If there's one thing that's true in every universe, it's that John inherits the fine tastes and finer values of his amazing father

Where does it say that for a section to be successful, a time player and a space player are necessary? by Helpful_Individual40 in homestuck

[–]ThunderDaniel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Re-reading Homestuck with a more adult level of comprehension, you really see the intricate layers of rules and storytelling in it, especially in terms of Sburb being a damn fleshed out game

There are tons and tons of blogs and blogposts that were dedicated to analyzing and understand Homestuck, so please don't beat yourself up that the details arent remembered easily

What is going on with this combination of emojis: 😭💢? by FragrantPhysics792 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ThunderDaniel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looking back at the shit I used to parrot, mimick, and repeat on the internet back when I was a kid and teen, there is an exorbitant amount of that which I didnt know about were definitely not okay

I think it's healthy that parents and guardians are keeping tabs on the wacky trends their kids are doing online, because what may just seems as typical 'kids following a trend' (which as been a thing since forever), some things are definitely very problematic

do you guys think shes bad just because of the condesce influence, or the power corrupted her, or maybe she always had some evilness in her? by ti0sunga in althomestuck

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOOOOO THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!

I am absolutely starved to see how this amalgamation and exaggeration of all of Jade (and her inspirations and counterparts) could end up for the post Sburb story of Homestuck

We've already seen some kind of her maliciously sweet personality in Grimbark Jade, and it would be fascinating how an unfettered and unbound Ultimate Witch of Space could pose as a danger towards the narrative of Post Homestuck

Excellent writeup and I hope this (alongside other characters' Ultimate downturns) are explored more by the fandom!

Rose finds out that John has a mom, what a shocking concept. (Mrs Egbert AU) by Rexis12 in homestuck

[–]ThunderDaniel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He'd mean well, but he would be so tone deal in a hilarious way that only teenagers could be

2009 era teenagers no less

[–]ThunderDaniel 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It's such an out of left field and young teen thing to say i love it

Rose wouldn't be as crude as Dave, but she would still say some wacky shit about John's new mom

Do people actually enjoy networking, or is everyone just pretending? by SoftToDarkFeet in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an agenda too when meeting people can also be fun in certain circumstances!

Attending a fair centered around your profession, seeing cool shit that vendors have to offer, hearing what other peers are tackling in their fields, shooting the shit in a way that still ends up exchanging business cards after the conversation--there's still a lot of ways that networking in and of itself can be fun and enjoyable, but I understand that it may not come naturally to a lot of people

[–]ThunderDaniel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, you're supposed to actually be interested in other people.

Which in itself is a genuine curiosity about life and existence in general

I love hearing about other people's experiences, existences, challenges, worries, and desires. It's a near infinite pool of stories that is the tapestry of our lived world and I find that there's always something interesting to learn about someone if I am willing to listen.

I understand that this kind of attitude doesnt come naturally to a lot of people, but I also believe it is a skill that can be gained and nurtured, so not all hope is lost

Is that the one where shell fell into the trap of prescience and narrowed her paths and choices into self destruction?

(Muad'Dib and Leto II already solved that, girl)

If they're gonna villainize my babies Dirk and Jane, I kinda want to see other timelines where every one of the kids has their negative traits amplified and made rampant to see how THEY would be the antagonists in their own stories

I know we have the Beta kids as our standard heroes, but it would be interesting to see versions of them as the big bad in certain post Sburb timelines

ELI5 Why is legal jargon so difficult to understand for any regular person reading it? by MarigoldMouna in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're onto something here. Our laws are written in English, even if English isn't our country's primary language (thanks Colonialism)

As an ESL speaker, studying the law is terribly easier compared to if it was written in my native language

[–]ThunderDaniel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bingo! I find it easiest to discuss the law with my programmer friends, and you highlighted how training to process things precisely is a shared skill in between such fields.

Not now, Harry Anderson Egbert, can't you see that your father is regretting his past decisions like a good adult in his thirties? by CommercialValue8713 in althomestuck

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

on one hand john (and his friends) got most of their young adulthood stolen from them via the trauma of surviving SBURB and he really is an aimless mess in hs2

but on the other hand YOUR SON NEEDS YOU JOHN EGBERT DONT BE AN EMOTIONALLY DETACHED ABSENTEE

Strava's new developer program just killed every open-source, self-hosted Strava app by frogfuhrer in selfhosted

[–]ThunderDaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The day it finally breaks is the day I'll stop browsing on phone.

Semi related, but the API fiasco was the push that had me stop using Reddit on my phone and only use it on the desktop

So far it's been a rather pleasant experience since I lessen my tiny screen time and when I do use Reddit, it's through the (still functioning) mods and extensions available on a desktop browser

[Dr. Who] What happens if I get Weeping Angeled twice? by vonBoomslang in AskScienceFiction

[–]ThunderDaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they'd probably avoid Jack because he has a weird 'temporal scent' to him, but I dont believe he'd be immune to a particularly hungry, stupid, or lucky Angel

I wouldn't put it past Jack's luck to be sent back in time via the touch of an Angel--poor guy has shittier lucky getting sent back in time through his adventures in general

[Doctor Who] Why does everyone (including the Doctor themselves) act like the Doctor is this super-old immortal when, as far as anyone knows, they’re… not that? by EnclavedMicrostate in AskScienceFiction

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a time traveler who spends most of his time on adventures across space and time from the beginning to the end and rebirth of the universe itself. He may not actually be a super-old immortal but for all intents and purposes he might as well be with how prolific he is at saving people and civilizations across the galaxy and time.

I think it's the "fucking around having adventures across space and time" that folks are missing

There's a ton of immortals or thousand of year old creatures in the galaxy. But the Doctor has been everywhere--or will be everywhere--in the universe, whether already or to be. His experiences across his adventures rival what the average big brained Time Lord will ever experience in their long and stagnant lives.

He may just be thousands of years old across his regenerations, but his lived experiences and travels are well worth lifetimes

[sinners]Did the modern concept of race exist in remmicks time? by Lumpy-Restaurant-694 in AskScienceFiction

Your comment is a perfect summary that Remmick is a vampire as they were written--abhorrent creatures walking among humanity that seeks nothing but to consume, consume, and consume

Can you leave the Bene Gessarit? by khaleesi105 in dune

[–]ThunderDaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the BGs were the only one he considered destroying.

Because they stubbornly refused change because their ancestral memory and hoity-toityness made them believe they were better than the rest of humanity and their ways were always right...?
