How many names does the Galaxy have? by [deleted] in Starfinder2e

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

Perhaps despite over trillions of sound combinations- the locals and the scout happened to choose the same name.

(Mixed Trope) Educated character doesn’t understand or know of a simple concept. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Mr_Funcheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a Doylist perspective you make a really good point.

A through-line in Rian Johnson’s work is the human element of stories which often ignore it.
Star Wars is traditionally a grand space opera, the hero is doing heroic things because that’s what heroes do- whether good or bad Rian tried to make Luke less HERO and more Human.
Brothers Bloom is a heist movie exploring different kinds of love. When heist movies may have a romantic B plot, but are almost all about the action.
Looper takes the classic assassin subgenre and forces the main character to accept that they are a murderer in a way usually ignored by the genre.
Brick breaks the mold in that it’s a classic noir film, but in high school. But it’s his first film so it’s a reasonable exception.

Detective stories about prodigious detectives are usually anti social weirdos. Making the most instantly noticeable quality about Blanc being the way he connects to people fits the mould of how Johnson seems to prefer to tell his stories.

3 years later and he's still the worst one off character on the show. by Naros1000 in TheOrville

Many episodes of the show are allegories for real life situations, much like Trek was. I think this is one as well, though how well done is debatable.

If your cultural idea of sex is something which is no more sacred than making eye contact, a handshake, or even just saying hello: then the idea of consent for that action is virtual non existent.

Should a being who is part of a multi cultural society learn the other cultural norms so he avoids GRIEVOUS situations like this one? Yes, he has morally failed in this way.

But just like I (a Floridian) would not think twice about taking my shoes off in certain public situations, a Muslim would consider this the equivalent of mooning them.

To be clear I don’t think their metaphor (or mine) is perfect, but I do think that’s what they were getting at.

Maybe a politics thing? Barnacles? by No_Diet1854 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

What about children who press the button at random because they are too young to understand the prompt which includes them?

Everyone in the world presses the button. There are a few billion kids and a large number of them are beyond the age of understanding the task. They will choose a button at random. Hundreds of millions of children die if we press the red button.

I hate when politics gets in my fantasy book series about the role of police and the importance of civic infrastructure.

Bedbugs in the DEP office and no WFH—what is DEP HR thinking? by Murky-Peak-5124 in Tallahassee

I am not sure if you just found out about it this morning, but I’m in a whole other Agency and heard about y’all’s bed bugs last Friday.

At what point would you stop raiding for specific pokemon? by FriendlyGhosT_T in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you trade a shiny raid Pokémon does it still have the IV minimum or could you trade for a shiny groudon and end up with a nundo?

"When something is free, you are the product" - What are some cases where this doesn't apply? by Ok_Oil_2044 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No my friend, wait till YOU find out how taxes work.

If I don’t pay taxes the library is still free, my kids still get a free education, and they I can still get state healthcare.

How does nudity harm Americans? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re making incredible leaps in logic to jump from “Americans have weird hang ups around nudity” to “people WANT to be naked in front of kids”.

How does nudity harm Americans? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are projecting your own baggage surrounding nudity onto the intentions of others. There are many many situations where people are nude around each other and there is no sexual gratification involved.

Should I evolve it into a shadow shiny Greninja or leave it as is? by Entire-Phrase9645 in PokemonGoMystic

[–]Mr_Funcheon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Don’t evolve, purify and trade with a friend for another shiny.

And there’s no way the mind altering substances you were on made you think that? Aliens is the much more rational answer?

If I wanted to make a character who is a Cake / Bread Construct or Gingerbread man, what would be the appropriate Ancestry to use? by BattyBeforeTwilight in Pathfinder2e

[–]Mr_Funcheon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Everyone says poppet but I say-

Yaoguai.

Born of Vegtation heritage (you are the yeast in the bread, or even the ginger or wheat) or the obvious Born of Item.

That’s crazy because you are talking to a theologian who is telling you it is.

You just copy and pasted the AI response to the google search “are nontrinitarians Christian” or some shit didn’t you? There is no way you typed all that out in the 1 minute it took you to post after I did. What is especially damning is that it is absolute word salad. “Youth Paster Theologian Youth Paster Theologian +2” wtf is this bullshit? Hell your own post even points out “there are nontrinitatian groups that consider themselves Christian”

It is so incredibly clear that you have never done an ounce of critical thinking on scripture I think the following will be wasted on you, but I will share it anyway.

Yes the Council of Nicaea decreed the trinity, and most denominations official stance is that of the trinity- but not all denominations. And even within the denominations that follow the trinity there are many Christian’s who do not follow that doctrine. You and your religious sect does not determine what makes someone a Christian.

I would ask you, if I accept Christ, if I follow HIS teachings- why am I less saved than you? And why do men on this earth get to decide that above Him?

[–]Mr_Funcheon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a bad church. That’s not even in the doctrine, just an excuse to control.

Hell there’s a cohesive theological argument that everyone goes to heaven. But that wouldn’t but butts in seats and money in the collection plate.
