I feel like it might've been a translation issue. Had the level actually made it into the game, someone probably would've realized that the name was a bit much for a video game about a blue hedgehog taking on an egg themed villain.
Public transit is a thing you know...
Also who gives a shit about what some bearded weirdo that died over a century ago thinks about problems involving things that didn't exist in his lifetime? Marxism is like a weird cult now, an opiate that's an obstacle for any positive change.
You feel like Fahrenheit is good enough because it's what your used to. Just say that and it's all good.
I use Celsius for weather because a) I'm used to it and b) where I live, knowing the temperature relevant to the freezing point of water is extremely relevant when considering the weather. You use Fahrenheit for the weather only because you're used to it. There's no benefit other than that.
I do use Fahrenheit for cooking, but not because it's better in any way, but simply because I'm used to it. I know the effect setting the oven to 400, 350, 300, etc, will have. It's not a better unit of measure, I'm just used to it, and in the context of using my oven, it's not worthwhile to me to learn the equivalents in Celsius.
It's ok to say you prefer something simply because that's what you're used to using. But Celsius is a better unit of measure, just you're not used to it. You know what 70F, 80F, 90F, 100F feels like from experience, ie. you're used to using that scale. It's fine... just weird to say something is better simply because it's what you're accustomed to.
Agree 100% on Robocop.
With Starship Troopers, it all hinges on what you feel when Dizzy dies. Personally, I was legit angry at the bugs when that happened, and then had the realization of "oh... so that's how fascist propaganda works." I think it had to be on the nose a bit for the message to come across.
The movie ends with a guy in an SS uniform saying they've made the enemy afraid and everyone cheers, and still a lot of people didn't get it. So it may not have been dumbed down enough for a lot of people to get the message.
Outside of Original Trilogy, the best Star Wars movies movies were the ones that JJ Abrams made.
One time I was waiting at the crosswalk and the light was red and also the crosswalk light was showing I shouldn't cross. There was a guy stopped at the light and my spidey-senses told me this was an idiot. Sure enough the light turned green and the signal indicated I could cross. So the idiot guns it and makes the right turn right in front of me. There was no traffic, the guy could've turned on the red at any time. But instead he waited for the green so he could cut in front of a pedestrian (which is illegal) and put someone's life at risk. If I hadn't sensed he was an idiot and just stepped out onto the crosswalk when the signal indicated, he would've slammed into me.
So yeah, making it illegal to turn on a red puts lives at risk. Being able to turn on red makes drivers pay attention to the traffic and pedestrians a bit more while at the red light (because they're looking for an opportunity to make the turn) instead of mindlessly waiting for the light to change without paying any attention to whether there's pedestrians crossing.
Still not as bad as some of the zones that got cut from the game.
Chronicles of Riddick (all of them) was shot in Canada.
Pitch Black was shot in Australia... I was at a bar in Coober Pedy (the only bar in town, I think) stepped out for a smoke and there's the spaceship from Pitch Black just sitting in the parking lot LOL.
American beer is like sex in a canoe. They're both fucking close to water.
The way this works is they make you feel so afraid of criminals that you want someone cruel in power to protect you from them.
Problem is they need to keep you afraid and keep on being cruel to maintain power. So they will constantly be adding groups of people to the list. The eventual outcome is you may be added to the list and sent to a gulag. But maybe if you're lucky you won't and you merely live in fear that your government will execute it's cruelty on you if you ever speak out.
Living in a system dominated by fear and cruelty isn't how I want to live. Why do you want to live that way?
It's a deprecated unit of measure. In a lot of forums like this one, there's a lot of people that work in the technology field and we're always annoyed by people that insist on sticking with something that's deprecated because people invent rationalizations for why the thing they're used to is better. I use Fahrenheit for cooking but I'm not telling people I do that because it's better in some why, I know I'm using a deprecated unit of measure solely because I'm used to it.
