I can't wait to see Tech Noir!

I can't wait to see Tech Noir!

He's just sublime. The sculpt and outfit aren't accurate but you'll probably forgive them due to the expression and overall presence of the figure. The T1000 also has the same look, to my surprise. Too bad that menacing look was completely gone in the MMS238 figure.

As long as the overall presence of the figure is impressive I can let the small things slide.

The presence is ferocious. I still think it's the best Arnie.

That's awesome. After getting the 1:1 endoskeleton I kept telling myself I didn't need anymore Terminator stuff, but I'm not holding to that very well.

Riiight. You totally don't want that beautiful T1000. (Wink wink).

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I know I'll end up getting it. I have zero willpower.

Why was it so awful?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Because the majority of children are spoiled monsters.

The modern world seems to be set up to sabotage all efforts a parent could make to try and ensure their offspring aren't ADHD-riddled little monsters, sadly.

Agreed. There's way too much dependence on stimuli. Kids don't even day dream when they all got smart phones.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Families walking spread across the aisle because single file is a foreign concept to them. Strollers--holy **** the ****ing strollers--were all over the place. Families stopping in the aisles for no ****ing reason. Families in front of booths taking up the entire thing so I couldn't see what the **** was on the tables. I'm telling you, there are too many people on this ****ing planet and there's no end to the birth factories ******** out a thousand kids each.

There's studies on this, most kids nowadays can't enter states of deep, focused concentration because they've been exposed to information technology straight out of the womb and are used to selecting only a handful of relevant words from any given written passage. Their brains are literally wired differently to older folks like us who grew up reading books, we absorb whole sentences and paragraphs, they skim only words and phrases they deem relevant.

It's terrifying. If I ever have children, I'm putting a moratorium on smartphones, tablets, games consoles, etc until they hit their teens. Also at this point I'm not sure I'd want to raise children in a city.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

The amount of people with their heads down looking at their phones was irritating too. They weren't watching where the **** they were going and also walking slow to text or whatever the **** they're doing. It was ridiculous.

I don't know why people take kids either, though I'm sure the free admission for those under 12 is a big factor.

Oh I have no doubts about that. Kids have way too much power in their hands. High speed internet. Access to every conceivable bit of information and ****.

While my generation just got by waiting for the next episode of Dragon Ball Z

Now I'm saying this loosely since there is exceptions, but I think those that grew up in the 90s might be the last generation that had any type of normalcy.

As for having children, me and my wife have decided when it happens it happens. I've got a plan laid out that they will have no unsupervised use of the internet and it's only for school work. Television and Netflix is enough until they're into their teens. Same deal with phones.

The amount of people with their heads down looking at their phones was irritating too. They weren't watching where the **** they were going and also walking slow to text or whatever the **** they're doing. It was ridiculous.

The only upside is it enforces natural selection and a good number of people walk into oncoming traffic like that. I cannot stand people constantly doing that ****.
