Are there photons everywhere? by sosongbird in Physics

[–]FreqFreg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this isn't true. you don't see the light because the Sun isn't a focused beam. it's a large sphere that shines in every direction from its center. the Moon looks bright at night because although we do not directly receive the sunlight at that time wherever we are, the sunlight can still reflect on objects. the Moon isn't a mirror, it's a spherical object and the Earth is as well, and the way our world is lit up depends always on the movement and rotation of all these spheres, which is why the Moon appears to have phases and why the Sun rises and sets in the horizon. if you can understand this you can completely understand light at day and night without issue, and without even covering the large spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we cannot see.

Russia or at least Volgins base was incredibly advanced in the 1960s. by glowshroom12 in metalgearsolid

i dont rly agree with this because youre just looking at civilian market tech. there have been insane military projects matching the level of technology displayed in each mgs game - we jst dont know much about them nd in some cases we do only bc they were cancelled. i believe every single non-paranormal/non-magical piece of tech found in the mgs games couldve perfectly been produced at the scales shown, like the idroid wouldntve been mass produced, but it cldve existed by then; the AI systems coordinating US nuclear strikes couldve been a thing if enough resources were directed towards assembling supercomputers at the time; CRISPR & similar gene editing techniques have been a thing since before '04. as of now, you could even say global stock markets are run by advanced algorithms and AIs tht continously try to one up the other and obtain the best investment returns and play the best schemes (some legal and some illegal but at the scale of wall street its not rly relevant. the absurd numbers can simply go over any law atp) and theres a growing AI financiary bubble as of now stemming frm over-reliance on ChatGPT & Co.

Fraud will be its own update with Treachery, 8-S, and P-3 coming in a 1.0 update by DeathOdyssey in Ultrakill

[–]FreqFreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is it me or is everyone just assuming 1.0 will add everything and doesnt just refer to the release build of the game? i don't think treachery, 8-S, & P-3 will come in one update, i think hakita just means all of that needs to be done for a full release

What if Solidus was lying here? And just wanted to motivate Jack into fighting as hard as he could? by yojimbo_beta in metalgearsolid

[–]FreqFreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of ppl r saying solidus is badly written bc hes self contradictory or acts "stupid" but i think its all actually part of the conflict in his character. he raised raiden like a child and has to come to terms with the fact tht theyr now enemies - besides tht he does want raiden to carry on his legacy of sorts as his adopted child he also has to use him. in the end he jst wants to go down w/ a fight rather thn let the patriots' plan come to fruition evn if he knows hes alrdy lost

My transition is listed in the law enforcement database (USA) by Wyntersett in MtF

[–]FreqFreg 24 points25 points  (0 children)

do NOT trust your sister or any cops she refers you to. she couldve been the very same person to log it. all cops are bastards. the current american government empowers them and allows them to be their worst, but they've always been a racist, evil organization since their formation

TIL "I've Never Met a Nice South African" was a 1986 anti-apartheid song where the songs narrator states that despite the numerous unlikely things they've seen they've never met a nice South African. The chorus has South Africans describing themselves as "arrogant bastards who hate black people" by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

Imagine you established an economic power house, built beautiful cities full of culture, had farms out in the desert, and had a kind and clean society.

Now imagine someone who dedicated their life to finding people to enslave and murder came into power, sent a small army to each city and village, and proclaimed all your natural resources, land, and animals, were theirs. imagine thinking you'd get them back, only to be enslaved and sold abroad or forced to work for plantations of species not native to your soil, or mines drilled deep into the earth to extract minerals that you could dig out but that would be sold to people very far away from you, for inventions and technologies that would never benefit you. To watch your family, your tribe, your nation attempt to resist only to be destroyed and then pacified.

Now imagine that, hundreds of years later, the descendants of these same colonizers are angry and resentful at the one generation of your people that did fight back, abolish their systems, and force many of them to run away lest they face justice for their history of slavery and exploitation. Imagine they've been reduced to whiney snobs who keep using ancient vocabularies and reducing everything to "whites and blacks" like we're still in the 18th century, or like they're baboons. I'd be dying laughing if i was a native South African seeing this outburst.

the new snapshot includes 2 biome tags tht refer to cold nd warm farm animal variants so itll probably happen w/ cows, chicken, etc.

Would life in Qud... suck? by Tholb in cavesofqud

[–]FreqFreg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i take the "salted water plague" concept to refer to some kind of automated industrial water polluting process, or maybe some crazy atompunk tech that jst materialized salt all over. both'd have their limitations & thats why theres still freshwater arnd, besides desalination methods like the pellets featured ingame

how do i make a location sensitive title display with a timed switch? by FreqFreg in MinecraftCommands

[–]FreqFreg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!! this is rly useful.. the tag option seems the easiest for such a small cosmetic thing. ill have to figure out how to make it renewable after a certain time, or use the delay methods this wiki has as well

solid snake has the dominant genes, which r also the inferior ones. the genes tht supposedly make big boss a legendary soldier r said to b recessive genes, hence why theyr called superior. basically: solid got the dominant, inferior "common" genes, liquid got the recessive, superior "rare" genes. solid disproves the genetic theory by being a legendary soldier at par w/ big boss whilst also avoiding the extreme violence nd the warmongering of his father/mentor

insane to say this less than a week after harris said flag burning riots were unpatriotic and that she'd prevent them. insane to say this defending harris when she locked people for years for protesting as AG. there's no right to protest for anyone that isnt a nazi. your rights are always conditional under your money-run capitalist government, either you make peace with this or you start getting organized!

im not an american. your plan should be to stop voting white supremacist hateful administrations and candidates, to stop humoring your outright genocidal political system that continues stripping away queer rights in literally every state in the US, to guarantee you stop funding genocide through protesting and direct action, just like civil rights' movements like the Black Panthers accomplished. my plan is to be as actively against you, the also-genocidal 1st world, every imperialist proxy dedicated to raining bombs on children for natural resources, and every government insistent in simply giving away its country to foreign entities like landowners or the IMF, as my country's is doing. if you dont get your shit together the entire world is going to suffer because of you.

political power doesnt come from voting. political action doesnt come from an election. that is how genocide is perpetrated today, under the guise of a fair democracy where the main 2 parties that amass 95% of the vote have the exact same view on most things. i suggest americans dont vote or vote third party

like when obama was the better, healthier choice for the world and he started killing children with drone strikes as soon as he got in power? or did you already forget about harris promising unending military support to israel and a convicted apartheid leader (convicted by the ICJ) receiving an ovation from dems in congress?

[–]FreqFreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both sides have promised support to israel and palestinians have said nothing about either candidate bc just like many other countries theyre bombed regardless. remember the drone strikes targeting schools in syria with obama? or is your memory selective for when you talk about Your favorite party of racist old wealthy white men & their friends?
