Yeah, nowadays the word is used from its brutality, not the exact number. The point is not just that every 10th was killed, but that the rest of them were made to do it.

Oh yes! A lot of the story beats are the same or similar, but different characters die and different survive so it’s still very suspenseful even if you’ve seen the movie a dozen times. Speaking from experience.

The second book then goes off in a completely different direction that the movie (or rather the other way around), so that one is a great read too.

Basically the raptors in Jurassic Park (the book)

Yeah, I’m sure he can turn a blind eye on gay sex if it’s between a grown man and a little boy.

Some people are more animals than others.

Why, yes. I do like that!

Huh. I never thought of Trump as super duper but it makes sense in this context.

Found the guy from Derby!

Race is a social construct, not genetic.

Not feeding trolls is a lost art.

You have a plan for that?

Wouldn’t work. If SKG succeeds, it would be illegal shut down the game and thus invalidate all these permanent transactions (no matter how “micro” they are) people paid for.

I don’t think that would work. They could lock their games behind a monthly subscription. At that point you’re paying for temporary access with clearly defined end date and thus the game getting shut down later is no longer fraudulend. At that point you just have to not be a dumbass and rent a game instead of buying one.

I feel like the whole movie is just an excuse for them to blow up that one tower from both directions, meaning it only ever existed for a few seconds. That’s peak.

I guess you could say that they pincered the tower though, in which case I agree.

I’ve heard the notion that rising entropy is required to be able to create memories, which is why we have a sense of direction in time.

That’s why everybody in the movie constantly says “Don’t think about it too hard”.

It’s an more of an action movie, not some deep cerebral sci-fi. The way it works is an excuse to make some exquisite scenes and is totally worth it.

I mean yeah, that’s the one thing the Pope and Trump would agree on.

Because you’re a good person and prefer to fall on your face to accidentally kicking your cats. If you were to give them a kick each time they cut you off, they’d learn to keep their distance.

I’ve always been saying “Fuck Spez”, but… not like this!
