  • No credit necessary. Be sure to include a whole bit about house seeing things on the holodeck when he hasn't turned them on, or him recognizing that he's actually still on the ship and not on another planet because he still feels the full amount of pain in his leg and it's not reduced like in low g.

  • I want star trek space babble explanations for medical problems. I want house to tell me that it's not a disease, it's a parasite, one that exists only when we're looking for it. A quantum parasite.

  • But it's also not immuloidosis or sarcoidosis.

    "It's environmental" - Foreman

    "You would think it's environmental, that's all they let your people believe about their circumstances" - House

    And then everyone moved on from that casual racism lol

  • Everyone who's ever said that that spends a significant enough time around me changes their mind. Most of the folks that said it had either only seen it as children or never watched it once reaching a point in life that makes the show so relatable.

  • Was thinking that the other day. I love the Maltese falcon, it's got so many tropes for film noir. Then I remember, and then I recall showing my wife The Matrix and her eye rolling so hard at things that became so popular they were overdone. Didn't expect a laugh at the slow mo bullet scene but it definitely cracks me up now too.

  • Normally the people on speakerphone and the person holding the phone are much louder than a standard conversation. If both were in the same room, they could use appropriate volume modulation with respect to others around them.

  • Yeah, people don't take into account quantum positioning, pass-through phenomenon, or the fact that I can't "see" when I plug it in wrong and that makes me think maybe my fingers are dumb and I missed the hole and not that I need to reverse it and try again.

  • Yeah, Gender Queer is definitely a little more graphic than I think the average kid below 12-13 or so really shouldn't be seeing. The illustrations on oral sex are definitely a little more than I'm comfortable with for readers who aren't knowing what they're opening up, mostly because if i had pulled this bad boy out to read on the bus going home, I'd definitely have been bullied, hard.

    I think that book is important for publication, definitely place it in an area designed for teens and those very close to it. But I wouldn't call it borderline pornographic any more than I would have called Catcher in the Rye borderline racist. If I had read this growing up, it might have helped me make sense of things, but I can see why it's such a hot button topic for some and an easy target for others.

  • Oh it's such a fun and novel and not at all dystopian idea they've come up with.

    Content requiring an adult will just require some kind of identification, surely you can't be against providing your ID to any website that hosts adult content or that website checking/accessing/logging with a national archive that you visited said website, right?

    So far, no concrete things put forward, but all of them seem to be related to an ID-required system.

  • Yeah this one subverted some tropes, that's for sure. But hey, when they can deal with the existence of Ashura and the Sumarian pantheon, then they can start getting close to artifacts again. Until then, this guy needs a big museum ban for life
