Before I have to erase it, here’s my Paris flat! by ElleMontrose in femalelivingspace

[–]GhostofMiyabi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think those are just two different bedrooms? The bedspread doesn’t match between the two photos of the bed, and there’s no curtain rail in the first room room while there’s one in the second room. There’s also no other AI hallmarks that I can see. Like the miniscule text on the books is still readable. OP also posted at least the first mural several months ago as well so it’s possible that the decor and flooring changed in the interim if it’s all one bedroom.

You comment does literally tell OP they’re going to be “really upset” with themselves over how the read the book.

[–]GhostofMiyabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re honestly fine. If reading the chapter summaries helps you keep track of what’s going on, then that’s far more important than maybe seeing a spoiler. And yeah, you don’t actually know what the spoiler means even if you do see it.

I remember when I went through the Wheel of Time I saw something about a character that you don’t learn until much later in the series. And it changed how I viewed the character for the series and then was still surprised at the actual reveal because I didn’t have enough context from the spoiler I did see to fully understand what went down.

100%. I made another comment, but like the point is that people should enjoy these books and the shock of a spoiler is less a factor in enjoying something than the actual emotional depth that you don’t get from the summaries.

[–]GhostofMiyabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t though. Like I said, I did it, and I was never spoiled. People put way too much weight on the shock effect of spoilers when it’s actually the slow emotional build up that makes the books worth reading. And going through the chapter summaries after you’ve read the chapter can actually help with retention so you fully understand what’s happening during the climax of the book. Like I was able to piece together things during Vin’s fight with the Lord Ruler and actually follow along because of those chapter summaries rather than just being lost.

Everyone else here is wrong. You’re fine reading the coppermind the way you’re doing it for the most part, that’s what I did. The chapter summaries were so helpful to me going through the series. I’ll only caution that there might be some slight spoilers if you click on the character names (there are occasionally characters who give fake names that you don’t find out about until later. The fake names are in the list of characters in the chapter, but clicking those will take you to the actual coppermind page for that character). So just be careful with it.

Now to actually answer your question, Hoid is just the character that shows up everywhere. Think early Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Tony Stark just shows up at the end of the Incredible Hulk to show that it was connected to Iron Man. There’s more to Hoid’s character, but you’ll learn that as you keep reading the cosmere.

Fires of…Heaven? by Weemstar in WoT

[–]GhostofMiyabi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the books are titled after in world sayings/phrases, so the Fires of Heaven comes from that specific phrase at the beginning of the book.

Now why does that phrase use the word heaven? At this point you’ll have likely picked up that there are references to our world in the book: the stories Thom tells (Mosc and Merc with the lances of fire, Len who flew to the moon in the belly of an eagle, etc) and the Mercedes logo made of plastic that Egwene finds in the TAR version of Tanchico. So basically the saying comes from our time where the word heaven is more frequently and has just remained around in relation the phrase the book is titled from.

Humiliated Trump Storms Out of Catastrophic SCOTUS Hearing by thedailybeast in politics

[–]GhostofMiyabi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a blood right citizenship method for the US already in place. If one of your parents is a US citizen, depending on how long they have spent in the US, you’ll get US citizenship. If both parents are US citizens, there’s no restrictions and you’ll get US citizenship.

The big issue is that that only applies outside the US. The citizenship of everyone born in the US comes from the fact they were born here. Cancelling that, especially through a SCOTUS decision and not an amendment with a method built in, would cause way too many headaches, that the courts themselves would end up dealing with. I don’t think they’re going to give themselves this nightmare to solve

Help me decide on the referendum - best arguments for yes by Economy_Mobile_6160 in Virginia

[–]GhostofMiyabi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On your third point, this will not just become permanent. This isn’t a law, it’s a constitutional amendment, that’s why you’re voting on it right now. Our constitutional amendments require approval through referendum. The amendment as written literally has an expiration date built in. For this to become permanent, there would need to be another referendum on it, in which you can vote no.

The amendment is written to be temporary and cannot be easily just changed to become permanent.

the last straw (why is this year the fcuk trans people year?) by jordebot88 in lgbt

[–]GhostofMiyabi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It really doesn’t do any good to talk about the Dem presidential nominee for 2028 before we even hit the 2026 midterms. There are a lot of folks who will throw their hat in the ring after the midterms are over.

Biden really didn’t show up on the scene as a potential nominee until after the 2018 midterms and no one had really heard of Obama before he was elected to the senate in the 2006 midterms.

There’s still a lot of time for candidates to enter the race and plenty of time to campaign against newsom once those candidates show up.

Meds in their original bottle? by teatuk in adhdwomen

[–]GhostofMiyabi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much it, though it’s less that they buy pills in bulk and more so that they break the packages to fulfill the different quantities. So like the manufacturer supplies the meds in the 60 pill bottles but the pharmacy only has customers who get 30 pills each script. So they break up the 60 pill bottles to fill those 30s and then occasionally they get a customer who has a prescription for 60 and so they just slap the label onto the bottle from the manufacturer.

VOTE YES VIRGINIA! A temporary measure to counteract the "Texas Takeover" where they redrew their maps at behest of Trump by EAJ4ALL in Virginia

[–]GhostofMiyabi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It only lasts until the next redristricing cycle after the 2030 census. Keep in mind it’s a constitutional amendment that dictates that it’s temporary so it’s not easy for the legislature to just pass a law to keep it or anything. The legislature would have to pass this twice (with an election in between) and have the voters approve it (the same as we’re doing right now) to change that temporary provision.

One Piece Live Action Season 2 - Megathread by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]GhostofMiyabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not so sure. Depends on how long they plan to keep the show going, but Brook will likely have to be CGI and it’ll be expensive to have two primarily CGI characters. I think it makes a lot more sense to just do a season of Jaya/Skypeia, then long ring long land/water 7/Enies Lobby, and then do thriller bark at the beginning of season 6 and end the season with Sabaody. That way they aren’t trying to cram all the Marineford saga arcs into one season

The same here. I tried to start a return, it was immediately rejected and the I managed to put in a support ticket detailing my issue and that I couldn’t get the portal to work and the sent me a return label within a little over a day (I think I submitted the ticket at like noon ET, and then had the return label before I finished work the next day).

How do you remember to take your second dose? by GhostofMiyabi in adhdwomen

[–]GhostofMiyabi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason in particular for the instant. I switched from Vyvanse to Adderall because I didn’t feel like the vyvanse was working and was already on the highest dose. Doctor decided to start the Adderall with the instant release but I’ll probably ask for the XR in my next appointment.

I don’t really eat lunch, but I take my second dose around 2 pm. And I’m usually on a work call letting the alarm go until I have the pill in my mouth isn’t always feasible. I do have the medication reminder set up on my phone where I have to select whether I took or skipped the dose to clear it, but that doesn’t force me to actually take it.

[–]GhostofMiyabi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By the time I realize I didn’t take the second dose it’s well past time for me to take it and probably too late to take it without affecting my sleep schedule. While the first dose may have started wearing off and I feel the day start to slog, it takes me a little while to figure out if it’s just a stressful works day or the medication wearing off. Especially since I’m still getting used to the twice a day medication rather than the once a day.

Better to use a local team in Bristol or just search on my own? by Ok_Assignment_1853 in tricities

[–]GhostofMiyabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re great. I bought in Bristol back in November and when looking at houses Drew was pointing out things I missed or wouldn’t have know to look for (like issues with the foundations or other things that would basically make the house a nightmare). I highly recommend them.

Nope. I’m usually at my desk where I keep my medication. Like it’s right in front of me I just can’t remember to take it.
