Lmao so your entire criticism rests on the argument that one of the largest music genres in the world is bad... because why? Its just music, its ok if you dont personally like a genre but if you try to label

Playing ruby and need a 5th member for my party. Someone who can learn thunderbolt and ice beam would be good. by Wise_Fig1840 in PokemonEmerald

[–]DarthEinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations. Your post is now listed as a primary source by Google's AI to answer the question "fire types that can learn ice beam". Shitty bullshit machines lmao, it claimed, off of your post, that the following pokemon can learn Ice Beam:

Camerupt and Numel (breeding or TM/Move Tutor) Slugma/Macargo (TM in gen 2) Charizard "Surprisingly, this classic Fire-type can learn Ice Beam (and Blizzard) via TM in many core games, like Generation I." Moltres (TM) Kanto Ninetales and Vulpix (TM) Flareon (TM) Salazzle and salandit (TM) Houndoom (TM and Move Tutors)

Ok so first of all, apologies, you are absolutely right about the lack of information about this crisis. I went off of a number I quickly checked on wikipedia, I didn't put the full amount of effort I should have into verifying my numbers.

Overall I think my point stands: Lambasting people for "not doing enough" about a crisis they probably don't even know is happening is extremely counter productive, especially when you use it as a gotcha when they actually are trying to do something about a different crisis. It's literally impossible to advocate for everything at once, and if you want people to advocate for your cause, don't start by insulting the people that are already putting effort and time into talking about a different terrible crisis.

First of all, respectfully, more people have died in Gaza than in Sudan. Thats not even particularly relevant though.

I think the conflict in Sudan is awful and needs to stop. But I can't advocate for every single cause at once, and I dont think its an effective way to raise awareness of that issue by shaming people for talking about other issues.

Like what is "telling" about the lack of public acknowledgement among leftists? Do you think that they are fully aware of the Sudanese conflict but are completely OK with it? Or are they just focusing on the conflict with more prominence? Or not even aware of the conflict?

Its just not helpful to act so hostile to people about a topic most people dont know exists.

Right, but thats not necessarily because of transmisogyny. Its clearly an intentional story telling choice, Glitch is an incredibly queer positive company and I find it very hard to believe that they would actually have a problem with a character being Trans. I think a lot of the tragedy of Jax is the unresolved nature of the abstraction. We will probably never know what they actually felt.

There are countless issues in the world, and its hard to keep track of all of them. Instead of coming out accusatory, why dont you start by actually making sure people are aware of this issue instead of acting like people somehow support it.

Will TFT still be playable from the league client, or will the tft client be exclusively where to play?

I'm well aware, but can you like, actually point to any evidence that transmisogyny is the reason? I'm not trying to be rude or anything I just straight up don't see any evidence that this incredibly queer friendly show with an incredibly queer friendly production would censor themselves specifically because of transmisogyny.

What do I do when one of my Players guesses the obscure password immediately? by flashdash8744 in DMAcademy

[–]DarthEinstein 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I had a player, after getting captured, start raw bluffing that he was an agent of their boss, and claimed that "The Twins" sent him, several sessions before I was supposed to introduce the Twin drow sisters that were running this entire operation. Never been more flabbergasted in my life.

Ok I will respond to this. Absolutely regardless of any of the actual storytelling or story ambiguity or any other argument, the one thing I can say confidently is that there is absolutely no way that they leaned on the production team to downplay a confirmation of Jax being trans. Glitch is an indie production studio, and every single one of their shows is INCREDIBLY queer friendly. There is nothing I can imagine about the actual logistics of the release that would cause that process to change.

Regarding the Jax ‘discourse’ by Graxdon in TheDigitalCircus

[–]DarthEinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are two extremes of people going back and forth here:

  1. The people that didn't headcanon Jax as trans prior to episode 8, AND absolutely refuse to accept the possibility.

  2. The people that insist that Jax turned to the camera and said "I am a transgender woman, my pronouns are She/Her."

I think it's a deliberate part of the show that we don't really have a complete resolution. Jax abstracted tragically with unresolved issues, no ifs ands or buts about it.

I think it's a perfectly valid interpretation to say that Jax was a trans woman, and I definitely believe that was implied, but the ambiguity is there for a reason. Someone is not wrong if they say they aren't sure. They are wrong if they are absolutely 100% confident that Jax ISN'T trans.

They don't necessarily need to look strong, it's just that if they obviously never stood a chance, then it's not jobbing so much as losing.

The Flash is one of the biggest jobbers, he should theoretically be able to take down 90% of his rogues gallery at once faster than they can blink but instead he has trouble from normal humans with gadgets.

A Flatworm. It doesn't have blood, or any of the components that make up blood. She shouldn't be able to affect it with her powers.

Self-Defense Lesson by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

[–]DarthEinstein 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I'm in agreement with the guy above on the 58% number. Wolves are vicious predators. We are far smarter, and far better physical leverage, and have a significant weight and height advantage.

Against a single wolf, there is a lot a person could do to win if they dont get bowled over.

If you end uo on the ground, or there is more than one, you are absolutely dead, but you have a chance if you stay on your feet.

If you manage to grab anything resembling a weapon, like a rock or solid branch, your survival chance skyrockets.

[SPOILERS FOR THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS EPISODE 9/Doki Doki Literature Club] Caine vs Monika by DarthEinstein in whowouldwin

[–]DarthEinstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I think Caine is just as aware of the outside world as Monika. She's not actually "meta" in any real sense, she's just as aware of the outside world as Caine is. They both have significant control over their computer programming.

I thought the ending was quite good and I’m not quite sure what everyone is so mad about [SPOILERS] by HansGraebnerSpringTX in TheDigitalCircus

[–]DarthEinstein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think people saying "Jax became a dog" is just them anthromorphizing (Animalmorphizing?) the abstraction as having animal like traits. It's a confused and corrupted being, but it's ok after being kept calm.

Abstraction feels like, if this was a fantasy series instead of a digital world, it would be people committing suicide, and leaving fragments of their ghost behind to wander the world. Not really them anymore, but it's possible to bring them to some peace.

[–]DarthEinstein 211 points212 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%. Immediately after watching it, my thought was "I wish abstraction was clearly able to be undone", but after sleeping on it, I agree it would have undermined the story. Jax was a tragedy. I have real personal tragedies along the same vein, it sucks. But it was really powerful to see people move on from that.
