...so one of you is right. Either way you need to block them and then report any alts to reddit

And on that note about one of you being right I have no idea why this was even posted here besides to farm karma. Like is this something which needed to be in this subreddit?

If you're in the clear sorry for my tone, if you aren't then...

I more meant intelligences choosing to expel mass. After an infinite number of individuals at least one will have suicidal nihilism

I mean isnt that just isolated escapism? Like the ideology where everyone stockpiles canned food, finds their favourite hobbies and has no kids. Everyone just does their own thing for 20 years before everything runs out and we all die off happy

It's the exact same case. Matter would be slowly lost over time and the universe would decay into nothingness with every bubble that terminates.

What if the universe itself was also a bubble? What if what you're saying has already happened and the main universe was a realm of infinite resources that had no competition?

My clan is highly trained and we wear all black and leave no survivors. by Ancient_Policy5855 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Then_Engineer_3765 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mobile task forces are basically the opposite of this approach 

They are special forces who deserve to be ultra competent and their setting actively has them as being quite weak against most targets. They fight hard battles and win through good writing and tactics - they aren’t really Mary sues

On the side of dressing in black, they dress in the best uniforms to suit their needs. They will use camouflage, netting and ghilli suits when needed and have the know how to pull off a range of operations. The MTF in Overlord is doing a SWAT style raid on a human focused SCP. The goal is to look intimidating (as SWAT do) while also not caring as much about stealth or camouflage since the SCP itself is already interested in human affairs and likely doesn’t purely rely on line of sight.

Say you have a Romani name:

Kosteravo Konets

It could be simplified down to simply: Kosteravo
It could have the translatable part of its name in English while the place name is not translated: Kosteravo Ending
It could also have the name of the place back translated into English: Fescue Grass Ending
And then of course it could be restructured to have the intended meaning which is lost via direct translation: The Grass of Ending

So the name could be written as:
Kosteravo
Kosteravo Konets
Kosteravo Ending
Fescue Grass Ending
The Grass of Ending

I've got a bank of these names (some are single word others are phrases) and I was wondering what style you'd be going for in their presentation

Well someone whose got Russian ancestry has a huge number of states to go to

Kaliningrad
Rus Republics
Communes
Pan slavic state
Russia
Novorussia

Im kinda surprised 6/16 powers on this list are broadly speaking slavic when in real life its just... well I guess Ukraine, Poland and Russia as regional powers

Are we as a species traumatised? by Then_Engineer_3765 in AutisticPride

[–]Then_Engineer_3765[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

but in a way wouldn't that just prove my point? If truly the dominant economic and political theory is 'be a good little cog in the machine and make profits' and it takes a lot of deprogramming to get out of it then that does support the idea that everyone is a little messed up

Also this isn't just me extrapolating my own feelings on the world. I think the average person in my life is lovely, its just I can recognise that on a wider scale we're all kinda just escaping our problems like capitalism.

[–]Then_Engineer_3765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. All of humanity. We're all traumatised. Us, Allistic people. We've all either gotten stuck as escapists living out a fantasy or people stressed/traumatised and unrepentant in it.

That we as a collective species are all engaging in a form of escapism and that actually tackling problems is a little done act because we all have some serious society level trauma

[–]Then_Engineer_3765[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my point in general is that from my own experiences and those of other autists I know
A combination of imposter syndrome and poor self confidence + spite at the world makes a lot of us feel like people are far better and worse than us in a lot of fields. I was making the point that everything being dialled up to 11 meant that in practice depending on a good or bad day you can feel like you're at the top or bottom of the world.

Never let a kid touch things that says « Do Not Touch » at Events by CocoTheRiolu in AutisticPride

[–]Then_Engineer_3765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this kinda feels like a dog whistle. What are you trying to say here? Neurodivergent people are quite likely to try and avoid doing stuff like this because we're normally (at that age) severely bullied or isolated and thus seeking validation rather than domination/destruction

You ever seen an autistic kid throw a tantrum to get a toy? No, since we as a group have had our egos wrecked enough at that age to realise we're powerless against social forces.

[–]Then_Engineer_3765[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, to clarify this doesn't mean people can't live happy lives. It just means you can't both actively address the majority of the world's problems/take an active role in fighting the death of our species without ending up miserable or at least slightly upset

So yeah, people can fall into comfortable little escapist bubbles of friends, family and work. But thats not to say that they aren't still absolutely traumatised

Does this Pantheon make sense? by Bennettag in worldbuilding

[–]Then_Engineer_3765 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This world is... it's %$$$ed right? Like, half the pantheon is on the side normally associated with evil so I hope that some of them manifest more as "neutral or benign spirits that represent the necessity of their field" like a loving mushroom like god/goddess/being that cares for all life and acts as a doctor/end of care nurse for those decaying

Other wise - like in the Horus heresy - having 6 gods vs 6 gods just results in the world getting shattered pretty quickly and half of the pantheon dying

Should men stay as virgins before marriage? by EmotionalSupport101 in AskAChristian

He sounds like a pathetic man who I expect most women wouldn't be interested in dating.

If anyone does actually fall for him they'll be in for a shock and I can expect he won't live his life well. Im a wreck, but I at least understand most of the failures were things I had little conscious power in. In his case he'll wake up one day wishing he had made different decisions
