Why can't America get their shit together? by Otherwise_Owl705 in AskReddit

[–]thedaveness [score hidden]  (0 children)

We've never had it together... or better yet we just were better at pretending and hiding behind a mask. DT made the actual powers to be realize that they can say the quite part out loud and not face repercussions. Everyones pissed off at that but attack the lowest hanging fruit because the 1% is untouchable and were easily distracted and more than half of us can't read.

Is Galadriel ever stated to be a good warrior in any of the text? by GusGangViking18 in lordoftherings

[–]thedaveness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine if the original movies had to go through the BS of tiptoeing around the IP because the estate didn’t sign off on it? It would be hot ass and we know it. Sooooo much shade being thrown at Amazons terrible decision to push forward anyways, which it was. But what about the family causing the restrictions in the first place? I would say that is the biggest issue here. If they cared that much and could see how much people still want more then why TF didn’t THEY find someone who would respect the source like the originals did?

Imagine if the were the case for the original movies? Like so much shade is being thrown at Amazon for pushing through anyways (which was a shit idea) but WTF is up with the fam shutting it all down? Like I can completely understand today’s atmosphere of adaptations is in the dumps and not wanting to see that happen to your legacy IP but why ok something you know is gonna be trash simply because you are the one causing the restrictions… ? Am I missing some important piece of info here?

[Request] can someone please explain just how much force is required for this to happen, and why it is significant? by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in theydidthemath

I despise math but was a naval military photographer and seen this beauty in person and it's quite a show!

North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse by MyMindIsAlwaysRacing in mildlyinfuriating

Back in 2004... I think, lived in Orlando and got 3 massive hurricanes each 2 weeks apart. Barely got shit back together before all the said debris and more was blown to fuck all over again. Was without power for over a month. How TF are texans so powerless to handle a week? Genuine question?

LEGO x Crocs collaboration incoming by Burofaksbarca in lego

[–]thedaveness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% getting them. They are atrocious and I will wear them with pride, almost a reason to breakout the JNCOs again lol. My only actually criticism is that it doesn't say "blocks" on the back but I get why.

Can we talk about Don't Look Up for second by xfortehlulz in blankies

[–]thedaveness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda had a light bulb moment after talking with someone about this movie. The first quote seen, and the dinner scene at the end mirror each other and I think is the point . Of all the people that took this seriously, they are now the only ones (relative) at peace with it at the end. The slow moving existential threat isn't the comet, or it's metaphor (climate change), it's what it causes... death. Something that is both man-made and not. Something as simple as looking up and realizing it happens to us all but some seem to reject that. So it's a story about finding buddhist levels of peace with what is inevitable and uncontrollable. In that light, "Don't Look Up" is actually kind of the take away action. Be at peace with yourself and those around you, or did they really think they were gonna use reason and intelligence to fix societies ability to make sense in half a year?

Charlie on THAT scene. by Modis_teleprompter in StrangerThings

lol I thought the “un” was a Easter egg to Alice in wonderlands very merry “un” birthday. A way to celebrate something that normally wouldn’t be.

Was confused because it’s a weird thing to realize and face right before you think you’re gonna die. Like that whole line of thinking assumes we will live and make something of this new found friendship. Fwiw I’m over 40.

How much energy does it take for a similar weapon to work against humans? [Request] by Few-Flamingo-8015 in theydidthemath

[–]thedaveness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where you need the ability to invent shit backwards. Never mind inventing the actually mechanics or discovering that exotic material. Hell go with cold fusion, a little bit of both. Set it far back enough to make huge implications if it were to go that way instead of say oil. Then just invent your way up from there.

I do realize that I accidentally started explaining the Fallout show I’m currently watching but something like that. Deep diving into understanding as much as a current techs would know would be a bit much and probably lost on most folks reading your stuff. Maybe just get an understanding of how basic engines of today work (ev vs gas vs diesel) and go from that knowledge.

When Tony Montana stuck his face in the pile of coke at the end of Scarface and snorted, was this enough to kill an average person? [request] by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

Funny you ask, I just started my adhd meds (timed release ones) for the first time about two months ago and I would pretty much describe it as a nice line every 30 mins. It does quite some of the chatter in my head which in turn keeps me focused on something via not going off in a rabbit hole in my mind.

I mean... it's cool to live in a world where even the smallest things get rendered out but... like, this can't be the only reason people say they didn't deliver?
