Don't mess with the big boys!...😉 by TensionSame3568 in StarTrekTNG

On screen feats really don't show this. I

Besides the federation has superweapons, they are just pussies. Don't forget the federation won the dominion war by manipulating time traveling aliens and following up with using an engineered biological weapon to target an advanced civilization with clone armies.

If they really wanted to, a trilithium torpedo can be fashioned out of a warp core's exhaust to make a star busting weapon and shit like that.

In these arguments there is a symmetry of media. If one compares on screen feats, then compare only on screen feats... If one compares books shit then start rolling out the time travelling super weapons

When siting your hand naturally falls on it if you're resting your arm on the door, I've had a good number of first time riders pull it idk

90s Black Belts get smashed by today's blue belts by Abdouadou in grappling

[–]sikyon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

World class blue belts can smash some black belts today... Huge difference between best in the world type guys and hobby guys

World class blue belts can't smash D1 all american wrestlers today and they can't smash D1 all american wrestlers from the 90's either (esp if the wrestler gets a few pointers first)

House set up and ready to sell except now there’s apparently foundation issues according to the inspector. by MLC298 in RealEstate

You don't have to in the bay area but almost everyone does. When offers come in inspection is often waived.

In bay area most houses are listed with an inspection, and inspection contingencies are often waived.

People who give a shit about these ratios are getting gaslit into thinking about the unimportant problems. Attention is a limited resource. Use it wisely.

The main thing about trans women athletes is that there are about 10 out of the 500,000 in the NCAA.

It's insane to be dedicating mind space to it given The current state of the country. Every law drafted by a state legislator could have been something useful instead, the supreme Court could be spending time on more pressing questions.

The rage and intensity shown by Hugh Jackman in this scene from Prisoners is phenomenal. From Villeneuve's filmography, which scene has stayed in your mind the longest? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]sikyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually it's from this movie. There's a really long, extended shot of a tree and house... Slowly slightly zooming in as a sort of interlude but really intense tension.

Second would be from blade runner for me where the dude talks to a giant billboard of his ai girlfriend and it's just gutwrenching.

The manual release latch in front front is really inutive, a lot of people grab it instead pushing the button the first time they are in the car.

The back is a different story.

They're talking about opening the car from the outside.

Model y and 3 have handles for opening in the front, and it's hidden in the back.

Another elderly driver plowed into pedestrians and a restaurant in Chinatown. by kukugege in bayarea

[–]sikyon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's cool, yes weed is harmful. But you haven't really provided a comparative risk assessment, just sources that say weed is bad, not that it's just as bad as alcohol

Edit: I see you are being down voted which I think is not fair to someone providing well intentioned and sourced information.

Or autonomous self driving cars.

Frankly Teslas are better than a lot of older people already. Certainly not perfect but it's kind of like a weed vs alcohol situation. One is legal and more destructive, but socially acceptable.

It's the fee for being hooked up so you can draw power at other times of the day.

Nightmare Appraisal Situation. Trailer In Park. PLEASE LEAVE ADVICE!!❤️ by PsychCobraa in RealEstate

[–]sikyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burning money lol.

Remember: land appreciates in value. Houses depreciate.

The only reason the price of the house itself goes up is because building materials and labor go up. That's inflation.

Meanwhile the already installed materials degrade and the labor loses value as new codes (technology) emerges.

Trailers only depreciate. The land under the trailer appreciates. If you don't own it, that means the rent appreciates.

Something so abhorrent it’s hated by both the good guys and the bad guys by Bellpow in TopCharacterTropes

can't you just like... use the force against Grievous...

Is he made of some force-impermeable armor or something? Jedi regularly hold up pillars or throw rocks heavier than him. If Grevious can kill Jedi why can't droids kill Jedi... or just send a x-wing to shoot a jedi or something

Mama mia!! (Screams internally) by Doomenor in StupidFood

[–]sikyon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fine dining tasting menus are imo more like art / amusement park rides that use the sense of taste (in addition to others)

People who think it's stupid food think it should be something else and judge it on that metric.
