  • Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?

    Jump

  • I choose to play demons as though they can have empathy, but it's always calculated empathy.

    They are intentionally and willfully choosing to act with empathy because it meets some other goal, so even though all demons are fundamentally evil, they are not all fundamentally despicable.

    I say it like it's some high holy road concept thing, but it's just more of a general guideline.

    Demons will do anything they want to do as long as it meets their current objective.

    Assuming we're talking about humanoid demon creatures and not some sort of like ethereal "presence of evil" demon.

  • Julia Roberts: We're losing the art of conversation

    Jump

  • I get that she's trying to provoke conversation and controversy about a film that people are feeling is morally ambiguous, according to the article, but at the same time it is to me ironic that Julia Roberts is renowned for being famously horrible to work with on set, being rude and unapproachable and distant and disliked by many of her actor co-workers.

    Like, maybe her perception of the art of conversation has been affected by the fact that many of her co-workers do not enjoy talking to her because she is unfriendly, which blunts the headline of this article in my opinion.

  • Holy shit, thank you, i've been using Linux, so icecat, but for windows I meant to say waterfox

  • Recommend Icefox as a replacement.

  • Its fine.

    Best advice I can give you is start where you are with what you have.

    What you need will become apparent as you do.

  • ‘All the magic is going away’: are on-set images ruining movies?

  • If a headline asks a question with a yes/no answer, the answer is always no.

  • ‘Highlander’: Dave Bautista to Play Villain Opposite Henry Cavill in Amazon MGM’s Remake

    Jump

  • First off, you're wrong. Second off, it has held up better than The Crow. Third, you're wrong.

    Just because people say there's no such thing as a wrong opinion doesn't mean that that's actually true, and I'm going to use your response as evidence thereof.

    All kidding aside, which yes I am kidding, I respect your right to have your own opinion about the movie. It's not even in my top 20. I just think that it's a very good movie, specifically for the time and the framing that it was placed in.

    It told at the time what was a very new and interesting story with a crossover between fantasy and modern reality and bringing computers into fantasy story was basically unheard of at the time.

    It realistically approached the concept of immortals in the modern world, while telling the backstory of the immortals, and explaining why we should care about the protagonist, and wedging in a love story and romances, the mentor's training saga of the traditional Hero's Journey, a bunch of fight scenes, and it did all of that without being a 3 movie franchise.

    It's an incredibly ambitious movie, and in my opinion, just because it did not reach the highest heights, does not mean that it did not scale a mountain.

    On a scale of one to five, I would honestly give it a four.

    The acting is pretty good.

    The storyline is interesting and unique.

    And you also have to take into account what was available to the writers and the movie producers at the time.

  • ‘Highlander’: Dave Bautista to Play Villain Opposite Henry Cavill in Amazon MGM’s Remake

    Jump

  • This movie is going to have to be amazing to have been worth being made at all, in my opinion.

    If they're not aiming for better than the original in every regard, they should just stop now.

  • Epic Games Store is coming to the Play Store as Google loses in court appeal

    Jump

  • Even if you are against epic for valid reasons, you have to admit that competition is good and they're not going to be the only challenger.

  • ‘Rick & Morty’ Lands A Presidential Spinoff At Adult Swim

    Jump

  • I mean, I like Keith David as much as anybody else, but the president's character does not deserve its own fucking spinoff

  • Why do AC's not produce energy?

    Jump

  • It has the option to go to traditional electric heating if meed be, And if I really wanted to, I could rig up a system where it would vent the colder air outside, and it apparently can work down to nearly 30 degrees farenheight so I could just use outside air exclusively for it if I really wanted to 9-10 months out of the year.

  • Why do AC's not produce energy?

    Jump

  • One of the later more modern uses of a heat pump is a heat pump water heater where it takes the Heat out of the air and pumps it into the water.

    I installed one and it dropped my power *bill by almost $30 a month even though I went from a 55-gallon hot water heater to an 80-gallon water heater.

    I think the issue is finding a use for that heat energy that makes sense. Generating electricity with it doesn't make a lot of sense, but heating water so that you spend less energy heating water does.

  • When A Good Show Has A Bad Ending

    Jump

  • Flip side, the guy that killed Hitler also caused the deaths of millions of people all over the world including approximately 6,000,000 jews. Like, his whole thing ended on a high note. Does that invalidate all of the bad beforehand?

  • Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’

    Jump

  • I remember when people used to complain about the annoyance and difficulty inherent in keeping up with the Joneses, and yet it seems like we have learned nothing as a society.

    If you're gonna spend $500 on a Switch 2 because you want little Billy to be able to play the newest latest games so that his friends won't think he's a weirdo, then you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound, fucking shell out.

    But if you just want little Billy to have some games to play to keep himself active and interested and, you know, not spiraling into drug addiction and depression, because apparently that's the only alternative to being a gamer, you could buy them like a really nice 200 some odd dollar Anbernic handheld that comes pre-installed with, you know, 5,000 video games and let him play that.

    And if his friends complain about how he can't play the latest Switch 2 Mario Kart game, you tell billy to tell them to go suck a dick while he's 100%ing Majora's Mask.

  • Warning: Lutris discord tolerates far right, racism and genocide apologia

    Jump

  • So what you're saying is that having nothing to do with Lutris itself, there is a discord where people get together and say things that are hateful.

    But we can still use Lutris. It does not mean that we are endorsing the hateful rhetoric of the discord, right?

  • Thrifted Griswald is contaminated with lead :(

    Jump

  • I wonder if you tried the electrolysis trick to remove all of the coating and then tested the bare metal if it would still have lead contamination.

    If the coating contains lead and you get rid of it, and then the bare metal doesn't, then you could just re-season the pan and it would be fine, right?

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • If you have the lid closed, you're looking at 3 to 15 watts to have a laptop running in the background doing some basic server shit.

    Maybe a little more under high load, but those are going to be intermittent and not constant.

    I'm just saying it's not that much more electricity usage, and the recycling more than offsets the CO2.
