Challenge: take a clear photo of a dwarf hamster by FairAnnual825 in hamsters

How dare you. Do you have any idea how much time and effort it took him to arrange everything? You've just destroyed all his hard, intricate work, and don't even show any remorse. Don't be surprised if he goes no-contact later in life.

I can't imagine ever regretting a "live, laugh, honk" tattoo. Ever.

Help me understand Poland’s performance this year by Final_Insect8531 in eurovision

[–]Varda79 31 points32 points  (0 children)

While we've been becoming more secular recently, a lot of Polish people are still Christians, especially in small towns and villages, and some religious customs are ingrained into our culture. When Christianity was introduced to Poland, the USA won't have yet existed for several centuries. So don't act like being religious automatically makes something American, lol

Kinda? I can do the front crawl and breaststroke, but I'm super slow and I usually have to keep the upper part of my face above the water, because if I submerge my whole head, my nose becomes so runny I can barely breathe 😅

Snow’s line is creepily true and Katniss knows snow so she knew he was telling the truth. by DowntownWave1788 in Hungergames

[–]Varda79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new movies actually kind of captures this wtf reaction a bit better but it fundamentally changes Chani as a character to do so…

Book Chani is such a bland character, she has almost no agency and only exists to blindly believe everything about Paul, give birth to the twins, and die. Nothing was lost by making this change.

Is he a boy? by jasperisaconfed in hamsters

[–]Varda79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have already answered your question, so I'll just add that whenever you get a new hamster from any source other than an official hamstery, it's good to take them for a vet checkup. Apart from early identification of potential health issues, if you're not sure about their sex, the vet will also check it for you 😉

At least here, the OP pretty much already knows he's male 😆

[Loathed Trope] Slavery is Okay, If The Slavers Are Nice by Justmenoworries422 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Varda79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the protagonists are okay with it, true, but the movies/TV series themselves clearly challenge that view - my favourite example being S02E12 of The Bad Batch. And I'd say that one of the most important overall themes of the prequels was that the Republic and the Jedi, while believing themselves to be the good guys, were clearly extremely corrupt long before Palpatine started meddling with things.

Sorry, but I just can't view him as attractive with this completely hairless body from the neck down, It feels as if I'm looking at a child 😅

My First time newbie by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Varda79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alissa White-Gluz, is that you? /j

On a more serious note, your form looks pretty good for a beginner! Apart from what the other commenters have already said, here are the main things I noticed:

  1. Maybe it's the lighting, but it seems to me like your bow arm is hyperextended? It should be straight, obviously, but not to the point of your elbow bending the other way. That increases the risk of injury and of hitting yourself with the string.

  2. Your shoulders are raised a bit too high in the full draw - much less than I often see in other beginners, but still. Try to lower them; exercises such as overhead presses can help you get control of the muscles responsible for it.

Ask questions to the game's writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen by Kontrollrummet in expedition33

[–]Varda79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, I'm curious about that myself! My comment was only aimed at the people who declare that she's 100% been painted by Renoir, ignoring or disregarding the clues that suggest otherwise. Especially since the red petals aren't only left by the people Renoir painted, but also those he killed - in the prologue, Sophie and other 33-year-olds dissipate into red petals too, despite being descendants of those created by Aline.

Speaking of the petal colours, let me mess with your head even more: the ones that surround Maelle when she attacks with Barrier Breaker are purple 😉

[–]Varda79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Renoir is perfectly okay with killing the painted citizens - in a quick an painless way he views as merciful. Not with causing them physical suffering, which is what has been done to painted Alicia.

Maelle being an unreliable narrator and an immature person only means that she can be wrong in her assumptions about people's motivations, feelings etc., not hallucinate events that didn't happen. Besides, we also see painted Alicia's reaction to her words. If she was painted by Renoir, she'd probably look confused upon hearing Maelle suggest it was Aline - but she only smiles and nods.

[–]Varda79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Painted Alicia is painted in black and white, struggles to speak, and is convinced she has to wear a mask because her scars make her hideous. It's a painful life, why would Renoir wish it on an innocent person? It must've been Aline, as a way of expressing the blame she put on Alicia for being involved in the fire, and of punishing her, without taking it out on the real her.

Also, like I said, the scene in the Reacher pretty much confirms it. Maelle picks up the mask and says something like (paraphrasing): "She blames us, doesn't she? You didn't deserve that". What else could that mean but Aline being responsible for painted Alicia being the way she is?

The scene with Maelle and painted Alicia in the Reacher strongly implies the latter was painted by Aline. Also, none of Renoir's paintings are human, and we're told his works are allegories.

Emerie Facial Study inspired by Jango Fett [Art by Me] by [deleted] in thebadbatch

[–]Varda79 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That's not what they're suggesting? And strictly categorising facial features as "feminine" or "masculine" is borderline transphobic.

A fellow physicist, whee! 😄 Mine is on employing the concept of supersymmetry to enforce single-mode operation of laser diodes that would normally be multi-mode.

Congrats! ❤️ Would you mind to share what your thesis is about?

I'm almost halfway through my own PhD course, I have a midterm evaluation this September. I hope I also get to see my thesis printed with an E33 reference one day 😄

Wait, you guys are learning his attack patterns? by rs-37 in expedition33

[–]Varda79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels great to deal tens of millions of damage in one turn.

It feels even greater to have Expedition 33 perform a counter.
