1,400 | Who needs Native American actors when you have Rob Schneider | why not have mel brooks take over the thing and make blazing saddles 2(even at 88, he would make something funnier than Sandler) |
1,401 | And here I thought I was the only kid who had the Wayne's World soundtrack....I finally feel like I belong somewhere. | Me too and it was awesome from what I remember. |
1,402 | Man, I bet that was embarrassing. I bet everybody was just downright disgusted by that. I know I would be. You might want to see a doctor if that's a regular occurrence, you may have cholera or some bowel disorder. | Yeah, people are making jokes but this shit is serious. |
1,403 | This is impossible because it's subjective based upon which music you prefer. There are different styles of singing: Pop, jazz, blues/rock, Opera/classical, Soul/Gospel, Hip hop, etc. Just because a singer is great in gospel doesn't mean they'd be great in pop (and vice versa). That's why I've always had an appreciation of Kelly Clarkson, because her voice is so versatile. She can sing just about any style and sound good. But that doesn't mean she's the "best of all time". | What about a singer’s pitch, clarity, versatility, ability to transition from chest to head voice, stamina, ability to do runs, range |
1,404 | There are many other masterpieces I haven't watched. What makes this worth watching over the rest? You need only watch a little to appreciate the innovations it brought to a new medium, and the story itself was written to glorify terrorism - how many lives were lost to the violence it inspired? | Just watch his next movie Intolerance instead - it's far superior anyways and it doesn't have the white power dick sucking problem to it. |
1,405 | I'm glad to see this here. /r/movies has a giant raging boner for the anti-CGI circlejerk, yet 95% of CGI goes completely unnoticed by these same people who say CGI is ruining films. | It kinda makes me sad because there are people in that industry here, I bet it's not nice to constantly read that all your line of work sucks and is ruining movies... |
1,406 | Yeah, I used it on a fire sale HP Touchpad. Nice but the lack of app support made the entire OS a glorified web browser/email device. Put CyanogenMod dual-boot on there and rarely use the webOS side any longer. | > Nice but the lack of app support made the entire OS a glorified web browser/email device. Put CyanogenMod dual-boot on there and rarely use the webOS side any longer. True - but it was the nicest tablet interface I've used. Switching between both my apps was a joy. |
1,407 | Will Smith was good in SS and the movie made a ton of money. Who would be fired over that? | On the other hand, Will Smith was the best part of SS. The movie would have been much worse than it was had Will Smith not played the shit out of that role. |
1,408 | Reddit secretly loves the song and it knows it. It's too catchy for anybody to *truly* hate. | If only Radiohead had wrote/performed it. It'd never leave r/music's front page. |
1,409 | Yep commbank, however its usually much quicker and easier to just grab my card and do it that way. | Yeah. I've occasionally forgotten my card so it's a nice back up. Also works a lot faster on vending machines for some reason |
1,410 | I saw the daughter actually crying about "justice being served" and all this bullshit. It's not like Pharrell killed your father, whose fortune you've already inherited. Donate the $7mil to a worthy cause, fuck that family. Edit: Honestly had no idea the grandfather killed the father, or that anyone killed him for that matter! I haven't followed this story closely, I just think "Blurred Lines" sounds different enough from Gaye's hit and that this is a slippery slope for the music industry. That grandfather is a dick too. | I'd cry too if I got $7 million for doing nothing. |
1,411 | TIL i am the only one on this webitse that enjoyed kick ass 2 | i liked the second one a lot more than the first |
1,412 | And Chrome was absolute worst at this. I stopped using it for a while because of this | It's funny, I remember switching from Firefox to Chrome because of RAM, and then switched back because of RAM a few years later. |
1,413 | Except a search engine should give you results you want | That's why we're in this privacy mess in the first place, people who don't understand how technology works ordering people who do to erode privacy rights to get richer. "Want" is a very broad term. I want everyone to be better at searching for stuff, then maybe we wouldn't have half this shit. |
1,414 | [Another cool fact I forgot to add:] During an exterior shoot in an urban residential area, a man in one of the apartments above the working film crew got so annoyed with the noise that he threw a 40 oz. beer bottle at them. The bottle hit director of photography Jeff Cronenweth, who, although he was cut open, was not seriously injured; the man was arrested shortly afterward. | I don't know why I read that as: >the man was arrested shot afterward. but I did. Probably justified, too. |
1,415 | How about a documentary: Dear Zachary. Keep a box of tissues handy | Just realize a few other people have suggested this. And for good reason. One hungover morning me and my 5 roommates put it on. Waterworks |
1,416 | You missed a great episode where he plays the Red Hood from an alternate universe that is their version of Batman since Bruce is the evil Owlman. Jeff Bennet does a great job, different, but definitely in-line with what they were going for. That show is really just a great homage to silver/golden age comics so it's understandable that some people wouldn't like it. Everyone needs to watch the show just to see Joe DiMaggio (Bender, Jake the Dog) play the best Aquaman ever. He'll make you love Aquaman. | That was the only other episode I saw. It was like Mermaid Man from Spongebob! |
1,417 | I'd rather listen to Rocky, way more fun to listen to. Aesop is good to relax to, but he's spitting near gibberish 90% of the time. | In all honesty I prefer old school , like geto boys and easzy e. I'm not going to hate on a guy making money by rappin about cars and money. But really?.... ASAP ROCKY, might as well went with ace cube or snap dog |
1,418 | While good news overall, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see parts of Episode 3 in full 3D. | Yeah they'd finally add some depth to the *"you were the chosen one!"* scene. |
1,419 | Where is the setting of that movie? I've always wanted to move there. Kind of reminds me of oregon. | It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it's in Maine. |
1,420 | Naive, at best. Did you know Wash DC politicians avoid gmail accounts? Its a thing on the Hill. "Dont get a gmail account" | >You know no human EVER reads your shit unless it gets requested by law enforcement right? Probably why and on top of the fact that they're high interest targets. |
1,421 | It may be arrogant but more importantly, it's accurate. | It's not like the only media the rest of the world encounters is American. There's plenty of home-grown media in every country, so why should we be expected to know everything about Americans but Americans can't be bothered to do the same thing even when it's the most popular children series in the world |
1,422 | The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium, one of the best flow through albums ive ever heard, | I agree. Definitely a good flow there. Although my favorite is Frances the Mute. |
1,423 | Sam Smith said that Die Another Day was one of his favorite Bond songs.... | Oh dear god, please tell me this isn't true. That should've always been one of the standard questions when the producers interview an artist to do a Bond song. "What's your favorite Bond song?" "Die Ano--" "OUT!" |
1,424 | did you even read their statement as to why they wouldn't post it? It makes a whole lot of sense. also read this means pretty much nothing for 4chan. | But they posted the first one? And its always been the site to go to see any sort of video you were looking for? Politicians and Hollywood are killing the internet as we know it. |
1,425 | ... so she never uttered perfect... I have done plenty of good work but it has never been called perfect, as they are not interchangable. | No, I got something like 98%. I asked what was wrong with it, and the answer I was given was "nobody is perfect". There was nothing wrong with my essay. |
1,426 | >It's a website, of course it uses cookies. ="It's a text document, of course it stores information on my computer." Most web pages have no valid reason to do that. The cookie pop-ups are annoying and that's a good thing: Cookies have always been bad, now at least they are visibly bad. I wish web sites that have no valid reason to use cookies (like authentication) were barred from doing so altogether. | You can block cookies by website. A bit of work, but there's probably an extension to make it easier. |
1,427 | This edgy statement always gives off a negative vibe, as if being the product is inherently bad. You still have to figure out **how** you are the product. Being an audience for advertisement isn't bad for example, eg Television, YouTube, etc. | > This edgy statement always gives off a negative vibe, as if being the product is inherently bad. It shouldn't. It's so common in our everyday lives that to think negatively of it is to entirely miss the point. While it's often used as a smug dismissal, it's important that people understand this fact. Not because it's necessarily a bad thing, but intentionally confusing this relationship is common among unscrupulous businesses. Understanding your business relationships is important to ensure you're not being taken advantage of. |
1,428 | The Wolfman had an amazing trailer but the movie sucked | I agree, I wanted to like this so bad but couldn't. Some scenes were awesome but it just didn't do it for me. |
1,429 | Mine only charges really slow, so that really sucks. Still a great device. | You're using a 2.1A charger right? Make sure you're not using a charger for an iPhone or another smartphone. Those are usually only 1A and will charge slow. Also don't use a cheap 3rd party charger that doesn't put out 2.1A. |
1,430 | Author needa recognize and give respect to Billy Faulkner. He wrote The Sound and the Fury. Not Hemingway. Big ups to Benjy. | I let him know and he fixed it. But don't worry, he was suitably embarrassed. |
1,431 | in other words: if i told you that only 15% of doctors made over $30,000 and the other 85% made way less, would you still say 'there's money in being a doctor'? Is it still worth it to go to medical school for years? | That would tell me demand was low or talent pool large and only the best doctors make money. I think that is a perfectly acurrate modle for this situation. I shouldn't be able to go make money as a recording artist, but the best of the best should be able to and Gambino has been able to because he is in that upper teir. |
1,432 | Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. Don't worry, it's not about religion, per say...at least not how you think. It's f'n hilarity with an undertone of thoughtfulness. I highly recommend it. It always fills me with peace while making me laugh out loud. | Even just thinking about this book cheers me up. It is definitely one of the most hilarious yet insightful things I've read. |
1,433 | and that really translates into insulting to ptsd victims to you? | The whole reason that PTSD victims and people like them spend hours in therapy is because they are inherently afraid. The idea of this movie is that you can be trained to just "turn off fear." If that were true (and yes, it's a movie, but it is still meant to mirror real life), then PTSD would be nearly nonexistent. It's an insult to think that they can just "stop being afraid," when they've been fighting fear for most of their lives. |
1,434 | > EDIT: Why the fuck am I getting down voted? Because this isn't a remake it just has the same title. | I was referring to the name as "the original one". I know that it isn't a remake. |
1,435 | I think I'm the only student at UW-Eau Claire that doesn't have a raging boner for Justin Vernon. Not to say he isn't talented, I just don't like that style of music, but I like his attitude in this case. They came to play two shows on campus a couple months ago and people who hadn't even heard of the band a week prior were up at 5am waiting in line for tickets. Like I said, raging boners. | I was at the December 12 show at UWEC! It was the first time I had heard any of their music (save for Skinny Love). It was a fucking INCREDIBLE show. They killed it. Justin Vernon has a monstrous stage presence |
1,436 | He's not though. Everyone has a different idea of who average Joe is, which is largely defined by one's friends and acquaintances. That's never going to be more than about, what, 150 people or so, max? Not a large enough sample size to draw any meaningful conclusions, especially if they contradict quantifiable metrics like global sales figures. That's why the appeal to 'average Joe' is a red herring fallacy: it's used to discredit otherwise quantifiable facts by means of ultimately anecdotal distraction. | If the goal is to meet and make 150 friends before death then I'm 10 years past due. |
1,437 | Their output since Frog is just amazing. Their next year's Zootopia and Moana look great, too. | I honestly think we're about to hit a second Disney renaissance! |
1,438 | Okay, so they made better stuff a decade ago, great | My Seagate 1 TB external hard drive from 6 years ago is still going strong, so not exactly 1 decade ago. How do people have their hard drives die so often? I keep my external hard drive in a drawer that I open regularly, do people treat their hard drive even rougher? |
1,439 | That's what we said about KotH and it's been gone what? Almost 2 years now. Miss it so much. Now I use Futurama and Bob's Burgers but I really want to go back to Arlen! | I watched King of the Hill for the first time on Netflix. I loved it. I had just seen my favorite episode of all time (Dale to the Chief) when I went to continue and found it was gone. Has it been two years already?? |
1,440 | whaaaa, I'm in Kingston Ontario and had no idea! | Not surprised. People in Kingston really have no idea. EDIT: Come on Ottawans. I'm getting downvoted by Kingstonians. Come to my rescue! |
1,441 | > Obama (and Clinton incidentally) voted for the original Patriot act. He made his Patriot Act support very clear when he was running for president. This all really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. | I don't recall him ever talking about it, and people always seemed surprised about this fact. One issue he talked about quite a bit during the campaign was single payer health care. Once he was elected it became taboo to even mention it to him. He lied about so much during the campaign. I guess it's not surprising, but it boils my blood how these politicians continue to get away with it election after election. |
1,442 | There are several thousand tonnes of molding 1960s gospel and vintage Reader's Digest safe for grandma crooners to be used as fodder found at every thrift store in the nation, do you really think they are paying top dollar for some good zep to cut up? | i just really love the look of vinyls and its someones art being destroyed. |
1,443 | I've seen the trailers, and I can say with absolute 99% certainty that Ebert is wrong. | Wow you just made yourself look so stupid. You basically said: "I haven't seen the movie, and I know it sucks!" |
1,444 | Except no one really uses the phrase "put on their skin". | Yeah, I don't hear it either and it is a bit weird to think about. |
1,445 | I'm really hesitating between getting a normal eReader (Kobo Touch, Aura; Kindle Paperwhite) or one of their LCD multimedia tablets (Kobo Arc; Kindle Fire). | The screen isn't a problem on LCD but all the other apps and web access is. You just end up flicking to check mail, twitter, Reddit instead of reading. Get a Kindle if you want to read. |
1,446 | Was it an anime or cg film? 2D or 3D? was 2004 the year it was released or was it on tv? | I think maybe 2000s. I think it was anime. IM kind of leaning towards a miyazaki film. So it would be anime. Im not sure about the tv part i just remember the ending they were getting reincarnated and it was a love story. |
1,447 | Beloved by Toni Morrison was just packed with as much meaning as poetry in every line. | Agree completely. That book made me reconsider a whole lot. |
1,448 | No, Macs do not support Vulkan and most likely never will. They got removed from the Vulkan slides as a member from last year to this one. Apple chose to go with their own API called Metal instead for some unfathomable reason. | Apple is part of Khronos, and in fact are one of its biggest sources of income. The group that created Vulkan. Yes, they're also porting Metal, but Apple has plenty of incentive to allow Vulkan, simply for ROI. IIRC Apple went so far as to state that it's going to support Vulkan a few times. |
1,449 | Since when does 50/50 weight distribution imply good handling, braking or accelerating? It's only 50/50 weight distribution when it's not moving. | Who said it did? I said it was a better *balance* than the NSX... which is precisely what the post I quoted said was unmatched: *"It's focus on hp/weight ratio and --->balance<--- are unmatched by any production model to this day*." - Olmifon* Is there a particular reason a few of you seem incapable of actually reading the posts you're responding to? |
1,450 | *DAMN* t-swizzle so fine in the firelight. Brb, writing KanyeXTaylor fanfics. | That was her watching Kanye perform this song with a flamethrower. [I like the dance she started to do after she came to her senses] |
1,451 | Perhaps it would have been better to "swat" the teenager who was swatting other people? | Unexpectedly, at least once a month till he's 21. Of course costs would be on him. Since he's such an internet bully, this also should be filmed and posted for entertainment of crowd. |
1,452 | how illegal is this on a scale from 1 to 7? | 2 or 3? It's definitely more legal than stealing or murder. |
1,453 | The teaser trailer for "Savages" that has Benicio Del Toro in character in a mask and sunglasses (and doing a fucking awesome Mexican accent) being "interrogated" makes that movie look like a deep, gritty character piece about life in the Mexican drug cartels. The actual trailer makes it look like a popcorn flick with explosions where the white guys save their white girlfriend from the evil Mexicans and lots o' stuff explodes. I guess we'll see what it's actually like. | So, which one is misleading? Or are you speculating? I think Savages is going to rock. |
1,454 | > I am Legend. Thats a novel to be fair. | I'd probably consider under 100 pages to be a short story. |
1,455 | But didn’t Apple sing a contract saying they would pay these fees (don’t know the full story) | If you had to sell a product to keep making a profit, then were basically forced into a predatory deal that was possibly illegal, you would sue as well |
1,456 | Well... fuck. I'm not sure I'd call that story intense, though. It's more disturbingly graphic/disgusting than anything. | Probably. What exactly does *intense* mean in this context, anyway? Dictionaries don't help with slang usage, and I might be using it in a different sense than what you interpret it as. I figured it meant "powerful; striking; having a forceful effect". And to be honest, the frightening believability and matter-of-fact-ly presented graphic detail of "Guts" did leave me stunned and panting for breath at the end of it. |
1,457 | Hamill confirmed therr was no new reading of the lines. So suck my mother fucking dick. | No thank you. I still think its a new reading. |
1,458 | In conjunction with Uber? Holy shit the future actually seems not so bad anymore. | There are so many other possibilities: * Collaborate with the NSA. Make suspected terrorists late for all flights. * Sync up with McDonalds and Starbucks.. or GrubHub. Let people enter orders and drive-thru and get food brought out to them. * Work with Nintendo. Put in video games and a good HUD. Like Mario Kart IRL. * Revolutionize school buses... or even mass transit. Some are more serious than others. |
1,459 | *Eaters* is much more enjoyable if you're familiar with *Beowulf*, but it's still presented in a way that's entertaining if you're not. IIRC, the foreword for one of the book's releases indicated the inspiration for *Eaters* came from a conversation between Crichton and a friend about how Beowulf is at its core a bland and uninteresting story, and Crichton rebutted that it was a fine plot, but it was the archaic presentation and style that made it a bore. So he set out to retell the same story in a far more entertaining way that would resonate with a modern fiction reader. | >So he set out to retell the same story in a far more entertaining way that would resonate with a modern fiction reader. wow. that is fascinating! thanks for the insight. |
1,460 | I wasn't implying they shouldn't, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of not bagging on Penn. | is it so much hypocrisy or product of an ill-informed generation? i've got my own thoughts on the penn/madonna marriage - and i find him to be extraordinarily talented - but we're talking an internet-void late 80's meltdown compared to the all seeing, all knowing omnipotence of celebrity media today... one that involved two of the biggest musicians on the planet. like all things, right or wrong, people will forgive, forget, move on, and push it to the back of their minds. the same way people still loved ike turker and rick james when they faded into the night. |
1,461 | To be fair there's like 5 solos in that song | At least they didn't cut out the solo in the middle of freebird. |
1,462 | If you like this, you should listen to (and watch) [The Cello Song] an 8-Cello version by The Piano Guys. | that cellist always looks like he's on crack or something lol. cello high? |
1,463 | My life is completely unchanged having seen it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. Just felt.....meh. Ebert was pretty much spot on here. | Did you... expect your life to be changed? By a movie? Called Thor??? |
1,464 | He's superintelligent, allowing him to build bad ass things. In the first movie, when Stane tried to get the engineers and scientists to build an arc reactor, they say it isn't possible, to which Stane rebutts that Stark did it in a cave. The scientist only says that they're not Tony Stark, as if despite them being some of the best available, he's just that much smarter. | In other words Stark is a genius among geniuses, that is his super power. |
1,465 | Apple definitively changed the market because they got there first with a product people wanted. (Missing basic smartphone features didn't seem to matter to the market.) It doesn't mean they're better than Android now but the v1 iPhone was *absolutely* better than v1 Android. And v1 Android had even more time to catch up before releasing. Google was way too slow, if they weren't it would be a very different mobile landscape today. Recently, Apple has been chasing Android more than vice versa, but Apple only lept to the top of the heap because every other major player let them do it. | Android was the weird geek alternative to iphones until about the galaxy S3. Then the hardware and the software were really competitive and comparable. |
1,466 | It's such a consistent and satisfying read from beginning to end. | I am baffled by this perspective. I was loving it until the ending, which is the worst ending to anything I've ever read or seen. It totally ruins the entire series. And Saga is just too ridiculous and campy for me. |
1,467 | A non-government, self-regulated organization like the ESRB or the MPAA complete with suggested ages and content descriptors, but absolutely zero weight of law, would be quite helpful. | I'm so glad I'm not the only person who thinks so! If I win the lottery, fancy starting it with me? |
1,468 | Cue next year's headline: "How the rollout of 6G will change everything". I thought 3G was supposed to change everything. And 4G. And 4G LTE. | 4G is LTE. '4G LTE' is somethign American carriers invented to make you guys believe you had 4G, while actually you were on HSPA+, soemthing that had been out for years and is categorized as 3G or sometimes 3G+ in the rest of the world. |
1,469 | Internet is incredibly keen at jumping to conclusions and stating exaggerations. I never said anything against them as a production company, only against their actions with the set times. That's all. | I can respect that. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. |
1,470 | What bothers me is that people go 'I'm just not into silly scifi like Her". As in because the plot involves romantic interest in an AI, it's automatically beyond suspension of disbelief. It's such a beautiful and meaningful film and people write it off so easily for being far fetched in their eyes. | People seem to think that Her's main theme is our relationship to technology, but it's not. It is about the fleeting nature of love and relationships. The final words in the film are from Theodore's letter to his ex-wife, and the film is about that. Samantha only serves a surrogate for the misguided ideals that Theo projects onto his wife, but when she integrates into the singularity, we see this parallel of Theo letting go of both Samantha and his wife. |
1,471 | I wonder how the people who really pulled it off feel about Musk getting the credit. | I can speak to that. He is fucking dedicated and serious as fuck about this work. For better or worse, SpaceX's trajectory is a direct result of his daily decisions. As an employee, you do not try to bullshit him and his expectations are above and beyond what may be reasonable. He definitely deserves the most credit and has the most to lose here. |
1,472 | I seriously just spent an hour watching youtube videos of her live performances and being BLOWN away by all of them. Love her. | I know. It's so easy to do that, they're all good. |
1,473 | I agree. I like the MMLP, but after that I just couldn't listen to him anymore. I still can't. I don't understand all the praise. His flow is nice, everyone knows that, but in my opinion he hasn't had the combo of a good beat, good lyrics, and good flow in one of his songs since Stan. | Exactly. The Eminem Show had some COMMENDABLE songs... toy soldiers was still very Eminem, but this is child's play.. These are just babble of lyrics meshed together without that particular flow that fans hold as a classic that he invented in Marshall Mathers Lp. There STILL aren't any rappers (that Im aware of), that can create such a precise flow and have every line sound amazing on its own, the way Eminem did in the Marshall Mathers LP. |
1,474 | And that's why using "near you" is almost always misleading. 99% of times it's some region locked thing, most often not even more than one country. | Unless you live in America, the country where Google was founded and is headquarterd, then it almost always works. |
1,475 | Going back to watch that film today I kinda wonder if it is really that much worse than most of the shit people cream their jeans over today. See: Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor 2. | Iron Man 2 was awful (at least compared to the first. I guess it's hyperbole to say it was absolutely fucking dreadful). Captain America and Thor 2 were so forgettable. |
1,476 | The lady friend asked me once if I have heard of them (which I had at the time) and sent me this same video. Once again, i'm surprised people pick THIS song from that album over all of the others. | why is that? it's my favourite song from the album - except for the intro, possibly. |
1,477 | Dont forget [Angles.] Very dark song about violence, hate and suicide. | That song never gets old for me, Pip puts a great amount of emotion and character into each verse as well, exceptional song. |
1,478 | I just couldn't manage to finish Atlas Shrugged. My favorite video game series is based off of it (Bioshock), I got about 1/3 of the way through, and just gave up. It's a books hat has parts that are exiting and page turning, but others that are dry and hard to get through. | Bioshock is pretty critical of Randian theory, so it would make sense that you wouldn't automatically like her work. It's kind of like reading Mein Kampf and relating it to Wolfenstein - yeah, there are a lot of references there but you probably aren't going to be like "wow, this book really nails it and is an enjoying read!" |
1,479 | Probably because the article we're commenting on is entirely about the release of the book in question. | Not sure why you're getting upvoted for answering a question. Here's a downvote. |
1,480 | Thanks! Yes, I am writing a new High Fantasy series in a new world. Probably hear about in early 2017 I think :-) | Thank you so much for replying just wanted to also say, that I got my Husband into your books to and he absolutely loved sabriel. |
1,481 | I used to think the same. But then one thing dawned on me: someone else takes care of shit working. I don't have to manage my own e-mail server, I use gmail. Music? Spotify. Backups? Crashplan. Similarly at work, we have shed most of our self-hosted support software and gone full SaaS - email, time tracking, project planning, code hosting, automated testing, team communication... And it's just so much more convenient. Things are up to date, no time is spent dicking around with tool installation and maintenance. Yes, there are bigger dollar costs associated with these services. But when you factor in your / colleagues time spent, it's actually cheaper to have someone else handle it. | Exactly, its very very hard to keep services running and patched and deployed. Its cheaper to pay someone else who specialized in doing something and often times to do it yourself the up front costs are huge, not to mention if you no longer need something or it doesn't pan out how you want you aren't stuck with it. |
1,482 | It's not like their target demo has any fucking clue what they're saying. | Oh god! It looks like there's been a penetration by an uniterable traceback static void loop which is causing a PQL reversal-hovering ping-string-spawn Peloponnesian firestrike bit-flip recall bias-taint masquerading as a Ukrainian prehensile cling-swap.....I've seen this before....quick hit some more keys or we're fucked... |
1,483 | But isn't that the point of the controversy? People call religious things myths to be disrespectful. However, apparently with native american legends, there's not even a consideration that to native americans, these stories are not "myths". It's not even given the "respect" of a thought-out attack, it's just assumed that it's appropiate to call their stories myths. A semantic mistake would imply that Rowling could just as well have used legend but just chose "myth" randomly. On the other hand, it could be indicative of a lack of consideration of what native american religion means to people. A consideration that _is_ present when other religions are concerned, because if she were to call their stories "myths" it would be a deliberate decision. | If something actually is a myth, calling it a myth is not offensive. Calling it a legend is inaccurate, because that hints that it could be true, when it is not true. |
1,484 | I am man I am monster. If you are into stuff like in flames or kill switch engage. Or rebolution pretty good laid back stuff. | Shit dude, I think I'm going to love Rebolution! If you don't know The Black Seeds you should check them out. Haven't listened to the others yet but will have a listen to em, thanks! |
1,485 | So? Ive been smoking weed for 14 years. Its kept me from blowing my fucking brains out. Ive quit a few times. Theres always one point in the day were I think " right now Id be so much happier with a joint". Why? Because I can forgot about all the bs I cant do anything about. If not I sit there and obsess about my problems. No amount of therapy or meds ever touched those issuses. A few hits of the bong sure takes care of it though. | I smoke every day and it contributes to me wanting to blow my brains out. I'm just habituated to it. |
1,486 | I nearly used Aphex Twin as an example. He really defines where electronic music was going in the 90s, apart from all the basic one two beat techno stuff. | him and squarepusher. the venetian snares took some of the reigns as aphex faded away and squarepusher decided voice modulation was a good idea . . . where do I go from there? I've been out of it a while. What should I go to if these are the places I've known and loved and need new music in the vein? |
1,487 | I keep it on flat. I listen to a wide variety of genres, metal, classical, musicals, podcasts, etc. Flat will keep a decent balance across all styles, also keeps what the producer/mixing artist intended for me to hear. | I didn't view Flat as being what the producer intended for what you're suppose to hear. I thought of it as, producers anticipate an equalizer, and make the levels in the track boost-able for certain frequencies, to get the most out of the song for your preference. They could put a particular track or frequency range up to 11 on their end and the album because it could sound great for their speakers, but with an equalizer, it would be overkill. Another reason is, that with adjustments like that, you accommodate for what type of speaker you are listening through, to get the best sound. Quite a difference between a full floor surround, and ear buds. |
1,488 | Looking good helps sell space, but that's not really my point, e.g. a zipper in the back is not functional. | "How would survival in Space be possible without, Ralph Lauren Suit, Gucci Helmet, Timberland Boots and Chanel Gloves" |
1,489 | Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime: Revolution Calling > Operation Mindcrime > Speak | The album is brilliant. But I'd shift it one down the tracklist. Operation Mindcrime > Speak > Spreading the Disease |
1,490 | Sony gadgets are like Renault or Citroen cars. Very nice to look at, but based on previous experience I really wouldn't want to own one. | Nice to look at??? Strange taste you got there... |
1,491 | > Note that x86 SSE instructions are already 128-bit. Those aren't general-computing instructions, though. A more promising route would be future versions of [OpenCL] | Indeed, while SSE registers are 128-bit they can't be used to do a single 128-bit operation; only two 64-bit or four 32-bit operations in parallel. I don't know why I even mentioned it. OP's question is more along the lines of "what if we double the size of every CPU register and the memory data bus and kept everything else the same?" which would certainly bring a performance improvement in any software which uses 128-bit or higher precision. |
1,492 | this turned into a big TIL, today i learned that apparently making a song better means just working it up making them louder and annoying. will keep the originals for most of the above listed thanks 😆 except “hurt,” and “got to get you into my life” by earth wind and fire. | Of the three I listed two are far quieter than the originals, though. |
1,493 | Ultron is...a bad movie. And by that I mean the plot and narrative structure is bad. But each scene is good, and the acting, humor, action is all great. The problem is pacing and how it's cut together, but every scene is entertaining and good on its own | I felt that way about the first avengers, too. Mostly I thought the dialogue was really poorly written, and like you said, the structure and plot were bad. How does age of Ultron compare, in your opinion? |
1,494 | Pshh, everybody in [/r/movies](/r/movies) saw Drive the day it came out. | I actually just got around to redboxing it last night heh |
1,495 | I literally just tested it. If chrome is bogging you down super fast maybe you should look at what extensions you have installed. I use about 4. Adblock, RES, pocket, and one I forgot. | I have five tabs open right now, two of which are playing video, one has a flash or javascript based UI (path of exile skill calculator) chrome://memory-redirect says 1.2GB total used. admittedly, larger than firefox, but nowhere near 2.2gb. adblock and some other random extensions like Imagus/Hoverzoom/whatever its called now. |
1,496 | it's a 2 minute 30 second theatrical trailer. Not a teaser | 2 minutes according to [BBFC] and [Alberta Film Ratings] The Hobbit's Facebook and Twitter both call it a teaser trailer. It will probably be like the AUJ teaser trailer. A bunch of action shots pierced together with little plot info. |
1,497 | Involving super heroes. That's the issue. The Watchmen were never superheroes. Aside from Dr. Manhattan. When I say disconnected I mean that it was poorly put together. He relied on nostalgia from the comic to make the movie for him. He took away what made the comic (Watchmen) great. Within the first 5 minutes the Comedian is punching holes in walls and breaking tables in half. Rorschach is leaping 20 feet in the air to get into Nite Owl's apartment and Silk Spectre and Nite Owl are kicking people into dumpsters, denting the metal. They're regular people. Not superheroes. Took away so much for me. I could go on for hours on how what bothered me but it would turn into a wall of text. | Either you don't understand what makes a movie, or you're confusing your dissatisfaction stemming from how it treated the source-material with how it didn't work as a stand-alone movie. There's nothing inherently wrong with a movie exaggragating human abilities. |
1,498 | Microsoft never did this crap. You can argue OOXML, sort of, but DOC is a special case. | To be fair, OOXML wasn't even a terrible idea. Doc as a file format was pretty much proprietary and the move to xml probably makes it easier for other software developers to code their own implementations of docx interpreters. ODF uses the same xml concept, but it was the one free software advocates prefered because of concerns microsoft would go back to making a locked down format after or while they got people to move to ooxml. One of the more interesting tidbits about ooxml files is you can actually take the images out of them because they're essentially zip files. |
1,499 | 5.) Will we see Serkis himself onscreen, or will his character be rendered through performance capture? “I can’t say a single thing about that. I’m sorry!” wait what? i thought we were talking about what he CAN say? | 1. I. 2. am. 3. afraid. 4. that. 5. I. 6. am. 7. unable. 8. to. 9. say. 10. anything. |
