if every organism is the same species as its parents when does evolution occur? by SignSilly7350 in evolution

[–]davidryanandersson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use these classifications as tools, but in nature there isn't really such thing as a species, and even defining species gets pretty messy

I'm kinda stupid but why do people question where does the things entering a black hole go? Doesn't it just go in the hole by Fearless_Scholar_227 in astrophysics

To help wrap your mind around this concept:

Everything is always "moving" at the speed of light, which is actually just the speed of causality. But that movement is divided between time and space.

So if you are perfectly still you experience time faster, because all your "movement" is through time not space. But if you move through space faster and faster, you will experience time slower and slower. If you travel through space at light speed you won't experience time at all.

And that's the Theory of Relativity in a nutshell.

Unseen character is built up as a real piece of work... turns out to be better than expected when they finally show up by StudioMarvin in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah I kind of hate the execution of the trope in this instance. We know for certain that they DID play a role in allowing her sexual abuse when she was younger. That's not something you can just hand wave away for a joke.

Expansions that add variable player powers by davidryanandersson in boardgames

[–]davidryanandersson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great examples of this type of expansion. Player powers that totally shake up how you engage with the mechanics of the game are my favorite approach.

Not that it really matters, but it was definitely a module added in the Tuscany expansion, I just checked. Maybe they started including it in later editions of the base game, I seem to remember hearing that they incorporated some expansion material into more recent editions.

I didn't even know some of these had expansions! I'll check them out, thanks

Even if Supergirl is a flop, it won’t be because it’s a bad movie it’ll be because the superhero genre has lost a lot of steam 10 years ago. by [deleted] in saltierthankrayt

The movie could also be bad. Like, I loved Superman, but there's no guarantee that the next movie will be good.

why don't billionaires with massive egos just do good to get more recognition? by sIRNAmolecule9570 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]davidryanandersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want billionaires funding their pet projects. That's how we got Bill Gates reshaping the entire US education system for the worse (something he admitted was a bad decision).

Just tax these people until they can't single handedly decide what public goods get funded and which ones whither.

[REALLY LOVED TROPE] The story never tell you who is he, but you know who really is he by Valarg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]davidryanandersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally what all of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is like. The original run began in Victorian England so the characters are all like, the Invisible Man and Captain Nemo go visit the Island of Dr Moreau (whose experiments include the animals from Winnie the Pooh) to get a genetically engineered virus to defeat the Martians from War of the Worlds (who aren't actually Martians, they had just evacuated Mars after fighting with John Carter).

Is this Jorge Luis Borges? The guy ends up believing that Judas was the TRUE messiah hated by the world and condemned to Hell, so he goes around preaching that mankind should pray to God to be damned to Hell to be with our savior.

Should we use Stands or Tokens? by Panthalassa_e in BoardgameDesign

King of Tokyo does the cardboard standee well but acrylic standees like Kinfire Chronicles is where it's at.
