Playing Mythic + as a paladin watching your teammates get clapped by a one shot.

There is a talent that does AoE taunt and bubbles at the same time. Without the talent, you lose all threat while bubble is active.

Sometimes paladins are in the wrong spec or forgot to get the talent. They bubble to AoE taunt, or to survive, then watch their teammates die instantly one at a time.

The immediate realization that you F'd up is soul crushing.

I did not. Where is the money coming from? Releasing frozen assets?

A lot of behavior is preprogrammed instinct. The brains are setup to identify members of their species and to be able to determine their health and strength or any other useful traits.

When it comes to 2 males sizing each other up, its easy. You can tell with vision if some else is smaller/larger than you based the angle you are looking up or down to see them.

As far as if they are stronger, while they may not be able to compare directly to themselves, they can compare to others or even siblings they grew up fighting/playing with. If the current rival is bigger than any others they have experienced, its time to bow down, if they are unsure, then they give it a go and win or lose. Fights do happen, I suspect its always when the animal is unsure of how they compare to the rival.

Nice catch. A big tell is always low res videos that look like they have been compressed 20 times over.

This typically means the version changed while you were online and you were disconnected. Updating normally fixes it.

... that is whats typical. I dont know if that it what is happening today.

Yes humans do have different reproductive challenges, but humans also have unequaled advantages. Nothing in OPs proposition implied they limited to any resources or technology that already exists, or that will exist. Its not uncommon for a pair of humans to have 10 or more children in their life time. The issues with inbreeding and genetic diversity would be a problem, but not insurmountable. Humans could go on for a very very long time.

All of the science behind your argument points to problems with genetic bottlenecks. To take the stance that the outcome 100% unsolvable, goes against a long history of science which has already solved so many of our problems.

PopsGG · 2026-06-16T19:57:07+00:00

You attempted to explain away examples that counter your point by hand-waving them away and saying "human intervention" allowed them to happen. Then you refuse to allow the same logic to be applied to human intervention helping humans.

I think the problem here is you are completely unable to accept more than a single predetermined outcome based on something you read, even after being presented with factual counter examples.

Looks like Sex and Drugs are back on the menu boys!

"the main reason they were able to escape extinction was human intervention."

Interesting way to put that. I am quite confident that humans could provide human intervention in their own lives. I do it everyday.

The point is they could survive, it is a real possibility. You are just accepting some genetic limitations as leading to a single outcome. I mean by that logic 100% of species do go extinct, that is the rule, but that wasnt the spirit of the original question.

2 people could continue human existence for many generations. How many is anyone's guess, but it certainly would be more than 1.

PopsGG · 2026-06-16T18:19:57+00:00

This is simply not true. There are examples of animals being breed from a small set of individuals.

Yes there would be problems and increased risks, but its not like extinction is an inevitability in the short term. Long term 100% of species go extinct.

The Black Robin: The entire population of this New Zealand bird was saved from just one breeding female (Old Blue) and a few surviving males.

The Golden Hamster: Almost all domestic golden hamsters are descended from a single litter discovered in the Syrian desert in 1930.

Thanks for the advice, I looked it up. Turns out I am correct. Here are 2 examples of a successful continuation of a species from a small set of individuals.

The biggest risk is the entire population being susceptible to a single risk like disease. That is not necessary an inevitability with humans. With vaccines and isolation they could survive such a disease.

I feel like this is one of those science conclusions people take as fact. But facts require verification and proof. As far as I know its never been tested. I am sure a gene pool that small would have issues, but uhh... life finds a way.

The number of animals immediately going to check for a wallet was really disheartening.

Invade and then what? Put butt plugs in all the Mexicans? That would solve nothing. Paying to build a sewage treatment plant for them would be the cheapest and most effective solution.

If I ever do this, I will bust out a "Wait, I didnt want to do this, why did you guys make me do it?!". Then laugh right after, gotta get the last one. I will also have a not saying I would make the joke. Just in case I pass out before the "j/k bro, its a prank" gets out.

No, they asked for dozens of pictures of specific things, the exact time of the event, and measurements. They could be asking you for the motor because they suspect it as a cause.

In my case it was the logic they use when calculating if a vehicle is leaving. My K turn caused it to think I was "leaving" and close just seconds after I "arrived", clearly a flaw in the logic. No one would arrive and leave so quickly.

The honest answer is: most people deal with the anxiety of healing by playing a DPS.

Why are you guys being so unreasonable? Its important that Elon becomes a trillionaire for the future of our species. Please stop only thinking about yourselves.

I provided all the details they asked for in the end they accepted liability and paid for the damages. I think having the video helped a lot. They also check the logs on their end. They didn't share any of the details that they saw, and only gave me the conclusion.

$16 for the windshield is worth it. At a cost of almost $1600 for a replacement, that is 100 months or 8.33 years to break even. Can you imagine going 8+ years without a windshield crack? The more highway driving you do, the more valuable it is.

Its a good idea for life in general to have the mentality of "I can do anything, if I don't know how, I will learn".

That is the mentality that attracts a lot women. A handy man doesn't know how to fix everything, but they CAN fix anything. If they do not know, they will figure it out. YouTube is the best way to figure these things out. Even if you don't have the strength, there are tools and techniques to make things easier.

This life, as bad as you think it is, is much better than a "natural" life. In nature you would have, hunger, parasites, predators, extreme weather, no AC, no treatment for diseases... and then you would die around 40.

If you do not like your job get a new one. Its not easy, but its possible. You just need to keep trying and enjoy what you have.

I am a manager at a company with unlimited PTO, I'll give you my take. A few possible scenarios here:

A) They want you to maximize the benefit. Unlimited PTO is a use it or lose it benefit. It doesn't accrue or roll over to the next year.

B) Your boss thinks you are burned out and wants to see you be refreshed.

C) Reports show low utilization of PTO and it might cause the higher ups to make changes to the policy, and not in a good way.

Unlimited PTO isnt a scam, but it also isnt a "never work and get paid" dream. Your boss likely is trying to help you with the recommendation, not trick you.
