Just imagine how many people could eat or receive critical life saving medical care with all that money. But billionaire wants to go to space.

I just watched it and enjoyed it. It got enough laughs, even with my passing knowledge of US history. There are definitely quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. I agree that it is good, but not great.

Rise! RIIIIIIISE! Muhahahaha!

Detect Evil is NOT a lie detector. It only tells you if the creature is evil, not if it plans to betray you.

Surely this would be considered a disruption of the sacred timeline? There are variants of TSR popping up every week now.

That incapsulates this saga quite nicely: a crazy ride where the wheels come off the cart and the cart comes off the rails.

I want to see Black Widow at the theater, but I haven't had my 2nd covid shot yet, and I would much rather not die.

Now that the Netherlands has lifted the mask requirements, instantly I am the only person at my local supermarket wearing one. It seems most people in general only wear a mask because they have to, and not because it will protect themselves or others. When this whole thing began, long before...

Folding space, like Dune's Guild Highliner and the Event Horizon, means making a hole in the fabric of space so that no distance needs to be traveled, and start and destination exist in the same location. But doesn't that basically equate to teleportation, thus disqualifying both? Likewise...

I try to be, but my players are just too dang good at staying alive. :D

We're all waiting for our 2nd shot, and until we all have it, we play online via Roll20. But on the up side, I'll soon be playing in a full 5e campaign for the first time. Lets see what this 3.5 player has been missing out on.

Usually a few slices of bread with toppings (chocolate sprinkles or cheese or scrambled eggs or peanut butter), and of course a cup of tea; red bush, earl grey, honey or breakfast tea.

Sometimes wrongfully, when the circumstantial evidence is weak... which it is for the lab hypothesis.

I have dismissed it until there is actual evidence supporting it. Until that time, there is no reason to give it any thought. Do you have actual evidence?

No, I quoted you. You said, do you have any other explanation? That's the Sherlock Holmes fallacy. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." A famous quote, and also a famous error in thinking. The idea that 'it must be this...

That is literally the Sherlock Holmes fallacy.

They don't to me either. And I think a strong argument can be made that the entire war on Klendathu is a false flag operation, where the humans are the invaders. Considering the entire movie is presented as a piece of propaganda, the meteor landing on Buenos Aires halfway through the movie, may...

It is. Verhoeven draws a direct comparison between the US military industrial complex, patriotism, and how it has inherent fascist undertones. But despite how unsubtle it is in its satire, it was still too subtle for a lot of people; the essence of satire in my opinion: to mock a thing so...

In my current campaign, I have a religious order dedicated to a good goddess (or at least commonly regarded as good). But the order itself and its methods are corrupt. They are trying to do what they believe is the right thing, and their religious leader believes he is entirely in the right. But...

But that is not enough. You actually need to show evidence that the virus-from-a-lab hypothesis is true. That which is proposed without evidence, can be disregarded without evidence. Just because you've shown other roots of the virus to be unlikely, does not mean that you've provided evidence...
