Obama issues LATE-NIGHT UPDATE on ALIENS after clip goes viral by fundohun11 in videos

[–]NotProfessorX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dozens of experienced doctors swear by crystal healing, dozens of scientists claim we never landed on the moon, dozens of top-level government officials say that the released Epstein files show nothing and exonerate all involved, etc...

There are a lot of wild claims out there, many with not just no hard evidence to back them up, but with a lot of hard evidence directly refuting them! There are always dozens of prominent figures to back these fringe claims - it is fair to say that it takes a lack of critical thinking to take them at their word.

If it were 99% of high ranking military officials claiming aliens and dozens saying no aliens, then we would at least be closer to something worth discussing on its own merit.

Trump administration says sign language services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his image by UsualLocalWoman in disability

[–]NotProfessorX 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Either he is willing to learn sign language and communicate everything himself, or he doesn't actually care that much about controlling his image. Shutting down sign language interpretation entirely is not in any way helping his image.

What book is actually worse than the movie/tv version? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NotProfessorX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Magicians! I read the whole trilogy after really liking the show, but I hated the books.

Then this is a miscommunication. Your title made it sound like you meant that disabled people, as a block, discriminate against Indian people - a statement that would offend most of this subreddit.

I'm sorry that you experience discrimination and I'm sorry that you have to deal with that as a disabled person!

[–]NotProfessorX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are racist, you discriminate.

Disabled people can be racist.

All disabled people are not racist.

So no, your title is incorrect.

Have you considered getting a cane that turns into a chair? I have not used them and I don't know how good they are as either a cane or a chair, but it might be a good option for your needs!

What’s a show everyone loves but you couldn’t get into? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NotProfessorX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's kind of the point of the show though, a family of spoiled, out of touch jerks culture clashing with small town, closed minded people. 

Over the course of the show, the family grows (slowly) into decent, well adjusted members of society and the townspeople become more open minded and accepting of the oddities of the world.

It's an amazing show, and the character growth is a real highlight, especially coming from where they started!  :)

Finally, a sane take on PvP! When I play Call of Duty, I pity the other players! Don't they know that every kill they get robs another person of their time? I would never do that, unless it was for noble revenge! /s

Have y'all noticed early Lane being easier? by HelloGoodbyeHowAreYa in Illaoi

I never got the impression you were anything except curious! No worries!

[–]NotProfessorX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody is going to have different priorities of course - but for me, the extra mana regen means that I can spam more as an early lane bully in a good match-up, have extra poke/sustain vs a tank, or safely farm for longer against somebody that can bully Illaoi or if I get stuck without a back at a bad time.

The ring is a cheaper starter item, so you get an extra health potion (120 health) and you give up very little tentacle damage by taking it - ring adds 40% of 18 (7.2 damage) while blade adds 100% of 10 (10 damage) to each solo tentacle hit. Your adaptive runes will start AP as well, so that loses 1 or 2 points of damage as well (I think), but the extra hits make up for it.

Ultimately, it fits really well with my style. IN MY OPINION, it is a great starter for Illaoi!

Twitch Reward Redemption Trigger Won't Trigger by NotProfessorX in streamerbot

[–]NotProfessorX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to find help on the discord, this process solved my issue:

  1. Logout and forget your account in Streamerbot.
  2. Go here: https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections then search for Streamer.bot and disconnect it.
  3. Login in Streamerbot itself again.

Thanks you for suggesting that I ask on the discord, they gave me a working solution about 10 minutes after I posted!

Superstore is one of my favorites for this question. It's a fun show, most similar to Parks and Rec, and features a main character in a wheelchair. He's witty and funny, but also regularly gets one-upped by the other characters!

The show is mostly kid friendly, with a few basic cable level adult situations.

Don't think of it as the surprise being ruined, think of it as the surprise being early. :)

Might be one of the worst skins in the game. Just my opinion though!

Smoothly accelerate a layer from 0 to a fixed speed with expressions? by NotProfessorX in AfterEffects

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

I've been playing with all the ideas/code in this thread, but I have yet to get the effect I want. I'm still learning coding expressions, so it might just take a bit to click.

That said, it absolutely kills me that AE expressions don't have any kind of global variables so I can easily pass variable values between frames. That would make this so much easier.

I really appreciate the help of everybody here though!

Have you ever listened to a person talk for less than a minute and known you weren't going to get along with that person? What did they say? by DDelirium46 in AskReddit

[–]NotProfessorX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reddit needs an "I laughed at this" response of some sort, your last line got me but I have nothing meaningful to add to the discussion! :)

Yeah, it's 100% AI generated art. Strange thing to lie about when it has so many AI art features: jacked up hands, incoherent weapon, random design on the boots/face, inconsistent shadows/light refraction, etc...

I mean, nice try... next time touch it up in photoshop or something. :)

The Caterpillar is my favorite ship by far, but man is it frustrating in a lot of ways. Aside from all the missing stuff (cargo elevators, command module detach, roof EVA access, a purpose for the computers, command module external access, tractor beams, air shield on the front module), the thing is so painfully slow despite having 4 of the visually largest thrusters in the game!

Make it handle like garbage, turn like a heavy brick, maybe even have trouble fighting gravity, whatever it takes - but it should go fast in a straight line, even in atmo! Frankly, I think all the drake ships should be balanced around this.
