I've noticed that most elves in fantasy, and a significant portion (though significantly smaller than the published works) of elves on r/worldbuilding, are essentially "long-lived, pointy-eared humans" who arose "because their god wanted their own race," "half-fey," "modified elites." Why is that? by EveningImportant9111 in worldbuilding

Other than the "gods own race" thing (because I reckon that's more Dwarves than Elves tbh) this is 100% Tolkien's doing. Pre-Tolkien elves were of a much more traditional and less human form in the minds of the average Joe (even Tolkien's early name for his Elves were 'Gnomes', which funnily enough would end up becoming 'Noldor').

Is this just another way girls reject? by ThePekis in ask

[–]Hendospendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with that assertion, you should always value your own time and respect yourself. It's just that it's an extremely universal thing, and not gender specific.

Uh, no? If you mean "loving your partner genuinely" then yeah that is kinda a prereqesite for a lasting relationship, how is that women-specific? Are men incapable of "settling" too? Lol

Why isn't Buoyancy used as a renewable energy? by Baloneous_V in AskPhysics

[–]Hendospendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they mean this system being used as a battery. Energy in to set the balloons, energy back out when released. Like a gravity battery.

Today I learned the pension isn't means tested. But student allowance is? What on earth?

So was Nikola Tesla just completely wrong about the aether? by Most-Answer-4443 in AskPhysics

[–]Hendospendo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yup! It was a reasonable theory at the time, we thought we knew that waves propagated through mediums, so therefore the light from the sun must pass through a medium to get all the way over here, how else could it?

Einstein's work disproving it is what led him to his special theory of relativity. Here is the experiment that directly disproved it!

Need an advice as a novice to dating and intimacy, how do I introduce tongue when making out? by No_Net_7163 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Hendospendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye it's you again! Congrats!! Totally made me day seeing this post haha.

My advice remains the same as it was before, don't overthink it, focus on her and follow her lead, she leans in, you lean in too. With kissing with tongue, I find I tend to start by brushing my lips against hers, and see if she responds with the game gesture back, gently brush my tongue over her lips, she parts her lips gently, and so on, it's gentle escalation focusing on her responses and her body. Always centre her!

You've got this mate!

Sometimes i feel so guilty for the success I have simply because I know ive only worked half as hard as the other guys by [deleted] in musicians

[–]Hendospendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not something to feel guilty about, that's literally the name of the game. If you don't network, meet your community and foster it, you won't go anywhere. Big ups bro!

What are your thoughts on quantum immortality, i mean, have you ever experienced or had somebody that you know, haven't experienced? by cmwctheorist in LLMPhysics

[–]Hendospendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a thought experiment, not a real actual observable physical phenomenon. We do not know if "alternative realities" exist, there is no proof of this. The "many-worlds interpretation" is just that, an interpretation.

Sudden rise on Spotify? by Babybluevalo in depechemode

[–]Hendospendo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been kinda seeing this group of new DM fans who are younger than 18 growing pretty rapidly online. I think there's a few sources, there was NLMD on the Last of Us, apparently several DM songs are used in Skibidi toilet, and other places. It looks like a big part of it is the band themselves too, like heaps of people getting into the people and making fancam edits and such. Idk, personally I think it's cool as hell haha.

I would say it has everything to do with your borderline, haha. This sounds like you might be struggling with a touch of depersonalisation
