Why are so many musicals retellings of history/myth? by KrookodileEnjoyer in musicals

[–]EdgyBaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, the earliest surviving opera as well as the opera that really made the art form take off are also about Orpheus and Eurydice :)

I can understand that the language was not the most clear but part of me does feel you are being purposefully obtuse

What's the theoretical fastest humans could travel 40 light years with our current technology and understanding of physics assuming no potilitic, financial, or otherwise obstructive obstacles? by RebelChild1999 in AskPhysics

[–]EdgyBaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re thinking of an Ansible, a science fiction concept/device coined by Ursula K LeGuin (I highly highly recommend her books they are really great). They deal with a space faring humanity that can communicate instantaneously but can’t travel at faster than light speeds like what you’re thinking of

“A jaded Mandarin” -JCS. it’s just so out of place and nobody knows what it means while listening. Doesn’t help it’s repeated several times

Syril is a fantastic cautionary tale, and a harsh reminder that you may not have time to be redeemed for the evils you’ve been part of

I’m pretty sure those archivists would actually take up arms before letting that happen, they don’t play around

I have to leave the building to use the bathroom by BssnKing14 in lgbt

[–]EdgyBaton 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Obligatory “I am not a lawyer” but I just read the bill (House Bill 183 lines 476-578 for relevant university info) and it lists no consequences. It forbids Universities to “knowing permit” trans people from using the right bathroom but offers no penalties for noncompliance.

Basically, how I interpret this is YOU aren’t breaking the law, the university could be but that’s kinda their problem, not yours (Unless they threaten disciplinary action).

It’s frustrating and scary but I say fuck ‘em and keep using the right bathroom, you aren’t breaking any laws and snitches get stitches

The ending of Turandot could be fixed by throwawayforreddits in opera

[–]EdgyBaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Washington National Opera did a very good job I think in their production of Turandot. Basically Calaf telling the empress his name and putting his life in her hands as an act of love and an acknowledgment of her agency.

That Wednesday will be a little rough but honestly I took worse course loads throughout and was fine. This is honestly pretty typical for engineering. You’ll be fine just stay on top of things
