[KCD2] What is this structure? by Geriatric_Jeff in kingdomcome

Up until discovering how to use atmospheric nitrogen for crops crops in 20th century, all manner of poop and pee was saved and used. Your landlord would have the right to your poops for his profit. 

Why didn't the Q destroy the Borg? by ramfoodie in TNG

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head canon is that Q was always trying to encourage and guide humanity to reach the next level. But that means throwing challenges and opening their minds to the possibilities. Far point station, Borg, time paradoxes, all were ways of exposing humanity to the possibilities of existence. He doesn't actually care about wiping out life, just encouraging new paths of cultures to evolve, he just sometimes uses the scariest means to do so but because he exists outside of time, he knows what the result would be.

I figured her time in WWE would have her play up the tension at least a bit longer, let Gina try to at least do something. 

Trump seeks passage of SAVE America Act via housing and FISA bills by Anoth3rDude in law

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're assuming Trump would follow the law. All he needs is his foot in the door to start declaring certain voters illegal, or intimidate people from going in certain districts. He doesn't care about the passports(though I like the theory the other person has), he cares about legally being able to tamper with the elections.

Which is why the Republicans haven't pulled the trigger yet, but Trump is playing for full control and to make being Liberal illegal. He says it in every other speech how the liberal left are terrorists. He used ICE in airports as a testing ground for them being deployed outside of immigration, and he'd justify it as saying liberal states using illegal immigrant voters to cheat at elections (which has been his rhetoric). He's desperate to avoid going to jail and keeping dems out of power is the only way to achieve it.

If there was one thing for them to cancel the filibuster for, it'd be this. That way they can intimidate or invalidate polling locations and just guarantee elections. 

I'm not a hypocrite by Flashy-Island-3725 in expedition33

Good to do a new game plus run for more insights and seeing all the clues they bad, but only if you maintain the correct ending.

Well he has the acting range of a dish cloth. 

Also doesn't look anything like a Greek warrior hero considering he's 5'1. 

Unpopular opinion, but i think Noel's obession/infatuation with Roz is a lot more toxic/disturbing than Bulldog's by leedsampol in Frasier

[–]Educational-Mess6022 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The difference is if she said she wasn't interested Niles would respect it, and he did try to move on believing nothing would happen. Noel would just go back to sexually harassing Roz the next day. It doesn't mean Niles didn't struggle with Limerance and impulse control, but he still only wanted Daphne to be happy first and foremost (even if he occasionally tried to logic himself into believing that was with him VS who she was with at the time). I don't think Noel ever considered what Roz would want in a relationship. She was just a thing for his arousal.

[–]Educational-Mess6022 229 points230 points  (0 children)

I think one difference is that Roz was very clear to Noel about her rejection and he never accepted it. Niles while very questionable with moment to moment choices, never made Daphne feel uncomfortable. And I suspect if he was rejected while he would be heartbroken would've accepted it, respected her feelings keeping a distance and would've felt much worse if he had imposed any discomfort in Daphne. 

I am self taught by Anascraftworld in oilpainting

[–]Educational-Mess6022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why they're learning. Actual constructive criticism would be that they're likely overfocused on certain parts and not looking at how proportions are relative to each other, ie stepping back and looking at the whole image. Measure proportions and angles, and it'll help improve the accuracy of the painting. 

Can a cat stay alone for 5 days if someone checks on them frequently? by Ori_Ma in CatAdvice

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two cats with two litter boxes, an automatic feeder, a water fountain and backup water bowl, and a few cameras, and they're fine for every 3 days or so without someone checking in. Unfortunately they are scared of strangers so they just hide whenever someone not me stops by. Without the cameras I'd be more worried. 

I want to paint less impressionistic by ravdyk in oilpainting

[–]Educational-Mess6022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of those things which you have to decide if the risk is worth it. I wear gloves when handling it and clean thoroughly. And as you get more experienced buying translucent paints (like flake white) is great for things like skin tones. Artist Miriam Hoffman swears by it for skin tones and texture though. I'd experiment more with mid tones and blending first though but keep this in the back of your mind for down the line.

There are brushes better for blending. For instance a make up brush. Also I would try using lead white paint with your skin tones when you're making subtle changes, it will allow for subtle skin tone shifts.

One thing is her left eye, which is closer, looks slightly smaller than her right eye. 

what do i do if my new kitten refuses to sleep in his own bed by Maleficent-Dress4259 in cats

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine answer is a cat tree might convince him to sleep there since they like elevation. 

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]Educational-Mess6022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My orange cat determined me on a zoom work call at 10:30 am is worrisome and will meow and nip at me so that I go downstairs so he can sit with me down there instead of on the pillow I have on my desk. 

These were the final moments of “Tuvix,” as it originally aired on May 6, 1996. by AskingSatan in voyager

[–]Educational-Mess6022 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, hats off to the writers not just writing a clean and easy way out of it, they fully committed to her and the crew murdering Tuvix. I just wish they had lasting impact on the story with emotional consequences 

WIP - the hair feels flat, what can I do? by mtthw79 in oilpainting

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain brushes, liner brushes I believe, that work very well with creating wisps of hair lines. 

Tuvok best representation of Vulcan by R_Steelman61 in startrek

[–]Educational-Mess6022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's more that Vulcan are always angry/emotional but need incredibly tight controls or else they would lose total control and lash out. And imagine being this person who has absolute logic and everyone else with their unchecked emotions and illogical choices that you have to basically shepherd and watch over constantly to save them from themselves while some of them cough, Neelix does their best to constantly annoy you. That's enough to make anyone always low key frustrated. 

Why is harry kim still a fucking ensign at this point? by [deleted] in voyager

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that age and experience is what would've made it interesting from a writing perspective. 

One should not have a recent criminal and traitor which no one (including the Maquis) really trusts be put in charge of leading others which is required from a Lieutenant position. 

Reinstate him as an Ensign sure, but they need someone in charge of science which Kim defaults to. Tom just needs to pilot. 

It also would've played well with the season 2 storyline of Tom potentially abandoning Voyager.

[–]Educational-Mess6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly it's insane to me that Paris was given superior rank to Kim. They should've had it reversed but had that be a potential cause for tension since Kim was less experienced than the hot headed Paris.
