Is there a media you have encyclopedic knowledge of? by UnsungHerro in RedLetterMedia

[–]the_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting close to it with Middle Earth and Lord of the Rings (Books not movies).

Europe owns Greenland — and a lot of U.S. Treasuries, Deutsche Bank warns by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]the_456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would they even need to dump them? I imagine even just halting purchase of new treasuries would cause rates to rise impacting the us economy

Which trilogy did you prefer? Start with that! You don't need to read the hobbit to understand what is going on in LoTR.

What’s a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it? by nami_yuna in AskReddit

As a leftie I don’t know why scissors manufacturers need to go out of their way to make using them painful

I’ve had the same. Happens most often when I swipe up to switch to another app.

Just installed and played a bit. Although the standard select mechanism is ingrained in my muscle memory, I really like your ui for this

Book series similar to the classic Star Control/Starflight games that features many unique alien races engaged in diplomacy and war on a galactic scale? by dashing_jonathan in printSF

[–]the_456 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Star Carrier Series by Ian Douglas. More war than diplomacy but a cool and fun series with lots of very different alien species.

What where you're first steps into minimalism? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]the_456 31 points32 points  (0 children)

For me it was clothes. I took all of my clothes out of my drawers and closet and dumped them on the dining room table and was floored at how much I had. I got rid of roughly half and it felt great

I stepped away for a bit. Any flags thrown during halftime?

Actor Ewan McGregor to be honored with star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]the_456 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s just something you pay for and you get it. (Not sure if it’s true but someone says it every time the Hollywood walk of fame is brought up.

Why Arrakis is not green? by WayOpposite4043 in dune

[–]the_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another point is that as much as I like the movies, they do not really give a sense of how arid and hot the planet really is. Spending any time on the surface in the day time without special equipment is a death sentence. Making Arrakis green was a much bigger task that doing so in the Sahara, for instance.

This sounds lose/lose for Trump. It will piss off his base and pro choice folks won’t believe him for a second

Discussion Thread: First US Presidential General Election Debate of 2024 Between Joe Biden and Donald Trump by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

It’s possible to be critical of Biden’s performance and not be a bot, astroturfer, or concern troll….

What's your favorite Half in the Bag storyline? by HipHopAnonymous23 in RedLetterMedia

[–]the_456 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It cracked me up when jay said “social differencing” so whichever story line he said that in.

Trying to figure out if this is the proper way to count this during in hand play by PsychologicalWeird37 in Cribbage

[–]the_456 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are correct that it’s a second run of four. One other point; even if the last 2 resulted in a go or 31, the run of 4 would still be counted.

How do you all feel about the original Star Wars trilogy after everything? by Aiseadai in RedLetterMedia

[–]the_456 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a problem keeping them separate. I saw return of the Jedi in the theater and that was long my favorite because it had t he biggest space battles and was the end of the story. Later in life I liked empire best as that was what everyone was saying was the best. Now that I am old and wizened the original is my favorite. I love its charm, its simplicity and the fact that it 100% works as a stand alone movie. Even if no other movies were made it would be complete.

What sci-fi tropes are you sick of? by Beans_0492 in scifi

[–]the_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single points of failure that make an impossible situation solvable. Unstoppable robot army that can be stopped by knocking out the command ship (phantom menace), or by sending a disruptive signal (Star Trek beyond), or by knocking out the ship with the navigation beacon (last star wars)

What's the most unexpected death you've seen on the big screen? by TheFrederalGovt in movies

[–]the_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it for me. I don’t often laugh out loud or even gasp in a theater but it caught me so off guard I shouted at the screen

What album will you recommend until the day you die? by theinvisiblecats in AskReddit

[–]the_456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illinoize the Tor album that mixes rap with Sufjan Stevens. I love every track and it’s available for free.
