In scary movies, why does the predator always yell right before an attack?
It happens every time, but doesn't make sense at all. Why go through the trouble of tracking someone down in secret, only to yell at the top of your voice the second before you act?
Recently I've noticed a behavior I do not understand at all, which is when a person walks into a room talking, like starting a conversation as they walk in, instead of first seeing what's going on.
This happens much more often that it should, especially when you pay attention to it. Two or three people will be gathered together, chatting about something, and then a person walks in just blabbing away, changing the conversation, without knowing what was being said. Sometimes, this person will then get offended when they don't get a response.
Aren't we beyond war at this point?
It often causes many more problems than it starts. (This is not anti-soldier or naive. Obviously bad people have to go, and force is needed.) But to associate all people of a place with the bad leaders, and then drop bombs on the land and shoot the people is very primitive. It also sets up a narrative that goes against (what should be at least) the end goal of peace. Like: how can peace come through war?
I'm also anti class action lawsuits.
Last year I had to file a W2 for a company that I supposedly worked for, because their pension fund had to settle a class action lawsuit. Monetary reward to me: $6.22. Time spent entering all information, including the telephone call to find out if this was a joke: 42-minutes. Not worth it.
Plus. We all know that when a company gets sued, they pass that expense to consumers. When you class action Verizon and give me .41-cents, but my phone bill goes up 5.00 p/month, did I really get anything?
College Basketball should really hire refs. When you watch an NBA game, it is almost always officiated fairly. The calls are consistent on both ends of the floor, and it's a rare occasion that they get something too wrong. In college, they're terrible. Things are called one way on one side, another way on another. It changes the flow of the game.
Like in the NCAA Men's Championship game this year, there were 21 fouls called in the first 9:30 of the second half. Do the best two teams really foul that much? And, why do they only call fouls on big men? If the rules are set up so the bigger you are, the more you foul, then you have bad rules.
