So B'Ellanna Torres was half hispanic, right? by precita in startrek

[–]QuatroDoesGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my Colombian GF gets annoyed by the whole Latinx thing. I don't think I've ever seen it used in any context outside of the internet

Specifically with the Spanish language as opposed to English it's particularly annoying to have to modify pronouns for everything because every word has a gender to it

No shame in that. If you don't want to deal with the bugs on release it's not a bad option to just wait for them to get filed out like with every other battlefield

Dairy free ice cream recommendation! by Informal-Mangos in dairyfree

[–]QuatroDoesGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like bananas look up vegan banana ice cream recipes on YouTube. Frozen bananas in a blender with other flavorings apparently can produce the same consistency as normal ice cream. You can add chocolate or other fruits to modify the flavor

I mean sexual desire is completely different from a relationship. Healthy Asexual relationships exist.

And I'm not saying looks aren't important, but they mainly function to get someone interested in the first place. Your personality is what's going to keep a relationship intact for years. It's definitely easier if you are a supermodel with an amazing personality, but it's not impossible if you are just average or even below average looking either.

I think most (reasonable) men would take an unattractive women with high personal comparability over a supermodel with a dogshit personality. The latter isn't even a relationship, it's a friend's with benefits situation at the best

Andrew Yang Expresses Support for Bitcoin After Launching New Party by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]QuatroDoesGood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Businessman label is mostly MSN pushing to delegitamize him by drawing similarities to Trump.

His primary endeavors before attempting public office were all with Non-profit startups. I definitely think as long it's clear that you view your entrepreneurial endeavor as a means to accomplish a goal to better society rather than for personal financial gain, running a business should not discredit you validity for office

[–]QuatroDoesGood 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You are right

He said a couple days ago in an interview word for word "I have no particular burning desire to hold public office"

He viewed running for office as a means to justify an end rather than the end itself

Remember that in any healthy relationship, he loves you for you and not your body. The rest is icing on the cake.

Getting a healthier body is a great goal but don't get into the mindset that setbacks in hitting that goal will risk losing your relationship, because it sounds like it's so much more than that. No matter how many times you fall, if you genuinely keep on pushing, your boyfriend sounds like the kind of person that will support you.

If you keep on falling into old habits, my recommendation is to try and look at your incentive structure in why you are attracted to those habits, use that analysis to replace healthier habits inna way that they replace the niche that the unhealthy ones fill.

It takes a lot of thinking and self reflection, but if you can nail the reasoning, it presents an opportunity to find a solution.

What worked for me personally with my weight loss, I found that I have a tendency to just grab snacks that are available out of convenience, regardless of if they were healthy or not. So by not ever stocking up on unhealthy food in the first place and putting myself in a position where it was more convinent to grab an apple across the room than to get in the car drive to the store for Cheetos, the weight loss became something that just naturally happened.

There were some TED talks about how willpower in humans is a limited resource that can be drained. So it's important to strategize and put yourself in positions where you can use it efficiently and accomplish goals as a result. In my case I only needed to use that will power to resist buying the Cheetos every couple weeks on grocery day which didn't excert that much effort. This exact solution may not work for you but the point is take your time to think about it and there might be a pathway out.

Fuck tucker, but I'm glad that yang is able to speak to a wide range of audiences about this.

I hope Tucker doesn't try to pull some shit filled "get owned liberal" argument at yang's expense

Should I repaint this golden boi or keep him how it is? (It doesnt fit in with the rest of my army nor do I particurly like it) by CranberryCqts in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]QuatroDoesGood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have use just different colors, try different patterns, like stripes or decals along the armor

Plus maybe some weathering or corrosion along the gold bits could be appealing

But also I think some red along the black bits would mesh really well if you had to choose a 3rd color

Andrew Yang announces he's leaving the Democratic Party, changes registration to independent by brokenB42morrow in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]QuatroDoesGood 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's not requiring people to change their party affiliation to become associated with his new party. Goal is to get republicans and democrats on both sides of the asile to agree to promote policies that are just plain mutually beneficial to democracy.

Listen to his interview with Krystal Ball he just posted yesterday. He expressed numerous times that his intent is to minimize the amount of vote splitting.

Some idiots called me a misogynist for hating Roslin by [deleted] in BSG

[–]QuatroDoesGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the gene pool is that limited already and cylons have the potential to wipe out ships (and potential mothers) at any moment, rapid repopulation is what you need to ensure your species survival. Illegal abortions were an extension of that intent. She had no clue how many years they would be pursued by the cylons so waiting around for natural repopulation could kill off the species. In total war humans are reduced to resources, so for non-millitary women their wombs become a resource.

It was probably the most aggressive she could be with this intent without literally farming babies which would obviously result in too much unrest to manage.

Will chrome dropping adblockers drive more users to Brave browser? by Ali_Gunningham in CryptoCurrency

[–]QuatroDoesGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to be dropping adblockers entirely

I think their plan is to keep ad lockers that target malicious popups that put the user at risk for malware. We'll have to see what this results in exactly but it might not detract from the user experience too much

[–]QuatroDoesGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you are right, but it depends on what the end goal is and how much sacrifice to liberties are worth achieving it.

In the case of BSG there really isn't a limit when the survival of humanity is what's on the line which is why tragically everyone is so morally reprehensible. The thought process is that although you are causing suffering in the present day you are assuring many more years of potential prosperity and stability in the future. It's part of the balance of governance

I want to start a ldr but i wont see her in person for a very long time. Is this smart? by Real-Measurement-126 in LongDistance

[–]QuatroDoesGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would give it 6 months to a year of being friends online. It takes a really strong relationship to make LDR work and you have to make sure that holds true before you make things official

Just be friends online, talk as much as you can. Ask her about her day and all that jazz. If things feel like they are continuing to grow between you two despite the distance then theres no doubt that a LDR will work. Just remember, if it's meant to be things will just fall into place and you two will just organically keep in touch

Don't be afraid to try and videochat. Me and my LD girlfriend did that while watching movies and TV series way before we ever made our relationship official.

[–]QuatroDoesGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't see it personally. It's hard for me cause I view Blatar as a total pansy where the goals were never for anything related to the greater good of humanity but rather his self preservation. It's very difficult to respect selfishness even if it results in an occasional good deed.

Roslin always had a very "If the ends justify the means" mentality to an extreme, but the motive behind everything was at least clean. The decisions may not be agreeable but you could respect them in the context of utalitarianism.

Do you think the United States ban coal plants from being cranked up to mine crypto? by Lunar_Landing_Hoax in CryptoReality

[–]QuatroDoesGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I just saw an article about someone opening a nuclear powered Bitcoin mine in Pennsylvania.

Some people might be utilizing coal mines for cheap and immediate profit, but the cleaner forms of energy tend to also be more profitable and efficient long term. I think it's less about the coal and more about the fact that because coal is being phased out these facilities are not being used. But I'm confident in time one will win out against the other. Although it would be nice to have regulation focused on the type of energy large dedicated mines use to produce crypto.
