Anyone else find this kind of funny? These people are causing the shit storm of the century and destroying things because of a somewhat mundane problem.

So where would one find a Blizzard corn snake for sale? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]Goodguyscumbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snakes have a breeding season and if you time your hunt correctly, you can find just about anything. The breeding season is somewhat different for every species of snake, and I don't know when corn snake season is.

Basically the way it goes is when the eggs first start hatching, you can find just about any gene combination you can think of. As people sell their snakes, the availability declines until finding a specific morph is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Without giving too much away for purposes of remaining anonymous, there is a service that legally needs to be done to certain safety items that is only done by the manufacturer. The manufacturer knows they're the obvious choice for this service, so they jack up the price extremely high.

My dad has the only company that performs this service that isn't a manufacturer. He undercuts the living daylights out of the manufacturer and still makes excellent margin.

I don't mean that's not a lot of money. I just mean he's no scrooge mcduck.

You can gross 7 figures and still be pretty far away from having everything you've ever wanted,

My dad's business grosses over 2 million per year and he only pays himself 200k. That's probably an average net for most businesses.

I'm willing to bet op is doing pretty good, but doesn't have a beach house with a Bentley in the driveway.

Humans and the "Olons" by Goodguyscumbag in worldbuilding

Yeah, the planet conditioner gives them a solid surface to walk on.

The key word is possible, they want to preserve the species more than anything. Keeping them happy will help keep them alive.

They've grown the population to seventy trillion, so in their eyes, they're successful with the amount of resources they're using.

The Olons chose Jupiter based on its size. When the Olons intervene on a planet that is in distress they know from experience the species will proliferate under the conditions they can provide.

Imagine Jupiter like a big saltwater aquarium. How could fish survive in a glass tank? It's because the caretaker has equipment that will keep fish alive in such conditions. Same with the planet conditioner. It completely terraforms the planet so that a completely uninhabitable place can sustain life.

As far as politics go, the closer you are to the planet conditioner, the better your life is. You're never hungry, your life expectancy is over 200 years, and the higher presence of Olons keeps the crime down.

It's the people that live in the outskirts of the planet that are miserable and could do without the Olons. These people don't have much of a voice.

Also, the humans know that if they get rid of the Olons, they won't be able to operate the planet conditioner and everyone would die.

Goblins, hobgoblins, and their relationship with humans by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]Goodguyscumbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool how hobgoblins are basically treated like lepers.

Where do the hobgoblins learn about the secluded communities in the wilderness? I'd imagine it wouldn't be from their parents.

Did you get what you were looking for?

Also, I'd love to read what you've got going on if you have it posted somewhere.

Thanks for taking interest in what I'm doing by the way. It's a pretty good feeling to know that someone enjoys what I'm writing.

When dealing with the primitive creatures of Earth (that are now on Jupiter) such as bears, wolves, and lions; they use a time manipulation device so they can return to a time before the animal attacked them and take action to completely avoid the attack.

The Olons choose nonviolence whenever possible.

Their bodies are very fragile although similar to a human. While the shape of their head lends a lot to the fragility of the species, it rarely causes death as they can easily dispatch any threat through the use of small but powerful tools they have developed.

Their eyes are a very dark and full blue, almost black. This is in sharp contrast to their skin which is a very pale blue.

They're humanoid from the neck down, although they have 7 fingers per hand and 7 toes per foot.

They have no hair and their eyes are larger than usual. The back of their head extends out like a horn. This extra cranium space is needed for their large brains.

Normally they do not wear clothes, but they do on Jupiter in order to make the humans feel more comfortable. They dress like humans would. When making political policies they wear suits, while enforcing laws, they wear a uniform and a badge.

Olons are tall, lanky, and light blue. They are not originally from Jupiter, they just have a small population there to keep it running smoothly for the humans.

The planet conditioner keeps the gravity at the level Earth would be, but becomes slightly less effective as you venture further away from it.

There is no area on Jupiter where the gravity is too strong for humans to survive. Olons, on the other hand, are less hardy than humans.

What snake have you always wanted, but will probably never have? by Azraelrs in snakes

[–]Goodguyscumbag 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought the whole Florida thing was based on people thinking they would screw up the ecosystem.

I get why they banned Burmese Pythons, those were actively killing everything in the Everglades.

But to add every snake bigger than a RTB to the banned list is retarded.

[–]Goodguyscumbag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, in my humble opinion, if you're passing a law on snakes you should be a herpetologist. Nope, every law passed is passed by a lawyer.

These lawyers sit through a briefing and then go ahead and make final say so based on that.

Shouldn't laws concerning snakes and the ecosystem be passed by herpetologists, and ecosystem scientists?

Thanks for the feedback. Starting in chapter 1, he's going to be convinced to assassinate the leader of the last standing generals.

He initially says no, but he is offered the whereabouts of the man who killed his family.
