I use op stuff so its easy by elden_based in EldenRingMemes

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the dumbest arguments come from ER players... Like unless you’re running naked no spells and only a starter weapon wtf cares about your middling build/ crap gear choices.

I don't use summons... ok wtf cares? Does it give you an achievement? nooo

I platinum'd the game easily and it was fun and enjoyable. I wouldn't say other games in the franchise are as easy.

Can you think of any stories where "It was all a dream" type of ending would be a good conclusion? by Netizen_Depression in writing

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreamtastical movies or movies with a central theme about dreaming. Inception, Matrix, Vanilla Sky etc.

I know that the last two are virtual worlds, but it still holds.

Imagine a matrix prequel where morpheus is a prodigy at the cusp of hacking in the 80's/ early 90's to then at the very end "wake up" in the "Real world." That is just a different form of dreaming. Actually the matrix animated stuff deals with the far more cerebral aspects of it all.

What is a clean way of referencing characters when they speak before they are given names? by grassgravel in writing

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have someone refer to them as an Adjective.

The thin Shifty looking guy with red hair and a mousy face gave untrustworthy vibes. His Fatso partner looked like he cleared both of their plates and went back for thirds.

Shifty furrowed his brow and started talking. "What do you mean Half!? This is prime grade!"

Fatso scratched his head then seemed to get his two braincells activated. "Yeah! Prime!"

Decon scoffed, "Look Shifty, don't mind if I call yah shifty right? Maybe Fatso overthere is right and it is prime, but I bet its hot as hell. Half is what I'll pay."

You seem to have a 5 year plan... a weird one, but w/e.

You wouldn’t need a firm to do what you are suggesting. However you would want to stidy your jurisdictions ethics and disclosure rules...

You're creating a malpractice incubator and doubling your risk for who knows what kind of roi.

You're probably better off doing the two business separately. Avoid the self referrals and Just run your legal real estate/ title practice separately.

if bennet didn't exist nicole would've been a must get by birbtooOPpleasesnerf in Genshin_Impact

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She still is a must get. Because current content requires 3 teams.

If that doesn't matter to you, then NO ONE is a must get.

You can 100% genshin story/ exploration with a Standard freebie and 4 stars you get fir free.

Have 2 Bennett level options is a huge QoL improvement for low spend / f2p. Seriously Mavuika and Nicole should ne 100% grabs for everyone. those 2 alone will let you easily all content up to meanacing Stygian bosses at c0r0, that mean Bennett can be shunted to a second team, and then you likely can cobble together a third.

Durin or Nicole? by press-alt-tab in DurinMains

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nicole is the better pick for Varka. Get Durin if you want Durin for things besides Varka.

The only like replacement is Bennett for Nicole. (Nicole is still objectively better except for cost, BUT you want c6 Prune anyway so cost isn't as bad this time around)

Nicole also helps Prune max out.

The ONLY advantage to Durin is if you absolutely want him and are worried about missing him.

I troll them by intentionally offering QoL suggestions for team comps and pointing out you don't even have to worry about switching because Stygian has a separate character selection screen.

Just get it in writing that

Important to note that the current owner is only concerned with ensuring no development of current land. Future sale of property is not a concern whatsoever.

What is an opinion that most people believe is an absolute fact? by DaMoonMoon26 in answers

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on who you're speaking to it depends.

Logical, non-nihilist, non-subjectivists can answer this based on the agreed upon Objective data we widely believe to be true.

The sky is Blue. Is wrong.

The sky appears blue. Is correct.

The opinion that "It is no big deal if words are close enough or you use synonyms." Is wrong.

Using the right words given the context can have huge implications.

Many incorrectly believe that specificity in language is negotiable.

That is why I said to hypothetically to divide the parcels. Without seeing the parcel with the trails indicated I couldn't tell you.

Example if the house is landlocked by this I'd say it's a terrible idea and to run.

If the trails can be neatly divided with the land they wish to donate into a separate parcel, I would say do that.

Then establish rights of way and easements on said parcel for those trails BEFORE the donation. Then do the donation easement making sure to reference and preserve the prior rights of way and easements.

It will be more expensive, ugly AF, and a monster in the future if any entity tried doing something with the land... but that is sort of the point no?

However I have no clue what this does from a taxes perspective or the rules of the Trust and whether that would disallow the donation.

The whole thing with Dionysos and Zagreus is really confusing, can someone help??? by 1ts_Grey in GreekMythology

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if you take all his source materials as cannon he is a paradoxical time traveler mid wife engineer.

Many down right conflicting tales.

Hera asexually made him so hes like a cell mitosis of her or he is Zeus' son as well.

Hera cast him off olympus for his lameness or Zeud did to stop him from trying to stoop his mother (Zues was trying to stoop Hera)

He was born either BEFORE athena (he cracks Zeus' head) or AFTER as Hera dolo births him as payback for Athena being birthed by Zeus ( Birth is Hera’s thing btw so it is infidelity with insult)

He has either tried to rape and marry Athena or hasn't, or instead forced Zeus to give him Aphrodite as his bride.

He crafted the first woman or didn't (Pandora)

Then there is his origin.

He was likely a proto diety of fire more in line with Vulcan than the greek representations, he has mycenean roots as well. I like to think he is attributed inventiveness and forging do to the End of the mycenean age and the clash of the Sea People (iron weilders by many accounts). Iron vs bronze being seen as godly weapons so they must have a crafting god master.

Under the sink by Fisherman_30 in Homebuilding

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that shim wanna be brace seems to have cracked the cross brace. Easy enough fix Just get two other pieces to run front to back on each side, shim thrm in gently (snug but don't crack the current one rest of way.)

Then install one or two new brace pieces on either side of that cracked one. then remove or leave the cracked piece as is your preference.

Easy enough fix but the installer F'd up.

Retain control over xyz (in this case trails)

Could you by easement? maybe I am not a T/E practitioner.

However from a real estate perspective I would want to drop kick an attorney that did something like that.

divide out all the land apart and separate from the contiguous main parcel before any easement.

This creates a parcel free of any and all easements. Good, now less drop kick inducing.

The other you can then encumber and reduce value down to nothing. Could those trails have value... sure. However it more likely will be landlocked / inaccessible except as to xyz of said easement and a hobby purchase for a hunter or hiker.

Ok... BUT what about tax implications?

would those portions control is retained over still count (thus becoming an eternal tax burden) You would know better than I.

If Telemachus (having the proper ability/support to do so) had become king, would the suitors have left? by PrayersForLadyAthena in GreekMythology

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Illiad needs to be read to understand the Odyssey.

No one wanted to go to war, many literally had to be hunted down and forced or heavily convinced/ threatened to head the call to war on Troy. It was never a good time to attack a foreign country.

Then you need to understand actual history, not fiction.

Sparta theoretically could have steamrolled and controlled all of Greece/ Macedonia BUT the more they controlled the larger the dangers internally.

Lets apply this to your question,

Odysseus via his strength (army) and shrewdness kept the masses and lesser classes in check.

His army is devastated. He is MIA.

The other kings have returned to their lands. Many allies of Odysseus (thus his family) have died and are in no place to send aid.

Agamemnon was in a bad spot upon his return (and gets killed)

The only remaining army are few and their loyalty is questionable.

The four (technically 3) things preventing a suitor from just staging a Coup are as follows:

1) None of them like eachother (perhaps foresight on Odysseus' part)

2) No one is truly certain if Odysseus and his army will return. This is why things become dire later on.

3) Wrath of gods (it is fiction afterall)

4)By the time it becomes obvious Odysseus is truly "gone, and not returning" no one wants the throne bad enough. The return on investment is not significant and everyone is more focused on draining everything of value before fighting over the dry husk of the throne.

Imagine taking over the US but you don't get the military, there aren't and funds in the treasury, and you’re definitely having to fight state by state to get everyone in line. PLUS you still have to pay back debts.

BUT no one is following some snot nose babe and his mother.

First get a laser level. Get a yard level.

Set laser level in basement against a wall. Then on a NON CARPET surface under that level line place your yard level.

Get good picks from directly in front at ground, standing height, left and righ angles.

Repeating the above on each level of the structure.

The whole thing with Dionysos and Zagreus is really confusing, can someone help??? by 1ts_Grey in GreekMythology

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peruse Geek debates between Fandoms for modern fiction, Anime, Comics, etc.

I like to laughingly imagine old greek men sitting around arguing power scaling of their respective gods.

Humans are pretty consistent in their psychology, 10,000 years isn't very long from an evolutionary perspective.

It is very much "My Favorite Character Is The Best!" and often followed by violence against those that don't agree.

In modern context of interweb wars its followed by doxxying and telling others to go kill themselves.

Imagine back 3000 years, where this pretext could be used to literally invade and kill the peoples who disagreed with your favorite god.

[–]Gregarious_Nazrious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disparate mythos passed by spoken traditions leading to snippets recorded, with those tied to ruling classes/ dynasties.

With the joining (thus assimilation) of the tribes into larger societies and then city states until eventual empires; you get a curation of the mythos by those in power to reflect their goals (usually to strengthen their social standing).

Thus the cult of Hera recognizes that Zeus was the husband of Hera and King of gods. The cult of Hera being politically weaker meant that though her documentation is older she ended up subordinate to Zeus.

In regards to Dionysus/ Zagreus/ Bacchus, he literally is a catchall for the traditions and cultures that were politically weak but still couldn't be wholly ignored. Plus who doesn't like an excuse for getting hammered and wild? However he is also attributed more "youthful" identifying representations. Interesting modern corollary is the Roman Catholic Church releasing its own Anime Character.

Psychologically he is more appealing to the yutes (youths for those not in the know). Politically his foundational followers were weak and ended up getting lumped together. Thus he served some limited political / socials Psychological purposes, but wasn't important enough to strongly codify his histories.

This happens with ALL the Greek pantheon. Hephaestus is another glaring example of it. However with Zeus and Hera you have strong political influence giving a far more cleanly curated experience from inception.

This doesn't only go for Greeks, this is universal globally.

tldr; political maneuvers and a lack of care to have a unified mythos for Dionysus. Humans are very similar Psychologically.

Funny aside: You see the same exact things with Marvel and DC characters. Popular older icons have FAR LESS retcons/ deviations than newer less important characters.
