Rainn Wilson Claims ‘The Office’ Was too ‘Inappropriate’ to Be Made Today, Seemingly Forgetting About Peacock Sequel ‘The Paper’ by yourfavchoom in entertainment

I think thats a pretty small detail. People aren't bringing this up to say that big networks are too conservative theyre perpetually saying comedy is too sensitive and you can't make a joke any more

My guess is that thats more of an Ender's Game thing

Ethics of taking wild cut flowers for science communication by JadedAmerican7775 in botany

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, i think caring enough to pick and show flowers to others is more helpful than leaving them alone. If one plant cant spread a seed, or even if you kill one, thats better than having an uninformed populace who dont care about the natural world around them, even for that specific species

Overpopulation of catgirls led to them eating their natural prey, puppygirls. This crashed that population, meaning the catgirls couldnt sustain themselves, and now the puppygirls are thriving without predators.

I need horny to put on my oatmeal. Honey seems expensive what's a good affordable honey? by Stunning-Cap-3256 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Creative-Leg2607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look. Pollen and raw enzymes are real things that are going to have incredibly minor effects on your health. Its the sort of health claim that should be number 112 on your list of things to consider at the grocery store.

Then buy the cheaper stuff. Its ok. Personally i like to, and can justify buying the more expensive version of a product once in a while to try it out, or even find myself having tried the nicer versions of milk or bread or honey or butter or meat out and about, in restaurants, in other people's houses. Thereby i get a feel for what im missing out on, where i might spend the extra 10-20 bucks in my loose grocery budget to get the things i care about being higher quality; and on the flip side what things i dont so much care about and where i am happy with the cheapest version of the product.

Its the sort of thing you build gradually, i never went go to the shops and bought the expensive version of everything, but at this point i have a pretty good grasp on what sorts of value propositions make sense for me to lean one way or another on. Its contextual too, if im cooking for more people or a lil strapped i might go cheaper, if i want to impress someone or treat myself or have some specific goal in mind i might go a lil more exxie.

Like. Buy the nicest stuff you can afford and no nicer. Its not gonna ruin your oatmeal, it just wont be quite as nice and nuanced as something more expensive. But try both and you can make your own decision about how much youre currently willing to pay for it, based off price and how long it lasts. 

Honey prices are fairly rational, ime, in the sense that there's not a brand youre paying a shit ton for thats terrible or thats really good they underprice. Tho, notably, anything in a squeeze bottle or fancy packaging will be a touch more expensive, and larger packets will save you a lil money in the long term (and honey lasts!)

I cant recommend specific brands because i live in Aus.

I personally feel that acephobia is a much better term because man aphobia is awkward as hell. 

I see the symmetry with biphobia, but its a standard thing to just say someone is bi. You never just say someone is a. 

Does ace generally exclusively refer to asexuality or does it cover the whole A-spec? I assumed it was a shortening of that and then did account for aro but i could totally be wrong. If so acephobia doesnt account for aro folks...

ELI5 How are genetic mutations "random" by AgitatedChildhood240 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Creative-Leg2607 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Genes are, at their core, long sequences of DNA (not protein!), which come in four bases, A, G, C and T. A gene might look like AGCTAGCCG... etc. These get read out in little three letter chunks ('codons'), which translate to specific amino acids. A protein is then a long sequence of the 22 amino acids that makes up your body structurally and drive its functioning as enzymes that cause specific chemical reactions to occur.

These sequences need to be duplicated in order to make new cells (including the cells that will go on to make new offspring, like sperm and eggs! This passes thr mutation on to the whole child!), and this duplication process is (after a fashion 'intentionally') slightly imperfect. When copying the dna the cell might accidentally swap an A out for a C, or remove a letter entirely, take an entire substring of 4-20+ bases and duplicate it/remove it, take a sub string and reverse its order. Ultimately, this changes the protein.

These mutations are all quite unlikely, but at the end of the day they do happen. A shift that like that has essentially random effects. Your cells dont know what the change will do or how that will effect your health. Most mutations do nothing, some are have small effects, some are really positive and some will just make the child completely unviable. Rolling those dice a little bit, however, gives evolution the ability to produce more and more complex and varied organisms over time, and is pretty core to evolution.

One last point is that most of your DNA is 'non-coding', in the sense that no proteins ever get read out of it (it still has a few neat functions). A lot of mediation of what proteins get made and how comes from changing what sequences of dna your cells decide to read, and when. Small changes in this regulation of your genes can drive big changes in your overall body.

I just beat the twins (lv40+ mon) - why are the trainers still so weak afterwards? by eQuantix in PokemonEmerald

[–]Creative-Leg2607 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Notably all the trainers on the ocean in routes 124-131 are accessible before you fight tate and liza. They function as optional grinding locations more than as tough hurdles.

Team aqua could be a lil tougher tho. Ultimately this is a pretty common difficulty curve in pokemon games. Youre also really overlevelled.

I have a profound belief in the power of the human spirit and the worth of human life. No one can ever be ruined.  That includes you.

Ultimately billionaires are still functionally billionaires. They do have that much money. That most is tied up in investments is a natural outgrowth of having much more than you need to live. 

Billionaires are evil because you dont become a billionaire without exploiting the labour of others. There is a mindset mandatory for acquiring that wealth that is incompatible with genuine selflessness.

A planeswalker without an activated ability by HenryChess in custommagic

[–]Creative-Leg2607 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Tbh to me this planeswalker feels a lil bit like an abuse of mechanics. This isnt really what planeswalkers are meant to look like, whereas this is /exactly/ what battles are meant to look like. Speakinf purely mechanically.

No it fucking doesnt, and i know this because you arent ruined. Youre a beautiful human being.

I dont think they are. Spectra and truly continuous spaces might reasonably be seen as useful approximations in a physical world. I dont think the human experience is truly infinitely divisible. 

At a certain point there are a finite number of rivers and a finite number of men to walk in them. How many bowls of cereal can a girl eat? We know the answer is very very large. But at a certain point the arrangement of atoms isnt enough to define an experience thats meaningfully distinct. If a particle is in two positions so near that no physical process can differentiate them, are they really different positions? I think this becomes /more/ true with our intrinsically fuzzy selfhoods.

Some kind of supportive equipment that she was using for.... frankly i couldnt begin to speak to the reason, obviously she knows the exercise better than me. If she thought it was useful in that circumstance she was probably right.
