  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • Tremors 1, 2 or 3. Don't bother with 4+ its all straight to DVD nonsense.

    Redline (2009) probably the best animated movie of all time (studio ghibli people i will fite u)

    Idiocracy is very funny in a not very funny kind of way

    Elemental was a fantastic Pixar IP that looks like its going to get some fascinating world building in a sequel

  • Queens Boulevard, New York City. It’s insane that we allow car dealerships to take over as much land as they want to store cars

    Jump

  • Im surprised you didn't crash into every vehicle encroaching the bike lane.

    At the very least you could've dragged a handle bar down the sides. Maybe a brake lever.

  • Sacred gay warriors even

    Jump

  • Rome came much later.

    The mindset is actually still alive today. A lot of central and south american countries still have this mindset due to Portuguese and Spanish influence over the centuries. I watched a documentary years back talking about the history and origins of machismo in Latin culture.

  • Sacred gay warriors even

    Jump

  • Well its not gay if youre on top, according to sources at the time. Giving a fucking was manly, but taking a fucking was feminine.

  • Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it.

    Jump

  • When your national identity is colonizing, raping, and killing children, maybe it shouldn't be preserved.

    Please note that I am an Ojibwe man with a French last name before you tell me it was a long time ago and the history should stay in the past.

  • I fucking hate ChatGPT and ai and all of that shit

    Jump

  • Have you considered exposing your students to history in different media?

    I hated history specifically as a student. The material was always so dry and excessively white centric. As an adult, I love learning about precolonial America's. This led me into learning more about geology as I discovered native American oral traditions often have startling coincidence with historic natural disasters that white settlers almost universally wrote off as fantasy.

    Its about engaging with the students. If youre just reading our of a book, none of them are going to care. Teach them something youre passionate about yourself and see if it changes anything.

  • What was the most brutal reality check you ever got?

    Jump

  • Have you considered that being a small business owner might not have made you a better person?

    What did you do for employees who were fired? Did you try to help them line up another job, or just told them you were downsizing and moved on?

    You said this was a big deal for the small town you were in. What was your reputation as a business? Did you get the job done at all costs, or did you start cutting corners towards the end?

    I've met plenty of small business owners in 20 years of industrial manufacturing. Not a single one of them was a good person. They took the hard decisions they had to make to run their business and applied them to every aspect of their lives. Everything is a fight, and every compromise is a war. Its hard to be friendly to someone who competes with the rest of the world at large.

  • The three archetypes

    Jump

  • Musk isnt a founder of shit even if he just took a dump.

    Bad maymay made by an uneducated moron

  • My enthusiasm for tech is basically gone.

    Jump

  • Machining always needs more bodies. Take that programming experience, translate it to g code and whatever software the shop is running for parts, and make that bank.

    Honestly I doubt you'll hit a salary anything like IT but its rewarding work. I LOVE manual machining. Problem solving and working out complicated parts and features is a fun challenge from day to day.

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Jump

  • The US does not use stone. You can thank the queen's men for that.

    As a machinist, though, I'm coming around to metric being the superior standard for building and engineering. Its easier to keep track of everything instead of constantly converting from decimal to fraction and back. Figuring out taps and drills is WAY easier too.

  • They don't make them like they used to...

    Jump

  • One of those things is still around today.

    It won.

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    Jump

  • Holy shit I almost took you seriosly. Then I read the part about how "them" created AIDS lmfaoooo

    And I thought I was a good shitposter. Whew. I am thoroughly outclassed.

    People villify nuclear weapons to ludicrous proportions, and that was kind of my whole point. Would you, as a thinking and feeling person, if given the choice, choose to be instantly annihilated by a nuclear bomb or live to be poisoned over decades? I'd choose to meet the sun, personally, but I'm always astounded how many people think the poison is somehow the lesser of these evils.

  • Now tell that to your high-school English teacher when they assign you a research project.

  • It was willing to accept a conditional surrender, which was not an offer on the table. The options were unconditional surrender or invasion and pacification. The projected cost in lives of that operation was in the millions. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined didn't even kill 1/10th of those projections.

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    Jump

  • My source is my own post where I asked for a comparison between the health effects of the bombing of Hiroshima vs the contamination of half of a Vietnam war. The answer i reviewed only explored the health effects of the hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. That's half of the assignment. Less, actually, when you consider the comparison between the two was the entire point to begin with.

    Did that answer your question or should I try again with a crayon diagram?

  • Unfortunately I'm going to have to grade you as an F on this project. You have only completed half the assignment. Great job cherrypucking your research though! I see a bright future in business and marketing for you!

  • Which game have you been most patient for?

    Jump

  • I waited a LONG time to pick up Gran Turismo 7, and boy do I feel like that was a waste. I had fond memories of playing a previous GT title on ps3 with my dad before he passed away, but GT7 is just awful. I HATE how the chat bubble heads "explain" the gameplay. I HATE pretty much every menu outside of the standard gameplay pause menu. I HATE new car showroom/marketplace/museum whatever the fuck it is.

    Idk if I missed more than a few entries in the series but this shit is the most infantile, disrespectful talk down I've ever recieved from a video game.

  • Ayo do me a favor and chart the long term health effects of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at hiroshima vs years of agent orange/abandoned minefields/ abandoned chemical and munitions storage somewhere like Vietnam circa 1970.

    Please show how the nukes are worse.

  • Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • You are using social media wrong.

    I used social media to look at nice women with big luscious tits. No amount of tits on my FYP will piss me off or cause hostile thoughts at any point.
