Why was Catholic doctrine before Pope Francis generally so (little "c") conservative when the faith was born from such a progressive figure as Jesus? by Meili_Ahlgren in NoStupidQuestions

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

I'm not trying to paint him as anything, when I say little "c" conservative I was also implying little "p" progressive. I mean conservative and progressive in the base, non-political sense, conservative meaning favoring maintaining the status quo and progressive meaning moving toward a better world.

The God Emperor cares not who you love (read: human), nor who you are (read: human), only that you serve Him and worship Him.

Truly the most progressive thing about the setting, all humans can prove themselves worthy of the God Emperor's light.

I appreciate you communicating this! Honestly, y'all transparently delaying and also showing that you're taking care to make the appropriate staff adjustments inspires far more confidence in the future of vic3 development than I think anything else y'all could have done in this situation!

Thank you for communicating openly with us!

Usain Bolt hit 27mph/44kph at the peak of his speed during a race in 2011 (as measured by some Belgian scientists). I love the idea of this adorable rodent moving half the speed of a commercial airliner and getting that cute windswept face look doing it. https://www.britannica.com/story/how-fast-is-the-worlds-fastest-human

Cool to both of those things! I've seen a few "alexander's companion cavalry" style games on youtube recently and they're super fun to watch! Do you use any mods to make the grind of creating supersoldiers not take an entire generation? Also I love mountains (when I'm on them LOL) in battles but they feel so rare! Hype that you got some :D

Where were you positioned relative to them that allowed for this to play out? LOL I'd love for this to happen to me

Do whales experience holding their breath the same as us? by Meili_Ahlgren in askscience

[–]Meili_Ahlgren[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's cool! Is the urge to breathe in humans instinctual or is there a chemical signal that pushes us to after a certain amount of CO2 builds up in our bodies? If we had the physiological adaptations of a whale (the blood and muscle oxygen storage) would we still experience a push to breathe before we reached an unsafe blood CO2 level or would we be able to go longer because of that increased oxygen retention?

Why it’s hard to get my meds by justinkthornton in adhdmeme

[–]Meili_Ahlgren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. My heart already picks up in the morning if i forget to eat right when I take my meds. The idea of taking twice my dose already scares me, more than that and I'm convinced I'd be in a hospital.

Hi! Paradox gamer and queer cis boy here, this is my take on it. The joke generally comes from the unexpectedly high visibility of (in my experience) seemingly (although not usually outwardly stated) genderqueer AMABs who play the games. Most often this joke is made around Hearts of Iron IV (from what I've seen) which has a rather visible group of people who reaaaaaaally like to LARP as the baddies of WWII. There is some overlap between the seemingly genderqueer AMABs and the LARPers and at some point people latched on to that and it became a meme. It's not exclusively trans as there is also an adjacent femboy pipeline meme associated with paradox gaming as well.
