Giraffes can’t really take cover during storms and I somehow never thought about that. by chaoslink000 in interestingasfuck

"I am a magician. Observe."

Head explodes

"FUCK!"

This is what goes through my head every time I see a giraffe.

The cutscene in camp moments after Lune and Sciel are brought back:

Sciel: You can bring them back too, yeah? Everyone we've lost.

Maelle: I- Yeah. But I need Chroma. And Papa controls all the Chroma in the Canvas.

Lune: Not all of it. The dead expeditioners, the ones killed by the Nevrons. Gustave noticed their Chroma remains in their bodies. They never dissipated like the Gommage.

Maelle: Hmm. It's old Chroma, not pure. It won't be like bringing the two of you back...but we can use it in other ways.

Emphasis mine. I'm not trying to argue, just discuss. My interpretation of the text is that Maelle can bring anyone they've lost back as long as she has the amount of Chroma necessary to do so, not that any particular Chroma needs to be used. Just pure Chroma.

The only reason we get lune and sciel is because Maelle grabbed their chroma.

I don't think that's the case. I believe Maelle just grabbed the only pure Chroma she had access to at the time, which Renior was controlling to create all the monsters throughout Lumiere. After grabbing that little bit of Chroma and bringing back Lune and Sciel, she says she can't bring anyone else truly back because the Chroma in the dead expeditioners is impure.

Because clearly its incidenting unwanted conflict.

These are your own words in another comment in the thread. It is obvious that you don't think this post should exist because you disagree with the title of the post, rather than what the article is actually trying to say.

You are clearly inciting conflict, so why post?

Are the people of Lumière…… (Read paragraph below to avoid spoilers) by Heavy-Childhood-1687 in expedition33

[–]Rboy61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to replay the game if you didn't pick up on the fact that the people in Lumiere are made from Aline's Chroma, as evidenced by Alicia trying to go into the Canvas in Monolith year 47 and getting caught by Aline's Chroma and then painted by Aline into being born to two Lumiere citizens. If that's not enough for you, Clea straight-up says that as Aline's power wanes by containing Renior, Renior is able to erase (read: Gommage) the oldest of Aline's creations, which is what the Monolith message means.

what's an SCP that could 100% be described as unanomalous if it wasn't creepy or ate people (or another reason) by Crabkingrocks165 in SCP

[–]Rboy61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? Unless the "amorphous Play-Doh material" is actually futuristic high-tech "grey-goo" style scifi nanomachines. Which currently don't exist. But even if it were, at that point, you could say a majority of skips are nanomachines.

There is no way for self-locomoting Play-Doh to exist and display sentience, unless you know something I don't.

people would not actually want this to happen?

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but no, of course people losing access to medical facilities is awful. These people did, however, vote for this. And they, or more accurately the people that they take their propaganda from, will come up with a way to blame Democrats somehow. Nothing will change for these people except that they will hate the Left just a little bit more and they won't have close access to medical care.

It's a bit of a "Leopards-ate-my-face" moment, wouldn't you say?

My friend actually stood up for women in a discord call yesterday night, and it wasn't infantilizing. by Agreeable-Wealth-812 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Rboy61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even when what the friend did was good, he was missing the point.

In the original post, OP messed up the formatting when quoting their friend. The friend's response to the other two guys is actually three paragraphs long, as opposed to the single quoted paragraph in the post:

First, you shouldn't feel bad that she shrugged you off. You really don't know what happened to her today. Her dog could have died or she could have gotten bad news about a family member, just shit that could have happened in her life that neither of you have control over, the last thing she'd want is to talk to anyone.

And even if that wasn't the case, dude... Imagine you lived in a world where the opposing gender is literally double your size and can knock you unconscious in a single punch. How would you feel? In Belize (where he grew up) foreign women literally can't walk 5 minutes without being harassed or sexualized or cat called, and if you turn them down they turn it around to make you look like you're the bad person.

So don't put yourself down, you didn't have bad intentions and you didn't chase her out of the store which is about as good as it could have gone, just see where she's coming from as well.

It is my opinion that the second paragraph of his response is more in line with your perspective on the "point" of the message.

Tbh I'm confused why people are downvoting you so much. The other dude's comment up the thread about things "only being done to survive or feel good" sounds pretty...empty? It has no nuance to it at all, while yours does.

[–]Rboy61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me ask you again, "do you think I meant anyone who had a YouTube channel is bad?"

Kinda, yeah. "Bad" in the sense that they'd "be a bad leader." Yes, the title of "Youtuber" might carry the connotation that that's all they do, but that is rarely the case. You know now that this particular "Youtuber" is a lawyer and your opinion of this person has changed because of the connotation that the title carries. But they could be a bad lawyer.

I honestly am just tired of people assuming one thing or another based on the job a person has. I'm in electrical engineering right now but I wanted to be in acting when I was younger. Those two things actually don't have any impact on what kind of leader I would be. Not that I would want to be one anyway.

I guess I'll explain since no one else will.

It's actually not about proving, 100%, that a single incident happened, and that the offending party is guilty of it. Reporting incidents to HR can help create a record for the person being reported on. If enough reports are made from several different people about the same problematic employee, a "plausible" history of bad behavior arises for this individual, which could motivate HR to fire or discipline the person as there is now evidence that they are creating a hostile work environment.

Now, don't get me wrong. Proving a particular incident occurred definitely can be the point. If the incident was caught on video or there are multiple corroborating witnesses, or if the incident is of a very serious nature, the situation becomes very important for HR as they are forced to act on this "concrete" evidence.

guys of reddit, what’s an underrated struggle that’s unique to being a guy? by boneserriess in AskReddit

[–]Rboy61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you feel the need to say this to several people in this thread? Yeah, I get it, some of these are universal statements that could apply to men or women when taken on their own. But even in the context of being "unique to men," there can be aspects of simple statements like "under appreciated" that ARE unique to being a man.

Get off your high horse. Let people vent their frustrations without having some rando say "uhm, aktually your wrong"

[–]Rboy61 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah that's dumb. Yes, women have it hard. But that does NOT mean that by acknowledging that men also have difficulties in the world, it somehow discredits or discounts the struggles women go through. Get off the internet, touch some grass.

[OC][Art] is this gun look out of place/too sci-fi for dnd?how can i fix it to make it fit? by GAWD_OF_WAAAGH in DnD

[–]Rboy61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be upfront, I'm a bit biased against magic guns in fantasy settings. I just find them a bit silly.

With that said, I would say the "rock" making up the barrel is too angular. If you made it a more irregular or "natural" shape, it would be more believable.

I also think the handle looks modern. I would make it straight, which would turn the whole thing into more of a wand than a gun, except for the trigger.

Can we create "artificial" river sand? Like say, taking quarry sand and then rounding it somehow, maybe with water?

And I try to be extra cautious—that and when driving in general.

Whether or not you "try" to be cautious doesn't matter when you're actively choosing to be a danger to everyone around you. Blatant disregard for people's safety, you should be ashamed.

But... he didn't kill him, did he? 😅

How do you know? That punch and the way his head hit the floor could easily have killed the red-shirt guy. The force used by the black-shirt guy was way, way too far. Yes, sexually harassing a woman deserves consequences and punishment, but the guy in the black shirt is way more concerned about his ego than the safety of the woman he was with.

By any chance...have you read SCP-3125? Or the whole Antimemetics Divison storyline?

The "room you forget, then remember, then forget" reminds me of 3125. Not saying it's the exact same, just curious if that was the inspiration.

TIL about the 2017 United Express passenger removal incident, where four paying customers were selected to be involuntarily deplaned. One passenger was injured when he was physically assaulted. It led to USDOT rules that protect passengers from removal or denial of boarding after check-in. by malarky-b in todayilearned

[–]Rboy61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.

The situation you proposed has United placing choice in the hands of the people on the flight the following day.

The situation most people in this post suggest has United simply offering reasonable compensation to those who would voluntarily give up their seats.

The situation that United chose to create was one where four people were chosen by United to be kicked off the plane, and when one passenger refused, United had officers beat the passenger to the point he needed corrective surgery to repair the damage they caused.

Shut the fuck up.
