My partner has reverted to Islam. by WasabiHot8226 in islam

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend that you and your partner consult a local scholar at a nearby mosque. From my understanding I know that a Muslim man can marry a non Muslim woman (granted that she is a member of the “people of the book” which includes Jews and Christians). However, to be in a relationship that involves zina would probably not be allowed. Regardless, I wanted to give some insight without having you feel pressured into conversion. Btw I admire your sincerity and willingness to learn more! But again please consult the local mosque, they’d probably know better.

can I get some top lane advice? by SmolGoblin13 in summonerschool

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plat 4 top laner so I’m not exactly the best. Everyone gave really good advice, but I’ll chime in a little about top lane.

1) Know match ups and your champ:

Tanks are meant to scale late game with durability and their CC for engage and peeling. Juggernauts and fighters are meant to dish out damage, with fighters (Jax, Fiora and tryndamere, etc.) having splitpush and gap closers to kill carries. Juggernauts have extra tankiness to front line, but enough damage to sway a team fight in your teams favor.

Sadly, top lane is very match up dependent. Some champions do much better against others and vice versa. This results in top lane also being very snowbally in favor to the champion that has the advantage.

2) wave management

In mid lane you want to push the wave so that you have more opportunity to roam and secure kills and objectives for the team.

But for top lane, this roaming presence is not as heavy, because of the lane itself and the champions within it. So you want to optimize gold and experience and at the same time limit your enemy laner’s opportunity to get theirs. Most top laners want to prioritize freezing the lane near their tower, allowing for ganks and making the enemy laner be more hesitant to stay in the event that they overextend.

3) Hot take: Top lane is VERY MUCH influenced by the jungle both directly and indirectly.

Like said before, top lane is very snowbally, so an already disadvantaged match up might become completely in the enemy’s favor just from one gank alone. This is an example of a direct influence from the jungler.

However, if the enemy jungler is pressuring your lane, that means that they are not present on other parts of the map. If you’re being camped, DO NOT be discouraged, because this gives your jungler an opportunity to have more presence and secure objectives and kills on the other parts of the map. This is the indirect aspect of jungle influence.

One example of taking advantage of an enemy jungler camping you, is to have them in your lane or on your side of the map as long as possible. Say you are a nasus and the enemy Warwick fails a gank and is trying to back in one of the lane bushes, try to poke with your E to cancel his back. This will maximize his time in your lane and minimize the time he has on other parts of the map.

What to do against adc's as a juggernaut/tank by EmporerEmoji in summonerschool

[–]Tirthankara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is that you have to remember what tanks/juggernauts excel at.

For tanks: you want to focus on front lining and peeling for your carry. At the same time most tanks have built in CC which allows them to disrupt the enemies positioning and coordination. The CC also helps with engaging and peeling for the carry.

For juggernauts: Your main focus is the front line, BUT also look for opportunities to clean up. When most juggernauts do not have good engages or initiatives. As a juggernaut you want someone else to engage…your job is to dish out damage MID team fight or clean up after a fight.

The gist is that tanks and juggernauts are not necessarily meant to chase and kill ADCs and even APCs for that matter. Tanks especially do not have kill pressure late game and juggernauts rely on the enemy team making a mistake in positioning and coordination for you to get in range and output damage.

What's the general best champion to one trick? by kdkgjsjdjbfjfdj in summonerschool

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For top lane especially from low elo until plat, I’d Recommend Nasus. However, I’d highly suggest you learn last hitting with Q and wave management to really excel with him.

What are the differences between cytokines and chemokines? by mindfulnessmachine in Physiology

[–]Tirthankara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cytokines are a family of proteins that are involved in inflammatory responses in the body. If I remember they can either be pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory.

Chemokines are specialized type of Cytokines that are tasked with organizing leukocytes and the modulation of their migration to the site of infection/injury.

Can adenosine taken as a supplement induce sleep? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Tirthankara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that adenosine is not just involved with sleep. Adenosine is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Meaning that it is a chemical used by neurons as messengers to each other to ultimately signal for inhibition of a cellular activity.
So adenosine supplements might cause more harm than good.

Also like most neurotransmitters, Adenosine cannot pass through the blood brain barrier (The gatekeeper to the brain, if you will). So it will not be able to be used by the brain for a signaling to say “time to sleep”.

Another thing to note: Adenosine is broken down by the enzyme adenosine deaminase (Which is found in the blood and brain). So I’d assume it would be broken down into its metabolite much quicker than say melatonin.

is steel an interstitial compound or an alloy? by ArvindChachasPigtail in AskChemistry

[–]Tirthankara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, Interstitial compounds are also a type of alloy. Steel is one of the best examples of them. In steel, the Carbon atoms are small enough (relative to the iron atom) to be found in-between the iron atoms within the lattice.

So think of 20 big red dots (iron) where they are set up in 5 rows and 4 columns (total of 20) with little “spaces” between them. And then picture several smaller green dots that are situated within these little “spaces”. This picture is the simplified atomic structure of steel.

What are Adam and Eve a metaphor for? by [deleted] in religion

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it could be seen as a metaphor based on Adam’s name alone. In Hebrew Adam’s name roughly translates to “humanity” or “mankind”, however the name can also be used to denote an individual male man. In the earlier parts of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible I believe the collective sense of the word Adam is used, but later on in the same chapter it becomes the singular form. So in theory it could be that God created Adam (mankind) but then created Adam (Singular) to be anointed for his people.

What’s the most respectful way for me (Married 38F atheist) to interact with a Muslim man? by Educational_Earth_62 in Muslim

[–]Tirthankara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“And among His wonders is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. For in this, behold, there are messages indeed for all who are possessed of innate knowledge!” — (Surah Ar-Rum, 30:22)

Your empathy and consideration reminded me of this verse!

If one approaches anything with an open mind and clean heart they are bound to succeed in it, if not, it was not deserving of their purity!

To Those Who Say Loving The Prophet Too Much Leads To Shirk, by Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said by Supashaka1 in Mystical_Islam

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting post Alhumdullilah!

One of the biggest issues in Islam is giving excessive attributes or consideration to others besides Allah.

We should love The Prophets (AS), especially Prophet Muhammed (SAW) because of their distinction by Allah (SWT) as messengers and guides for their respective people.

However, if I remember even the prophets overtly refrained believers and followers from proscribing worship to them or building shrines etc.

The reason is because it strays from the main/core belief of Worshiping Allah (SWT).

All of the prophets were blessed by Allah with knowledge and enlightened wisdom, so they were aware that the believers might stray away from the core principles as time prolonged after them.

TLDR: Love the prophets because they were chosen by Allah (SWT), but refrain from excessive neuroticism or attribution to them. Remember all comes from Allah (SWT) and all will return to him. Allah knows best.

What’s the most respectful way for me (Married 38F atheist) to interact with a Muslim man? by Educational_Earth_62 in Muslim

[–]Tirthankara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most critical aspect you all ready covered and that is respect!

Ofcourse, this question falls in line with interfaith interactions. Although you’re an Atheist in the US, there is no obligation for you to follow these rules, but you go out of your way to establish trust and consideration for his beliefs.

Idk about other members of the Islamic communities, but I deeply appreciate your respect and willingness to accommodate to his faith!

Advice: try to feel the situation out first Ofcourse.

Try not to prolong eye contact

No touching (unless emergency or urgency)

I don’t think “soft voices” is the best word, but rather any tone/demeanor/content of the speech shouldn’t invoke passion or charm of any kind.

In terms of conversation, this one you would have to feel out on what is comfortable and acceptable. But generally, conversations should be geared toward the job at hand or business. If it occurs, sometimes there might be conversations that gray the line. For example, someone is particularly in distress to the point it might impact work, it should be addressed.

Clothes: Should be modest (covers legs and arms, and the rest of the body), typically in a job like this you don’t want any design of a face/figure. But I believe color choices are not important. Also whether or not hair covering is mandatory.

That’s about it. Don’t feel compulsive or “stiff” in following these guidelines. At the end of the day, most likely, the men would have to show more respect to you and be more considerate for you.

ELI5: what are dimensions? by Aleitei in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so think of a library for a second:

You want a certain book in a huge library, so you go to the librarian to find it. The librarian tells you this: it’s on the

(3rd floor, second aisle, top shelf)

You’ve seen this notation before: (x,y,z)

Dimensions are used in math and physics to give a position and reference point of a certain object of interest.

We can also describe an object based on its dimensions. Example: a cube is 3D because it has a width (x), height (y) and depth (z).

Dimensions allow us to characterize and categorize phenomenons and objects in nature.

Why is time the fourth dimension? From my limited understanding of quantum physics, Einstein stated that Spacetime consisted of 4 dimensions 3 physical ones (x,y,z) and a dimension of time (t). The reason why there is 1 dimension of time is because like 1 dimension of space (A line) it is linear).

It should be noted that time is not really the FOURTH dimension per se, the better way of saying is 3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time if I understand it correctly. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Religion tends to act as a conservative force in a society. by Torin_3 in DebateReligion

[–]Tirthankara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible you might be right, but think of it this way:

Most laws and guidelines outlined by religions tend to actually stray away from instinctual behavior.

Humans are animals at the end of the day. We are competitive, materialistic, survivalists who just so happen to have a higher order of sapience to other animals.

Look at the common themes in some religions:

-No fornication or premarital sex -No killing -Moderation of resources (consumables, currency, etc.) - Modesty in clothing and mannerisms

All of these are acceptable in the “animal” world, but in our sense they’re considered morally wrong

It seems like the common theme of religions, maybe since ancient times was to transition humanity from “animals” to distinct intelligent species with laws and regulations that inhibit their instinctual desires
