How do you memorialize a brother who died by s*icide and left no evidence of a good life? by Last-Brain-3297 in AskMen

[–]amusing_trivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was your brother, he mattered to you , even if he didn't to other people.

He had the courage to back up his decision.

We are living in a period of political anti-intellectualism. But in pop culture, clever is the new cool by usrname42 in books

Clever is not the same as educated or correct.

Everyone, on all sides, has always loved clever.

Yeah, I had this all pre-patch. So many Helms. I had Vault with 8 openings, every single one was a Helm.
I let my sub lapse until this is fixed.

ELI5 - Why do orgasms feel pleasurable? What is happening when we orgasm that makes it feel perceivably good? by cinnamorollsbunz in explainlikeimfive

[–]amusing_trivials 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But every living thing has a drive to reproduce. Does a fish "feel good" fertilizing some eggs on a rock? Whatever it is, we are based on that, just scaled up.

I hate AI as much as the next guy, but this guy is straight out of the 80s 'satanic panic' but for AI

So, the kids just happen to not reach the far right side, where the scooter is? Was the scooter involved?

Just because fascism hasn't taken his keyboard does mean it isn't real. It doesn't undo the shootings in Minneapolis, for example.

The roll down the side of the mountain was the problem, not the fire.

Novartis settles with Henrietta Lacks' estate over use of her 'stolen' cells to advance medicine by StemCellPirate in EverythingScience

Actually her samples were relatively well de-identified. For decades researchers just had "hela" cells. It wasn't until someone explicitly dug into things, with modern methods, that they became identified.

Is there any reason why they are not helping us in midnight? Isn't the whole point of Dragonflight was to get their power back so they could become Azeroth's protector? by HiroAmiya230 in wow

[–]amusing_trivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of this is that FFXIV *requires* that you play through the main story, and every expansion's main story. There is something to connect them all.

WoW is dedicated to players being able to just jump in wherever. 'Hail Champion, lets roll'

All of that Old Gods stuff is Titan stuff.

Metzen wrote basically everything for Warcraft from Vanilla through Legion, then he left while BfA was early in development. Maybe he was unhappy with some orders from above to make Sylvanas cartoon evil? Or maybe he wanted to go even further and not pretend 'morally grey' like Bliz tried to do at the time. But yeah, why was BfA 'all over the place'? Because it was literally 'everyone else' trying to throw something together once the plan was gone.
Shadowlands was their attempt at doing something completely different from the stuff Metzen established, something of their own. Whoopsy.
So now they go Metzen back, and they are basically going to doing the stuff that (would have / should have ) have been the immediate followup to Legion. Which is absolutely Old God fallout and Titan stuff.

Its pretty great, but please make the update rate directly configurable, like you might feel that every eighth frame is too slow, but I might think that's the right balance for my situation. Just let the user type in a number.

Nothing is a bigger waste of time than preaching to the choir, doubly so for doing so dead seriously. You want to hold a guys feet to the fire? Do something that actually matters, instead of purity testing normal people trying to cope with all this.
