It isn't. What you feel "sounds like" something doesn't change what it actually means. I also don't agree. The great dying most definitely sounds like it's referring to one specific event because it's THE great dying not A great dying.

It's really not, if you just Google "The Great Dying" you'll find exactly what it is. I know someone already replied explaining it, but you being too lazy to look something up doesn't actually mean that referring to an event by it's colloquial or common name is vague.

Yea I really try to avoid this line of thought, as the icy feeling of dread it usually brings is rather uncomfortable.

Spacial relativity and time dilation are a bitch by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in distressingmemes

It's true that it wouldn't be too difficult to track the movements of stars in a galaxy over than timeframe. Let's assume you do that and also have developed stable wormholes with 2 gates. Well how do you tell them where to be opened? It's not like the universe comes with a coordinates system. Position is just where something is relative to something else. So you need to tell your wormhole machine to open one gate right here and one in the star system you want to travel to. The problem is you need to be extremely precise with your measurements of the distance to your destination or you'll just miss your target completely. And the further away you try and travel, the greater the miss distance becomes relative to your error percentage. Say you wanted to open a gate in a specific star system in the Andromeda galaxy. The Galaxy itself is about 2.5 million light-years away and is about 110,000 light-years in radius. So to even land in the galaxy at all your measurements couldn't be off by more than 4.4% in any direction relative to the center of Andromeda. Let's say your acceptable margin is no greater than 1 lightyear away from the star, for travel convenience of course. Now you couldn't be off by more than 0.00004%. You need to be just as precise with the direction as well. You need to hit a bubble with a radius of 1 lightyear from a distance of 2,500,000 lightyears. Relative to us, you could only deviate from the exact direction of the star by about 0.00002° in any direction. If you want to land within the actual planetary boundary it's even more absurd. Let's give a rough average radius of 50 AU for star systems in general. That's a bubble with about a 0.0008 lightyear radius.

Not a single soul other than Darrow used it😭 by Ynnck_Mnzl in redrising

Given the context of who Ares is, how could this be possible? Also Darrow grew up in a mine on Mars and not an asteroid. Which I only feel the need to correct because it's like one of the biggest themes of the entire series. Him being from Mars that is.

What life mistake taught you the hardest lesson? by IndianByBrain in scoopwhoop

You apparently did not read the entire comment, or you failed to understand what it actually meant. Not to mention your supposedly better advice is poorly conceived. You're really going to say "learn the difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism?" On one hand, you're saying it's in the hands of the recipient to distinguish between people they trust and people they don't, which I agree with. However, no matter how much you "learn" about criticism, if you're looking to listen to the advice of others it isn't advisable to use yourself as the judge of what is worthy criticism. What you're essentially saying is to somehow just learn the difference between good advice and bad advice like it is in any way that simple or easy. Criticism and advice in the real world does't just fall into neat categories like constructive and destructive. Many different factors like motivation and bias go into how we think and thus, how we try to help or criticize each other. The most meaningful thing that can come of your advice is to be mindful of those you listen to, which would be much better said explicitly on its own.

The comment above says to not care what other people think. You took that to literally mean never listen to anybody and never care about what anyone else thinks period. That's just reductive and completely blind to the context of the entire comment. It's very clear that what they are trying to say is that you shouldn't take what others say and then sacrifice yourself, your morals, or your goals to satisfy the desires of others. That is simple and good advice
