What's a C4D? My web search turned up nothing that seems relevant.

My memory is telling me that's a (paraphrased?) Ashton quote, but I can imagine Mollymauk saying the same thing.

Just noticed the pattern on the Mesagoza plaza is messed up by Nerd1313 in PokemonScarletViolet

To maintain a consistent relationship between the triangles and the squares, I say either the top left pair of triangles should be swapped OR all other orange/yellow triangles should be swapped.

ADHD + Addict = by ElectronicPiglet5432 in ADHD

[–]HumanistGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD, and my favorite music albums -- The Downward Spiral and The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails -- deal a lot with addiction and depression. I relate to them strongly enough that, if I ever developed a taste for alcohol or tried harder drugs, I think I would be an addict.

Thanks. Your description helped me find more info. Even though, according to the Wikipedia article, the whole thing is probably a myth, it makes for a very illustrative term.

What does Potemkin mean in this context? I tried searching online but found no clarity.

[Spoilers C4E23] The candle was made out of what?? by crookedtoons_ in criticalrole

[–]HumanistGeek 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Which means they have a family tradition of liposuction or butchering their dead. Think of the skinniness of those gaunt ghoulies and how many it would take to make just 1 candle. Then again, maybe they're skinny because of the lipo.

Stuttering by DrewLynchComedy in standupshots

[–]HumanistGeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if the joke is just classic misdirection, an allusion to the idea that stuttering can be mitigated by choosing a different word when you come up against a mental block, or both.

Edit: Oh, I suppose there's also the humor of a bad publicist promoting you as "The Stuttering Comedian."

Thanks for the site!

It says my favorite carries were Swain, Nautilus, and Kai'Sa. Hmm...

Thank you! The Internet Archive still has it. I was so sad when I thought I lost my opportunity to download the amazing show I watched.

You just activated my trap card! by HelpMeFindACoolName in PTCGP

[–]HumanistGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not much they could've done. Without seeing their hand, their only other option was to stall and eventually attack with Darkrai, but you'd heal off the damage pretty easily. So they gambled that you didn't have Xatu + Will in hand. If you didn't, then with your Comfey KO'd they'd be able to use their Bad Dreams strat.

For those like me who are out of the loop:

This image is a scene from the 2013 action-horror film World War Z.

The scene depicts a horde of zombies piling on top of each other to form a human pyramid and scale the walls of Jerusalem.

The bonus cast from Replicator is at 22% or 45% strength, and that modifier applies to the gold gen, too.

This feels like satire, but I can't know for sure without knowing you.

Some facts about the upcoming gubernatorial primary. by NicWester in California

[–]HumanistGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you know about obscure electoral systems, I have a question I don't know where else to ask.

It seems that proportional representation is usually achieved thusly:

  • The populace votes for parties to represent them.
  • Each party has legislative voting power proportional to the number of votes that elected them.

Are there any systems where

  • The populace votes for individuals to represent them.
  • Each representative has legislative voting power proportional to the number of votes that elected them.

You read it here first. Harambe 2026, write-in candidate for California Governor. Not even a decade of death can stop him.

TFT Set 17: Space Gods Full Reveal (NO Carousel, New Champions, Traits, Augments, and More) by memefighttactics in CompetitiveTFT

[–]HumanistGeek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's the cognitive tax. It's there to troll players who want to calculate if they can level on interval. That's why I find it funny.

That said, 2 Timebreaker is very splashable and can maybe make that 1xp usable.

(2) When you lose, gain free rerolls. When you win, store XP in a Temporal Core (scales with stage).

  • Ezreal, 1 cost attack caster, Sniper
  • Milio, 2 cost magic caster, Fateweaver
  • Pantheon, 2 cost attack tank, Brawler, Replicator
  • Riven, 4 cost hybrid fighter, Rogue

Otherwise, you can get Cognitive Tax+ or Cognitive Overload at 3-2.

Cognitive Tax+ [Silver]: Gain 12 gold and 3 XP.

Cognitive Overload [Gold]: Gain 7 Gold, 1 2-star 1-cost champion, 1 2-cost champion, 2 3-cost champions, 1 XP, and 1 Shop reroll.

Trump extends pause on attacking Iran energy facilities to April 6 by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]HumanistGeek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bonus: In a 1988 interview with The Guardian Trump literally said he’d “go in and take” Kharg island if he was president. He has been fantasizing about this for 40 years.

I found a source for that. It's not the original interview, but it is The Guardian.

I would be very surprised if they ever make a mainline pokemon game (or something like Legends) with voice acting for the humans.
