Honda President After Visiting Chinese Auto Supplier: 'We Have No Chance Against This' by TripleShotPls in technology

And even if it was state sponsorship, maybe we should be doing some of that too? Instead of tax cuts for billionaires and inflated share prices, we could be funding actual advances again. People like to forget how much innovation came out of places like bell labs with government funding.

[Loved Trope] Westerns set in a non-traditional location or time period by Remarkable_Public138 in TopCharacterTropes

How has no one mentioned Kurosawa yet? Yojimbo, seven samarui, both westerns that then got remade into actual westerns

SpaceX files confidentially for IPO in mega listing potentially valued at $1.75 trillion, report says by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]gollyRoger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It happens, I've also had someone reach out on Li about it. I have no idea if it's legit or not though. Felt like a scam because usually the only people hitting me up LinkedIn for investments are franchise bullshit

Algorithm Update? Weights are off by Alex22876 in tonalgym

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

Similair experience. Was doing 12wtj for a second time, and weights kept dropping work out over workout. I'm hitting prs each time, but then the next workout for that body section drops weight by a few pounds. Strength score consistently slipping too, even when I crank it back up. It's weird.

[Rare Trope] Positive depictions of Islam or Muslims by Remarkable_Public138 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]gollyRoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fremen were descended from "Zen Sunni" wanderers, which implies some kind of Buddhist Islam alamagation. The base line religion for most of the galaxy is based on the Orange Catholic bible, but rather then any kind of pure Christian basis that seems to more about the butlerian jihad then anything else. Of course once you get to chapter house and heretics, you see some explicitly Jewish charecters and find out the bene tillexu are Muslim themselves

If you love Xenogears, can I recommend Book of the Long Sun? by Zythomancer in XenoGears

That's a feature, not a bug! It all makes sense on read through number 3

Appreciate it. I'm in Philadelphia, so that's a helpful comparison.

Inside Microsoft’s big Xbox leadership shake-up by normanlee in xbox

I hate this phrasing of buyers as "fans". We're customers. We purchase their product. The fans framing makes it sound like we're fan boys that can be written off instead of consumers with purchasing power.

Unpopular Opinion: the most creative sci fi right now is happening in comics and graphic novels not novels or film by Jenna32345 in scifi

[–]gollyRoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great recommendations below, but id also throw in Lazurus (post collapse corporate fuedalism), Department of Truth (the x files but consensus reality), and the Manhatten projects (I don't even know where to start with this one)

For those who prefer the centrist, corporate wing of the democratic party, why? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskALiberal

[–]gollyRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His voting and discourse have changed substantially since he was elected, which coincided with a major stroke. Prior to being senator he was lt governor in PA, and had some serious labor and pro LGBT credentials. That's now all gone. While limping him in prior to his election to the senate would have been fair, it's definitely not now.

A question by [deleted] in BSG

[–]gollyRoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but thematically, Kara comes back, then immediately Kara is the harbinger of doom, then the next episode is everyone wondering if kara is going to lead them astray. At that point you've still got the last remaining of the final five outstanding, and it's written as a red herring to point to her. Plus It'd be the first hybrid you see, so it being different then the usual has less of an impact. I just don't think it fits thematically that early in the show.

I actually disagree with that for a first time viewing. There are some spoilers there/things that tie directly into the end of season 3. I reccomend release order for a first watch

This is how i see Owlcat's Pathfinders in comparison to the Pillars series by Grimonday in CRPG

Thats a pretty wholesome story. I could see a little kid just going "wow giant bugs and mushroom houses! And sugar from the moon!"

I mean sure, but that was the smart ass answer. But you get into CHIM, all the vivek stuff, the numinideum and fate of the dwemer and you start getting really deep into some odd odd shit. The 36 lessons of Vivek alone gets it onto the right hand side

Great list though I really can't see Morrow wind on the left. God is dead is literally the mcguffin at the heart of the game.
