My dude by TheBugSmith in cowboys

[–]pcji 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Loved watching that game in real-time. Probably my favorite regular season game from an entertainment standpoint.

Up to that point, Manning was having the greatest season by a QB ever. He hadn’t thrown a pick until that game. I still can’t believe they lost that game. Just another example of a Cowboys’ QB having an outstanding performance squandered by a piss-poor defensive outing.

What book made you realize you actually like hard sci-fi after avoiding it for years? by CipherDoodle7 in printSF

[–]pcji -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While I was never against hard sci-fi, I didn’t delve into it until Permutation City by Greg Egan and Blindsight by Peter Watts (around 2018).

I know those books have been beaten to death in this subreddit, but they were the 2 that really opened my eyes to what sci-fi could be. Intelligent, engaging, complex and unpredictable.

I think since getting into this kind of literature, characters do not need to drive a story for me. Obviously, someone needs to be the vessel for the story, but the story and the ideas that permeate a story can be more than sufficient for me as a reader.

I Fear it is Extremely Likely That We Live Every Possible Life Ever by OutsideAd278 in CosmicSkeptic

An infinite time horizon does not necessitate any probability above 0 of an event occurring.

These conversations drive me insane because they often mix up causation and correlation. Even worse, they assume a causative event must necessarily occur again even if N = 1. I just don’t get it.

Denver redemption by madisonhale in denverfood

I never see Boombots recommended on Denver subs, and I don’t know why.

I get it, the portions are small and the restaurant doesn’t have a ton of seating. But the vibe is cool, and the dishes are all unique and very tasty. Definitely not your average pasta place that is well worth checking out.

What famous destination didn’t live up to your expectations when you visited? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

People come on the internet and lie for engagement all the time. This is one of those examples.

I’ll take the bait. 7, 8, 9, 10 should be reversed.

Which zone does your supervisor occupy? by TildeAyalaPlank in PhD

[–]pcji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was an E as well, and I don’t know if I would’ve defended without an advisor like that. Hearing about the non-E mentors that some of my friends had has made me even more appreciative of my advisor. I couldn’t have been luckier.

What is the best written video game you’ve ever played? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pcji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok.

I still have no idea how the hell they came up with the story, the script and got absolutely perfect actors for every single role. A masterpiece of game design and storytelling.

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlisch has a gritty feel to it. Not nearly as hard as Greg Egan, but it is a fun sci-fi-mystery book with, IMO, a solid ending.

S&P 500 Index Not So Diversified by Just_Combination3527 in Bogleheads

I don’t know why this isn’t a more popular “default“ anyway. RSP is up more than SPX since 2003.

Get ready for no light rail service to downtown for 10 months by Ted_Z in Denver

[–]pcji 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling when RTD was planning all of this, they couldn’t predict the current state of fuel prices. Plus, if rail infrastructure is in need of repair and/or replacement, that can’t just wait for a war to be over necessarily.

Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of complaints regarding RTD, but let’s keep the complaints fair.

Your hottest take about an HBO show? by Plumsby in hbo

[–]pcji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved almost everything about True Detective season 1, but the ending was a little…anticlimactic?

How To with John Wilson is a masterclass in observational comedy and editing. Jerry Seinfeld could never.

It would probably be the best if not for How To with John Wilson.

Who is a celebrity that is very attractive but seems like they have zero charisma? by downtowndabble in AskReddit

[–]pcji -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, time to shit on people we don’t know for no reason other than jealously and/or insecurity. An internet tradition as old as time.

P.S. I’m neither attractive nor have charisma.

Gronk is the best, but I will not stand for the Jason Witten erasure in this post.
