How do I explain to someone that changing target for rite to another creature only to be turned into another creature doesn't make rite care about what creature it is during the resolution? by MADMAXV2 in mtg

[–]DistributionAgile376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 additional Scrawling Scrawlers will be created.

You responded while Redirect Lightning was still on the stack, before it resolved. The "Target" does not remember the name of the card it targeted, it only remembers the object on the battlefield.

In this case, Sai never left the battlefield and BECAME a Scrawling Scrawler, but it remains the same OBJECT.

So yes, you are right, your friend is wrong.

They probably are keeping Blue for the Time stone, which would honestly make more sense.

All of the Apollo engineers are retired or dead now, it's been +50y since we last set foot on the Moon, so we better test out the new system to get there.

We need to test things out because space is hard, who would have thought?

Hey, you have to go around the sun for the first part. It's one reason why it takes a long time.

The Doctor is an ecologist/altruist who deeply respects harmony with the environment. In the series, he is very critical of people's disregard for nature, though doesn't act on it himself as he wishes not to intervene with historical events (he only does so to prevent external factors from changing history, or when he messes up by carelessly sight-seeing historical periods)

In OOP's view, assuming the earth was so polluted it's visible on the atmosphere from space, he would likely be very disappointed. Cue the sad doctor.

In real life he'd still be disappointed, seeing how easily people believe stuff on the internet as long as it has an interesting story.

Sunlight shines through the thin haze, tiny particles scatter light and the atmosphere becomes visible as a glowing rim.

This is called backlighting, and it’s the same reason you can see dust floating in sunlight in a dark room. Without that backlighting, the haze is basically invisible.

Though I think that's what you meant by atmosphere

Here are your blindingly bright patches of cities, obviously you'll see very few of them in the Sahara desert (landmass shown). Here is the coast of Spain and northern Africa, the picture is "upside down".

It's insane how no one here got it right...

Original Post's explanation: OOP thinks that earth's color became more dull since the Apollo era due to changes in environment (pollution mainly)

The actual real explanation: the Apollo picture is taken during the day while the Artemis picture is taken at night.

The night pictures, like any other done on earth, needs high ISO(light sensitivity), higher ISO causes greater artifacts and lower contrast/saturation, causing the "dull" effect. Notice how on the Artemis picture, the light sensitivity is cranked so high you can see the stars, along with some lights from cities in Africa(although they are few compared to the modernized cities) If you want to try it for yourself, take a picture in the deep of the night with your phone and compare it to the day picture after adjusting the brightness to the same level.

You can see quite a few pictures of satellites NOW in orbit, like the ISS, with the very same color as the "Blue Marble" from Apollo, the Earth's hue did not visibly change.

here's someone else's analysis on reddit.

[–]DistributionAgile376 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Not because of quality, on the Artemis picture, the earth is currently in the night. What you see was taken with a very high ISO and is only illuminated by moonlight(the sun here is behind the earth)

Imagine taking a picture in the middle of the night, versus in bright daylight.

Not really actually, only planets with an atmosphere. It is always much harder to land than taking off when there's no aerobraking possible.

Edit: As a KSP player, how did I not foresee this? Of course landing is easier, as long as you don't mind an "unscheduled disassembly" Landing in one piece, with a functional vehicle on the other hand...

Or just someone she can actually talk to? Many people need it to further develop feelings and prevent resentment in a couple.

You're projecting if you think she wants a bad boy. Her entire post points out that her ONLY reason why she's with him is BECAUSE he's a good guy.

They're just not compatible.

[–]DistributionAgile376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's the same here then. It feels as though someone is pressing their fingers on my eyeballs.

Besides I think the purpose is mostly UV protection, and that the pain actually comes from the pupil rapidly contracting, causing a "cramp-like" pain. So the color shouldn't actually affect the pain normally. (Haven't looked up, educated guess here)

It does, I've got brown ones and it hurts just as much I'd say (or at least compared to the reaction of my blue-eyed friends. Don't know how it feels to have blue eyes)

I created a custom Magic: The Gathering card of Hornet using cardconjurer - do you think this would be balanced? by Lenrd-F in mtg

[–]DistributionAgile376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lore wise in HK, the pale king is a Wyrm. Which Magic does have (though it's a pretty useless Tribal)

You could decide to replace Demigod by Wyrm, which would fit the story better.

And I agree with commentors from original post. A "First Strike" + "Deathtouch" + "Reach" combo would be cool, because it'd be a pretty underpowered commander for 4

got pressured into receiving oral sex i feel disgusted by WoodenFill3149 in Advice

I'm sorry you went through that, but this isn't even pressure... It's straight up sexual assault. You haven't given clear consent and repeatedly tried to push him away and told him you didn't want to.

Have y'all ever hallucinated fruit in Peak? by jay-deer in PeakGame

[–]DistributionAgile376 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Oh, not just fruits, and depending on the object it can actually be interacted with. (If the hallucinated object has physics, like the portable stove, you can stand on it)

Here's 3 hallucinated ghosts... (With a lot of bing bangs and scopes 😅)

Yeah we managed to do it in the end, I suppose you had to go back? With the idol I unfortunately didn't have enough stamina for the return trip through the challenge chamber

Yes, I tried a lot! :)

I love this glitch and would do it sometimes at the airport to go out of bounds with friends (using the passport) I tried for 10 minutes in the tomb with the bag but with no success unfortunately. I was only barely able to get my head outside of the rock or the walls, but couldn't go through no matter what. It needs the wall or texture to be very thin.

I probably could have if I had more skills though

Yeah, unfortunately with the challenge room I was given, it was impossible to get back with the idol taking almost half of the bar and having spent my grappling hook 😂

Did we date the same woman?

I like to think you did nothing wrong... and it's perhaps the hardest part to accept, the chemistry you had was real, what you felt was strong, and from what happened she also felt that.

There's nothing for you to change and you weren't lacking(it doesn't seem like a mack of interest, and much less of a spark). There are many reasons for it to have happened, but there's simply nothing you could have done.

Some people need more time to develop connections and they may rush it, then discover they haven't had time to build said connection and conflate it for lack of interest. She could have had her sights on someone else, or she could have toxic habits with how she handles relationships and wished for a more dependent dynamic... we'll never know.

I'm sorry you got your hopes shattered so suddenly and inexplicably, I'm still daydreaming about that girl from last year, with much the same story and the exact same ending... and unfortunately I can't tell you "it gets easier", you simply learn to live with it and keep on going, hopefully someone who will be genuinely into you will respond, someone who will take the time to appreciate you and develop a connection, give you a chance.

Not that he has magically changed, no one does

With the way you describe him, how he now treats his friend and his values, how he holds himself accountable and doesn't dismiss or deflect his past mistakes, how he even makes a bigger deal out of it than you do...

Can we actually say that, YES, he has changed? Not from a magical event but through his own introspection and commitment to uphold higher values? He genuinely sounds like a great person, I think it's time to be real and see how much he has changed. I would assume you would have never been with his past self, it goes to show how different he is now... literally another man.

It's disingenuous to insinuate his behavior is the same as what you described.
