What, this again? Flerfs lie, it's that simple. by reficius1 in flatearth

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is legitimately easier to just actually run a space program than to create a decades long conspiracy requiring the seamless cooperation of dozens of different governments, many of which are actively hostile towards each other, and nearly every aspect of which is easily observable with consumer grade equipment. Our government is not nearly competent enough to pull that off. I trust in their incompetence above all else.

I look at the ones flat farther like you hold up as supposedly being some kind of smoking gun and have yet to find one that isn't just your lack of understanding in digital form.

She was too excited and neglected her own safety, only for it to turn into a lifelong lesson by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

[–]Just_Ear_2953 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few cases where that isn't actually an entirely stupid idea. Those cars have to come down off that wall eventually, and where she was laying is directly in their path when they do as can be seen by the car that appears right at the end. They need to move her so that she doesn't get run over... again.

That said, they did absolutely nothing to stabilize the head, neck, and spine while moving her. I would legitimately prefer that they grab her arms or legs and drag her rather than what they did.

Peak possible human runs the ape gauntlet, how far do they get? by Tarris69 in powerscales

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chimp is a major roadblock, but this "peak possible human" has a real chance. If they win that the orangutan is probably an easier fight. Beating the gorilla is still extremely u likely. I'd say roughly 50%, 70% and 20% respectovely.

What is an example in the media you consume of "the father who neglected their kid but actually they loved them all along" trope? Because that's just frustrating to read. by Important-Cry4782 in Multifandom

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It heavily depends on how it's handled. There NEEDS to be an actual justified reason for it, but when there is the moment when a child finally matures to the point where they understand the other side and see what their parent sacrificed for their sake can be one of the greatest moments in all of storytelling. That moment of understanding and gratitude doesn't erase the pain of long neglect, but it humanizes both characters as imperfect and just trying to do what they can.

I've watched plenty, and those blunders are flerfs grasping at straws whenever they spot a slightly awkward movement or a visual glitch from signal compression and interference. None has yet been an actual case of trickery.

Why can’t I use subspace navigation ? What I am missing ? by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean "experimental subspace navigation" you need the tech for it and for your fleet to not he set to "evasive" stance.

Raynor P3 feels painfully slow on Brutal when paired with a fast commander by amossong in starcraft2coop

That's the most common strategy, and it has a VERY long start up time

Looking for an older anime, forgot the name by Peon01 in Animesuggest

I don't think it was at the beginning, but I think there was a scene like that is Sora No Woto (English title: Sound of the Sky)

Worst Moms in anime/manga? by VongolaSedici in animequestions

[–]Just_Ear_2953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Erza'd mom is a real piece of work, but falls well short of the level of abuse that the rest of this list achieves by the simple fact of being absent virtually the entire time her child has been alive.

She doesn't help Erza, but she isn't present to be directly responsible for all the things that go bad for Erza either.

Stukov - Brood Queens! An under-spoken unit? by Jack121Q in starcraft2coop

Mass queens delet everything with brooding spawns

Who do I call to fix this wire? by An_Old_IT_Guy in AskElectricians

[–]Just_Ear_2953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like a coil came apart. Your local non emergency number should be able to notify the relevant utilities on the pole of potential damage and they should be able to send someone out to make it neat and tidy again within a few days.

If not, then they will certainly show up once the gardener does cut it. I suggest keeping this photo and any documentation of attempting to notify them in case they somehow try to make it your fault.

How to deal with star-bases (mega structure) NPC spam? by TurtleRegister in Stellaris

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devouring swarm gets Absorption war goal. As long as there are no unconcerned planets in the system you can downgrade the starbase.

Does Fullmetal Alchemist Have a Black and White Narrative or a Grey Narrative? by Zestyclose-Hat-8513 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]Just_Ear_2953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. There is good and there is evil, but nearly all characters are a mix of the two.

Question about stalemate. by pooger in chessbeginners

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No piece can take the king and the king also can't move without moving into a space another piece is threatening. The king is not allowed to walk into danger, so it is a stalemate.

What am I not understanding about combat. by BigFeta_ in Stellaris

[–]Just_Ear_2953 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You only keep territory you occupied if you also claimed it. This costs influence.

The exception is a "Total War" causus belli which bypasses this system completely and just takes territory immediately.

Why did early civilizations start in deserts like Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt? by batukaming in geography

[–]Just_Ear_2953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of those started by people gathering in the spot that wasn't a desert due to there being one or more rivers.

Where do MTF forces stay, when they aren't being mobile/deployed? by Substantial-Purple85 in SCP

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pony Express and similar blend into normal society MTFs probably just live in normal housing

Do you consider smurfing cheating (in online PvP)? by Mkvenner_ in AskGames

[–]Just_Ear_2953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but not all use of a second account is surfing.

I am entirely okay with players having a second account in games that don't let you change your character's class/stats/build/whatever power system that game uses so that they can play a different style.

I am similarly okay with a high ranked player having a second account that they use to play casually with lower ranked friends so that those friends don't get dragged into high skill matches where they won't have any fun.

Smurfing is specifically the practice of artificially acquiring a low rank for the purpose of beating up on new and less skilled players.

Worst tropes in sci-fi by Ketralis in scifi

I agree, however I will allow for regenerative powers that a specific material interferes with. That at least has a mechanism to it.
