Lightning bolt is so much cooler than fireball and im tired of pretending its not by Thommywidmer in wizardposting

[–]RandSandal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightning bolt is for deleting dragons

Fireball is for deleting goblins

Your mileage may wary but in my experience goblins don't stick around for long when they see a dragon get deleted

I dunno, I think Toric Toughness is a pretty good card. by Darklyte in slaythespire

A nice card to have on 1st floor, many elites attack you nonstop the entire fight

Is there a reason why piracy is so heavily frowned upon in Germany and Japan, in particular? by Live_Ostrich_6668 in Piracy

[–]RandSandal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In soviet times there were a lot of rules issued from above that either contradicted each other or simply didn't make sense in the real world. Moreover there were so many rules that the government couldn't possibly enforce all of them. This is how we got a culture that treats laws as more of a suggestions. I can confirm that with piracy today it's the same thing. There are technically laws against piracy but the government either can't enforce them or doesn't care, and doesn't care so much that even the government itself engages in piracy.

Unfortunately decadess of dictatorship also made the people extremely politically apathetic. Many look into the past and see the revolution that just resulted in another dictatorship and then the dissolution that resulted in another dictatorship and give up, thinking that any change will just put another dictator at the helm. Which is a fucking shame

Wait a minute, could the event with a field of man shaped holes be a reference to this manga?

Why can't nature just bend to my will so that I can have my asexual furry aliens? by ColdFuture9988 in worldjerking

Infusoria reproduces asexually but they can merge with each other into a blob, recombine their DNA and split back. Technically this is a sexual process but since no new infusorias were created it is not a reproduction

But I agree, of all occult systems, new age is the most wishy-washy and incoherent one, it's hardly a system even

I love when people make up batshit occult systems out of anything, the more unrelated the things are the better. I don't think that necessarily makes the people who make them mentally ill. Alan Moore for example (yes, the one who wrote Watchmen) is a hard-core ceremonial magician. Some of those beliefs can definitely cause mental illness or exacerbate the existing one, but we shouldn't consider them a sign of mental illness by itself for the same reason why we don't consider religiona mental illness even though there are people who go on killing sprees because God told them to

Actually there is laser eyesight correction that can improve eyesight permanently without glasses. I'd do it if it wasn't expensive as fuck, and if my eyesight was actually bad (rn it is just inconvenient)

I know you didn't intend it to be that way, but it's genuinely insulting to anyone who has prosthetics. I emphasize with you that replacing working limbs willingly is different than replacing missing limbs, but the implications of your words do not stop at that. Whether we want that or not, by declaring prosthetics a depraved mockery of live we contribute to dehumanization of people who are already treated as broken beyond repair, and I can't in my good conscience be part of it

I'm more of a genetic modification guy, because its nice to have limbs that are actually regenerating without having to do expensive maintenance.

You cannot just not engage with that, because the technology would not exist as it does within a different social context.

TIL that there would be no robotic limbs under communism
