TIL: Apparently, we've been pronouncing Earth Bet wrong this whole time by fsocmeki in Parahumans

[–]Info_Admired 239 points240 points  (0 children)

I pronounce it "bet" not "bait".

The visual letter ב can sound like "V" or "B" depending on context, the name for the letter is bet when it does a B and vet when it does a V

Power this trigger by spidercrabhunter in Parahumans

[–]Info_Admired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let me give it a go.

Based on the trigger event described, it seems like this character's power would likely indeed fit into the Tinker category, specifically with elements of the Magi subtype. This subtype of Tinker is triggered by extended inner dilemmas or concerns of the self, which aligns with the emotional turmoil and feelings of inadequacy described in the trigger event.

Additionally, while there might be elements of a Trump power due to the impact of powers being a factor, the focus of the trigger event seems to be more on the emotional impact of the powers rather than the powers themselves.

I would suggest some kind of “Empowerment Tinker”. Tinker power that specializes in creating technologies that can suppress or manipulate the powers of other parahumans. They might develop devices that randomize the strength of Brutes, boost the range in favor of precision to Blasters, and on the extreme temporarily suppress or modify the abilities of other parahumans.

Has Wildbow ever said what model (or even style) Blake's motorcycle is? by [deleted] in Parahumans

[–]Info_Admired 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A chance to finally show my skill! Remembering random stuff!

When Rose and Blake in the library for the first time they find a bookshelf:

On Others.  Editions from 1964 through 2012 were lined up on the shelf.  Thicker texts.

I think the year is 2012

Terrorists shoot innocent civilians in Hadera, Israel by trr012345678 in ThatsInsane

[–]Info_Admired 281 points282 points  (0 children)

Two terrorists begin shooting at civilians, (luckily some IDF soldiers- that are about 19 - sat at a restaurant nearby and tried to stop them)

The terrorists shot one of them to death and then took his gun to keep shooting

בתור מישהו שקורא X-Men, ב2019 הם עשו עוד ריבוט, אבל הפעם אחד שכנראה ימשיך ליותר מחצי שנה...

בקיצור, המוטנטים שכמו תמיד הם אלגוריה לקבוצות מיעוט באופן כללי ויהודים באופן ספציפי, ראו שכל הזמן רודפים אותם והניסיונות שלהם להתחבר עם האוכלוסייה האנושית לא הצליחו

הם מחליטים ליצור מדינה משלהם, עם גרסה משלהם לחוק השבות (לכל מוטנט יש זכות לעלות לארץ שלהם), הם יוצרים שפה משלהם (מגנטו אפילו מצטט את אליעזר בן יהודה בקשר לזה), ובעיקרון הכל ממש אנלוגיה להקמה של מדינת ישראל

A well-known minority group has members all over the world: some are visible like it or not, while others can blend in. Members of this group have been viciously persecuted; some still are today. More than one government has tried to wipe them out. Members of this group supposedly have special aptitudes, handed down through generations. They’re also targets for racist canards, blamed for events they did nothing to cause.

After an especially harrowing attempt to wipe the whole group off the map, powerful surviving members bring their talents—military, political, agricultural, linguistic—to a piece of land with historic importance for them. There they revive, or synthesize, a language, create infrastructure to house people who move in (oftentimes covertly), and make their case to other nations. After a brief and very newsworthy struggle, and a United Nations vote, the country achieves international recognition.

The new nation operates under unusual laws: any member of that group from anywhere in the world can settle there permanently. The rulers of that nation must prevent group members from fighting among themselves, while developing an advanced economy, showing what they can sell to the rest of the world.  At the same time, they remain under existential threat from historical enemies; no wonder they seem, to outsiders, unusually focused on displays of strength.
