Where I’m at it’s more like “fore-uh-nurrr”
Also a defining trait of conservativism: turning basically every word into a slur if they try hard enough. “Foreigner.” i can hear the intonation from here

It definitely gives a lot of work to the viewer, especially the last 15 minutes or so. I find most people who are kind of getting it typically lose the thread during the Granger debacle, sometimes during the party scene.
LandedGentry@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?English792·2 days agoI thought it was pretty obvious to everyone that it’s because it’s easier to get out that way. You don’t have any blind spots. Easier for you to back into the spot than to back out of it (angles permitting).
Yes but this movie hinges on being technical and appearing specific. It’s kind of an interesting sleight of hand. They keep saying what the rules are but they don’t actually know the rules. There’s nothing to contradict. Literally the end of the movie is “how did this dude find out and travel back?” They have no clue what happened, they don’t know the rules, the possibilities are endless.
They assume getting back in the box takes care of doubles. They are bleeding from their ears and losing fine motor skills. They are just guessing all the time, which means the rules aren’t defined and can’t really be contradicted.
All we see are end results from the perspective of two guys too clever and reckless and unethical for their own good. We know almost nothing for sure.
The point though is they partially avoid contradictions by baking into the story that we and they don’t know anything.
Primer is very smart about explanations in that it never fully explains anything. You’re only seeing their understanding of what they’ve stumbled across, which we can reasonably assume they barely understand themselves. After all, they accidentally invented time travel trying to create a device that reduces the mass of objects lmao they have no fucking clue what’s happening. The scene where they are debating what happens since he accidentally brought his cell phone back highlights how out of their depth they are. I don’t remember the exact lines, but Aaron says how cell phones work by pinging different towers until they find your phone. Then when Abe asks him “are you sure?” He says “no.”
They always kind of understand what’s happening but are ultimately making educated guesses.
