- Comment on a 320 year old elf marries an 80 year old human: Is the elf robbing the cradle, or the grave? 5 months ago:
There's no way an 80 year old woman has the life experience to compare to a 300-1,000 year old elf. There's an inherent power discrepancy.

I have a shitty Target duffel bag that's been with me on so many adventures. It's falling apart, but I refuse to let it go, precisely because it's been with me on so many adventures. That also explains the several pairs of shoes with holes in them I can't bring myself to throw out.

- Comment on Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed this 6 months ago:
Further consider than the movie itself is literally pulpy and fictional and the genius of Tarantino becomes apparent. It IS Pulp Fiction, just like it says there on the screen!

- Comment on Discovering what this man has done has ruined my day 6 months ago:
Several of the greatest movies ever made 100% wouldn't exist without his work. Schindler's List, The Pianist, Saving Private Ryan, and The Thin Red Line are just a few of the films he made possible. Say what you will about his various indiscretions, but the man loved the arts.
- Comment on Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion 6 months ago:
Nice explanation. I could still get behind that. I know there are woo-ey versions of it, but I find the fundamental idea of "visualization" to be pretty solid, regardless of whether the mechanism is internal or external.
- Comment on Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion 6 months ago:
I think there's a semi-reasonable way to engage with the idea. If you have some specific goal and you continually think about it/focus on it, of COURSE that will make it more likely/make you better at it. At that level, it's sort of just tricking yourself into actually getting shit done. Like faking it until you make it--act confident and soon you're actually confident, etc.
But I understand that most people take it further than that. I just think it's harmless at its most basic, even as I also think it's Oprahesque bullshit.

- Comment on The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands. 6 months ago:
This is a/the part of the Bible (Genesis 2) people reference to support that belief:
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel*: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 6 months ago:
Honestly, it's even solid without the Real Debrid addition (though I use Real-Debrid and think it's great). Just add the Torrentio add-on and you'll have tons of streams for just about everything.
