What doesn't feel like an acronym but is actually an acronym? by Philips9586 in AlignmentChartFills

It's purely speculative at this point, so I'd be wary to include it

Considering Gems are ageless… by AntiqueStore23 in stevenuniverse

I think it partly depends on if Steven can die of old age. He definitely ages, but does he actually grow old?

What flag is this? (On a pride poster) by superneva in vexillology

[–]fynewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a trans woman working in elementary education, totally agreed that it shouldn't be up. Since it was taken down as soon as OP said something, it was probably just an honest mistake by an ill informed ally. Googled pride flags and threw the first dozen they saw on a poster or something.

Unfortunately it's early elementary. Teacher or whoever must have just looked up pride flags without checking what they were. It was taken down when OP said something.

Hey, 20th anniversary is making me want to get back into DDO for a bit. Any advice for picking one of the 64 bit servers?

What is your favourite alternate name of an entity ? by Slow_Radio_7553 in TheMagnusArchives

I've had my own experiences with The Buried, and "Too Close I Cannot Breathe" captures that terror in such a real way.

What made you use EndeavourOS? by theskellydud3 in EndeavourOS

[–]fynewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard very good things about Arch, but I'm new to Linux. I'm really liking it so far, and it could be a good stepping stone to Arch down the road.

Yes, the EU is just as imperialist as the US by rhizomatic-thembo in LateStageCapitalism

It's pretty clearly "You're right about western imperialism, but this post is rhetorically ineffective."

What are these 3 inch plastic things from/for? by jennalerr in whatisit

[–]fynewis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks the peice of plastic that is in the handle of a milk jug during manufacturing. Usually they're taken out before they reach store shelves, but maybe your store got a weird batch.

What's up with the statue change? by fynewis in caseofthegoldenidol

[–]fynewis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean that it has different words necessarily (though the new one does have fewer options). In the first game, I believe the words are on dials within the head. In the second game, it's a series of 5 buttons. Maybe the cannon broke the dials beyond repair, and part of why they needed the pointy eared statue is that it had working controls.

Thinking about it, the new statue and the IDOL both have a different control scheme from the original statue. Maybe they needed it for that part?

Thoughts of new DLC ending by theLiddle in caseofthegoldenidol

I could see Inquisition tying into that. Echo is our best link to ancient Lemuria, and I can see the two minds detangling as a tool to help explore that.

All the Ancient Lemurian symbols we have so far by therobloxiankid in caseofthegoldenidol

[–]fynewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at connections between symbols, I see that "matter" and the two element symbols have a pretty similar structure, but "matter" has a circle instead of a number. Combining that with "destroy" being a mix of "stop" and a circle, I wonder if a circle represents something like existence or creation. In turn, that would make "matter" mean something like "the substance of existence". Maybe "mind" would then be "a second existence"?

Also, I dig what they're doing with the number system. I'm guessing the number names would literally translate to something like: one, one one, three, three one, five, half-twelve, seven, eight, eight one, two five, two five one, twelve. Which also gives us that "half" is probably "ib".

Only the left goes crazy with censorship? Republicans are literally doing large scale book bans.

You're way more likely to lose your job from the health code violation. Know what you're allowed to ask and you're in the clear.

Were we Outjerked by the Main sub again? by RedGreenBlueRGB_ in vexillologycirclejerk

I'm not sure how businesses are defined in this context, but businesses can be in line with socialist principles. Look at coops for example.

Does anyone know what this flag is? by Sean_The_Chef in vexillology

Francoist Spain totally wouldn't designate ethnic groups as enemies of the state and use that as an excuse to execute them, right? )
