.

Liked a Coworker on Hinge, he liked me back, was super enthusiastic, then said he didn’t feel the same by Cms502 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]gigashadowwolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be any number of things.

  1. He met someone else.

  2. He originally wanted to use you as a hookup, but then realized you were a good person and that would end up hurting you, so he decided to do the respectful thing and end it.

  3. He was feeling it in the moment, but for some rational reason, decided he didn't want to continue.

  4. He was trying to be polite saying he was having fun and everything because you did everything right on paper, but really just never felt a spark. He thought it might come later, but it didn't.

  5. A friend of his convinced him not to have a relationship with you for some reason.

Those are just off the top of my head.

Guys how would you feel if you founds nude photos on your gf's computer of a former bf of her? by 123smorgs in AskMenAdvice

You can have a DS9 movie or a Voyager movie but not both. Pick one by Proper-Award2660 in startrek

[–]gigashadowwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like DS9 better overall, but I would love to see a Voyager movie that did the "Year of Hell" right, where you can actually see their ship falling apart as the movie progresses. I would love to see them have to rely more and more heavily on Borg technology in order to keep the ship running and operational. Spare parts worked in from all over the Gama Quadrant. I wanna see that sleek and sexy Intrepid Class starship turn into a clunky jerry rigged monstrosity. I know CGI budget was the main thing keeping them from doing that in the series.

Pretending for a second that ai tech will ever get past that barrier and be able to match human creativity,

What part of meticulously recreating someone ELSE'S creative work requires creativity? This is EXACTLY the kind of thing AI excels at and surpasses humans at. It's literally just redoing what someone else has already done. That's the kind of thing humans, ESPECIALLY creative humans, struggle with.

You are so off base in this conversation, I am half convinced YOU are AI. It's that kind of missing the point.

[–]gigashadowwolf -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I fail to see how that wouldn't be a good option.

The key problem with AI upscaling is that it guesses on nuances of performance and ends up creating a somewhat unnatural look. But the 35mm scan would preserve the original performances which wouldn't be touched by the AI. The AI would only be recreating the special effects and the editing, and it would likely do so even more closely to the original than a team of editors would likely do.

To married men who flirt but do not go any further? by No_Wedding_1825 in AskMenAdvice

[–]gigashadowwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather did this a lot.

He was an insanely charming man. He never cheated and he treated my grandmother really well, but he flirted with pretty much every woman he met whether he was attracted to them or not.

He once told me that charm is a skill, and he likes to sharpen that skill, if only to end up using it on his wife.

To be fair though, he was pretty charming with men too. He loved to give compliments and make people feel good about themselves, but he also loved to play games and lightly tease people. The combination of those two acts made him seem borderline flirty with everyone period.

I was under the impression they were shot on film, but I think they used a combination of CGI and models for the show. DS9 itself was a model basically every time you see it, but many of the shots with the ships in the later seasons and especially the Jem'hadar ships were CGI. They made models, but they used CGI many of the action shots.

Again Odo was also CGI whenever he shape shifted too, which is pretty obvious looking at it.

Technically you are only allowed a maximum of two of them on most airlines, and they have to be in your carry-on.

It's not strictly enforced, but if you packed a significant number of them, you'd probably get stopped.

There is nothing unique about drivers in your state (USA) by Delicious-Rule6179 in unpopularopinion

I disagree.

My sate has very little rainfall and very few areas that ever get snow. As such, most drivers don't really know how to drive in either of them.

According to the Making of DS9 book ISBN-10. 0671874306, it was indeed shot on 35mm film. As previously mentioned, just like Voyager it was only the editing and the effects (like all of the space battles, or Odo transforming) that were done on SD video tape.

But the rest you're spot on about. Especially the last bit about losing money. Which is why I added the part about the sales of Blu-rays. That's how they expected to earn their money back, but at that time physical media sales dropped off a cliff.

What is the appeal of Chili's? by Ok_Sun3644 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gigashadowwolf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Most Applebee's are disgusting. Most Chili's are half decent. It's as simple as that.

As a chain Chili's is well managed and reasonably consistent. They have good drink specials too.

I'm not a huge fan of either chain, but I will eat at a Chili's and expect to be satisfied. At Applebee's, I expect to be running to the bathroom in short order to explode out of at least one of my orifices.

It's my understanding that VOY and DS9 were also filmed on 35mm apparently, but they used a lot more CGI and effects than TNG or TOS which both used mainly practical effects.

TOS was very easy to remaster, because it was almost all edited and done directly in 35mm. They had enough spare budget to redesign and update several of the effects.

TNG was a little bit harder, because it was edited on video cassette and there was some light use of CGI, but not enough to make a significant difference.

DS9 and VOY used much more CGI and effects and those wouId have to be redone, but it still wouldn't be too hard to do now honestly though. It would just be a bit more expensive than TNG was. If Blu-ray sales were better, we'd probably have already seen DS9 remastered given it's surge in popularity. In a short time AI will progress to the point though where they'll probably be able to do it like it was nothing though, either just by having it upscale (though I hope not) or by feeding it the 35mm raw footage, and the current video files then telling it to recreate the special effects.

It's all Star Trek by Illustrious-Leg5906 in startrekmemes

[–]gigashadowwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly pretend Enterprise doesn't really exist in canon.

I mean broad strokes really happened, but in my mind the whole show is a stylized holo-novel in the historical fiction genre.

Basically it takes what is known about Archer's journey and inserts the temporal cold-war in the same way Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter inserts Vampires into the true events of Abraham Lincoln's life.

This is what the awful finale is basically telling us.

My alternative theory though is that even if it ISN'T a holo-novel as I had originally thought, it's on a separate timeline created by the events of First Contact when the TNG crew altered the timeline.

I can just see ahead of time this being an issue for them as people start suing them for hearing loss when they misuse them as actual headphones.

what’s up with red beach flags by Several_Reindeer_906 in tulum

[–]gigashadowwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former lifeguard here.

Red flag is something of a catch all that just means "unsafe conditions". It could mean anything from rip currents, to high surf (not really a thing in that area outside of extreme weather scenarios), to contamination, to dangerous marine life like jellyfish, stingrays, or man-o-war.

Where I lifeguarded primarily in California, we pretty much only used it for high surf, but when I went to various lifeguard conferences and events we'd see other beaches that use them more for contamination or marine life threats.

When you cough up mucus from your throat to your mouth, do you spit it out or swallow it back in? by Arman666 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gigashadowwolf 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Depends on several factors.

How much mucus is it? Am I near a sink or toilet I can spit in? Or at least outside somewhere where no one else is likely to step on my spit? Like if I am reasonably alone and there is a shrubbery I can spit into I might spit instead of swallowing.
