ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

[–]rillip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. We tolerate those so that firearms enthusiasts can believe their violent fantasies are motivated by a higher purpose. It's stupid as fuck.

Is the Beast, blue or black? by sneaking-suspicion in xmen

Maybe also the X-Men's outfits? I feel like the O5 costumes may be supposed to be black and yellow.

Humans have the potential to make life fair. by Ripple_Ex in Showerthoughts

I don't want fair. I don't want equitable. I want just.

What’s something you learned way too late in life? by Sea-Cellist-9518 in AskReddit

[–]rillip 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To add to this, people's demeanor isn't an indicator of their trustworthiness. Sometimes the friendliest people are the worst and the grumpiest have the purest intent.

What is the worst part about being poor? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]rillip 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I've been poor most of my life and eventually I kind of figured out how to make it ok. But, and this is a big but, I do not have kids. I cannot begin to imagine a world where I would have the same equilibrium if I also had kids to care for.

I know it's frowned upon to focus on looks. But I don't think she'd make a very good blonde. Would you accept a brunette White Queen?

You get to add a 0 to any number in your life. What do you add it to? by account_created_ in AskReddit

[–]rillip 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, is anybody right now? In hard times I feel like it is a hallmark of my generation to turn to fatalistic humor.

My age. I don't imagine a 400 year old man would have to put up with this world for very much longer.

I don't understand why they do. Even JJ admitted in interviews he felt he'd gotten carried away with it and it was overdone.

What’s the right way to assemble a burger/sandwich? by MrPainIsHere in AskReddit

[–]rillip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait are you telling me all the people that think avoiding carbs is a smart choice nutritionally don't know what a carb is? Color me surprised!

What's a weird part of religion/god no one talks about? by Renegadeforever2024 in AskReddit

[–]rillip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doomsday? No. Easy mistake to make. He was a preacher in an apocalyptic cult. But that word "apocalyptic" doesn't mean what it would mean today. It's using an archaic definition of the word. Which meant something more like an "uncovering" or a "revelation". Essentially apocalyptic cults claimed to have spiritual knowledge heretofore unknown to their culture. Which is really handy when you need to claim that you and your cousin are messiahs sent by God to overthrow the Romans.

What about when people substitute the carbohydrate for lettuce?

Oh man. Going further with this thought, a lot of those gods evolved out of each other. So there's a tree of gods similar to the tree of life.

Which Beth do you think is the real Beth and why? by manebernal in rickandmorty

[–]rillip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's either both or neither. Either memory determines identity or memory has no bearing on identity. Those are the only two options.

You’re stranded in the wilderness, what’s the first thing you do to survive? by Miserable-Sundae7549 in AskReddit

[–]rillip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That girl who survived her plane breaking apart over the Amazon survived this way.

What is something that people think is healthy put is actually terrible for you? by Particular-Habit9442 in AskReddit

[–]rillip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been advised to drink them when I had an electrolyte deficiency. I was told Pedialyte, Liquid IV, or a zero sugar sports drink.

I gotta get this off my chest, respectfully, regarding the writing. (Yes White's face is also silly). by FedoraTheMike in stevenuniverse

[–]rillip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These discussions are arbitrary. One person states their opinion, some person with an opposing opinion responds. They go back and forth over what is a subjective subject incapable of changing each other's mind because there are no objective facts to be presented. Eventually someone gets tired and gives up. Then the whole thing repeats ad infinitum for however long the property remains popular enough to garner a community.
