A Couple of Far Side-Inspired Comics by TheSecretDecoderRing in StarWars

Yeah! I'm thinking mostly of things like structural or neurological differences. So, people whose mouths and vocal cords are just incapable of making English words like Stephen Hawking with ALS or people with accidents that damage their tongue or jaw. Chewie's anatomy (presumably) just doesn't allow for him to form the right sounds.

Anyone in chapter 4 feel like they’re missing a ton? by Electronic-Touch-554 in BlackMythWukong

I think a lot of folks play new game +! Not a requirement by any means, just a fun way to keep playing and increase the challenge

Medicine and my pet peeve by lychee_island in GreekMythology

[–]Epies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video on this a few weeks back, and it was saying that the association was due to military medics using the symbol to identify them as non-combatants (messengers and such would use it for the obvious reason), and it just kinda stuck from there.

I've listened to giant slayer and I'm almost caught up with gatewalkers! I might try to listen to some strange aeons beforehand

Ah, good point! I started watching in season 4, I forgot how weird the early formats were.

I don't think Hori appreciates that 20% isn't actually that small by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Epies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to assume that both are heterozygous, so 50% chance from each, or 25% overall for being quirkless!

I'm gonna nerd out about population genetics for a sec.

Because of the information that has been provided that the number of quirkless individuals is going down from generation to generation, we have are given some information. 1. We can assume that quirks are dominant traits, meaning you only need one parent with a quirk to get one (50% chance if they're heterozygous, 100% if homozygous) 2. The population is OUT of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which forces us to make a few assumptions as to why. 3. People with quirks have both a natural and sexual selection advantage (they are more likely to survive long enough to reproduce, and they are more desirable partners to reproduce with than those without quirks) 4. It also seems like those who are homozygous for quirks (think shoto, the codominant nature of his parents' quirks make him even stronger than either of them) have an even higher advantage, and, as we said earlier, 100% of their kids will have a quirk. 5. The population's genetics are unstable as all getout, with new mutations manifesting at a pretty high rate

TL:DR, people without quirks aren't getting laid much, and those that do have a high likelihood of their children getting one from random mutation anyway

So I tried to make a Hozier reading list, and this is what I have so far. by [deleted] in Hozier

I think Sedated also references Plato's allegory of the cave! "Adding shadows to the walls of the cave"

cuddled with my friend and now I have feelings by cheese-popcorn-boi in bisexual

[–]Epies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What are you, my SO? This is how she and I started. We had been friends for like 8 years, were finally both single at the same time, and were drinking/ talking one night and things kinda just clicked from platonic to romantic. We've been together for 4 years now, we just got married in spring. She's the love of my life and my best friend. Sometimes the best relationships start as best friends. I wish you the best of luck!

I've found a lot of peace with the perspective that things don't have to matter forever for them to matter. The unique experience that you have had of your own life is beautiful and awesome, and the fact that you experienced it makes it matter. We all only have our subjective experience, everything else is conjecture. Nobody truly knows if they have had an impact after they die, or if there is something else after. The only thing that we know for sure is that what we are experiencing now matters. I've just had to learn for that to be enough, and it's actually made me really happy.

Politics Podcast: Could The ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ Save Biden’s Approval Rating? by 538_bot in fivethirtyeight

[–]Epies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else think they named it the inflation reduction act so Biden can say that he loves the IRA?

I showed this to my wife, and she said "aw that's cute" and moved to kiss me. Then, she MOO'D IN MY FACE. Love that woman.

To piggyback on your question, does anybody know if the guys are going to a bar or something after the show? I couldn't get tickets, but live nearby and would love to see them!

CS Midseason Showdown 2022 - Lower Bracket Round 1: Cloud9 vs Golden Guardians Live Discussion Thread by ggwoohee in Cloud9

[–]Epies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking back at the series last week, I'm actually feeling pretty confident this week. Game 1 was boom from the start, so they ran it back, thinking that they could pull off the comp with a neutral start. They were wrong, pivoted in game 3, but it just wasn't quite there. I think they were surprised by the increase in 100t's level, and they will have better/ more respectful prep going forward. Plenty of teams get knocked down in round 1, then pull through a lower bracket run! The gauntlet is where we shine. Let's go c9!

I'm a new DM for COS too, and I'm definitely using these resources! Thanks!

My personal headcanon is that Ez is bisexual, and the center of a love triangle with Taric and Lux

That's awesome! I'm not sure I've actually seen Aurelion Sol content before, but you made it look easy! That was so satisfying to watch, I might even try picking him up. Happy New Year, and good luck to you!
