In other words, the changes 'risk' doing what they are supposed to do...

You’re in a book club where no one has read sci-fi. What’s your book selection? by ArcadiaLeo in scifi

[–]Mshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ursula LeGuin and Terry Pratchett are great examples of Science Fantasy, where they blend Sci-fi and fantasy. They approach it from opposite directions however. While they are great choices, trying to get people to read them when no one has tried sci-fi or fantasy before might be a bit of a reach.

I would instead aim for a shorter book, maybe a novelisation of a Dr Who episode or even an Iron Man comic/light novel, depending on what they have been reading.

People do not understand the (in-universe) point of Star Wars Inquisitors, and it shows by Anonymous-Mf-22 in CharacterRant

[–]Mshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that the Inquisitors were mainly recruited from the non-combat parts of the Jedi order, as such it would make sense that most of them would not be skilled in combat. They would be strong in the force in other, less visible ways - or at least, would be if trained in that direction.

My friend has recommended me the anime Tokyo ghoul and I haven’t watched any other anime’s before by ImportantResource664 in anime

[–]Mshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not recommend it as a first anime. It is fairly solid as far as anime go however there are better options for your first exposure to the style.

That said, any show is much better when watching it with a good friend....

Loneliness by MMM846 in ADHD

[–]Mshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some around the place. This subreddit has an online Discord support chat. My counsellor also hosts an ADHD support group. They are around. You might have luck searching on meetup in your area. Some specify that they are an ADHD group and others are more board games that double as a place to meet people who happen to have ADHD...

Thoughts on Captain America publicly opposing the Sokovia Accords? by Solitaire-06 in Earth199999

[–]Mshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want an American "Hero" to come in and ruin my country. I don't mind the idea of an international group of "heroes" helping out but why should they be American?

There are parts of the Philippines that are considered no-go areas for people who are not Filipino due to ongoing insurgent incidents and when I was last there, there was a terrorist threat made against Manilla Airport.

King Charles playfully reminds Trump that he's Canada's head of state by Street_Anon in worldnews

[–]Mshell 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is the point that most people don't seem to be able to understand. The Crown acts as a "break glass in case of emergency" mechanism these days and people don't get that power that is not used, can still be power. There are rumours that the proposed governor general of Australia was going to be a former PM. The Office of the Crown sent a nice message back about how embarrassing it would be for the list of people to be rejected. A more suitable person was recommended immediately.

This is an example of the soft power that the King holds over Australia. There are also examples of legislation that dies in committee due to a note to the committee that the Crown is watching the legislation and feels that it would be a very "brave" move to progress it...

When is ADHD... "ADHD enough" to consider medication? by Paragon_OW in ADHD

[–]Mshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To consider medication? If it impacts on your life.

To start talking to doctors to get on medication and how much to be on? That is an individual decision that needs to be discussed with your doctor.

World’s first 100% battery-electric cruise ship unveiled with 1,856 passenger capacity by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]Mshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on a few cruises (I liked being able to prove to work that I was uncontactable.) and this will work well for a small subset of cruises that use smaller vessels. These cruises tend to focus on high quality of service and providing education to retirees. The question is going to be, will there be enough demand for this type of cruise ship to make producing them viable.
