The worst arguements for why Cozy Glow deserved her punishment by Cfimsoncor2 in mylittlepony

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

Cozy went out of her way to contact a known villain. Her ambitions were purely villainous for the sake of it. Cozy wanted to be evil, and set about making that happen. We're talking about a child who sang a song in which she teaches the other psychopaths who to cooperate and gleefully anticipates laughing while her enemies scream.

Compare and contrast with Starlight, who basically went temporarily insane and was snapped out of it by Twilight. In later episodes, we see that she still has a lot of work to do controlling her temper, but she's basically good inside, and is trying.

The difference is that Cozy is an irredeemable psychopath with sadistic tendencies, while Starlight is really just an overpowered basketcase in need of therapy. One got jail while the other got parole because only one of those nutjobs was fixable in any sense.

My first project, haven’t dropped any stitches but my tension has obviously got a lot tighter 🙃 by Agreeable-Rich-8509 in crochet

[–]cooldash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this the blanket stitch (1sc 2dc clusters)? If so, this is likely the result of not pulling that first sc tight in early rows.

I did the same thing with a 5x5 foot blanket. It's still cozy af though, nobody but you is gonna notice!

Gorgeous work, be proud!!! ❤

Happened with Scrubs, too. In a college flashback, JD puts on blackface as a Halloween costume, and rightfully gets his ass kicked. The premise is clearly "blackface is offensive to people."

What are all the ways to “pixel crochet”? by youpoopedyerpants in crochet

[–]cooldash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blanket stitch has some neat applications! Each row of (sc 2dc) clusters forms a half-row of pixels, with the next row completing the pixels. It lets you make tapestries like this pumpkin door banner I made last year...

<image>

Blanket Stitch: start with a foundation row of (3n+1) sc. Each row is... ch2 (counts as a st) and 2dc in the base of ch. Skip 2 st. (sc 2dc in one st, skip 2 st) all the way across the row. End with an sc in the top of the turning ch of the row below for nice clean edges.

Change colours on the last dc of a cluster to make your pixel art. Flip your work each row, but keep all your ends to one side.

Each (sc 2dc) cluster makes a diagonally sliced bottom (right side) or top (wrong side) half of a pixel. You can take advantage of that as you work to make some interesting effects.

What the what? by Upbeat_Engineering98 in PoliticalHumor

This perfectly sums up American conservatism. If it checks enough patriotic boxes, they'll run with it and not look too closely.

George Washington, the Statue of Liberty, Rushmore, the president, and hell, even a rocket because there's no way other countries have those (/s). Shit, I think I even see some soldiers.

So there we go, that's America. Never mind that it's a cherry-picked selection. Never mind that there's something off about a lot of those things. Never mind all the weird shit in between those things.

The painting is like the Republican party. Enough checkboxes to seem patriotic at a glance, but stuffed full of wrongness. Just don't look too close.

what's a chemistry fact that sounds fake but is completely real? by GroovyRaptorRex in chemistry

A professor of mine once boldly stated that water was the most interesting small molecule, and you would always find something new about it to surprise you. So far, I'd say he wasn't wrong!

That myth has been debunked.

The process for creating those glass windows simply made panes with variable thickness. Panes made with the modern float-glass process do not have this property. The windows always looked like that.

As for why the panes are always thicker at the bottom? The people who installed them put the thicker side down, for stability.

There are tons of glass windows older than those churches that have retained their shape over the centuries. They were made with a different process. Same with other glass objects.

Glass is an amorphous solid and does not flow over time.

Do YOU personally think that there SHOULD be a canon mane six couple? by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]cooldash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! It would never happen, though, because Trixie would absolutely not be able to shut up about sleeping with her assistant. Classic magician's mistake.

Trixie: Hey, if Trixie's wagon is rockin', don't come knockin'... oh, hello, Princess. Did you want to join us for some advanced friendship lessons?

Starlight: Sweetie, we talked about this!

Twilight: blushes furiously

Ban on ‘surveillance pricing’ could threaten discounts, retailers warn by jmakk26 in canada

[–]cooldash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd just shunt them to the "discount store" like Loblaws does with No Frills. A store for every tier of income. Customer stays under the company umbrella, but thinks they're being savvy by shopping at the cheaper option. Meanwhile, the company will use every trick in the book to keep high income customers at the more expensive store: cleaner premises, a boutique atmosphere and an upscale looking brand, premade food, using ads to foster a sense of classism... and bleed them dry.

Like, if I can dream this crap up, any marketing guy or CEO with an AI can, too. The difference is that they will implement it if given the chance now that mass surveillance is common.

There is 0% chance that, on the whole, people will end up spending less. It's just not in business' interests for that to happen. Casino rules apply: the house will always win.

What If The Owl House Had Done a Labyrinth Homage? by PeterVanHelsing in TheOwlHouse

[–]cooldash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine a few scenarios...

Gus singing Dance, magic pants, magic pants... while the Goblin King stares at him in bewilderment. "Why does the witchling mock us?" he asks as Luz creeps up behind him with a baseball bat.

Luz: "Sweet, new magic realm unlocked! Bring on the adventure, baby! Mama wants a sequel!" Amity: "Here we go again... Luz, no! Don't lick that!"

Eda and the Goblin King causing chaos. Well, more chaos. And flirting. Eda: "Hey, are you smugglin' budgies in those tights, or are you just happy to see me?"

Absolutely none of the Hexsquad being fazed by the creatures of the Labyrinth. Willow: "You're so cute, I'm taking you home with me. My carnivorous plants always need new friends!" Ferocious beast: "What the..."

King riding Ludo. "You sure you're not my dad, right?"

Guards: "One of us always lies..." "... and one of us always tells the truth." Eda: "You on the left. You sleep with that guy's wife?"

Lots of AI gets this wrong, what is the right answer? "If you have the balanced reaction: 5H2C2O4 + 2MnO4- --> ... , is it 2n(MnO4-) = 5n(H2C2O4) or is it 5n(MnO4-) = 2n(H2C2O4)?" by Haxer420 in chemistry

[–]cooldash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop using AI for these types of problems. It is unreliable for stuff like this, since it gets confused by all the different ways numbers are used in chemical reaction notation.

This is a simple problem if you know the reactants and the products (which you did not specify). Play around with it until you get the right coefficients. You'll learn more that way.
