Man in Hole. The main character gets into trouble but winds up being better from the experience. This is kind of like the plot of Cars where Lightening has to fix the road of a small town he wrecks. Car in Hole. I personally think I'm

"It’s the patronising assumption that … older women will be thrilled by some random stranger giving them flowers." This reminds me of when high schoolers get the "generous" idea of nominating an unpopular girl, who they

So the obvious question is if it can run Crysis. And the answer is yes I think? (if you run it with a Linux kernel?)

The 3 series I owned will likely be the most fun car I'll ever own, but the maintenance was always a multi thousand bill a couple times a year. Even a decade ago they were already charging a couple hundred for map upgrades, not that I

Personally I've had okay luck with the pre moistened lens wipes. You can clean your glasses then proceed to clean whatever screens in your car, phone, laptop, or other surfaces are close by. There's always something dirty within a

I honestly think it's easy to get secondary sources now, but it's still hard to get primary sources. If people have different views of preventing covid they're arguing over different news articles. They aren't arguing ab

Why would CNBC write a headline that clearly doesn't make sense? Would people not understand if they just added the word "to" to the headline? Or does it just sound more alarmist this way? It just makes me think that part of

I'm not sure if I see how boycotting a free version of a series based on a long dead author's public domain work makes a difference one way or another.

I wonder if the causation is reversed when people talk about living a shorter life with fewer social connections. If someone has mental health issues or substance abuse problems they're likely burning through their social connections a

One of the major themes of Wheel of Time is how myth changes over the ages as it passes from person to person, culture to culture. This can be very entertaining in the books because you read the inner thoughts of dozens of protagonists and

While Tolkien certainly has plenty of material that could be filmed, most of it seems to be in short story format where each story would be an hour or two. Amazon is assuredly looking for another Game of Thrones and I don't think they

One thing that the article doesn't appear to discuss is how small issues can escalate quickly if they keep happening over and over. That is, I think a lot of severe criticism happens because communication over the minor issues was neve

I somewhat think of the example with Radiohead as being an exception though. While they aren't one of the top ten bands of the past 25 years in terms of popularity, they are probably one of the top ten in terms of critical acclaim. Peo

Nextdoor posts about crime almost always contain a reaction that normalizes it in one horrific way or another. Like if people complain about their car being broken into, someone always says that they should just leave their doors unlocked.

An associated question is, "why the hell would I want 12 months of msn with a new pc at Best Buy?!?", as I seem to remember most computers being bundled with walled garden isp deals in the late 90s.

Industrial revolution aside, I think it's agreed on that the movies didn't get economics right: that we would absolutely see far more agriculture in Rohan and Gondor. Also, that the Hobbits had far too much food and quality goods

Frankl at least talks about life in terms of the responsibility you take on in your decisions. So in that sense video games are less likely to be meaningful than RVing with your main squeeze.

For someone to get out of a mess they would have to know that they caused a mess in the first place! I'm starting to think trying to get people to use rebase and squash is a losing battle when they frequently just merge without pulling

This is why some people use the unpleasant metaphor of a skin suit to describe most of the continuing franchises of star wars, trek, marvel etc. They aren't primarily being written or inspired by their creators as much as new people we

Just to nitpick, it sounds like you mean "women in the workforce" and not (broader term) "gender equality" as being the reason for the decrease in sex. It should be fair to say that careerism has resulted in less free ti

People saying they're lonely doesn't typically result in others being able to do something about it though. I mean, certainly more empathy is needed towards people who feel that they need more intimacy. The other side of the coin
