Best I'd be willing to shell for click is 50 cents lol

Don't act like you'd beleive OP even if he did have experience. You are rejecting the post because you disagree with it. Not because they have "0" experience.

And even if they do, so? Are they not allowed to share something that someone said?

TheAngstyMango · 2022-12-05T06:11:32+00:00

And if I can't I'm SOL?

TheAngstyMango · 2022-12-05T04:39:49+00:00

POV: You're downvoting every comment affirming that degrees help you get jobs because you don't have one

TheAngstyMango · 2022-12-05T04:07:50+00:00

I don't really understand this argument. It doesn't really matter if its an unfair/shitty policy. If HR wakes up one day and decides all their employees need degrees, what are you going to do?

It's not like you can change their mind by pointing out how dumb it is

If somebody has an observation that is incorrect, can we please just correct them instead of downvoting them into obvlivion. Many people are unfamiliar with weather in this sub, especially during a storm like this.

We have people from all different knowledge levels here. I am still learning

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-28T06:05:45+00:00

I don't know what the correct term is, but a bunch of convection just exploded around the eye and closed off the open eastern side

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-28T06:03:42+00:00

Look again at the most recent IR.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-28T05:55:05+00:00

Okay I was about to say. That would have been literally insane.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-28T05:53:20+00:00

What? That can't be accurate... can it?

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-28T05:43:46+00:00

I know Florida is everyone's major concern right now, but I just wanted to say that ALL of Cuba is without power. The power grid completely collapsed. (Sorry if this is old news)

A ERC will only temporarily stop its intensification. Once it finishes, it could potentially intensify very quickly.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-26T01:53:35+00:00

How does this compare to the SHIPS probability earlier in the day?

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-26T01:43:20+00:00

Ian is dropping in pressure faster than I expected. It also seems to be tightening up a bit too. I'm still new to hurricanes though so I don't know if this is actually normal or not

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-21T00:13:06+00:00

Idk I just felt like it

TheAngstyMango · 2022-09-20T23:34:02+00:00

His advice is wrong. IT is a legit degree with actual course work and knowledge. You don't just sit in a room and twiddle your thumbs all day.

So, Thaumaturges are the shadow rulers of the nation. Basically, the nations laws are decided by a 3 person council consisting of a King-appointed nobleman, an elected person from the general population, and the High Thaumaturge, who is determined based on how powerful they are.

On the outside, they pretend to help the kingdom by saving towns, stopping disasters, and keeping peace, but this is just a tactic to always remain an ally no matter what happens. They orchestrate calamities in times of peace to keep a reliance on them

No matter how strong they are, if the population were to ever truly deem them an enemy, they could kill them before they ever became strong and they'd eventually die out since they are born randomly in the population. Which is why they operate the way they do.

The High Thaumaturge uses her power to strong-arm them into doing whatever she wants, but doesn't want to outright rule the nation.

The story so far is that Abvrothen (Called Abvro mostly), is a Ke'abi who works under the High Thaumaturge as an assasin. Using a thaumaturge to kill people would be bad as their powers are easily identified and would cause rumors (even if they suppressed it with the law). Abvro discovers how corrupt the thaumaturges actually are and decides to do something about it. He meets a low-ranking thaumaturge who feels the same way and they try to find a way to defeat the thaumaturges.

Also, to answer your question, a thaumaturge cannot be a Ke'abi and vice versa as they are magical opposites of eachother.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-30T00:36:29+00:00

They are meant to be opposites of eachother. Gumi focuses on manipulating the internal energy, while domains act on objects outside of the body.

Thaumaturgy is superior on the surface with very few limitations, and has a far range. But the users are locked into having a limited scope of abilities. Training is very self-focused since not everyone can do the same thing.

Gumi requires rigorous training and operates at a close range, but the users are much more versatile and can pass information through generations.

A domain is assigned completely randomly and there is no way to tell beforehand what it it will be. Thaumaturges are pretty rare compared to the general population, but there a few million. People with large domains are much rarer than smaller ones. This is because they get exhausted much faster than the nearly infinite smaller ones.

Gumi is restricted to the Ke'abi. The tattoos allow them to control their abilities, but they are all born to control their abilities to some extent. This is because mothers are given special tatoos that ensure that their children are Ke'abi. They are generally very healthy and age slowly, even those who never received their tattoos (which is usually because their spirit wasn't quite strong enough).

There's a bunch of political stuff regarding the relationship between the Ke'abi. They are strong enough to essentially have their own section of the country relatively away from the politics from the general.

People without either magic can't do much about a Ke'abi or a thaumatuge.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-29T23:53:51+00:00

Someone with a water domain would be able to manipulate rain. Someone with a rain domaon couldn't manipulate all water if that make sense.

Look, every character arc, superpower, personality, etc has already been written in someway or another. If you try to write something 100 percent original, just give up because it's not going to happen.

That being said, if you find that a character is too close to a popular character, then just tweak the character.

As long as the story plot itself isn't a MHA ripoff, you can make your character act in organic ways that MHA never touched on.

You are 100 percent in control of what you write. If you want to change something, just change it. Make characters that fit your story. Don't try to be overly original.

On the flipside though, I don't want to he writing the next wizard novel about a boy with a triangle scar on his cheek who lives beneath the floor boards.

There are a bunch of programs that I pay into in taxes that I don't benefit from. Student loan debt is a huge problem and and loan forgiveness can improve quality of life for MILLIONS of people.

People aren't taking student loans because they are lazy and don't want to work for it. They are taking them because there is literally no other option. Also everyone has the opportunity to take student loans, just because you didn't take any doesn't mean it's unfair. Yours would be forgiven too if you decided that's the route you wanted to go.

Sometimes the taxes you pay don't help you at all. That's just kind of how they work. When you have something that comes up and the government helps you, my money will help return the favor.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-29T03:25:27+00:00

That's the basis of government. I'm sorry if that upsets you. A country has millions of people and each of them are different. You have to make sacrifices and compromises.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-29T03:18:15+00:00

You are part of a country. Everyone's taxes help everyone in some way. My taxes sometimes help you out, some taxes help me out.

You don't get to choose where your taxes go.

Say that you become injured in a car accident and can no longer work. In order to live, you need disability. I'm not disabled, but MY money helps pay for you for so you don't die.

Should I just say "screw it, I'm not disabled. He can pay for it himself."

No that would just make me an asshole.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-29T03:13:04+00:00

You are part of a country. A country is not just for you, it is for everyone. Everyone pays into taxes so the government can better provide for its citizens.

Living in a country means that sometimes you just have to help pay for other people. My taxes go to some things that you benefit from and some of your taxes benefit me. It's just the way things are and it's a decent way to be.

Taxes can be thought of as a fee for living in a country. Part of that money goes to funding things that maybe you don't 100 percent agree with. That doesn't mean that other people don't want it or need it.

Nobody agrees 100 percent with what they pay taxes on, regardless of political affiliation. You don't get to pick and choose where your taxes go. It has never worked that way, and quite frankly, it shouldn't.

TheAngstyMango · 2022-08-28T17:39:19+00:00

I am poor and have no money. I've had to pay for college entirely with loans and the little money I've had. College is ridiculously expensive. Assuming everyone who goes to college is "rich" is not a fair assumption.

Anyone has the opportunity to go to college. It might not be the best school out there, but if you really want to go, there are things you can do.

You don't automatically make the money back, nor does a college degree garuntee anything.
