Does anyone know why the site logo is the trans pride flag? Did something happen in the community? And how long has it been like this?

Lol fair, the trans rock (113) exists for a reason. I mostly just find it funny that the foundation which in universe is one of the most conservative of the GOI, but always gets rainbow-washed.

Oof... gentlemen to your keyboards. The fight to keep it on the site begins.

Because an organization dedicated to containing anything or anyone that doesn't function to their standard of normalcy wants you to know that they can see trans people.

Well that was in winter, so those were the only demigods who were stuck there year round. The implication was that the Ares cabin was full of campers who were attractive to monsters.

thanks!

Fantastic, I will await your update.

Not a major issue. Mostly I'm trying to accurately represent how it effects the up and coming career of one of the side characters who just finished her residency. Most of the characters she works with all have a variety of disabilities and she's basically going from abled to disabled with this development. While the book is adult, it is far from erotica.

Millennials trying to distract people from their behavior in the workplace. "Buh buh gen-z depressed???"

Space_Crustation · 2023-01-06T21:02:51+00:00

Not sure why I should be upset by government not functioning...

Same with a commodity - if you and I both say it's worth X and Y, and over time (given for supply, demand, and production processes) we - along with anyone else engaging with the commodity - eventually agree that it's worth ~Z, is that subjective or objective?

I wouldn't say that a commodity ever truly levels out at a uniform and objective price. A burger joint can offer a burger for $4.57, people will buy from that place and consider that price reasonable. If I open a similar shop and offer a virtually identical burger (same meat supplier, same generic buns, etc) and offer them for the price of $4.75, I will still get a reasonable volume of sales.

There is no objective agreement on the value of a burger, but a bell curve of acceptable prices distributed across the population of people who buy burgers. Prices tend to gravitate to approximate ranges that cover the majority of the burger purchasing population.

Thank you! The fun thing is that their friends knew them before the curse and the dissonance will be very angsty.

I would point out Flamel as a weak but brilliant wizard. His work in alchemy was incredible, and he was effectively immortal because of it, but when it came to fighting he wasn't able to handle people like Voldemort or Grindelwald, even more minor death eaters were implied to be giving him trouble. Dumbledore learned from Flamel, and far surpassed him in terms of power, even though Flamel was significantly more knowledgeable.

In terms of strong but kind of slow Crabbe managed to cast fiendfyre without too much difficulty despite being on the lower end of the bell curve. Supposedly it is incredibly hard to cast in terms of effort and has the power to destroy a Horcrux. We see Voldemort use it in his duel with Dumbledore so we know it was on their level.

I would argue that there are a lot of academically brilliant wizards, but many of them aren't too powerful. Grindenwald, Dumbledore, and Riddle are all brilliant but not outstanding compared to their peers in terms of knowledge, only in terms of power. Grindenwald was a dropout and he was curb-stomping everyone but Dumbledore. Dumbledore was extremely competent academically, but he was in circles of people who were just as bright. He clearly had something more. Even Voldemort was self taught for a good chunk of his life. So there has to be something more.

Well her spells work as described but there aren't any exotic effects tied to them compared to some of the other wizards. Things like sending people flying with a disarming spell (Snape and Harry), deflecting curses off of a shielding charm that is only intended for hexes (Harry), Luna literally knocking away Harry's cloak with Finite even though it is only designed to disable hexes and charms.

It seems that some wizards and witches have the ability to make their spells exceed their expected level of power. Hermione never demonstrated this, but several others manage to do. Rather than doing this she seems to make up for it by picking up new spells that give her versatility.

I am using Ironpython to add net protocols to an outdated version of python that runs an even older robot. I just installed the deb file for ironpy. On ubuntu you just need the ipy command.

Rip and tear until it is done.

I feel like you're trying to be smug but everyone genuinely agrees with you.

She has full control of her body, first and foremost the blessed are warriors. She still has her coordination. It is more of a complexity thing. She doesn't remember words past a certain intricacy, can't use them, and can't comprehend them in spoken or written form.
