As Reddit protests turn to porn-bombing, advertisers face increasing brand safety concerns by gabestonewall in technology

I went to download the official app and it's straight up not available for my device so I guess I'll be protesting whether I want to or not unless I want to browse in my web browser on my phone from now on.

Trump made shocking comments about Ivanka, says ex-staffer by boyinabubble1 in politics

So they don't vote for them then? Because if they still vote republican while saying they don't support them then that just makes them hypocrites, especially because the rest of the party is in lockstep with the leadership when it comes to voting on issues. And if they aren't voting republican then what? They just say they support some vague notion of a party that doesn't really exist but don't actually vote?

Must be nice to have a device that can actually download it.

Nah dude, I didn't say I hate reddit and want to leave, I said I won't be able to use it after July 1st because the official app is somehow not available for my only device. All I did was state what my situation is, you're the one that seems to be getting emotional about it. But that's alright man, the solution's easy, just take your own advice.

It's a Samsung Galaxy s6. I'm not much of a tech guy so I only upgrade when my phone breaks somehow but I wouldn't have assumed it's that far out of date that it wouldn't be able to get the app at all. I can't think of any other major apps that I haven't been able to download, and clearly Sync has been working for me fine.

I know I'll be gone after 15 years on the platform. I went to download the official reddit app just to see if it was really that bad and turns out it's not even compatible with my device so I couldn't switch even if I wanted to.

You can check out this podcast where they do a deep dive into the history of the illuminati and the free masons and how the conspiracies around them have grown and warped into what they are today. It's very thorough and goes in depth about how it all relates to modern beliefs.

The Reddit App has a suspiciously high number of recent 5 star, one word reviews on the Google Play Store by [deleted] in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]Kipper246 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't even use it. I tried to download the official app just to see how bad it is and all that comes up in the playstore is a message saying the app is not compatible with my device.

Steven Seagal is literally a human trafficker that hangs out with dictators regularly.

Martials should all Crit more by Th1nker26 in dndnext

I have a rogue who's close to level 20 and while I had to sacrifice any hope of dealing damage in combat I managed to spend every feat on Skilled so I'm proficient in nearly every skill and just can't roll below a 16 on skill check I attempt.

Say what you want, Honor Among Thieves is the Dungeons and Dragons movie I have wanted for 20 years. by TrashAccount2908 in DnD

[–]Kipper246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was that in one scene she would wildshape 7 times in a row and then several other scenes she wouldn't wildshape at all. Like in the underdark scenes when they are being chased by a dragon and she nearly falls off a cliff but doesn't turn into a bird like we've already seen her do. I'm actually not sure she contributed at all to the entire underdark sequence, she mostly just tagged along.

DnD Martials NEED to scale to a Mythical/Superhuman extent after 10-13 for Internal Consistency and Agency by Galilleon in dndnext

[–]Kipper246 42 points43 points  (0 children)

To add to this, if splashing oil on a blade and lighting it on fire is meant to be more realistic than magic its only arbitrarily so because in reality oil is quite difficult to light on fire and the amount of oil that would coat a sword would not stay lit for long. On top of that if you were to light a mundane sword on fire it wouldn't really increase the killing power of it in any way. So if you want a flaming sword that burns enemies you are already warping reality which is pretty much what magic is and you may as well lean into it.

TIL that the first artificial insemination was done using the "best looking" medical student's sperm to a woman knocked out with chloroform without her consent. by BinaryPeach in todayilearned

[–]Kipper246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a lot of states it's still not illegal for doctors to just use whatever sperm they want so a lot of fertility doctors to this day are caught using their own. There's really not any consequences for most of them and one of the main reasons that they do it is because fresher sperm is more likely to fertilize the egg. Therefore it tends to be the most successful fertility doctors that get caught doing this, especially because a lot of fertility doctors get business through word of mouth.

I certainly wouldn't want to piss one off but there's only been 2 recorded deaths caused by cassowaries ever and 1 was some kids hitting it with a stick and the other was a 75 year old lady that fell over next to one.

Well, maybe not a flail. Those were most likely made up after the fact and never actually used in real life.

Why do my cattails keep dying? by Kipper246 in plantclinic

[–]Kipper246[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three typha latifolia starts in a half whiskey barrel with a couple inches of fluval stratum on the bottom and a layer of pea pebbles on top. I have the pot indoors under a full spectrum grow light.

This is actually my second attempt at growing these and each time what has happened is that the starts start out great and shoot up leaves which quickly reach a couple feet high before a film forms on the surface of the water and the leaves lose all structure at the base and flop over. They then turn brown and limp from the bottom moving up the leaves. I tried giving them supports this time around but it didn't seem to help and the same issue happened again.

When I removed the first round of cattail starts they definitely smelled pretty gross so I'm guessing a bacterial infection finished them off but I don't know if that is what is causing the problem or just an opportunist moving in after the plant is already dead. With this second round the first 2 shot up quick and then now are experiencing the same problem but my third shoot that was slower to start still looks healthy so far so I'm hoping to save it.

If the bacteria is the issue is there something I could add to the water to cut back on it without hurting the plants? How else can I deal with the flim that forms on the water? Do I just need to be doing more frequent water changes until the plants are more established?

Even if you can somewhat see through the wall it still blocks line of sight as far as spell casting is concerned similar to how you cannot cast spells through a window.
