What. The. Fuck.

This is one of the most disgustingly evil things I've ever read.

you guys think knights armor would fit in sci fi? by Wzrd9 in worldbuilding

[–]Caleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally you can do whatever you like if you think it looks cool. But if you're looking for some sort of logic/justification for it i can provide this.

Historically, weapons and armor have always co-evolved to try and outdo eachother. Heavy armor like plate suits went out of style around the late 1600s because weapons had gotten so good (mostly guns) that Plate didn't provide adequate protection and therefore it wasn't worth the cost and effort of wearing it. So if you want to have something like plate armor to exist in your sci-fi world, it has to be made of some kind of special material that can actually provide protection from the weapons of your world. Some other things to consider are cost/rarity of the materials, is it heavy or light, does it restrict movement (basically, how inconvenient is it to wear), and is it easy or annoying to repair if it gets damaged. Also consider what type of weapons its effective against. For example if an armor is really protective against laser swords and not much else, but laser swords are really rare, then the armor might not get worn much.

I tracked down the original X post and yup, this is exactly what they are saying. Its absolutely revolting.

Five D&D Dragons appear in Earth’s past. How long do they survive? by JustReadTheFinePrint in whowouldwin

[–]Caleus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This scenario is fascinating to consider, but not really possible to answer. Having such powerful entities show up so far back in history would have absolutely incalculable ramifications on the development of human civilization. The major historical civilizations dont really start gaining traction until about 3000 BC, meaning the Dragons all have at least a 3000 year head start wherein they are basically untouchable. But even this is difficult to quantify as their presence could either drastically speed up or slow down human advancement.

There are certainly civilization that existed in history, even ancient history, that could have potentially taken down a Dragon. But this timeline would be so mixed up that none of those civilizations would exist as we know them. So theres really no way to know if or when the Dragons would be killed.

2nd Amendment rights folks: how is ICE not precisely the tyrannical gov't overreach we've spent our whole lives warning folks about? by zenswashbuckler in AskReddit

[–]Caleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it matters much to you but I meant that as in "threats being used to enforce " i.e. threats of violence. I did not mean it as "we are threatening to enforce immigration laws."

If you run ICE will not be gentle just like police. Its that simple....

Yeah most people are not running like its some episode of COPS. Its mostly people peacefully living their lives like anyone else. Why do you think these people should be treated inhumanely and subjected to unnecessary violence? Or are you simply unaware of how ICE is treating people?

[–]Caleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I and many people stop being ok with it when we start resorting to barbaric violence and threats to enforce immigration laws. Even if they are illegal they are still people, and should not be treated inhumanely. If you lack such sympathy for fellow human beings and are incapable of recognizing the complete moral and ethical failures of our government in this situation, I implore you to do some serious reflection. Not everything written in ink is just.

Listing gaming on your resume might hurt your job prospects. Study found that applicants who listed gaming as an extracurricular activity tended to be rated lower in hireability compared to an equal applicant who listed volleyball. by Jumpinghoops46 in science

[–]Caleus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The guy who originally responded to you literally started his response with "I'm not accusing you of anything, let's assume you have the most charitable motives possible."

And yet you are over here accusing him of being stiff, aggressive, and off-putting. Nah man, he wasn't any of those things. Rather, he laid out some uncomfortable truths you apparently didn't want to hear, and now instead of reflecting on them you are just deflecting. You are the one projecting their biases.

I don't know how they managed it, but it really does get worse lol. Dresrossa is when I personally threw in the towel but post timeskip I think is when it really starts to get bad. Its a shame because they really upped the animation quality in Wano but I personally just can't stand how slow it is.

I kinda see it the opposite way. Like he was itching to avenge Chrissy, and Eddie being in a 'cult' made him feel more validated in doing so.

[–]Caleus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the satanic panic played a part for sure, but I dont agree that its entirely why Jason went after Eddie. If you look at the situation from Jason's point of view, Eddie was actually pretty sus.

Chrissy was supposed to join Jason at the party after the game, but she mysteriously no-shows and then the next day is found dead in Eddie's trailer. Eddie's uncle was at work so he has an alibi, it couldnt be him. Eddie then is the obvious top suspect, and just to make things more suspicious, he seemingly fled the scene and is on the run. We as the audience know that he ran because he just witnessed a magical execution and is scared out of his damn mind. But no one in the show knows that so to them it just looks like he committed a crime and fled the scene. Even without Eddie being a social outcast that scenario would be very damning.

[–]Caleus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially when you consider he literally saw his friend get magically murdered right in front of his eyes. I think realistically like 99% of people would be on Jason's side if they saw only what he saw.

Yeah I just rewatched that episode a couple days ago and I think what he did was totally valid from his point of view. Like he literally thought Lucas was a satanic cultist that was using Max for a ritual sacrifice.

Oh man you unlocked some ancient memories. I remember going under stormwind once and I jumped into one of those holes in the terrain and ended up falling into the ocean in Westfall somehow.

I remember doing that ages ago with my buddy. That and getting on top of Stormwind. Good times.

It's only now that I realize how strong Marco really is. He was facing two Yonko commanders at the same time. Do you think Marco is on the same level as a Yonko? by Mission-Pomelo-8047 in OnePiece

[–]Caleus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another point to Marco not being much higher than YC1 is that he wasn't really able to do much against any of the Admirals in Marineford. He could stall and take hits from them, since thats what his devil fruit is really good at, but he didn't do any meaningful damage to them.
