Wait, maybe the point is that it is super slow, so it keeps you from snacking too quickly??

It's not that one but I've seen a similar one made with 3d printing to prove that you can in fact 3d print a working walnut cracker.

3d printing poo poo nobody ever wanted or asked for is the meme in this post.

Who has the smelliest fans? I've heard horror stories from them all, but there must be some uber-goon who has collected all four and can do a comparison.

I ran Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, and Smash tournaments professionally in high school, and each of them have their characteristic scent problems. Adult Yu-Gi-Oh fans seemed to be the most universally smelly, but Magic tournaments often had a smell that could not be traced back to an individual player. Smash had the worst examples by far, but most Smash fans were indistinguishable from normal people. Their exceptions were simply exceptional.

I stopped running those tournaments literally the moment I stepped foot into University life. The pay was great, but the people were absolutely never worth it.

Those are literally faces drawn by white supremacists for white supremacist memes, and they look like what white supremacists wish they looked like. that is 100% verifiable fact. (also they look nothing like that)

Which is why, as has been stated, we need to use it outside of those spaces to introduce static to their signal and devalue the meme for white supremacists. This is just an acceleration of the normal meme lifecycle, where the more a meme spreads the further it gets from the original intent and by the time it hits the population at large it's meaningless to the group who made and identified with it.

Or, you know, forfeit more content to the Nazi-Exclusive column, I'm sure that'll make it less appealing somehow to the teenage boys who they indoctrinate into their secret club with cool memes.

It really depends what you're watching. Modern television tends strongly toward the sitcom model, where nothing really changes between episodes, which was specifically designed to make it easier to skip episodes but still feel like you understand what's going on.

Older TV and some newer TV (Game of Thrones and Mandalorian spring to mind) are more content-dense, like movies, and I find them similarly difficult to commit to watching. Looking at your phone for even a couple minutes can leave you completely lost, so you really have to engage with the content if you're going to understand or care about it at all.

Slugthrowers were surprisingly useful against lightsabers, as when a slug made contact with a blade, it would simply melt instead of being deflected like a typical blaster bolt. These molten fragments would then continue their trajectory toward the face or hands of the lightsaber user, and cause serious harm if they were not careful.[6]

Notably missing from both this and the show: hey maybe grading "sins" and "good deeds" on a linear scale like a person's life is simply the sum of their atomised actions is the real problem and we should question that

The show only meaningfully addressed the concerns of a handful of philosophers. Asking it to question and then compose a thesis of "what does it mean to live a good life?" is asking to expand the scope of the show a hundredfold, and even then, it more directly invites the question of "what is good?" which even grazing against would expand the scope a hundredfold again. I think that's why they repeatedly emphasized that the system is based on infallable accounting of the effects of earth and the life on it, because if you start to question the accounting (and you absolutely should) or the basis of said accounting (maximizing quality of life on earth, which again, you absolutely should) you immediately expand well beyond the attention span of a sitcom viewer, at which point the show loses the audience and stops being produced.

What we got moved the ball a lot and started a lot of important conversations. I'd love to see the show you want, but I don't think enough people would watch it for it to get even four seasons, and even if they did, what conclusions can you draw? "Man, morality is complex" is not a satisfying conclusion, but it's basically the best one we have as a species so far for either of those questions.

With any luck this will pave the way for more media that directly interfaces with and explores philosophy, which would be really cool. I read Sophie's World as a teenager and really, really loved it, but the teacher that assigned it as reading admitted that most people bounced off it hard, even in her classes. This is just a much more marketable approach to that content.

Except they did introduce us to the divine accounting department, which was staffed by bored immortal morons, who assigned values arbitrarily whenever humanity did a "new thing," and then they were like "yup and that's how it works, the math checks out, we just know the relative values of supporting the Cubs versus whatever the pony jar dude did, moving on."

You are right that the show did a lot to introduce people to the fact that there are frameworks outside of the rules utilitarianism that people inherit from modern education systems but fuckin' hell they got so close to actually bringing up the fact that there are deeper questions in that one episode and they just... didn't. I feel like the show should just not have told us where the numbers come from, and that could have fixed a bunch of problems.

They did tell you where the numbers came from. The Accountants looked at every effect of the action on every living thing on Earth and the relative moral values of those outcomes and get their numbers that way. They undermined it with throwaway jokes about certain actions being remarkably bad even though they'd have seemingly no effect on anyone (like hollowing out an eggplant and filling it with hot sauce and nickels, -9,900 points) but that's the system and the nature of a sitcom, respectively.

Again, if you question the accounting you explode the show. You'd need something ten times longer than Seinfeld to meaningfully explore all the moral philosophers up to 100 years ago, and ten times more to cover the following 50 years, and ten times more still to get up to the time the show was written, and an unknowable number of additional seasons to cover the timeline from then to a thousand years from now when they'd be done with all that. And then what? No conclusion they draw will be satisfying to basically anyone, there is no answer to that question, that's why it's still being worked in real life. So you get a 2000 season show that ends with a prolonged wet fart that becomes apparent around the 3rd or 4th season and takes well into the thousands to peter out. And you'd still have people outraged that their favorite pocket philosopher wasn't addressed or addressed correctly or thoroughly enough. That's Philosophy!

Also, I'd like to point out that Chidi repeatedly debases the system, pointing out by comparison that the system, while it is objectively The System, is completely arbitrary. His inability to make a decision is clearly a metaphor for the field of philosophy's non-convergent nature, where further study raises questions far, far faster than it produces answers, if it produces any answers at all.

The conclusions that show reached were unsatisfying, but that was always inevitable because they were conclusions to philosphical questions. I'd argue that they did a good job bringing the conversation to some audiences who'd never consider it otherwise and the longer the show went and the more it covered, the fewer viewers would ultimately be satisfied by it and the less satisfied they'd be, but if you want to do that, let's go make a Good Place thread in TVIV rather than derailing a perfectly good Mmrnmhrm thread.

Also if something a certain weight, it's probably too big too. Unless your carrying bowling balls made of tungsten, a carry on bag over 50 pounds is probably too big.

Dominaria is a Plane, one of many but generally the largest and most important. Back when expansions were in 3-set blocks, each block for the most part was a different plane, but they kept going back to Dominaria. It's where Urza and the Weatherlight happened, it's the plane the Phyrexians invaded (they were from, get this, Phyrexia, another Plane) and eventually where the Phyrexians invaded again (this time from New Phyrexia, formerly Mirrodin, which is again another Plane).
