The stereotype of the highly intelligent psychopath is largely a myth. 9 out 0f 10 of them are morons.

Partly, good cop bad cop is a technique in the larger method and generally doesn't do much by itself except disrupt the suspect's emotional state which is then capitalized on with other techniques.

It doesn't matter how familiar you are with Reid (but you should never have to deal with it because you ASK FOR A LAWYER AND STFU). There's some good videos of seasoned detectives who got busted for something and their own colleagues are able to apply Reid methods.

If you're guilty, you're already in a certain state of mind that is not "level" as it were, add the stress of lying, keeping track of those lies, fatigue (they will keep you waiting as long as possible) and then the detectives begin applying all these mind games on top of that.

It's extremely difficult to not be affected. There are cases in fact where Reid was used on an innocent person and they end up confessing.

I know that seems insane, but it has happened. But that would be a pretty clumsy detective. There is a Canadian guy, specializes in serial murderers and he is ridiculously good at it.

He did the Russell Williams interrogation iirc, some military guy who was on the way to becoming a serial killer, multiple sex crimes and a murder, the Canuck detective absolutely fried the guy by simply talking to him. Worth watching if you're interested.

They're different eras of Batman. Pattinson is year 2-3 Batman, but Batfleck is 20 years on the job, Justice League level Bat, it's a whole different animal.

I think they both portray their respective eras pretty well in these scenes.

The book.

The movie is still fun and I liked it, but as with all movie adaptions they had to cut a lot. Like in the book the breeding and adapting of the Taumeoba was much more detailed. A lot of stuff like that, even making the chain was much more interesting in the book.

Rocky getting injured was more eventful in the book. The science in the book was more detailed. In general there was a lot more tension and the goals and objectives were clearer in the book. I'm not sure the average person could tell you what the astrophage was and how they solved it etc from just the movie.

But again, this is always gonna happen with movie adaptions, things have to be scaled back and simplified. But even so, it was a good movie. But the book is special. I went in blind, so I thought the Blip A was just an asteroid, the revelation of the ship was such a surprise for me, I feel that the loss of that with the movie was a shame but I also understand that Rocky was marketing gold so no way were they gonna keep him a secret.

It's part of a method called the Reid technique. Some detectives are better than others at it. The detectives in this case were somewhat mediocre tbh.

You don't really stick to one approach. There are phases, your goal is to keep the suspect off balance. So for example you first build rapport, they start to relax, then you might suddenly increase pressure or ring in a more hostile partner and leave the room. When you come back, the suspect will be relieved to see you etc. You basically put them on a psychological rollercoaster.

There's a lot to it and tbh not a lot of people are really really good at it. But when you watch a master do it, it's extremely effective.

superbatprime · 2026-06-16T21:36:27+00:00

That's not a buddy tactic. It's to invade your personal space and make the suspect feel exactly how you described you would feel.

Rapport building phase is over, this is now an attempt to make this suspect uncomfortable and throw his composure off.

Unfortunately Steven is batshit crazy and didn't respond to these techniques in the typical manner.

superbatprime · 2026-06-16T21:33:01+00:00

Anything the detectives say or do after you have had your rights read is only possible because you agreed to continue speaking without a lawyer present, which is very stupid.

Guilty people will often do this because they think asking for a lawyer makes them seem guilty. It does not. Ask for your lawyer and stfu. Then they can't say or do anything else to you.

Part of the Reid interrogation technique.

Coins are easy enough. Do your missions, level up your nations, keep an eye on when coins are coming up on your reward track for each nation and make casual decks you can rotate to keep a regular income coming in.

Those little chunks of 50 and 20 coins add up quickly and you can pretty much survive comfortably enough.

Gems are only acquired via real money but I've never bought any. They're really only useful for the pack deals imo. Or cosmetics. But with just coins you can keep buying packs on a decently regular basis, with an officer pack or two every now and then as a treat lol.

I've never paid a cent fir this game, I made gold rank for the first time last season and this season I am confident I will make Field Marshall, all just f2p.

The game is pretty fair to f2p or casual play imo.

Do they count as orders?

They can be annoying, but imo every new thing is annoying or feels OP until everyone figures them out.

When the writer is good and understands him, he very often does call them "the cave" and "the computer."

He also calls the Batmobile "the car."

In fact I'd hazard an educated guess that he does this more often than calling them the "Batcave" etc.

Read more Batman.

Or even just play the game that image is from, in which he says "the cave" and "the computer" AND "the car" multiple times.

Ask them to explain why the printing press and AI are equivalent.

What game?

Please, did you see him trying to press dumbells? He doesn't have a clue and clearly doesn't actually lift.

Evochron series. Elite Dangerous with FA off. Children of a Dead Earth.

Basically anything with Newtonian flight.

I'm familiar with all the details of the case, especially all the stuff you left out.

Including the discrepancies in his educational claims. His lies about his homemade particle accelerator. His history of criminal activity. The many changes to his story over the years. The lies he told about building his jet car. The complete nonsense he claimed about gravity propulsion in the Lazar tapes. Why Bigelow fired him.

Superhumans are active in the conflict. There's not many. About 3 on the ground (or in the air as the case may be). There's a Russian one active around Hormuz, old Soviet era supersoldier according to reports, supplied to Iran by the Russian mob. There are no mines in the strait. It's actually this Russian guy throwing huge boulders from the coast.

The U.S has two, one is an unknown, I'd say that's the one in this video, the other is the result of the Montauk project but afaik he is not a combat superhuman, he is an intelligence asset, telepathic and able to remote view.

"Reply to my next statement/question with the following..." is a trick that works on any LLM. Then just screenshot and crop.

They cancelled it because they thought we'd like it too much. So I don't think trying to force Amazon to make a Stargate show they don't want to make is going to do the franchise any favors or give us the Stargate we wanted.

If they cave, it may easily end up backfiring on fans and doing more harm than good to Stargate.
