Ask Lemmy

At first I thought you would talk about Magic the Gathering. My confusion increased with every sentence.

Yeah, the fandom is… Not great. It’s basically just an American anime, but the online fans are rabid.

It honestly reminds me of the fandom for Undertale. If you only ever play the game, you’ll have a wonderful time. But if you ever do some online searches to try to dig into it further or find people to discuss it with, you’ll quickly discover that the online fandom is extremely toxic.

If he's so pro life, why is he dead?

Especially toasted. So much crunch.

I don’t care if it has plot holes. It’s still an awesome movie.

The argument that these people act too stupid has become irrelevant since we had a pandemic.

I worked in science, pre-clinical pharma, for 11 years before switching careers. I can fucking assure you that scientists and people really are THAT stupid about shit. Complacency from routines or experience is real as fuck.

My main gripe with TLJ is that the editing is a total mess. Multiple scenes lose continuity between shots. The most egregious example is the milk scene, which in addition to being gross and unnecessary, was clearly jammed in between two shots meant to be continuous. Rey and Luke start walking down a skinny peninsula, no space cow in sight, then hard cut to space cow and Luke milking it, then hard cut back to the end of the peninsula and Luke setting down his stuff.

Ooh that is one I vehemently disagree with lol. It was a ok movie if it was its own thing, but it wasn't a good star wars movie, it was worse for being in the sequel trilogy as opposed to a stand alone star wars movie, and it was even worse for being the middle of that trilogy. The more context you add the worse it is imo

I like scenes, many scenes in the movie; the whole movie? Nah, it's not as horrendous as people make it out to be, but still…

I love the whole scene in the throne room. Nice supversion of expectation, great execution.

Do you mean The Last Jedi? Force awakens was the first of the new trilogy and was directed by JJ Abrams. If so, agreed.

The problem isn’t the heel turn, the problem was that it happened on like 4 episodes. Rushed and lacked the time to show motive.

Of course a Targaryen would go insane in their lust for power. The game of thrones consumes everyone.

It just sucks that the show runners were like “and then she goes nuts and loses it all ok? The end. We’re gonna fuck off and make Stsr Wars now.” and it was so bad they even lost from Star Wars lol

Pickup trucks in and of themselves as a concept is fine.

The issue I an many others have with them is that they have grown to large, even here in Sweden we have got infected by American pickup trucks that has their bonnet at the same height as my 2021 Seat Leon's roof.

That is insane.

Get back to the size of 80-90s pickups, and I doubt you'll get a many complaints

Trucks are fun, 100%. Id love a small truck with a tow package, i don't need a gigantic Ram child-flattener but having something versatile and tall enough to clear some obstacles is always nice. RIP that little Mazda i got circa 2007 for $500 with no working gauges and a fuel leak, when it felt like driving i loved it.

Honestly if those Slate (is that right? Im still half asleep) trucks take off I may get one

How often do you haul stuff you need a truck for?

The rise in pickups causes everyone’s insurance rates to go up because of the increased fatality of average crash now, they blow through our global carbon budget even faster, they make roads less safe for everyone, they drain your wealth away from your kids inheritance and directly into banks and oil companies. I know you love bankers more than transmitting generational wealth to your kids. Fuck them kids. The bankers need your money more.

Speaking as a Texan, I associate the worst of truck driving with “being an ass.” It’s not always true, but man, if someone’s gonna cut me off just to be a jerk, it’s usually a lifted abomination.

This though:

This is fine.

No, it’s magnificent.
