  • Have you ever met a truly evil person? What happened?

    Jump

  • It took me WAY too long to realize how bad the most evil person I know is. To him, though, it’s not evil. As far as he’s concerned, everything he does is fair, reasonable, and justified.

  • Why do you need, want and/or have a gun/guns?

    Jump

  • Good for you. Laws are nice, but sometimes firepower is the best option for securing your rights - especially if you live in a country where DEI is sneered at.

  • If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?

    Jump

  • I like this analogy

  • Who are some widely loved fictional characters that would be hated if they were real?

    Jump

  • lol now THAT’S a brainteaser

    Jump

  • Willy Wonka may not be hated, but he would definitely be vilified. There is no way a candy maker who refused to allow inspectors into his factory would be allowed to sell candy to the general public.

    Plus, under the current administration, ICE would break in and forcibly deport (kidnap) all the Ommpa Loompas.

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

    Jump

  • Totally understandable, even to someone who counts this film as a favorite. It is very slow moving.

  • She’s walking funny on purpose. Those are meant to be some kind of velcro or magnetic slippers she’s wearing. She’s walking carefully because she doesn’t want to go drifting around in microgravity while carrying a tray of food.

    That’s my interpretation, anyway.

    Jump

  • This film is my go-to whenever anyone mentions visual effects. If I were a director, this would be my gold standard for absolutely timeless effects.

  • If your lifes goal was to make life better for as many people as possible how would you go about achieving it, assuming you could get start-up capital for your project?

    Jump

  • I’d probably have to resort to fraud. I’d just say I needed seed money for some AI bullshit, and BAM, I’d be swimming in cash overnight.

  • Is there a right way to tell a woman she intimidates you sexually?

    Jump

  • Thank you for your valuable perspective. I was just thinking that I’d take it as a compliment, but then, I’m a guy.

  • What fictional character do you wish was real?

    Jump

  • Superman.

    Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.

    If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.

  • Never buying milk from Walmart again

    Jump

  • If a perishable product comes in an opaque plastic container, that’s a deliberate choice. Always be suspicious of it.

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. I bet your wife will like it too:

    “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • I'm definitely not pushing my wife in any direction, just listening and supporting.

    I hope your wife realizes how lucky she is

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • I’m glad you took a stand. Surgery is “bad”, but it’s a lot better than just pretending the problem doesn’t exist.

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • Thank you for the compliment. Your marriage is my primary concern. I hope things work out as well as possible!

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • This is by far the most reasonable compromise I’ve seen. OP, if the MIL absolutely must visit, this is a completely fair thing to demand in exchange. You are making a sacrifice for the sake of your wife. If you’re willing to be flexible, she should, too.

  • Then explain it.

    What do you think "olive branch” means in this situation?
