That bullshit trope always bothers me. The one pushing back only has to direct the knife to one side or the other not push straight back. The worst case I've seen of this is in season 2 of The Punisher. The girl fight in the therapist's apartment has one of them up against the wall with a knife being pushed at her face as she gets cut below her eye. It was especially bad because not only could she have directed the knife to the side, but she could have also just bent her neck to move her head out of the way.

    I used to work at a golf course and waking up hearing thunder most likely meant I had the day off. It was so relaxing to just fall back asleep to the sound of rain and thunder.

    Now I work at a wireless internet company and the sound of thunder makes me anxious that one of our cell towers will get hit by lightning and I'll have to go climb it.

    I miss liking storms....

    Someone should break out all the numbers.. I don't know what it would look like, but I have a feeling that by the numbers, all these ice agents are proving more dangerous than the undocumented immigrants they claim to be protecting us from..

    We've all been sold on what life is "supposed" to look like. Go to school, get married, start a career, have kids... not enough people question if that's really what they want. Life can be whatever you want it to be. Those things aren't required, and if that's not the life you actually want, then all those things will do is tie you down.

    Didn't tump say that he was referring to the early 1900s when asked what he was referring to? Ya know the time period known as the gilded age that was rife with robber barons and no labor laws. The period which took wealth inequality to the max resulting in the great depression..

    Maga has no clue what actually made America great..

    This was suppose to be the one thing he didn't fail at. His real-estate business is the one that he didn't bankrupt. I would say now, it is definitive that its only still going because of fraud. He can't even maintain a pool...

    What a completely worthless human....

    I'll never understand how these people got popular.. from what I can tell they just sit in front of a camera and scroll some feed and talk about random stuff without any actual expertise or credible information. How is that entertaining? Why would people choose to watch that over shows that have interviews with actual experts and are much more informative.

    Being the youngest in a big family, this happened to me constantly. I have now become a recluse and feel bad about myself when I have almost any social interaction where I get excited about something.

    I haven't watched much animation since I was a kid outside of occasionally South Park, Family Guy, or the Simpsons, but I haven't really watched even those in the last few years. Then a year or two ago I watched ATLA and LoK after. I just finished a re-watch and am now on a bit of an animation kick. After those I tried Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane, and both where great. Now I'm watching Legend of Vox Machina and Mighty Nein. So far so good. Oh and of course I've been keeping up with Invincible. I guess im looking for more suggestions similar to those, but I can be a bit picky. I thought AoT was good during the first several seasons, but I got lost with the plot and haven't watched the last few.

    Recommendations? (lemmy.world)
     

    I've somewhat recently become addicted to audiobooks. Every time I'm in my car or doing something mindless I put on an audiobook. I had a good stretch of one book I liked after another but now am looking to dig a little deeper. The books I've listened to so far were all books that I kept seeing being recommended over and over again.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl Expeditionary Force Bobiverse Project Hail Mary The Martian The Expanse The Children of Time The Silo series Murderbot

    Am I missing anything that gets consistently recommended?

    What would you recommend that would fit with that list?

    Other books I've tried but didn't love

    Three body problem The Witcher books Wheel of Time

     

    We know pretty well what matter is and how it interacts with the others.

    Dark matter interacts through gravity but not light. Beyond that I haven't heard much else.

    And lastly anti-matter has an opposite charge and interacts with matter through annihilation. I think I remember hearing that it would react with dark matter the same way.

    So my question is, does anti-dark matter exist, and what are it's properties?
