In Horizon Forbidden West ::: spoiler spoiler Las Vegas ::: becomes one after a story event

The End of Time in Chrono Trigger is an Oasis in the void instead of the desert.

Winnie the Pooh characters could be translated to DND without much effort: Pooh as a totem Barbarian, Tigger as a Swashbuckling Rogue, Oath of Redemption Paladin Eeoyre, Owl as Nature Domain Cleric, etc. Then you can build a small adventure in the hundred acre woods to collect supplies for a birthday party or something similar

As I live in the south I hear my "how are you all doing" morphing into "howya'lldoin" and there's nothing I can do to stop it

I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this but 30 years ago was the mid 90s, not the 70s-80s

Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don't have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot

Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it'd be hard to stop him

Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don't and they don't get support for. However you can't pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

Which is to say someone who says "my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it" is different from "I've been blackpilled because these Stacys won't consider dating below 8.5/10s"

There're other points to be made with regards to being "too ugly to date", why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I'd bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support

It just occurred to me that this meme needs like 2 modifications to be about Paul Atreides

Just started with YAMS using Plex 2 months ago:

Movies: 241 TV Shows: 30

About 3.5 TB on an 8 TB drive

I bring my water bottle to theaters and nobody gives a flying fuck. 98% of the time it is water but every now and then I do bring an alcoholic beverage and nobody ever bothers checking to make sure it's only water

No, it's basically the same thing as Carl Sagan's cosmic calendar

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It'd be something I could turn on/off and choose what's stats I want to see at any given time

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

I disagree, so this is probably a good post. I view your proposal as similar to the death penalty. If I knew with 100% certainty that this list would only ever be used for absolute shit heads who can't behave then I'd be all for it. However, we live in the real world and there's a lot of edge cases. There was a video of a little girl singing Disney songs over the speaker on a plane that was delayed recently, what if that little girl never got to fly again because her mom told her to do something for internet fame? Maybe a flight attendant goes on a power trip and antagonizes a customer into a moment that gets them banned. Airplanes are the most realistic way of travel in a lot of the world and by far the most realistic way to travel internationally and giving full control of that method of transportation to the whims of mega-corps feels very dangerous to me

You may be interested in The Man in the High Castle it's both a novel by Phillip K. Dick and TV show on Amazon Prime that explores exactly that premise

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

Some more physics things, every planet has a limit on how high the tallest possible mountain is based off their surface gravity, the type of rocks present in the crust, and thickness of the crust. On Earth it turns out that limit is pretty close to Mt Everest's height. Space is still about 50 miles above Everest so I don't think humans could build this ramp with our current understanding of physics

If you want to go to space slowly then you can just do what Felix Baumgartner did and take a special type of balloon to get into space. Unfortunately, if you're not traveling 25,000 mph relative to the surface of the planet, you're going to fall back to the planet. Just like Felix did

So for physics reasons it doesn't really matter what technique you're using to leave Earth. If you're going to try to go to space successfully, you're going to have to go a minimum speed of 25,000 miles per hour. That's called the escape velocity and it's a different value for every body of mass in space

Is it the primary reason? No, I agree.

However it's childish and naive to think both racism and sexism were not significant reasons that America, a deeply racist and sexist country, did not choose a black woman to lead it

Look man, as someone who thought Switch 2 mouse controls were a gimmick and has sunk 17 hours into Civ VII, I don't feel confident enough to tell all these people that they are wrong. If I had been in college and was told people could get scholarships for NASCAR Soccer I would have laughed in your face. Being that cocky is asking to be wrong
