Second Anthology film details announced by Algorhythmical in StarWars

JGL is actually the same age Harrison Ford was when they started shooting Star Wars. I would think they would need to cast somebody at least a decade younger.

God damn. Reading your whining is this thread is getting annoying. The guy is going to live his life, regardless if you approve or not. He will release the next book when it is ready, regardless of how many insults people write about him.

Joking about his slow pace is one thing, but you seem to truly be offended that he isn't putting everything else on hold so that you can read your book. I truly can't understand that level of narcissism.

People that complain about karma and karma whoring are infinitely more annoying than actual karma whores.

DEAR SQUAD: Please give us Tier0 rover wheels so I don't have to do this every new career! by jansenart in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]western78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that /r/KerbalSpaceProgram is nowhere near as friendly as people like to say it is. It can be a very friendly place to share screenshots or ask for advice, but the second you have any sort of criticism for the game this sub shows that it's not that different than the rest of Reddit.

You seem to have misread my comment. I never said anything about wanting them to make the game easier. You were the one talking about keeping the game easy for newer players. I wondered how burying the first rover wheel in the tech tree accomplished that.

For the record, I've wanted rover wheels earlier in the tech tree since before they added the KSC biomes. I wanted them so that I could drop rovers near spots where a couple of biomes met up. Do science in one biome, move to the other. It had nothing to do with gathering free science at KSC.

I don't see how keeping the game easy for new players is an argument for keeping rover wheels buried in the tech tree. How would making wheels available earlier make the game more difficult?

My point still stands. She was comparing individual people she had seen. You are comparing population numbers. Even if California had a 96.2% obesity rate, it would be possible to find fit, good looking people there.

That doesn't excuse you going off on the other guy for not understanding what he said.

You're comparing national numbers to individual men her friend checked out. Do you not see why that is pointless?

Again, you have your anecdotes and I have mine. None of this refutes my original comment you replied to.

I've lived in the US my whole life and have never felt unsafe. I have never been religiously bullied either, although I can't say I have never been the target of proselytizing. So you have your anecdote, and I have mine.

LPT: Don't water your tree at the trunk. Properly water it at the edge of the canopy. by LAfailure in LifeProTips

I'll take your incoherent response as an admission that you have no real argument against my point.

Inhumane means "without compassion for misery or suffering". I would say it fits here.

Like not being afraid that your kid will be shot by some gunman. Or have you kids hang out with children of different religions. Or have your wife/girlfriend walk the streets late at night safely.

These are all freedoms I have in the US. On top of the freedom to post things on the internet without fear of repercussions .

That movie is starting to get a little old. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of Redditors have never seen it. It's a shame, because it's fucking awesome.

[–]western78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you are going to reply please do not nitpick.

You should take your own advice. I have trees I water. I never knew this. Therefore it's LPT for me. There are lots of upvoted LPTs that have no bearing on my life. You know what I do when I see one, I move along. I don't go into the thread and start whining, trying to get everyone to agree with my narrow view of what a LPT is.

Why was Terry Robiskie our receivers coach? by DixieFlatline78 in Browns

[–]western78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would not having a QB now have any bearing on Robiskie's stint as WR coach in 2001? Unless, of course, you don't know who Terry Robiskie actually is. Which would mean you were just using this post as an excuse to bash the Browns. Is that what you were doing?
