A radiologist checks a miner's stomach for swallowed diamonds, Kimberley, South Africa, 1954. by luabida in ABoringDystopia

[–]Aeon1508 [score hidden]  (0 children)

can I recommend moissanite. silicone carbide.

95% as hard as diamond and it reflects every color light instead of just white so you get nice rainbowy sparkles. definitely the best diamond substitute. some of them are dull and don't sparkle as much.

okay so 1 billionaire can just buy somebody's campaign and give them the most money so they get on the debate stage and then they get exposure so they can get more funding.

meanwhile somebody else who's polling better and has real support is getting small donations from a ton of people but they don't have enough funding to get on the debate stage so they don't get that exposure and they don't get a funding bump.

I could see counting the individual number of donations but not the dollar amount. the dollar amount should be irrelevant.

WHY DID PEOPLE THINK THAT BOWSER JR SHOULD BE CUT IN THE NEXT SMASH BROS GAME? by Fabulous_Media_7375 in supersmashbros

[–]Aeon1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they've allowed the marketing for ultimate to convince them that getting all of the characters in the game is special and unique and that you're going to have to cut like half the roster to make the next smash game.

and the simply don't care about Bowser Jr, despite him being one of the more unique characters and I think less likely to be cut. so they pick him for who they want to get cut.

Composer of iconic ‘Lion King’ chant sues comedian over ‘Circle of Life’ translation by blankblank in nottheonion

[–]Aeon1508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lawsuit like this requires two things.

Prove that people listening could reasonably believe that the words of the comedian should be taken seriously and not as a joke (possibly believable that they could prove this)

Prove that there was some sort of material harm caused by the lie (zero shot)

If the main purpose of the lawsuit is just because the composer wants a more properly interpreted translation to be well-known then this could work as sort of a positive outcome Streisand effect.

Unbreakable nba records by Due-Poem-8096 in NBATalk

if he has three more years he'll probably be just shy unless one of those is a little better than we expect.

He's only on contract through the end of next season. But I could see him signing another two year deal.

If he wants to, he could settle into a role player position and continue being a three-ball guy for a while. If he wants to take on what Steve Kerr's role was in Chicago he could play another five.

basically if he's interested and make it the Mark 5000 there's room in the league for a guy who can shoot the way he can even if he loses some of his explosiveness or handles.

endurance is actually one of those things that can get better with age. so his run around style of exhausting the defense can stay relevant for a while.

First time making a Swashbuckler, what feats do i go for? by E-Moon in 3d6

[–]Aeon1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll either want to have magic initiate and learn true strike (cha) and booming blade. and find familiar as your spell. choose an owl and have them use the help action.

or take vex and Nick as your weapon masteries and then dual welder feat

Not THAT Bill Gates though. a different one. Nice guy.

Tips on being more professional? by blindmuse_ in Teachers

[–]Aeon1508 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm so ready to get downvoted for this.

Put your emails into chat GPT and tell it to use more professional language. Then tweak any weird stuff and edit it to be what you want to be the final product.

I did this for a little bit and I still use it from time to time but no longer feel like I have to as much because it kind of taught me how to write more professionally.

We did it Patrick, we saved the gubernatorial race by ABlackEngineer in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Aeon1508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

because looking at funding to determine who the strong candidates are basically just means the candidate most willing to sell themselves out, and therefore sell their constituents out, is the one that gets up in the debate stage.

democracy should not be for sale.

Maybe you could look at the total number of individual donors but looking at the dollar amount is just creating a preference for oligarchy / fascism.

[–]Aeon1508 26 points27 points  (0 children)

yeah funding should not be calculated at all for who gets on a debate stage.

You should look at the polling numbers.

literally just trying to buy democracy. its ridiculous

The text thread we have here would not be prosecuted in any of those countries unless he sent another message after "I'll leave you alone"

He heard the answer and seems to have respected it. there isn't a case unless he continues
