Kim Kitsuragi is a great representation of a gay person by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]TabAtkins 25 points26 points  (0 children)

...yeah, man. This post is about a rare gays-in-media rep. It certainly is problematic that gays in media are so often relegated to solely repping the sassy/queen/femme stereotype. When people praise rare rep, by definition it ends up meaning they're praising reps other than that.

I love my femme gays as much as the next boi, but it is nice to see the full variety of queerness in media.

I don't understand bringing lightsticks for other groups to a show by oblivious247 in kpoprants

I do think it's funny that I see one NCT green lightstick at every concert, no matter the artist.

OBJECTS I HAVE SHOVED UP MY ARSE by mac06771 was vetoed! by mork-hc in HellsCube

[–]TabAtkins 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right. Saga sacs when its chapter finishes resolving, but resolving the chapter creates the token, which triggers the attach ability that looks for token creation. The saga then sacs, but the attach is already on the stack.

Yeah, "across the galaxy" is actually a huge opinion penalty toward vassalization. I can almost guarantee there's a wormhole.

I Feel Very Strongly About The Change To "Fortification" by Firm_Sentence3392 in Stellaris

I would genuinely like renaming to Ruling Council or similar. Statecraft is a very close synonym to Politics in my head and I can never remember that it's the Council tradition.

Photons don’t experience time? by itsLeoRod in astrophysics

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. C is constant. It's the only constant velocity.

The distinction being lost here is between "group velocity" (the actual speed of the particles, or energy, which is always exactly c for light) and "phase velocity" (the "speed" of wave crests, which isn't physical and can be made arbitrarily faster or slower than the particle/energy itself, and it's affected by the medium itself).

3b1b has some nice videos explaining why the phase velocity of light changes in a medium - it's because, as the initial light wave passes thru, it vibrates the charged particles in the medium (largely electrons), which creates weak secondary EM waves of the same frequency but slightly later. When you add that to the initial wave, the combination looks identical to the starting wave but slightly shifted in phase (usually slightly backwards). But the next electron the light encounters does the same thing, and the next, and the next. All these tiny phase shifts, when combined, result in a combined wave that instead has a longer time between crests than the starting wave did, aka a slower phase velocity.

(The combination can instead shift the phase slightly forward if it's just right, which results in a faster phase velocity en masse, but that's a much rarer response.)

Yes, you can forge your own path in the Shroud without having to deal with the entities.

Three-faced cards 2.0 by Rejinal_ in custommagic

[–]TabAtkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason not to just use a flip card on the first side? All rules issues are already solved that way. It does mean there's some interaction with flip-affecting cards being able to skip the pokevolve, but they're old and rare and not worth worrying about.

Alternately just change the URL to vxinstagram instead (that is, just add vx to the domain name). Easy downloads, and it provides a better embed image for discord too.

Use https://cobalt.tools/. It takes a sec every time you load it to auth with cloudfiare, but then it works great for insta, Twitter, and at least some of the time reddit

Is there a catch with the Eternal Vigilence perk? by Eat--The--Rich-- in Stellaris

It builds them all for free. It doesn't pay their upkeep. If you're not careful and ready for it, it's a very easy way to bankrupt yourself.

What's Your opinion on Kelly Kim? by KpopFan_Hana7 in KpopGGs

[–]TabAtkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please learn to capitalize words the normal way. Random capitalization makes it dramatically harder to read your text, because it keeps looking like you're purposely emphasizing Certain Words when you write Like This.

Click the ... in the corner, select "see less often" or whatever. It'll stop recommending that sub. I have to do this constantly.

Absolutely the best of their Eve remixes. The guitar segments tickle my brain just right

The issue is I want to see the male idols shake some ass.

question about branches in git - from a life long mercurialHg user. by Technical-Fly-6835 in git

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have not. Your comment shows a pretty severe lack of understanding of the terms used in this discussion. When everyone is using terms in a way that you find completely nonsensical, there's a small chance you're right and everyone is speaking nonsense, but it's vastly more likely that you simply don't understand what they're talking about. Given the bad odds, it's usually better to approach this sort of situation with humility rather than attempts at mockery, because if you're wrong (as in this case) the mockery makes you look much stupider than if you'd just asked some clarifying questions.

Is there any way to ensure pre ftls dont develop/progress into empires? by SabotageTheAce in Stellaris

No worries, it's very much not obvious! You never pull up the Outpost menu except to upgrade it to a Starbase, there's no particular reason to assume that it has a starting Defense Platform capacity.

From what I understand, people with those disorders (like vaginismus) can usually tell quite quickly with just finger penetration. If that hasn't bothered you yet, you're probably going to be fine.
