[QUOTE=gk99;52551713]Where you live can certainly affect how the rain affects you. Where I live, it generally means cooler temperatures, a nice early morning nature smell, and if it's a thunderstorm, nice background ambience. I also love overcast cloudy skies, which is closely associated with rain, and I have a lemon tree sapling planted that I don't need to water on wet days.[/QUOTE]
Where I live it means warmer temperatures along with higher humidity, more water for mosquitos to breed in, and making it harder to get shit done outside because of said higher temperatures and humidity. Living here for almost all my life made me absolutely despise rain.
Possibly unpopular opinion: I don't mind selling my info to companies if they make my living easier. Targeted ads are better than random ones, and any sort of bonuses I might get will be very welcome. Big companies won't care for who I am as a person, and nobody in the company will decide to be all "let's see what pages Bordellimies person visited yesterday..." so it doesn't matter if they know that I prefer certain movies over others or similar things.
Targeted ads really aren't that much better. Explicit advertising in general seems to be a failing model with native advertising replacing it, which isn't something that really benefits much from having people's personal information.
And privacy is like most freedoms and protections, it often doesn't come in handy for most individuals, but it's important as not having it opens things society up to a lot of dangerous abuse.
I'm not even saying giving information is bad anyways. As long as it's done in a transparent, consentual, and open way, I've got no problems with it.
I would not mind leaving ads unblocked on websites if ads weren't intrusive, obnoxious and malicious as they were.
San Junipero from Black Mirror has to be the most overrated episode of television in the past couple years

also, so far, Twin Peaks: The Return is better than the original show
Games with large competitive scenes are turnoffs to me because there's such a mechanical skillgap in most of them between the new player gameplay and what pros do that it's like there's two different games, and I feel no drive to get better when I know for a guaranteed fact I'll never be a fraction as good as those people. I usually can understand strategy and thought process quickly, but I see no reason to invest hours of my time into learning mainly mechanical skills that other people are also investing hours into and have been doing for literal years.
Because the game is still fun regardless.
If you're working to get better at a game you're doing it wrong.
You "invest time" into a game because you're playing and having fun, getting better at it is incidental.
Westworld over Game of Thrones. 1 good season vs 7 of waiting for sadists to die.

westworld proposes a lot of interesting philosophical points
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;52555685]Westworld is really good but it's full of completely pointless nudity, even more so than GoT. Half the time there is no reason for it from a storytelling standpoint.[/QUOTE]

I have no idea what Westworld is but assuming you're talking about humanoid ones I certainly would personally.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;52556318]More like why would you undress them? [sp]They are clothed when in the park but naked when in questioning. So basically, whenever something goes wrong and a host is called in for questioning, they are undressed for no reason, only to be dressed again so that they can be put back into the park.
I can sort of understand the decommissioned hosts being naked, since they don't need clothes in storage. (and they can be reused for other characters) But the interrogation scenes? Pure fan service.[/sp][/QUOTE]
Guess so
At least they don't throw it in your face, there's more elegance to it than "here's a close up of boobies"

It's certainly nowhere near the worst. And I'm not talking about F.3.A.R. either, I'm talking about F.E.A.R. Online.
I hate craft beer
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52561044]I think the biggest issue with discussion serious social topics is there's always people who believe that "if I say I'm against bigotry and that I am not a bigot, I cannot be bigoted." The the latter defeats any use of the former because that circular logic is a defense mechanism against the risk of ever realizing that a belief is wrong and or unintentionally bigoted.[/QUOTE]
"I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic but..." is a completely unsolvable problem and it's infuriating.

Speaking of obnoxious fanbases, Fire Emblem might be the first fandom that I actively don't want to get involved in because of how insanely toxic it gets whenever the topic of the 3DS games comes up.
On the topic of The Tick, i can't help but think that Patrick Warburton would make a good [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/91/d6/bc/91d6bc4af1d1b1f694fc049dae35eaf4--arthur--comic-book-covers.jpg]Barry Hubris[/url]
