Lost_My_Mind

According to the description, its actually a "remastered" version. I don't expect much, but it should be noted it's not a straight rom dump.

So, in general, I never dream. So maybe this isn't that weird of a dream to people who are used to having weird dreams. But for me, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this information. So I'm posting it here, so we can all laugh at how insane this dream is.

So I'm back at my childhood house that I grew up in. At the end of the driveway is a 2 car garage. That's real in real life. In real life, if you walk behind the garage, there's nothing there. It's just spiderwebs, a lot of unraked leafs, and a chain link fence that separates the properties. In the dream however, there was a doorway back into the garage. That doesn't exist in real life. So this is where things get weird.

I'm 5 years old again for some reason. I see this door behind the garage, and I go through the door. Except I don't go into the garage. Instead, I see a stairway that goes into a basement. So I start walking down the stairs, which then turns into an MC Etcher painting, and now I'm no longer going DOWN the stairs, I'm coming UP the stairs into an upside down universe.

I'm coming up to the top of the stairs, and I'm inside a house. A fairly large house. It had a kitchen, 3 different living rooms. A second floor that had about 5 bedrooms, and an attic that I never went in.

As I'm walking around this house, there are women everywhere. With babies. I'm white, but these women were ethnic of some kind. It was never explained if they were latino, or arabic. I'm really bad at knowing what ethnicity someone is, so my brain probably mashed together features of both.

These women were all living in the same house. Probably about 9 women. Most of them had babies in their arms. There were also small children running around and playing. Clearly their children. I am white and clearly not one of their children.

As I walk around I get this split sense of people living two different lives. The kids running around were playing, and any time their own kids were in the room, they'd smile, and everything was happy. Whenever I'd walk into a room with just the women, and me clearly not their child, the mood changed drastically. These women were scared, tired, and struggling. It was never explained what was happening, but they were clearly putting on a front to let their children experience happyness while they were miserable. They looked like they had all recently been in some sort of domestic abuse situation.

And as I walked around, everyone knew that I owned the house. The kids happily greeted me, and wanted to play. But I was looking for something. I was doing something important. I had no time to play. When I'd be in rooms without the kids, the women all looked at me as I had a right to be there, but also my presence made them nervous. One women had scarves wrapped around her arm, that had a spot in the middle which held back blood. I asked who did this? She didn't answer. No adult would answer me.

I wandered the house, looking for answers, but the kids would only engage me as a kid to play with, and the adult women wouldn't interact with me at all. They saw me as both a threat, and a child that needed to be protected. So they said nothing, but offered no help.

I explored the upstairs where I found a woman sitting in a chair. Not crying now, but it was clear she had recently been crying. She ignored my presence as I continued to look for whatever it was I was looking for. Scanning room by room, I never found it. So I came back downstairs.

When I walked out of the front door, I was in an entirely different neighborhood. I looked around, at streets I'd never seen before. Houses lined like a normal American street, except there was not a single car. No people. The houses windows all had full curtains blocking every window.

As I'm taking in this sight, and wondering where I even was, or how I got here, one of the kids pushed me away from the door, while another slammed the door shut. He said "We can't go out there. We can't open our door or they'll find us....."

I asked "Who?"

And that's when the dream ended.

What the hell was that all about??? On the rare occasion I do have a dream, it's either a recurring dream that I've had for 30 years, and every time I KNOW it's a dream, because I've been through this shit before, so I have fun in the dream. I'll do things I'd never do in real life, like be mean to people for no reason. Or jump off a building knowing it doesn't matter. OR I'll have a funny dream, where everything exists to entertain me.

This dream......I don't know what it was. I don't think I could classify it as a nightmare, but it just had this erie awful feeling. Like I was living in the first half of a suspense film, that I walked into 15 minutes too late. So I missed the plot explaining what was going on, and now I was just there.

I know in the end, the answer is "It was just a dream, it means nothing.", but right now, after having just woke up, my brain cannot shut up yelling "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED???"

The irony being, my brain is the one that created ALL of that, and now it wants answers. I still want to know what the threat was. Who did all this to them. They were living in there, like multiple families. As I write this, I realize a good analogy must have been Anne Frank's family. Except they weren't Arabic, but the tone kind of fits. Imagine if them hiding in that attic, and suddenly the shop keep's son comes upstairs. They'd all be freaking out, except the kids. I don't consider Anne Frank a kid. She was 13. She knew enough of the world to know she was living in a fucked up situation. But the little kids in the attic may have had that information shielded from them. So it was kind of like that......except it was all in a house that I somehow owned despite just discovering it. And it existed in some kind of parallel universe that you access by going behind the garage of my childhood home, and going down/up a twisting set of stairs.

Guys. I think my own brain trolled me last night....I'm now sitting here, feeling terrible for what these women must have gone through. Then I have to remind myself I don't know what these women went through. It was never exactly explained....oh and also THESE WOMEN NEVER EXISTED!!!

So now I'm unclear how I should start my Saturday.

I'm hungry though.

I'm thinking a community driven open source project. Maybe it could connect to PiHole somehow? Basically if anything is AI in any way, it blocks you from accessing it.

So, lets say you click a youtube video. The blocker would quick scan the URL, compare it against it's database, and as long as the profile for that URL doesn't come back with any flags, it lets you through. If it lets you through and it's still AI, YOU can report it back to the database with a click of a button, and now anyone else who ever visits that URL for that youtube video, with the blocker installed ,will instead get a screen that says "The page you are attempting to access has been reported as AI." Then you could scroll the list of reports, and choose to load the page anyways, or go back.

If you choose to load the site anyways after being warned, you can still give a report. Maybe this URL doesn't have many reports, and maybe some are lacking or outdated. You could add your report. Then when you submit it, it would be more helpful to future visitors. Maybe the okl site had some issue and they got a report. And then 10 years later, the report has the innitial report from 10 years ago, which was true at the time. The site has since relaunched or redesigned. And whatever AI was there has been removed. Or changed. You could include that the AI reports are no longer valid. This triggers a vote the next 10 people vote on whether to remove the flags from this profile. It would require 10 community members to all vote remove. If it's a mixed result, the flag stays. If all 10 vote remove, the flag is deleted and no longer considered to be made with AI.

And you as the user can choose which level of AI you're willing to tolerate. Me personally, no AI please. None at all. No images made with AI. No Youtube scripts written by AI even if they're performed and edited by real people. If even the script is AI written, no. Maybe you're ok with a human performed AI written script. That's how you'd set your settings, and you wouldn't get the flag screen. I don't want to see that video, so I'd set my settings my way, and I'd see the flag screen.

And there would be dates, but not usernames. The program knows who said what, but that information isn't publically shown, and no account is needed to write a flag report. So you could see context of how long it's been for things, but you can't become famous just because you set a bunch of false flags.

Oh, I guess we should think about how to cat and mouse the bad actors.

Ok, what if instead of flagged URLs aren't immediately flagged. They're reviewed similarly to removing a a flag. 100 users will have to vote. 80% yes needed to create a flag. My logic is, that way you can't have a bunch of trolls flagging every website they see. More users vote to diminish each voting power. 80% requirement instead of 100% to cancel out the votes of trolls.

I figure trolls are going to want to flag everything, but probably won't want to de-flag anything. So there's more leniency there, to bother less users.

Now the only question is.......is this even feasible???

So, about a year ago I tried reading spiderman comics. I watched the 1994 Spiderman cartoon as a kid. I watched the movies. Technically I'm in Spiderman 3. I played the video games. Always been a spiderman fan, and then realized that for some reason I just never read the comics.

So I came here and tried to get myself straightened out. Because since issue #1 back in the 40s or whatever, he was in Action Comics, and then he got his own series. When he got his own series, all the way through today, it's supposed to be one continuous story. Stuff that was written in 1955 is still part of the continuous story today. The problem with that is, I'm not going to just read issue 1, and then catch up on a literal 80+ year old backlog of monthly issues. Nobody has time for that. But even if it's the same story, doesn't mean you're not in a new chapter.

So they started adding smaller numbers on the pages to correspond with whatever the current story is. If you understand whats going on, it makes sense. But for someone who's never picked up a comic before, that makes no sense. "Oh, this is issue 900, but it's also issue 1." WHAT????

Instead, here's what I suggest they do once they finish up their current run. Next time they shake things up, let's make a fake name. Let's say they build up to some big fight between whomever in the current run. When they have their big payoff, and everything ends, have Spiderman sitting on a grass hill. Suit tattered. Cuts. Bruises. Exhausted. He looks up, and sees Mary Jane Watson at the top of the hill above him. Closeup of Mary Jane, as she says "Hey Peter...can we talk?"

The inner back cover just shows a preview of the next months comic cover. It's simplistic. It's just a shot of spiderman against solid color background.

The Amazing Spiderman #4000 or whatever(Big font)

A new beginning: Chapter 1 (really small font. Almost like fineprint, but slightly bigger)

And from then on, the Logo/font does not change at all until we get to a new story. So lets say "A new beginning" runs for 48 issues. On issue 48, again you'd get that inner back cover showing a preview of next months issue.

The Amazing Spiderman #4049

Aunt Mae's shameful secrer: Chapter 1

Same font sizes as before, but, they'll look visually different. And each new story may or may not have a new writing or art teams. Each new story is considered like a soft reboot of the series. By that I mean it's all one continuous story, but with each new story they will take things in a different direction. But that doesn't mean it retcons anything. Nothing is hard rebooted. Uncle Ben is still dead. So they CAN still reuse characters, and have their past affect their version of the story. But the story is segmented, but continuous.

We may just not see certain characters for 10 years at a time. Do we really need Electro to constantly be around? I'm thinking each of these stories will last 2-3 years. So while they do the story about Scorpion, you may not see Venom, or Carnage, or Doctor Octopus. Or Sandman. Because they're not the story being told right now. But maybe on issue 4049 the preview cover for Chapter 1 of Aunt Mae's shameful secret, you just see Scorpion on the street level, with Aunt Mae wrapped up in his tail, as Spiderman is swinging to her rescue. So just from that preview picture alone you know that Scorpion is about to have his story told, and it involves some secret from Aunt Mae's past. Bad enough to get Scorpion to come after her.

And just from that one back cover alone, you now know that the direction is about to change, we're changing stories, we're changing characters, and based on the art style, you may see a totally different visual art style. And you should know from that back cover preview exactly what to expect for the next 2-3 years until this story is told.

And then? Another soft reboot. Another story. We do it all again.

This makes it clear which story each comic belongs to, just by the cover. Even to non-readers, it would be instantly apperent that this was issue 7 of A new Begining. It's issue 4007 of the main series. From there, you know to google A new beginning to see what that it is, and just like that, you have a new reader who knows exactly where to jump in.

Now for the best part. The fact that each soft reboot issue 1 is basically a preview of the next 2-3 years means that if you're ever looking for the Doctor Octopus story, but don't remember which one that is? All you gotta do is check wikipedia for the name of all the stories. And each wikipedia article should naturally always have the cover of issue 1.

Now you just gotta look for the cover with Doctor Octopus. Might not see him again for years, but you know exactly which arc he's in.

HOPEFULLY this will put an end to some of the stupid stuff I've heard happens in the comics. Why is there a second Doctor Octopus? Why are there Peter Parker clones? I'm not asking why in the stories. I'm asking why a writer thought that was a good idea. Doctor Octopus exists. You don't need two.

Peter Parker clones just dilute what makes Venom special. I'm all for introducing new characters. In fact, if a character doesn't work out, you don't need to kill them off. They just fade into the background noise and never get referenced again. Their story still happened, but nobody ever thinks about it.

But when you come up with new characters, the first thing that should be asked is "What is special about this character, and why will it be a challenge for spiderman to defeat them? Do not get me started with the fact that I just learned there's like a BILLION symbiots. Seriously???

Venom is special because Eddie Brock is an asshole, but he's not a villain. The Symbiot is a villain, but it needs Eddy. So it's kind of this inbetween of Spiderman's greatest enemy, but also, competitor. Because Venom is a hero too. He just hates Spiderman.

And then with Carnage, he's special because Cassidy is already a serial killer. Even without the symbiot he's ALREADY a villain that you should fear. Then make him basically into an overpowered spiderman clone. And since Carnage isn't having it's host resist the chaos, he makes the symbiot into giant axe blades, or claws. It's basically freddie kruger in a symbiot suit.

So what makes them special if theres thousands more just like them? They were yin and yang. While venom and spiderman were also yin and yang. but Carnage and Spiderman are so far separated that they are NOT anything alike. But now you got all these other symbiots so it's just diluting what makes those characters great.

Yeah, if I were the one soft rebooting this shit, all the other symbiots would be put on a rocket, sent off to space, and never mentioned again. Carnage and Venom somehow stay. So, it's kinda like retconning, without retconning. The storys still happened, but they mean nothing now, don't worry about it, moving forward.

Ok, so imagine in the spiderman universe, if some character like Dr Strange, started casting spells on people. Except NOT Dr Strange, because he wouldn't do this. But find a character who's able to cast spells and is a villain.

So this spell is just cast on a single random ordinary guy. He had no powers before the spell, but now after the spell he brings disease everywhere he goes. 50 mile radius around this guy. Everybody gets sick. While he himself never gets this illness. He's immune to it.

So whichever villain cast this on him did so and then framed the guy for some terrorist attack. So now this carrier of disease is sent to some max security prison. The idea being that the original villain is using this guy as a trojan horse to kill Kingpin, who's also locked up. Only problem is, due to some mix-up, the guy gets taken to a regular jail instead. All the inmates, and all the guards are dead within a month.

The other part of the spell is that if this guy is killed, the entire universe explodes. So you can't just kill him. But now NYC has this massive prison complex with thousands of cells, and only 1 prisoner. And they can't put any staff or inmates in there, or they'll die. They've been feeding him via remote control drone delivery. But that's a band-aid solution. So instead they build an artificial island off the coast. with a 75 mile restricted water access. On this artificial island they create ways he can grow his own food, and be self reliant.

Problem averted, right? Because now NYC can use it's already existing jail again. But now that the character is established, you can actually develop the character.

So remember, this guy was NOT a criminal. He did NOT have powers. He's just as much a victim in this, as anyone else. But the government treats him as a terrorist because of what happened at the jail. People see him as the cause of death, because nobody is quite sure whats going on. So they just blame him, and that's it.

After so many years on the island in isolation, he finds a way back to the mainland. And why? Because HE doesn't understand how it works either. He just wants to live a normal life, and doesn't understand why everyone around him keeps dying. So he comes to the city, in search of his family.

Then yada yada spiderman somehow finds out that if he reaches the shore, thousands will die. If he gets close to the guy, he'll die. And with that, we have spiderman using help from Tony Stark to use autonomous Ironman suits to essentially swoop him up, bring him back to the island, and then talk to him via video conference. And this is where we find out that he's not a bad guy. He's just frustrated, scared, and alone. Spiderman empathizes with that, and starts being this guys friend with daily chats.

And now, you have set up for the future, a new character that can be used as a weapon against their will to kill an entire city if taken hostage somehow. He's powerful, because you can't get near him to fight him. But also, he's just a guy with the spell swirling AROUND him. All of his thoughts and motivations are NOT death. But death does follow this guy everywhere he goes.

I think it would be best if this guy when we first meet him is timid and weak, and apologetic for everything in life, whether it's his fault or not. And by the end, he can become completely deranged as a result of isolation, but still not a bad person. A tragic story of a life. And then you can use him against his will in the future.

Maybe Green Goblin's glider can go fly to him, and kidnap him. Then he's essentially used as a bomb. God dammit. I want his Super Villain name to be "Bomberman", but that's already a video game. That would get confusing.

You know how comic books are. Eventually he'll be full on evil. Or maybe mind controlled by someone else. Or maybe he has mental health issues. I hate to say it that way, but that's how comic book villains are written. Evil super villain, and then his motivations behind being evil is because he has mental health issues.

Now I wish this were a thing.

I don't get to watch movies very often. Surprisingly I have one kickass movie setup though. It's a 1080p video projector that also does 3D.

So I just watched Spiderman:Homecoming. Yes, I know, I'm SUPER late to see it. Sue me.

But you know that feeling where you just want to talk about the movie you just watched? Well, I have that, except nobody else BUT me just saw this movie for the first time. So nobody else is dying to talk about it but me.

Ok, so, first off......what was the pacing of that movie??? The first third of the movie it felt like it couldn't find it's footing. Like it was almost a parody of a spiderman movie.

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE CASTING FOR A MINUTE??? I'm DYING to talk about the casting!!! This is my first time seeing Tom Holland as Spiderman, and the voice clicked almost instantly, but I wasn't quite sold on the full performance until about halfway through the movie. There was some a scene on the rooftops where it really clicked. This was a teenager with super powers....but still very much a teenager. Once that clicked into place, I began to enjoy Tom Holland as Spiderman a LOT more.

And Micheal Keaton as Vulture??? Oh my god! Chefs kiss. If you look back to the original trilogy, when they had the green goblin and his hoverboard, functionally it's pretty much the same character. Green guy flies around with mechanical flying thing, and fights Spiderman. Yes, I'm oversimplifying things, but you can see the comparison.

Except, I actually LIKE the Vulture in this film. The Green Goblin just looked like a stuntman in a motorcycle helmet. I never felt that Green Goblin was ever actually a psychopath, or a killer, or hardly even a threat. It just came off as "Now's the time for the big supervillain battle" and then Green Goblin would fly in.

With Vulture, there's a clear and distinct reason he has these things. Micheal Keaton plays the roll so well that you almost overlook the massive plot hole. They have alien technology, they've used it to perform robberies for over 8 years, and at no point did the police, or the government, or the Avengers ever thing to look into that? Weird.

OH!!! And as good of casting as I think Tom Holland and Micheal Keaton are, there's some real BAD casting too. Why is Aunt Mae a hottie? She looks like she's any age between 30 and 60. It's like every single scene she looks a slightly different age. There's no consistency. Aunt Mae is an 85 year old woman. This Aunt Mae doesn't look anywhere near 85.

I don't know what's coming in the next few movies. I'm watching them all this week. I've never seen them. I don't know why. I saw "The Amazing Spiderman" back in 2012 I think, and I just did not enjoy that movie.

When I was 10 years old, I saw the Super Mario Bros movie in theaters. The one with Bob Hoskins, and John Liguizamo. I remember in the theater thinking for the longest time "Why aren't they in their suits???".

I understood the plotline reason why Tony Stark took away Peter's high tech spidersuit. I also understand why Peter had to wear a makeshift costume. What I don't get, is why Peter didn't sew his own traditional looking spiderman costume, without any of the tech. He spent like a third of the movie without his spiderman costume.

The movie also scrapped some of the bigger characters entirely. There is no mention ANYWHERE of Mary Jane. The closest thing is "Michelle" says she goes by "MJ" in a blink and you'll miss it moment.

There's also no J Jonah Jameson. I don't even see the Daily Bugle anywhere.

I felt like while he was in high school they could have had a professor without an arm, and he's just Dr Conners. I thought that was a missed opportunity. Also a missed opportunity to not have the high schoolers we know about. Like Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, Harry Osborne. Though they did have Flash Thompson. For some reason instead of a preppy white rich jock, they made him a short (arabic?) toothpick size twerp that you just want to slap in the back of the head. When I think of Flash Thompson, I'm thinking of a tall built football player type body. I'm pretty sure even without super powers Peter could have easily knocked Flash out.

The whole movie feels like a prequel. The characters are written well. I can very much believe these are high schoolers going through their own high school years. While Peter is going through.....a lot.

What I don't get is Tony Stark. He shows up, gives a 15 year old a biological weapon with a built-in "kill mode" which really wants to turn itself on. Then blows him off as if he's being annoying. Then leaves him alone in a suit which is somehow both extreme high tech, but also whose security is broken with a pair of tweezers and a usb drive. Then he takes the suit away from Peter because he fought Vulture which was immature and wreckless. Then at the end of the movie he attempts to give spider an even CRAZIER suit because he fought Vulture which was mature, and the brave thing to do.

Honestly, I feel like Tony Stark should have had waaaaaaay less screen time. MAYBE a cameo. He should not have been important to the plot. In fact, I'd prefer there were no high tech suit. It was just Spiderman trying to impress Tony Stark, who maybe gives him a phone call or a zoom meeting. Outside of that, he should be like "Peter, I'm busy. Just handle it, ok?" At least then maybe we wouldn't have to deal with half the movie in a make-shift costume.

Speaking of the costume, I hate it.

I hate it because as little as the original trilogy contributed to the Spiderman movies, they did have one cool thing. That suit is THE definitive Spiderman suit. This suit, the high tech one, was just flat. It looked like CGI the entire time. It looked like when you're watching Space Jam, and there's cartoons on screen while real humans are ALSO on screen. The cartoon on screen doesn't look natural, and it breaks the immersion. That's what this suit did at all times. At no poZendayaint did it even look like Spiderman was filmed wearing the greenman costume, and then CGI it on in post. I felt that the whole movie.

On a personal level, I feel cheated. I asked what movies I should prepare me for the new spiderman movie, and I was told to watch

Spiderman Homecoming

Spiderman Far From Home

Spiderman No Way Home

In that order. Well, I feel like there was a MASSIVE story just before this movie started. I mean, they're talking about alien technology that blew up in NYC, and now this guy is cleaning up the mess. That's how he becomes Vulture.

But hold on.....what alien mess??? What happened??? I feel like we're picking up at the end of the story rather than the beginning.

Now AFTERWARDS I find out I'm supposed to watch Winter Soldier first. Which C'mon.......how many movies are all connected??? I'll have watched 4 spiderman movies this week by the time I leave the theater having watched the new one.

But even that's not the full story. Because I could watch Winter Soldier. And I'm sure there's like 5 movies before Winter Soldier, since that movie is a sequel in itself.

So I would have to go back to at least 2008 to watch the full story. Or maybe it goes all the way back to the first IronMan movie. I think that came out in 2004? That's too many movies to watch. These movies need clear chapter ends. So people can jump off, and new people can jump on.

And what is this Ned character supposed to be??? I don't remember him from any previous Spiderman media. Why are they painstakingly trying to make him be Barbra Gordon post accident??? It works for her, because she USED TO BE Batgirl.

Ned is just.......Ned.

And what kind of name is "Happy"???

AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE BOAT ALL ABOUT??? It gets split down the middle, and then IronMan is like "Well, if I push the sides back together then the ship will be water buoyant again. That's how water works.....

Ok, I think that's enough for now.

Guys, go watch that movie for the first time if you haven't already. And if you have, go do the whole Men in Black eye flashy memory wipe thing. THEN go watch the movie for the first time....again.

And then share your thoughts. Just don't spoil anything with the next few movies.

Also.....is it supposed to be implied that Liz is Toones step-daughter? Or am I reading too much into that? I know he keeps saying "his daughter", but I don't know any step-dads that think of their "kids" as "step-kids". It's just "this is my kid". Because they cast the mom to at least look like she could be Liz's mom. But Liz doesn't look mixed at all. So, I'm not sure he's the dad.

It's been about 30 minutes since the movie ended. The more it sits with me, the more I'm thinking Tom Holland might have a chance to be the defining Spiderman. I'll see how the other movies go.

And I just love Micheal Keaton as Vulture. I kinda wish they'd have put him in make-up a bit, to make him look older, but outside of that, perfect casting.

Not that there was much competition, but Keaton is now THE actor I think of when I think who's the best Vulture. Best Batman. Best Vulture.

Yeah! I said it! Who's a better Batman? George Clooney? Pssshhh!!! Please! George Clooney is a smug bastard, but he's not a great Batman.

So I had an idea for a new method of security. A bulletproof alien costume pajama set. Here's how it works. You put on this full body pajama that's also bulletproof, and also made to look like an alien costume. And it pairs with an alien sleeping mask.

So now, when someone breaks into your house, the lights come on, they see this alien looking thing. It confuses them. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???"

Either they run in fear, or the confusion gives you the advantage for a second or too. Enough time to fire a gun, or swing a bat. The point is, he'll be confused as hell for a second or two, while you won't be. You'll just be starting your attack from the getgo.

And in the event that he reaches for a gun, the alien suit is bulletproof. Just don't get shot in the head. I can't picture a bulletproof sleeping mask.

Ok, so it's 1993, and Dennis Nedry has been living/working on this island full of dinosaurs for the last 5 years. He's been frustrated with his pay rate for doing IT work debugging 2 million lines of code.

He's at a point where asking for a raise is look upon with deaf ears from his millionaire (which today would be billionaire) boss.

So he starts talking to a rival company. He accepts a job to steal all these vials of dino dna, to hand over to this other company which wants to build their own Jurassic Park. They have none of the research done, and this one move catches them up on 15 years worth of research.

So he writes a code, which disables security, on an island where the only think seperating you from beast is electricity. He shuts that off.

Now he's taken the vials, the dinosaurs are running wild, he's driving in the rain, and despite living here for the past 5 years, is uncertain where the docks are. He takes a turn too fast, crashes his car into the directions sign, and now he has no clue which direction to go. Worse still his jeep is now stuck in the mud.

And this is where it gets really stupid. Instead of trying to pull his jeep OUT of the ditch, he climbs DOWN a hill over a waterfall. This is not a dinosaur paddock, because there are no fences, but it is an artificial jungle area with plenty of trees.

He connects the rip cord from his jeep to a tree at the bottom of a waterfall, and the bottom of a hill.

Now lets pause for a minute. Let's say this island had no dinosaurs. He's just on an island, in a storm, stuck in mud. Lets say nothing stops him from using the rip cord.

His jeep would then pull itself towards a waterfall, and then roll down a hill. Best case scenario, it somehow ends up upright, and not on it's side.

It would still be stuck in the mud, but now it's also at the bottom of an unclimbable hill.

And remember, the boat is at the dock saying they leave in 15 minutes. All this time fussing with the rip cord, is all on the clock, which started back when he was in the control center BEFORE he turned off power, and stole the embrios.

Realistically, he's likely got 5 or so minutes to get to the dock in a storm where he doesn't even know which direction to go.

Dennis Nedry didn't fail because of a dilophosaurus. He failed because he was stressed, full of anxiety, had a half thought out plan, and no foresight to execute the plan.

Which is insane, when you consider he had no issue with the hard part. Writing the code to terminate security. Syncing up the code to your watch so you have an exact down to the second knowledge of when the camera turns off. And a way to slip out the building with a shaving can full of dinosaur dna vials. Once you get to the jeep, that SHOULD be the easy part!

Instead, he got lost on an small island with very few roads, that he should by this point know like the back of his hand.

Now for the kicker.

Not once in the movie did they ever say what his plan was to avoid legal actions.

Lets say he gets away with it. He can't do it again. It'll be obvious who did it by the next day. So what does he do? Would police not just arrest him, and extradite him to the united states to stand trial?

None of his plan ever had a chance of working.

So a few days ago, I posted a message asking if this was even possible. I got Minecraft up and running on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 without any microsoft account.

I only play single player, but maybe there is an unofficial server one of you host, that I could play on? I've never played Java edition before, so I never played online.

I'm also getting used to minor differences between Java and Bedrock. Like crafting items is so different. It's very akward with a controller. Took me a day or so to figure things out.

Also, are there SUPPOSED to be this many enemies when you first start? I was building my little survival dirt hut, and then when night time came, I counted 14 creepers. My hut kept getting blown up. I had no time to rebuild, because creepers survive the day, and for some reason were very glitchy at first. They were staying still until they saw me, then they'd fly at me like an enderman, only to instantly explode. No Hssss. Just instant bombing. 14 times in one day cycle.

I've got a bunch of torches around my house now. And I built a creeper disposal system. Shame they don't drop gun powder if they fall. Oddly enough, zombies still drop rotten flesh if they fall.

Still waiting on skelitons to fall into my trap.

Now I just gotta figure out an enderman disposal system, and a spider disposal system.

Also, the game says I've been here for 25 game days. I've yet to see a single animal besides octopuss. Is that normal?

In the 1980 election, Reagan won 44 states. Only 6 voted for Carter. In the 1984 election he won 49 states.

That's the kind of landslide tRump has wet dreams about.

But it also reminds me of other countries like Russia, when they have an "Election", and then the standing dictator wins 95% of the vote. It's then an open secret that the vote was tampered with, but who's going to stop it?

The 1980 and 1984 elections have that same vibe to them.

And the policies he enacted are the reason the usa are a shithole now. Reagan is like the original OG corrupt profits over people president.

Are we SUUUUURE those elections were legit?
