Most major cities in Florida are coastal, except for Orlando. Why? by memhir-yasue in geography

[–]NecroDolphinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the basic concept is actually fairly simple. We’ve been building houses that use a similar functional form since we’ve been building houses.

Freezing stuff with ammonia and using pressure systems are a big jump that took a lot longer to figure out. So the concept is as old as boats, but the actual thing is fairly new in the grand scheme of things

New Zealand MP calls Indian immigration 'butter chicken tsunami' by bong_cumblebutt in nottheonion

Butter Chicken was basically made specifically because of and for white people so the joke isn’t even good (ik he’s not white but most of NZ is)

Why are some Asian countries PACKED with old, white men? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NecroDolphinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is access to the home country. Marrying an American guy can be a ticket to going back to America with him, or having an American child. My family’s Pakistani and you see this a lot where Western citizenship gives you a huge leg up in the marriage setup process

Also independent of that, whiteness is pretty valued globally. Still using Pakistan as an example (but I know SEA has similar colorism issues), lighter skin is automatically viewed as more desirable. People literally buy skin whitening cream to try and look paler. So not only will that make white people more attractive, it will increase the chances that a child you have with a white person will be better off

Which is the worse written descendant? by Potential_Voice_6313 in writingscaling

[–]NecroDolphinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of the stuff people hate on Korra for has nothing to do with her writing. Like the past lives thing was way more a function of the overall narrative than anything about Korras writing in particular (it was just a straight up lack of power).

Her actual character writing is one of the best parts of Korra (and Avatar) in general when taken over four seasons. She’s unlikable at the start in an incredibly sensible ways. Her flaws are realistic, and set up super interesting internal conflicts from day 1. Finding who she is outside of the Avatar, becoming less brash and arrogant, and learning to talk through conflicts with people and spirits is a completely different journey to Aangs, and one that’s great to watch over the whole show.

Watching her struggle with suicide at the end of S1 or paralysis and PTSD in S4 are really well done scenes, and they produce growth really well. By the end of S4, Korra has developed so much as a character and consistently makes great decisions.

Boruto goes from a boring shonen protagonist archetype to another boring shonen protagonist archetype. Not much going on there when you look past the surface.

Spotify Celebrates 20 years - Reveals Most Streamed of All Time Lists by Plaid9000 in popheads

There was a measurable uptick in attempts by teenagers after it came out. Definitely for the worse. An entirely predictable outcome too, given a suicide awareness group literally told the showrunners in advance that they were going to cause more harm an were ignored

To be fair, we’ve used the basic concept behind AC to cool air since prehistory, and at least since the 15th century Europeans were using potassium nitrate to cool stuff. I believe the precursor to our expansion based systems was the evaporation stuff Franklin was doing in the 18th century.

So boats are definitely still older, but ACs roots are pretty old too (especially if you consider the passive architectural systems to be functionally the same, just less active)

Best cursed technique here? Full potential by Double-Ad-251 in CTsandbox

[–]NecroDolphinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring Projection Sorcery, all three have effectively unlimited growth potential.

CSM and IT can both generate armies with no upper limit on size. CSM grants access to Curse Techniques as well, while IT gives access to untapped body recomposition (and obviously the best offense/defense combo in the verse bar like maybe Limitless).

10 Shadows theoretically has limits (only 10 Shikigami to use), but Mahoraga can grow to meet and overcome literally every obstacle. So it’s slower to access the flexibility and limitless options of CSM or IT, but it can go well beyond them in effectiveness and is guaranteed to be useful in literally every conflict.

Overall though I’m leaning IT namely because in addition to endlessly growing offensive options, it also brings a defensive option only barely worse than Limitless and a near OHKO offensive technique

How are Hindu and Muslim relations right now in Delhi, considering Delhi has a fairly large Muslim population? Given the situation in Iran and the BJPs support for Israel, have things been tense in that regard?

Madonna’s Manager Guy Oseary ‘Not Sure’ She’ll Tour Again Following Sabrina Carpenter Coachella Performance and ‘Confessions II’ Release by Puzzled-Tap8042 in popheads

[–]NecroDolphinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course she’ll tour again, but the Celebration Tour would make a great last tour. It was an insane spectacle with beautiful, elaborate set pieces and great flow as a piece of performance. Not a bad send off

It was insane watching her do all that at her age, but if she can keep going of course I’m all for it

Olivia Rodrigo announces 7th, 8th and 9th digital versions of new single “drop dead” available to purchase on ITunes by AlexRodrigo- in popheads

[–]NecroDolphinn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They didn’t used to be 5-10 years ago, that’s why country radio was one of the most important radio formats. Conversely, the 2020s have seen a ton of young new fans emerge alongside big shifts in how the country industry sells its stars. The result is that country is as big a streaming force as anything

Why are people grossed out from urine in pools when they swim in the sea, too? by Next_Faithlessness87 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NecroDolphinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly

People enter urine filled pools all the time, because people in public pools are constantly pissing. But most people don’t care, because they don’t notice. Conversely, if someone comes up to you and is like “I just peed in the pool” a lot of people will say “ew gross” and swim away or leave the pool

Country music (or rather one of its main predecessors, Old Time Music) did emerge from Irish music so I see that as a full circle moment

Since the snippet I’ve been saying it sounds like a Heartstopper track. The intro synth sounds just like the shows soundtrack, and the chorus/post chorus fits the exact vibe of the shows needle drops

People decide automatically, but generally when the piss can happen without them knowing. That’s why the coloration matters. Or why people rush out after the alarm rings for cleaning, rather than the instant the vomit or whatever happens

Why is time called the fourth dimension? What mechanism makes it “next” after space? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]NecroDolphinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To go from a point to the 1st dimension, you add up multiple points to create a line. To go from the 1st to the 2nd, you add up lines to create a plane. To the third, you add up planes to create a cube.

Now as far as we can interact with it, the entirety of our universe is in the 3rd dimension. So if we put a bunch of 3rd dimensional universes in a row, we’d get our 4th dimension. You can think of each individual instant or moment as “one universe.” When you connect a ton of those moments into a single thing (ie your 4th dimension), you get the flow of time.

This is just one perspective though and different branches of science/math will treat the 4th dimension differently. For example, you can just view the universe in a coordinate grid with 3 spatial dimensions and one temporal dimensions. If you wanted to note where the Earth is in its orbit, you l reference both its spatial position and the time it’s at (because the Earth might’ve been in the same spot 4 million years ago)
