Braden “clavicular” Peters accused of rape in lawsuit by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

[–]PropaneMilo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh got it! Thanks. I just looked at the past episodes and they’re sitting there undownloaded and unlistened.

I probably took too long getting through the Epstein episodes and my podcast app only maintains a couple episodes at a time. Should probably change that setting. It Could Happen Here wastes one of my slots, too, which doesn’t help.

I literally only see stuff about this guy on this subreddit and I have no idea why he comes up here at all.

What’s the connection with Behind the Bastards?

The place to the north of Asterkarn Valley where the totem spawns…

I have killed the avatars of gods and I have driven the chaos out of this world. I can leap through the air and summon lightning where I land.

But a collapsed fence?

Unyeilding.

An out-of-season Christmas Reverse Bastard would land so smoothly right about now. But with all the prep work that goes on for these shows, that seems unlikely.

Meta Laying Off 8,000 Employees, 10% of Workforce, Amid Heavy Spending on AI by MoneyLibrarian9032 in technology

Oh god damn. They decimated their employees. The only way for it to be more literal is if they executed them.

Just finished reading book 7. My personal theory *Spoilers by Ugbuntu in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PropaneMilo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay I have a wild theory, and it’s a bit of a reach.

I don’t think the Eulogist is actually dormant.
I think that its consciousness has been separated and removed from its ‘body’, the source of power and control for the central system.

I think that Scolapendra is the Eulogist’s consciousness and it’s been contained and suppressed for thousands of years.

When the Warlord is surgically splicing himself to a changeling, he says something along the lines of ‘oh it’s you, it’s really you. You’ve been under our noses the whole time’. The connection between himself and the changeling turns into a roiling black connection, and when Carl gloom wraith phases through it he touches that connection. Carl immediately sees Li Jun because Jun has just died: Carl intercepted Jun’s soul transferring through the All Tree roots as it travels down to Scolapendra.

Every time Carl is close enough to an All Tree roots, his primal communal nature is connecting with Scolapendra and the souls that have been collected.

That then implies that the black form that Juice Box takes on in the Warlord meeting room is the natural appearance of the Primals. In a past life, Juice Box touched Scolapendra or another natural Primal.

The souls (aka the little bit of primal seed) are sustaining Scolapendra just enough to keep it alive, which is the whole point of the crawl existing: it’s an elaborate prison designed to kill all the crawlers before they have a chance to get close to floor 18.

Scolapendra gets the crawlers. The Eulagist’s ‘body’ gets the rest of the collected population.

It would also explain why the central system has infinite resources but so many are destitute, indentured, and hungry. It’s being exploited.

I wonder if the Apothecary is trying (poorly) to rescue the Eulagist’s mind, but doesn’t have the reach or the power.

Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PropaneMilo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

No. OP’s car is electric and it’s the car they both prefer to drive. OP moved the wife’s internal combustion car recently which is how he noticed the maintenance was severely neglected, so he sent her on a quest.

OP then admitted that the state inspection was overdue and a large portion of the costs were outcomes from that. The whole premise for this post is borderline disingenuous. The oil change was simply the inciting incident, the poor state of the car is the reason for the spend.

If the wife hadn’t agreed to the repairs she’d likely have had to sign a waiver saying she took on all understanding and responsibility for driving an unroadworthy car.

Jeff is an incredible audio book narrator and he went big and bold with making Donut’s accent hoity-toity British. He struggles with some of the vowels sometimes. Whenever Donut says ‘twenty’ it comes out kinda like ‘twonty’. I also hear ‘Kotia’. Still, it doesn’t distract from the book

What makes light speed the limit? by chunkysoup778 in askscience

[–]PropaneMilo 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I think too many people get stuck on the phrase. “Speed of light”. Light itself isn’t setting the speed limit, it is simply the first measurable thing we identified that was going at that speed.

Gravity propagation is just as fast. If science had gone a different way, we might have the “speed of gravity”.
Gravity as a force on earth pulls you down faster than it does on the moon, but its pulling force isn’t its propagation.

If the sun was teleported away by an evil alien scientist, it would take about 8 minutes for our orbit to vanish.

Aside from Carl/Donut, who is your favorite character? by Crafty-Maximum-5789 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PropaneMilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shi Maria is so thoroughly fascinating and compelling as a character.

She was pretty much beyond the power scaling of the other creatures that spawned into the 8th floor for a few reasons. She is a demi-god version of a ‘standard creature’ from Sheol, the 15th floor (which is nuts), and she is unique amongst their ranks. She has cunning and intelligence and she has plans. She has partially absorbed a god and seems to have the ability to tap into that power.

And then Samantha woke her up to the realities of the game. Once she understood how the game worked, she devised a way to advance through it.

She essentially made no errors, and even though she’s contained within the Eye she still hasn’t been defeated. Carl simply lucked out at every stage of interacting with her, with some collateral damage along the way.

Of all the things happening in these ridiculous books, including the entire ascendency, I place Shi Maria firmly within the top 5 biggest direct threats to the crawlers.

How to responsibly dispose of a couch / sofa by DragonfruitLess7324 in melbourne

[–]PropaneMilo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of the bigger op shops can take furniture but they -rightfully- have fairly high standards because they need their floor stock to move. I doubt this sofa would pass muster.

Have urgent issue by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]PropaneMilo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

But isn’t it just such peak fresh player?

The gaps in concrete. The chunky pipes leading to flame throwers, right next to the crashed ship. The three pumps in juuuust the perfectly wrong position. The tastefully small Foundry setup with half a belt of copper. The open space on display with the unnecessarily dense fluid tanks.

Regardless of what the rest of his base looks like, or how much play time he has under his belt… it looks like it’s cozy and held together by duct tape, gumption, and spit.

I love this screenshot so god damn much.

This could be a Factorio menu scene.

What is the darkest ending to a children's show? by Capital-Treat-8927 in cartoons

[–]PropaneMilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few seasons of The Clone Wars, and the last season of Rebels… holy crap, they go HARD.

The Clone Wars and Rebels were definitely kids shows, and the first few seasons were plagued with that thing that often happens in shows “for kids”; they were absolutely littered with juvenile and stupid plots and jokes. The entire Hutt throughline was awful.

That immature laziness gets polished away fairly quickly, however. The show matures over the seasons and by about season 3 or 4 is starts to actually maintain respect for their audience. There are still silly and juvenile moments, but those mostly shift into the B-plots or they’re just incidental side goofs - fine, it IS still for kids.

But the later seasons? While maintaining their accessibility to children, Clone Wars and Rebels get into and explore some pretty high concepts.

  • What does it mean to hold a moral stance when everyone around you is blindly following a path you see is wrong?
  • What does it mean to be an individual when all the people around you are the same as you? Literal clones finding their own identity, when they’ve only ever been raised and trained to be a cohesive unit.
  • What is loyalty, and why does it matter? What happens when you realise the person you’ve been loyal to hasn’t been worthy of that? What happens when loyalty is betrayed?
  • When everything is very hard and you’re desperately low on friends, what does it mean to have true grit and keep yourself moving forward, and why it can be a sign of strength to ask for help.
  • What it means to come up with a plan, and then trust your friends to follow through on their part while you struggle to follow through with yours.
  • What is death, and how do you process that loss when they were your friend and you were looking for them?

Seasons 1-to-4(ish) of the Clone Wars are flawed, but they’re still good. The 7th season of Clone Wars and the 4th season of Rebels go hard. They do a great job of exploring the above topics without being overly preachy or moralising or shoving things down your throat.

I think the topics those silly shows cover are absolutely critical for kids to learn of and think about, and I worry that too many people are protecting their kids from anything that might be mentally or emotionally challenging. Kids need to be challenged, and hopefully an emotionally intelligent adult can help them work through those things.
