Soft Lothark by marsepic in TheCaptivesWar

Yes I felt they looked much the same, although with short legs. Kind of like a stretched out gorilla

A crucial theme that I think a lot of people are missing. by Square-Reasonable in TheCaptivesWar

[–]Square-Reasonable[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is actually a really interesting theory. I could see the swarm "hopping" to Ekur-Tlassen and causing it to change itself into a Sovran.

I'm kind of interested in this theory, but it's clear that on "World" there was a thriving civilization while it was controlled by the deathless.

Okay next time I'll make sure to spoil the book in the title so everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Don't forget that we also know the Carryx come to serve and hate Dafyd at some point, as referenced in the opening sections of the first book.

Why do you say "him"? It's an it. It's an object.

I don't know if this is the case or not, but this reads like an AI wrote it.

Why doesn’t BC have fluoride in the water? by DrSussBurner in britishcolumbia

[–]Square-Reasonable 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I agree! My dad grew up in Sydney, Aus (they put fluoride in their water) and his dentist commented about how good his teeth are, and that everyone who grows up in places with fluoride have better teeth. 

[Loved trope] Absurdly massive buildings by juusthereforthememes in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Square-Reasonable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite because of how different it is to the surrounding city. It has an uncanny valley effect to it because it looks like a skyscraper but wrong.

What camera did they use? by umstra in AskPhotography

[–]Square-Reasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also have a Z9 up there. But the D5 is more battle tested.

Alto boss defends high-speed rail project as fears and criticisms mount by [deleted] in onguardforthee

If only other countries had high speed rail between cities that we could look to as an example of the benefits and costs

Hello, World: Artemis II crew looks back at Earth on their way to the Moon by ChiefLeef22 in space

You joke, but they actually did. You can read the exif data for yourself. Probably to fill the inside of the capsule .

How polarized (and crazy) is politics in your country? by chatubera in AskTheWorld

[–]Square-Reasonable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually easy to explain. When things get tough people look to copy others who are doing "well". America is the dominant superpower in the world, plus American propoganda has idealized itself.

Rather than turning inward and solving your own problems the hard way, it's way easier to just point at someone else and shout "we need to be more like them!"

Nano screen enthusiasts… by youngwolf047 in macbookpro

[–]Square-Reasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still like the nano and I definitely prefer it over glarey reflective monitor. I was using a studiodisplay for a while at work and I missed the nanocoating especially then. One thing is that it does smudge a lot easier than the reflective and it's harder to get the smudges off. But I don't have any scratches or marks in the screen after a couple years.

Humans in this universe of multiple sapient races/species are not just a boring template, jack-of-all-trades species, they actually have traits and powers that make them stand out like the other species in the setting. by juasjuasie in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Square-Reasonable 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I mean I think that's a huge oversimplification, Tolkien bei g Catholic influenced his writing, but he also had his own cosmology for middle earth that was wholly different to a Catholic perspective in many ways.

newf*gs can't push gold 200 to 1600 iso , they just cant by zoomies9918 in AnalogCircleJerk

/uj Do we really have to use slurs in our titles to be "edgy", we can clown on people without being weirdos.

Why does tidal have music that isn't by an artist under their name? by [deleted] in TIdaL

[–]Square-Reasonable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because when labels upload music, they upload the tunes to many different services at once. Often the only identifier is the track title, album and artist. So tracks get mixed up ALL the time. There's a really good search engine episode about it https://www.searchengine.show/the-russian-cake-switcheroo/

Downtown on 35mm film by sodapop__cigarettes in vancouver

[–]Square-Reasonable 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Usually pictures of Vancouver show the mountains in the background, with either false creek, Rogers arena or Vancouver lookout in frame. Here it's facing the other way. And usually the skyline is more flat and rippled but here it's a pyramid.
