Which fictional character's death affected you most?
  • The gut punch was Gina Torres, and Zoe not being allowed to grieve and be with Wash.

    I watched Serenity again a couple years ago, and it was just as harsh and abrupt as I remember it. It's a hard emotional jab at anyone who has ever loved a partner that's a part of their everyday life.

  • What's your favourite chocolate?
  • Depends on the origin, but a freshly fermented and dried whole bean from the farm is like light drugs. Your heart skips a beat, you inhale, you smile, and life gets noticeably better.

  • A Cybertruck ‘blew up’ outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas
  • Thinking this through, they probably filled the car with gas until they couldn't breathe and then hit the firework mortar to set it all off. Also gives them a higher chance of ending it all then, as opposed to the "oops, all fire!" version, which would have been a lingering way to go.

  • TIL that there is no strict definition of a continent
  • We separate Europe, Asia, and Africa because the Ancient Greeks invented the boundaries and terms, and the Romans kept them up.

    They lived in the area, so for them, these boundaries were just names given to land on either side of major bodies of water: the Nile, the Black Sea and Rioni river, and the Mediterranean.

    They considered Egypt part of Asia for a while, and anything south of the Med as the landmass "Libya." The Romans kept up the same definitions as maps expanded, and just extrapolated from there.

  • What percentage of Reddit users are bots or foreign bad actors?
  • There's a few other categories to consider.

    Of small niche subs I've moderated, there's maybe a 10 to 1 or higher ratio of non-active users to active. Look at the highest voted posts of all time or the last year in a sub. If the sub as 10K subscribers, the highest number of votes on any post might be 1K or so. Maybe far less.

    I saw on a couple of the sub's metrics that we would consistently gain 10-20 users a day, and maybe lose 1-3 subscribers daily. But with very little increased engagement. But so we would gain sometimes 500 or even 1000 users in a month, and nothing changes. Why? Always drove me crazy.

    A lot of real people start up accounts and quickly abandon them. A lot of bots sub every subreddit and do stupid things like comment when you're comment is a haiku. Every script kiddie that ever coded a broken bot that never worked right might still have 4 or 5 axcounts out there as a dead subscribers.

    And let's not forget the massive amount of people with multiple accounts (hi!) and the ones with sometimes severe mental health problems, wannabe trolls, and straight up Aholes trying to evade bans. There's likely more of these out there than actual malicious and active bots.

    As for actual malicious bots posting, it's likely very few, and limited to engagement on larger subs to drop parts of a larger group of talking points. But the places that normally go for that kind of thing also don't mind hiring a bunch of Nigerian 419 scammers to be real humans posting from the bot accounts sometimes.

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?
  • Friend of mine said this when JP 2 came out. Ruined the whole series for me after that.

    The first one had some of the plot from the book. Everything after has about as much plot as a porno where instead of butts or dicks or boobs, it's screams.
