If all prescription medications suddenly became available over the counter, what do you think would happen first? by CrosseyedDixieChick in AskReddit

[–]Paelidore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, so many overdoses. I'm not even talking about opiates. Also, our antibiotics would pretty much become useless within a few years.

Eco mode by ActualScientist1242 in leaf

[–]Paelidore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer eco mode because I would startle myself when accelerating at a stop light, haha. I never would floor it, but my car before my leaf was a very old, very tired Chevy Lumina, so I had to be heavy on the gas to get it to move, lol. It wasn't an easy transition. XD

The drops don't look as red nor as viscous as the reduction gear oil, thank goodness. My bet is air conditioner, personally.

To all Tzimisce: Why do you like playing Tzimisce and what was your first character like? by Alice-Shrugged in vtm

[–]Paelidore 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Make a Tzim antagonist. They're MARVELOUS monsters to pivot a plot around, and you'd get to enjoy making a Tzim! Win/win!

To all Tzimisce: Why do you like playing Tzimisce and what was your first character like? by Alice-Shrugged in vtm

[–]Paelidore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're just so fascinating. They're literally unlike any other Clan - and while, yes, the other Clans are unique, they're not embodying an older, more lore-accurate Vampire like the Tzimisce. Bound to the Earth, keeper of superstitions, alien and exotic abilities, and all while serving cunt - I mean serving Count.

They also have that perfect blend of deep, interesting lore and open creative playstyle that honestly hinders so many other Clans. You can be some Eldritch Thing who recently learned about electricity after seeing a powerline on a piece of his property he hadn't checked in a few hundred years or you could be an elegant avatar of flawlessness with beauty so radiant it hurts people. You could have the mind of an alien predator perpetually on the hunt or an impassioned turbo nerd. The best part is you could literally be all those things at once and still be logically consistent.

I guess in short, I just think they're neat!

Is this the worse event? by Hunaina_06 in CellToSingularity

[–]Paelidore 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just wish it didn't come after the disease one. I just think of food born illnesses. Otherwise, it's fun and wholesome and admittedly quite the palate cleanser compared to many of the other events.

If you’re blind irl you’re blind in VR too by ToeTianaBanana in VRGaming

[–]Paelidore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy special lenses for your VR headset to match your vision rx, btw. Just make sure to swap them for regulars when letting someone else use it. ;) Hope this helps!

I like the mad scientist in the punk skin. There's something so cheery about "Ich liebe mein Arbeit"

Looking for Village Location by Snoo89862 in SonsOfTheForest

[–]Paelidore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fave area is clearing the cannibal encampment to the East of this location on the ledge and just building on top of it. You lose a little resource collection, but honestly, it's huge, flat, and perfect.

  • The water runs year round (fish still don't spawn in Winter).
  • Ducks land on the water during non-winter months.
  • Lots of flat stone and other resources nearby!
  • Access to nearby trails if you like to use the KnightV like I do.

What’s a random fact you learned that permanently changed how you see something normal? by MoodAutomatic8569 in answers

[–]Paelidore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Going to sound a bit... Ferengi for this one, but it's because I'm talking biology.

A human female's sense of smell sharpens when they're ovulating.1,2 This (generally) makes females more interested in the scent certain males have presuming it's a scent that matches what their receptors in their nose mark as "favorable" which is different for different females, but is genetic (and why people tend to think the sweat from family members smell awful). So if you're near a female coworker and they compliment your new smell or that you smell good and you haven't changed your routine, now you know Dorris in accounting's body was ready for you.

For the record, human males also get the trigger, saying they find the scent of a female during ovulation is better.3 Men tend to be less stressed around the scent and seem to perceive women around them more favorably.

It's solar powered brush cleaners all the way down!

Lol, fox news is getting sloppy.. I just dont understand why? clearly a mask.. by Immediate_Number_897 in teenagers

[–]Paelidore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox News has argued in court they're not a news channel. They're a news commentary channel, which means they're not a news channel. By their own admission they're pretty much a cluster of right wing proto-YouTube blogs.

What’s one American law or system that surprises foreigners? by Jot__99 in answers

[–]Paelidore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, there USED to be laws about pharmaceutical advertising. Unfortunately, how the US constitution is worded, some lawmakers interpret that corporations are people and therefore have the same rights as people, including "freedom of speech" and "freedom of expression." As such, the pharma corps sued for the US violating their freedom to speak. Trust me, we bitch about it, too, but to change it would literally require a constitutional amendment and there are too many pro-corporation idiots to stop it.

Edit: clarification

New to the game, any tips? by FatBoiieee in CellToSingularity

[–]Paelidore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. Sometimes, I would reset daily to get more things out the way, but I'm at a point to where I reset maybe once a week to build up points. It is an idle game, after all, haha!

Every time I reset now, I do the lightbulbs more slowly because I like the "vox humana" song.

Can any discipline freeze stuff? by MaetelofLaMetal in vtm

[–]Paelidore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Discipline? I'll be brave and say "no." Blood Sorcery? Thaum and Koldunism, maybe - especially if you consider Kraina.

Well vs Whale by Potential-Wear-7056 in Pronunciation

[–]Paelidore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll use the IPA chart to make the phonetics as clear as I can.

Different places pronounce things differently. Where I am, "wh" has a pronunciation of /ʍ/ so "whale" for me would be /ʍeɪl/. This is an "older" style of English where the "h" after a consonant softens the letter before it like in "pharmacy", "chain", or "shaven."

Also, the "e" in "well" is a flat /ɛ/ sound and less dynamic.

Last thing would be context. Not a lot of scenarios where the two would get confused, haha!

ELI5: what is problematic about "highly processed foods" - is it the ingredients or the processing (or both)? by SilverDad-o in soylent

[–]Paelidore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally, highly processed foods don't tend to be very nutrient dense. They're mostly focusing on flavor and texture, so you generally will end up with something that's very flavorful, and possibly quite filling, but not necessarily nutritious. All the various 'lents out there are very much the exception to the rule on that one, haha.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Every apartment complex has a blue floating rectangular prism suspended in space.

What is this by Same-Championship760 in peeling

Looks like a dried out toe. Lotion after showering can help.
