  • the high powered magnet is always on. it's never safe to put metal near and MRI.

  • not at all practical. a big ol buzzer would have prevented this maybe, but really it's the relaxed culture around the MRI that let it happen. people need to be told either you don't go past the big heavy door with the NO METALS sign, or you get all the metal off you now, or both.

  • You gotta make them work hard to kill you.

  • Well, man, that's because it is clearly presenting people with higher education and very white in appearance and culture as the people who should be breeding, and people with worse education and cultural identification and behavior that's more common with not so white people in the US as those that are doing too much breeding. In reality education level has more to do with your parents zipcode when you were born rather than your DNA, and cultural behavior isn't any part of human DNA or a thing you breed for. Sorry about all your feelings, you seem to have missed that I was defending the film for being a comedy and that these opening bits are jokes not a serious attempt at understanding or addressing problems.

  • The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world's or America's problems, but the emphasis on ''only stupid people are breeding'' in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it's part in the nazi movement. So it's a dangerous idea to promote, but that's not what the comedy is about. It's just a gag.

  • It's not being serious. I understand intelligence isn't a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn't going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that's really not what the film is about. It's not actually advocating for eugenics.

  • FAR better! Like, not even ironically better, all the way better.

  • We all got our limitations, man.

  • if your addicted to it, yeah, it really cuts down on the slump you get from nicotine cravings. (don't come after me tomaco bros, I was having nit fits when I was 7, I grew up around drug addicts that didn't see the point in not hotboxing the house with multiple 2nd hand effects on small children)

  • Man that one with Gladiator in it was so weird. The secret Magna Carta stuff really didn't work.

  • better be VERY coded language that a jury would agree is innocent in nature and intent.

  • Someone go resurrect Wilfurd Brimly! I don't have enough Worther's original candies to do the ritual!

  • We're unlearning a lot today.

  • It came from the Labratory of The Mind, yes, the work was entirely metaphysical, but here's the wierd part. They used that mental experimentation and applied it to real life action, and it worked. It's like imagining you have a magic carpet for years then you stand on one and it starts flying. It began as imagination of the world around us, then when checked against reality. It works. Someone figured out that if something was passing around a sun. A planet, that it would dim the light at regular intervals. They checked, it did, that's the only reason we know there's planets outside our solar system. Someone checked the lumens of stars and found the data matched the theory. We use the color variations of stars in a similar way to detect more data. It's quite remarkable. A recent discovery in gravity is that while gravity is a ''constant'', it actually fluctuates from place to place, I'm not sure if anyone figured out why yet, but if and when, how they find out, will be their imagining a reason, imagining how to check, checking in real life, and getting the data on if it's right or not.

  • The far end might sound smart to you if you've never taken physics classes, but...

  • "Your Name", anime film about a high school age boy and girl that swap bodies in their sleep, they don't know anything about eachother and have to figure out how to not ruin eachothers lives and relationships, it's very bueatiful, and you'll cry for sure.

  • OK, so, I live in farm country and there's some problems with what your saying. 1. It's actually good pay. In fact some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works. Farms are in the middle of nowhere. There's no city. MAYBE there's a post office and a store that sells exclusively Croation gass station fare. MAYBE. It's temporary work. You get a few months pay. So. Remote, physically demanding, and temporary. That's what makes it a ''no thanks'' job for every American. We live hand to mouth, we live in a stack of cards that requires constant payments. That's not a problem in Latin America for the most part, they live hand to mouth but they can save up money, they are maxed out on payments and debt, they just throw extra money in a jar and only live of what they really really need. So working a few months in the US, then Canada, then Mexico, it's OK. That's why they're called seasonal farm workers. When you close to boarders you trap them out of their job and create insane problems. I don't know why Americans can't figure out how the food gets to the Walmart, but they have been failing up grasp this for a long ass time.

  • Yes. Correct. But talk to a boy in Jr. High. They aren't as smart about this as you might hope.

  • I haven't heard men say shit this stupid my whole life. This isn't 'tradition' it's a growing hate movement.
