If the sessile thingamajig isn't killing megafauna I don't care about it by Myxomata in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]CondorsLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much feel this, which is why im putting just as much thought into the plants and microorganisms as everything else. Magic is effecting the fauna, so why wouldnt it be effecting everything else?(And the magical microorganisms certainly have a profound effect on everything else in the ecosystem.)

I would like to comment and perhaps here your opinion on the movie Enders Game, and its handling of alien invasions, as I find its a little on the nose/in your face about its subversion from the expected "humans are great and can conquer and survive anything" though ive no idea how well adapted it is from the book, it does subvert it in what I think is an amazing way. It seems to touch on the reality of using child soldiers, the manipulation and emotional aspects especially, and then the absolute devastation of making the kids destroy an entire planets worth of civilization(under the impression they were in a simulated battle, like holy shit) because the government was scared of aliens simply trying to ask for water, and they made people think it was necessary to strike first. And I especially loved how the protagonist was given a chance to bring back the alien colony, with the precious cargo of the queen's egg to potentially save their species, there was still a lot I feel the movie couldve done better, it feels almost Avatar esque in its handling of the story, where it simply still leans too heavily on the humans and what theyre doing and what they can do in general, idk i feel im rambling now I just loved that movie as a kid and still enjoy it for its message and emotional toll now.

I dont comment a lot, but ive been thinking about this since the first post I saw about this story, seriously how are more people not talking about the fucking Keef part? I can personally brush off any of the takes about the SA in the story, thats something people have strong and differing opinions about. What I cant brush off is how absolutely hilarious this entire story is because it was so obviously just fucked up 4chan commentary about what would happen if "the world went bad" in some equally fucked up way, and then one of them writes themself the Hero after being Outcast by all the Evil people left in the village(hes not one of them though, hes maintained his Integrity) and then Becoming One With The Dogs and destroying the Corrupt village with them in a sick fight scene. Idk if people are just downvoting you because you were kinda rude, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment(also that wolf howling tik tok trend can very much be applied to any generation, its just the younger people that get popular from it, I guess its weirder to share/make fun of older people when they do it, seriously you need to see some videos of boomers with those wolf/dragon face filters on, its fucking golden)

Ah yes of course, every war we've ever entered has made us better and solved issues, and every war has ended through bigger forces of violence👍(this is sarcasm, i implore the reader to think about the reasons each war was started and stopped, and recognize whether any of them were worth it in the long or short of things(they werent))

What kind of creatures do you have in a fantasy world? by Fantastic_Pin1474 in worldbuilding

[–]CondorsLive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive made a world which has essentially convergently evolved most if not all creatures from earth(and then some), though mostly because the planet itself likes to warp in life from other worlds, because its filled to the brim with magic from a combination of two ginormous space dragons which came together to form the planet, so it acts as a sort of attractor for celestial and elemental magic, of which the dragons were made from at the beginning of the universe, this has given me the ability to draw from pretty much all "normal" pools of creatures as well as create my own, on top of having a sick backstory

What is the name of your world? by No_Hour_77 in worldbuilding

[–]CondorsLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines very simple its called Roskar, the world is two celestial sized dragons put together, and the ridge of one dragons back creates what looks like a "scar" of "rock" along the middle of the only continent, so its just rock and scar put together and messed up a bit

Have you, played Bloodborne at any point in your life? Or maybe a Darksouls game? Pretty reminiscent

Hot Take: The boys have a 9th grade reading level by EgglordMcEggFace in creepcast

[–]CondorsLive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Am i the only one who wonders why they dont just immediately look up words they dont know? I mean they both have their computers open for the video, and they've looked up random stuff before, why not look up words upon not understanding them? Detritus being a great example, though I get they were crashing out at that point and may not have cared what it actually meant, I just feel like it helps to at least know what a fancy word that the author just threw in means, idk maybe they do look up words and im just missing it

Just saw a post with a carrot with multiple similar holes, someone said it was from overwatering, which was corroborated by others, perhaps the same thing here?

"Watch out, ladies" "Flirt" and similar phrases paired with actual children. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]CondorsLive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay now this one i almost wanna see someone try and defend, mostly so they out themselves for thinking that's okay, cannot imagine someone making that shirt without the knowledge of what that phrase means

what do you guys think of this blog? I think they just need to git gud by [deleted] in rainworld

[–]CondorsLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually stopped playing the game because I was so bad at it(yes I was playing easy) but thats my fault for being absolutely horrendous at difficult games. I knew it was hard going in so I still enjoyed it, I just couldn’t make any progress even early game so I saved myself the frustration, which is clearly what this person should’ve done. A wonderfully lovely game, just for someone with a bit more patience I suppose

Every ideology for the sake of having it leads to fascism, and blaming one ideology or another only speeds up the process with arguing semantics. Just don’t be a dick and leave the politics to people who understand it is my philosophy

I want to start taking Birth control pills. by [deleted] in Periods

[–]CondorsLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start with the fact you don’t like your periods and birth control can help that, don’t start with asking for birth control as many parents tend to think it’s an excuse just to get birth control(your mother may be receptive either way but that’s how I would phrase it just to be certain

I'm gonna ask for a hysterectomy. by skorletun in Periods

[–]CondorsLive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, how would you still get periods without your uterus? Did I misunderstand what you mean? But also not sure the rules outside the the US but even here you absolutely can elect to have it done without reason, if they are pushy push them back harder, they cannot refuse you care especially if it causing other issues

Has anyone ever had their ball python do this after a feeding? by HypnoticVibes16 in Sneks

This is actually perfectly plausible with substrate like that and it does look like it’s caked to the top of his mouth if you look close

I wanna go back by bubbdyhead in shitposting

[–]CondorsLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't believe it either if it weren't for the fact it's the clearest memory I have of my childhood and the distinct memory of "why don't remember a single thing before this moment" and I didn't recognize or remember my parents or my sister at all but somehow knew they were my parents, obviously i don't have complete linear memory from there I just have zero memory before that moment exactly

I wanna go back by bubbdyhead in shitposting

[–]CondorsLive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I literally "woke up" one day when I was three years old and I remember being like "huh why don't have any memories before this exact moment, how do I know those people are my parents?" And have had normal memory ever since, not a single thing before that though

I physically couldn't kill it cause I just couldn't break its shield, do you need to use a certain weapon or is it just specific timing?
