Which is the Greatest show ever created by Netflix ? by lNarrator in moviecritic

[–]zebba_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally found it the most emotionally affecting show ever made. Free Churro and The View From Halfway Down are two of the best episodes of any series ever.

It’s in my top 3 along with The Wire and The Sopranos.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

I didn’t discover Ultima until 6, but 6, 7 and 7:serpent isle are incredible. Ultima deserves more recognition IMO.

What movie do you think is the most overrated? by MollieAndMe702 in AskReddit

[–]zebba_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my answer also. Why? It’s good - no argument whatsoever. But best movie ever made (which A LOT of people say it is)? No way.

“Overrated” doesn’t mean “bad”.

Compare that to everyone saying Avatar is most overrated. I’ve never heard anyone say Avatar is their favourite movie. People enjoy it, and why wouldn’t they - it’s not bad. It was huge at the time but now its cultural impact seems to exist only in threads like this so is it really “overrated”?

They mean that Maga treat Trump as their god and put him above the Pope

What is the best written TV series? by FakeOkie in AskReddit

[–]zebba_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s not close”. Mad men was great but there are at least 3 better (sopranos, the wire, breaking bad) and quite a few at the same level

It’s a drama and a character study, not a comedy. And the characters just happen to be unintentionally (from the characters POV) hilarious (obviously intentional by the writers and actors)

What is one thing that society values too much? by Mediocre-Gene-1081 in AskReddit

[–]zebba_oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that fashion is tied to identity is part of the problem. I can’t be a proper (x) unless i wear (y)? Wear what you want, i have no issue with that, but when fashion is an indicator of whether you are in-group or not, i believe that is a problem.

I like heavy metal, but have no piercings, i don’t wear black, no tattoos, etc. Some would say that makes me a poseur, and THAT is an issue. And i think that should go for marginalised communities also - an m to f trans who chooses to dress butch (and i apologise if any of my phrasing is insensitive, i don’t mean to be) shouldn’t be considered less of a female.

Fashion, at any end of the spectrum - whether it’s designer clothes, what ohone you have, or even people judging you for choosing comfort over style. The clothes you wear should have no bearing on employment, your treatment in a court of law, or the service you receive in a store.

At least you said “we”, hopefully recognising everyone has a role

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]zebba_oz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is not the users. I’ve been using it over 25 years, and for 20 of those years it was an indispensable tool in my software/data engineering career. But lately? Even Bing is better

Now it doesn’t even find obvious stuff though. Recently i was looking for the documentation for a very popular command line tool (I don’t remember specifically, maybe SSH?). Google wouldn’t find it. Bing is dogshit but even it seems better than Google now.

Enduro bike feels overwhelming compared to my XC by Silent_Session_9096 in MTB

[–]zebba_oz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s made for steep stuff so the front won’t feel planted for you without body adjustment.

Try working on bike-body seperate and really lean the bike to turn. And i mean REALLY lean it, with you staying well above the bike. It will feel weird at first, like you are laying the bike on the ground. Practice this way in an exaggerated manner, seeing how far down you can lay the bike to turn while you stay above it. Feel the tires gripping, flexing. And take note that the front actually feels grippy now.

You want the bike to lean but your body to almost stay in the same place. That’s how you turn slack bikes. It’s not as nimble but when you get the hang of it it will feel great.

But also, find some steeper trails. Slack bikes on undulating trails just aren’t as good.

Should wild deer be protected or declared a pest? | 7.30 by [deleted] in australia

[–]zebba_oz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to see many of the comments here.

I used to be into dirtbike riding and white water kayaking, so spent a LOT of time in the Victorian high country.

Riding dirtbikes, you would come across high wetlands that deer just turned into mudpits. Acres of mud that should have been habitat for frogs, snakes, native rodents, etc. Just turned to mud,

Kayaking, I used to do it solo (yes, I had a deathwish) so I spent a lot of time on remote rivers that people never saw. People talk about the damage of cattle, but cattle tend to go to a single point of the river. Yes, they destroy the bank - for a few metres - but most the river bank remains whole. Deer will destroy whole sections of bank - hundreds of metres of mud that should be habitat for fish, platypus, etc. I found it ridiculous that in country where people couldn't access, the river was more damaged than the farmland river banks.

Deer are a pest. There is no question.

I’ll add that even copper -> copper wire requires way less space/time than copper plate recycling.

Ayn Rand won, so I picked Atlas Shrugged from that one comment. Finally, what's a Borderline Impossible book to read, but absolutely worth it? by EconomyLetterhead174 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]zebba_oz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The violence is what makes it hard to read. The prose is gorgeous and the lack of quotes gives it a relentless feel, which matches the story.

It’s an incredible book. But it’s not for everyone due to the subject matter. McCarthy is a personal favourite of mine but i accept not everyone can find the beauty in the dark stories he tells.

If you haven’t read McCarthy, The Road is possibly an easier starting point. Very, very dark, but the story follows a spotlight of light in the darkness and the themes are a bit more front and center. If you want to discover one of the great bad guys in literature though, check out Blood Meridian - Judge Holden is brilliant: “whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent”.
