You're welcome.

Sad: I couldn't understand Primer on the first viewing. I'm almost too afraid to watch it again.

Watch it again, it'll make more sense

It's been a while, but I believe in the late 2000's the company hired one person to prep the station, and they cloned him, and sent the original back to his normal life. The clones start falling apart every three years, so they set up a three year plan and use the original's memories to make it seem like they would get to leave after the term is up. They never know they are clones, or the process is happening over and over again. Once Clone #2 in the movie finds it out, he fakes being the dead Clone #1 and gets out on an emergency shuttle.

That's "Moon", thank you very much.
"Primer" is about two engineers inventing time travel. It treats the viewer as an intelligent individual, which threw me completely off guard.

Oh bite me, we watched them very close to each other.

Yeah Primer is a confusing one. They try to make a stable time loop, and inevitably decide to scrap the whole idea. Character one makes an emergency time machine, but also secretly makes a second back-up in case his partner tries to reverse his reversal, if I remember correct.

It would seem he freaked out after Aqizzar told him to not go on a rant about how he manipulates his friends like Vriska manipulates her "friends" in Homestuck, and therefore she isn't evil. So, he deleted his avatar and sig, leaving forever.  I am not joking.

Bahaha that's hilarious.

Ugh, I think almost every calcium bond in my muscular system is snapped. I can barely move...

I must say, if you can barely move, there's still some bonds to break.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I think you would be long dead if every calcium bond in your body was broken. Your lungs don't just move on their own.

[Leafsnail]

And I'm still not over being told I dress like a 5-year-old.

To be fair, comments like that are some of the most annoying you can receive.

[Heron TSG]

Try dancing with weights all over you. That'll stop those bonds from forming any more of them durn Unions.

[Aqizzar]

As long as this thread was temporarily turned to talking about September 11th related stuffs, I just realized - the 1976 version of King Kong (where he climbs the a World Trade Center tower), and The Two Towers are on the movie channels today.  That's such poor taste, it's hilarious.

According to his profile, he logged on a couple hours ago.  (For the record, I was looking up his lasts posts, to see what the Hell I wrote.)

[smigenboger]

Yep, and earlier I realized I took my Homeland Security assessment test today. I could've thought that through better.

Yeah, I did it, and those socialist bonds are well suppressed under cellular capitalisim! All hail the Confederate Cell-_{oh god there goes the spinal chord} *CRASH*

[Heron TSG]

I think they're commenting on how the towers were evil and full of orcs, anyway.*

That's why I said "almost". Of course, the more likely situation is that I came near such an event and my low-level motor core software is severely limiting my exertion potential to prevent such damage from occurring, or at least prevent what damage did occur (I'm pretty sure you break a few bonds every time you use more than 50% of your potential) from becoming more extensive. I'm just subconsciously predisposed to being overly dramatic.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Uh, yeah, muscular damage counteracted by the tissues growing back stronger is pretty much the basis of why you get stronger if you exercise.

Exactly. I'm just annoyed that I've been rendered incapable of sitting up straight. And my arm hurts like a sunavabitch. Stupid organic arm.

Also, I accidentally looked at the television for a second. There was a wrestling program on. I could feel the Int drain.
