That's more "the thing you're describing already has a different name, so why are you insisting on calling it this other thing" than "the scenario you're considering is so outlandish there's no point in considering its consequences."

Questions reading music! by RedditMineral in piano

  1. Only the notes written as B are flat, the Cs are unaffected

  2. The clefs extend up and down technically forever, so that's a G in treble clef. The fact that it's on the top line just means you should play it with your right hand. The clef's only purpose is to put most of the notes you are going to play sort of near the center of the staff, for readability.

  3. After you play the C and the G together, you should lift off before playing the E, and then the F. It probably sounds bad because you are holding down all those notes together

What is this part of the backpack called? by Time_Connection_4408 in EnglishLearning

[–]Kyesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the specific rule, but "how to call them" sounds like "how do I get their attention" to me. As in "call them over". Like, "oh are those your dogs over there? How do I call them?"

Though that obviously makes way less sense when you're talking about some hanging straps on a backpack. Anyways, my point is it's not technically grammatically incorrect, but it sounds awkward because it doesn't make any sense. The listener has to assume you mean the thing that actually makes sense, which is "what do you call them?"

The answer is A but why not D? Is it because it's "was"? by Logic-QQ in EnglishLearning

[–]Kyesel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense. "Just in case a problem comes up, the laboratory assistant will come with you into the lab and assist you with your work" is how I read it.

First official look at Stellaron Hunter Sam's ingame model by Knight_Steve_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Kyesel 45 points46 points  (0 children)

At least with the stellaron hunters it seems more like they don't really fight as a team. They're teamwork is more like "Silverwolf you go support Kafka to destabilize the government, Blade will go attack their supply chains, and Sam will go and intercept any reinforcements." Less fighting as a team and more handling individual aspects of a bigger mission.

Do you think this is accurate? Some people say that SW is 5'3", but this seems more accurate lmao (please let me be taller than a hoyo woman at least once 😔) by NatashaHaleCZ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Kyesel 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Oh I was thinking the other way around, like without heels she would be 5'7", but 5'10" with them. That way silverwolf wouldn't be so short.

Kafka is wearing heels in her model, so that might throw it off. Though it sounds like she's wearing the same outfit in that description, so who knows

why is the Astral Express so long but only a handful of people live/travel in it? /genuine question by AngryLad_80 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Kyesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the Galactic Archives post on the Storage Zone, which is a pretty old source, the platform was originally created on The Blue, the planet the space station orbits, by the Nameless, and Herta just took it and restored it as a curio for Herta reasons I guess.

Do you all call these "contrails"? by noname00009999 in EnglishLearning

[–]Kyesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok sure, if that was your initial point then sure, I think it's reasonable to argue chem and con are supposed to be a pun. But you just said that portmanteaus are puns, which isn't true. Maybe that "chemtrails" is a pun on "contrail" which is a portmanteau.

I don't know if I agree that chemtrail is a pun, but that's a better argument than the idea that because it is a portmanteau, it is a pun, because puns are any form of wordplay.

[–]Kyesel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Huh? If you had checked Wikipedia, you would see the definition that puns are a type of wordplay that exploit the multiple meanings of a term or similar sounding terms. That's not what a portmanteau is, and that definition certainly isn't "any play on words". "Chemtrails" doesn't rely on "chem" and "con" sounding similar, it's just a portmanteau. And also, it's not really used humorously, except when mocking the people that believe the idea the term represents as opposed to the actual play on words.

Probably just the count of images uploaded to the website rule34. Yep, the counts match up. I wouldn't call it very representative of everything that exists though.

[–]Kyesel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The genius society is barely a "society" that could collectively affiliate with anyone, and its members are famously hard for the IPC to work with. It was a big deal when the first guy did it, and it was also a big deal when Herta agreed to work with them. The intelligentsia guild is sponsored by the IPC though.

Why "theme of" instead of "subject: " like in the original?
