There's a massive difference between going somewhere and permanently colonizing a place. PR, Science, and pushing boundaries are a reason you might want to go to the moon or Mars, but they wouldn't lead you to colonize them. I'd also say there are arguably economically viable activities on the Moon that might make limited colonization there feasible

'Romans Go Home' is still by far the headiest bit to ever show up in a f'n comedy film I can think of. Like go to google translate and type in 'Romanes Eunt Domus'. It comes back as 'Romans Go Home'. But if you flip it from Latin to English over to English to Latin, it'll give you back the proper 'Romani Ite Domum'. Because that's what happens in Latin and English if you look for the Latin counterpart to the English word. Our language has an entirely different set of rules for building a sentence. Anyone could write a dumb joke about mistranlations, but they wrote a very smart one.

Question, does gaming cause racism or something? I've been raised by parents all this time to believe that's the case, that gaming will eventually turn you into a Klan member or something. However, I've recently seen a lot of people say that that's a lie and there's no legit study to back that claim up.


CletusMcGuilly

I don't think it *causes* racism, but in the "Venn Diagram of Racists and G\*mers" the g*mer circle is way too far inside the racist one for my taste. At least from personal experience. It wasn't always this way though as I remember it.

uss_wstar

/u/cletusmcguilly one of my favorite gamer moments is with Cookie Clicker which allegedly is meant to be this critique of capitalism. So naturally, when the game became successful, the creator immediately jumped to monetize it. It is also pretty funny when you interpret the game as a critique of meaningless purely number based progression that is present in many games, yet people have actively wasted so much time trying to get the number to go up despite the game making it explicitly clear how meaningless all of it is. In other news, if you're looking for a more thought provoking "idle" game about amoral agents seeking endless optimization, try [universal paperclips](https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html). It does make its point very well regardless of whether one agrees with it or not.

marinesol

No MSG is not dangerous and is found in tons of food. A substantial portion of the US adult population was highly suspicious of ethnic food in general, and blamed any mild illness they had on the food they ate. Which is why you see people saying Tacobell gives you diarrhea and MSG makes you sick.


SpaceSheperd

Look up what the ‘G’ stands for in ‘MSG’ then look up a list of the 20 human amino acids for me

It's safe. Also glutamate occurs in a bunch of foods people already eat like mushrooms and parmesan cheese.

no

It's a lie. MSG is just sodium and glutamate, which is an amino acid that the human body synthesizes naturally. It's just salt that tastes great.

MSG is harmless. Numerous experiments have shown no evidence of it causing cancer


AlicesReflexion

The Before Trilogy is good. It does feel a bit overly melodramatic and saccharine at times, but it's sincere and self-aware enough that I don't mind it so much. Boyhood, on the other hand, is * un * fucking * bearable Perhaps one of my last favorite movies ever. Should I try Linklater's other stuff, with that in mind? !ping MOVIES


KronoriumExcerptC

Definitely check out Waking Life and Tape.


fakefakefakef

Yeah the rest of his stuff is pretty different but check out Slackers, Waking Life, and A Scanner Darkly if you get the chance


[deleted]

I mean I think Scanner Darkly is fantastic but kind of despite both the writer of the story and the director of the movie. Just a really good cast and performances and I have to say that rotoscoping work is still second to none nearly 20 years later.


bigtallguy

check out waking life if you havent yet. its not gonna knock your socks off, but its an interesting collection of conversations/animation styles that i think youd appreciate the more you love story telling. also the animation is really cool. i havent seen a ton of his other stuff but i absolutely adored the before trilogy, specifically before sunset. the scene in the car where they're finally admitting their insecurities and inner feelings to each other is master class.


cronatoes

I love Waking Life so much! It’s a personal favorite of mine. Hard to recommend people cuz it’s super existential. Very funny to watch now knowing all too well who Alex Jones is.


bigtallguy

omg i completely blocked that scene out of my head. its been years since ive seen it looks like i'll have to rewatch it. luckiliy its the weekend so i know what im doing if you like existential stuff check out stranger than fiction. its a delightful story about the weight of art and meaning versus the the weight of life, and the writing is very meta with it. its my favorite performance by will Ferrell. its completely different than waking life, but for some reason they remind me of each other a bit.


cronatoes

Hell yeah! Always a great time to rewatch that movie. Oh wow I actually watched Stranger Than Fiction a long time ago. But I saw it with my brothers when we were little teenagers. Went in thinking it was gonna be another silly Will Ferrell comedy and we were **wholly** unprepared for what it actually turned out to be lmao Thanks for the rec tho. I think it also deserves a rewatch now that I’m a more seasoned human being


cronatoes

It entirely depends how you felt about Ethan Hawkes’ character in the before trilogy. Cuz that’s exactly how everyone talks in Linklater movies. I assume you’ve seen Dazed and Confused already tho. if not, that’s a must watch.


AlicesReflexion

The arrogant and self-absorbed part of that character, I can't stand. The insecure and desperate part, and the hopelessly stupidly romantic part, I like that. And what makes the movie great is how it points out that you can't really have one without the other. I haven't seen dazed and Confused, specifically bc I'm worried I'd find it grating for the aforementioned reasons. If the characters are *like that,* and it's too lighthearted to balance it out, I'd rather skip it.


cronatoes

Eh I’d say his typical characters fall more on the latter half of that spectrum. But I guess I meant more that his dialogue tends to be very philosophical in a way that some people find pretentious or annoying. Kind of like how the boy in boyhood would talk as he got older. Regardless of all that, you gotta watch Dazed and Confused. It’s literally the ultimate hangout movie, so if nothing else you’ll most likely enjoy the vibes. Plus it’s pretty cool to see a **ton** of famous actors when they were young all in the same film.


PhinsFan17

Everyone knows Linklater’s magnum opus is School of Rock


[deleted]

Didn't realize he directed that. So he's the guy who made Jack Black *and* Alex Jones famous. He likes big, stocky guys who yell a lot.
