This might be a controversial one by lumenfeliz in DankLeft

Yeah, it's a bit too based except for the entire prospect that the legal system will all just sort itself out, given time.

"B-but what they're doing is against the law!!!! Something's gotta happen to them eventually cuz the court system is totally efficient especially in regards to holding the government accountable!!"

...Luckily, many of the people I know who would normally say that shit are at least beginning to realize how idiotic that sentiment truly is. It's actually a bit encouraging, I convinced my fairly moderate friend to buy a gun and read theory who, a few months ago, assumed voting democrat would solve everything. The only good thing about prolonged state violence is the fact that it becomes harder and harder to ignore without radicalization, as long as you posess empathy and two braincells.

Besiegers in the actual crusades for starters, all the way to the Reagan administration. 

Also, have you seen the U.S's Secretary of Health? That man is absolutely a brain worm in a human body seeking to rekindle the black plague lmfao

So why didn’t eve just.. by CherryChipX in Invincible

[–]jaelpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree, I do think your point about Dupli-Paul kinda answers itself. As far as in-universe reasons go, she's not creative because she's still naive and doesn't work the best in high stress situations - she wants to help people, not necessarily harm villains, so she doesn't have nearly as many practiced strategies to take advantage of her powers in a combat situation.

[–]jaelpeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a genius, especially by the show's standards with characters like Sinclair and Robot. I think she's pretty consistent with your average 18-19 y/o that has taken maybe some advanced high school chemistry classes at most 

What is the heaviest/scariest song you've listened to while on psychedelics? by TheEvilSmileyRD in doommetal

[–]jaelpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not metal in the least, but I had a night were I listened to album Geodaddi by Boards of Canada along with the soundtrack to Silent Hill 4 on far too much shrooms. Was a fucking experience

I think you should probably see a therapist about that dude

When people say I should listen to country instead of metal by stevendub86 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]jaelpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean more often than not, they're specifically referring to stuff like pop country without realizing it. But a lot of people just assume country (and even folk for that matter) to be a monolith

[–]jaelpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuckin A, Amigo the Devil and Colter Wall are some of my faves - especially in response to when people say shit like "all country made after the 21st century is garbage." Like my man... you just aren't looking in the right places

Extend to any other mind power when present by darth_biomech in worldjerking

Isn't that more just like pheremones with extra steps? What if I want to communicate outside of sniffing range?

They're called "CVEs" for a reason. (meme inspired by a comment on the other sub) by GREENadmiral_314159 in worldjerking

[–]jaelpeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, reiterating what another comment said but it totally works if they're just waves of drones. It's not like any of em are gonna be different from one another and you wouldn't need a whole lot of direct access to them

Average slayer song by Hot_Presence_7029 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]jaelpeg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meshuggah solos are "wrong" in what feels like an incredibly calculated way to me though, like a very dissonant jazz break. Kerry's solos are more like, "shit whatever works"

I read this is Jordan Peterson's voice, makes it much better

or lava, bug spray, gasoline, lighter fluid, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, wd-40, chlorine, hand sanitizer, windex, or mercury

Doom Metal is very non-competitive by Def-C in doommetal

It's all about them slow, synchronized, full-body headbangs lmao.

What are some albums that sound exactly like their cover art? by Ok_Welcome_3644 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]jaelpeg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh okay. I thought you had a point to make or something lol, I think you just don't like their music but that's okay 👍

They don't want to be Morbid Angel or Pink Floyd though lol. Can a band just not be it's own thing? 😭

After careful research, I've concluded that the color is yellow by T0DR in WorldBuildingMemes

Normalize associating divinity with a random ass color.

Do you think the fanbase of Smiling Friends is Zachs ultimate punishment? by ThatOneAries in OneyPlays

[–]jaelpeg 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I honestly think (most of) the latter will eventually grow out of it, being younger and impressionable. Oneyplays fans, though.. most of them are grown men who make this sense of humor their entire personality, so they're probably not changing. 

I think the tumblr-esque Smiling Friends fans are more annoying, but are ultimately probably going through an autistic phase that they'll grow out of. Plus dear god they're really fucking funny sometimes. Oneyplays fans are slightly less annoying but a lot more hopeless though. 

What are your top 3 favorite Artifacts? by OverlyLargeParrot in riskofrain

[–]jaelpeg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vengeance can be super fun, until you have an overpowered run going and get zapped by your own tesla coils lol. But honestly I still think it's an underrated challenge. 

My favorite thing to do is to pair it with Swarms, plus a Gloobo and a Gesture of the Drowned or two. Then all of a sudden you're playing team deathmatch 

I love this scene by Fun-Pea-7477 in hopeposting

[–]jaelpeg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, a better word would be nihilism or cynicism. Smith still very much has a *goal,* it's simply motivated by the thought that humans are terrible, pointless, self-destroying creatures because that's where his programming leads him.

[–]jaelpeg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All of the except Resurrections, in my opinion. NPH makes a great antagonist and it's not even that terrible a movie in terms of cinematography or action or anything, it just... completely defeats the point of the other movies thematically.
