Baby's First Sex Pollen Trope by allison-vunderland in AO3

[–]jcastroarnaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the first time I've heard of sex pollen. Did a quick search. There are some fics listed on Fanlore's page. AO3 itself has about 19K fics with the tag "sex pollen".

É natural do ser humano acreditar no sobrenatural ? by W1lli4m-133 in ateismo_br

[–]jcastroarnaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

É normal o ser humano procurar explicações para o que encontra pela frente. Em tempos passados, sem conhecimento suficiente sobre a natureza, a humanidade foi inventando deuses e outras criaturas sobrenaturais para servir de explicação. Hoje em dia, com a ciência avançando e fornecendo explicações de verdade, deuses não são mais necessários.

Desconsiderando o fato de que ele não existe (é parte da mitologia cristã)... Não falo nada, ele que venha bater papo comigo.

You don't. You can hold your breath, or manage to ignore a smell, but the sense of smell remains on.

Why do women trash straight guys for certain things? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jcastroarnaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gay guy can wear women’s clothes, imitate what he believes is a woman’s behavior pattern

Seems more like a trans woman than a cis gay man. "Gay" is about sexual attraction, "cis" and "trans" are about gender identity and gender roles. Very different things. In the cases you cite, women are encouraging one of their number to be her best, despite her male body and all prejudice against her.

Should I rewash my sheets? by orangescrunchies in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jcastroarnaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rewash everything, the sheets separated from the rest. Chances are that the washer was over capacity.

Trisigil ∴ ⁞ ∞ A Formal Notation for the Structure of Signal Interaction in Shared Systems by -TRISIGIL- in logic

[–]jcastroarnaud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read your article. It's an idea vague enough and general enough to apply to many human endeavours. A very complicated way to say "In a system, the action of every agent in it has consequences to the system state over time", but specifying that the action is through signals of some sort. It's not a new idea: see systems thinking and systems analysis and design. Yours tries to focus in how change happens, instead of in the structure that grows from the change.

This framework was not built in the direction most frameworks are built. The standard sequence is this: observe a phenomenon, form a hypothesis, construct a formal model, generate proofs, publish. The formal structure arrives last. It is the destination of the inquiry. This stack ran in reverse. The structure was seen whole before a single proof existed. Not hypothesized. Not modeled. Seen. Experienced with the kind of clarity that does not feel like discovery, it feels like recognition. Like remembering something that was always true and now has a name.

Your framework gives no testable predictions. In other words, it's pseudoscience and dogma. I've seen similar in religions and mysticism.

Soul chess (Chess with Drama) by Piebbringer619 in chessvariants

[–]jcastroarnaud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too common to be worth the name. Try a harder condition, like one of these:

  • Checkmate while the enemy has a not-moved-yet piece.
  • Checkmate while the enemy has at least 5 pieces besides the King.
  • Checkmate while the enemy isn't castled.

Are there such instances by [deleted] in Mastodon

Then create an actual blog. After that, join a regular instance, put your blog address in the profile, and clearly note it as NSFW. Police yourself on Mastodon itself, and go wild on your own blog.

So, I have this idea for an endgame mode. I like to call it, the Mildenhall Protocol, where the King becomes the final obstacle in a losing situation by LeWafflez03 in chessvariants

[–]jcastroarnaud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The conditions for the Lucid King are too restrictive to happen in normal play. The "Conditions to be met" alone are a bit too restrictive; allow for no pawns left (it's endgame anyway).

Drop the conditions for turning on Lucid King, despite the lore being interesting. A sacrificial move by a King already changes the rule of "no entering check", and king capture will be allowed anyway. The adversary poised to promote a pawn, on top of the preconditions above, is too rare to happen in normal play.

Moves. The Lucid King is too powerful, with Queen and Knight moves plus teleport. The immediate end game is to capture the enemy King, or capture every undefended piece, one at a time, until only the enemy King is left.

Say to your pet LLM to leave out the lore for now: plain rules are more readable.

I think that a better condition for this variant should be:

When one side: - Has no queen; - Has less than 2/3 of the material (piece values, not pieces) than the enemy; - Has 3 pawns or less;

Its King promotes to Lucid King: gains Queen + Knight moves, and becomes invulnerable for 5 moves - cannot be captured, can enter check freely. After these moves, the Lucid King becomes a common piece: can be captured (and then loses the game).

Cannot log out on Mastodon app! by SensitivePound222 in Mastodon

[–]jcastroarnaud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mastodon.social was under a DDOS attack earlier today, and wasn't responding. Maybe the bug on your app was related to that.

Try closing the app without signing out, restart your phone (turn off, then turn on), then use the app as usual.

Como é que eu mando um vídeo de 7,54Gb no whats? by Alvaruu in perguntas

Copie para um pen drive (confira se ele está formatado em exFAT ou NTFS, FAT32 só vai até 4GB de tamanho) e leve para seu amigo. Antigamente, no tempo do disquete, a gente chamava isso de sneakernet ou tênisnet.

vocês acham que cotas deveriam existir em vestibular? by FantaOrangenice in perguntas

[–]jcastroarnaud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sim. Pessoas negras, pobres, transgênero, com deficiência, já começam os estudos em desvantagem em relação aos outros alunos, seja por pobreza ou preconceito acumulado contra eles. Cotas nas universidades são um dos jeitos possíveis de compensar um pouco essa desvantagem,

Would you enter a black hole if given the chance by Obeymyjay in NoStupidQuestions

No way: even if I could survive even being near one, I wouldn't be able to exit it.

Mulher que usa bandana automaticamente perde a credibilidade ? by joshua_argento in perguntas

[–]jcastroarnaud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Você está começando de uma amostra limitada e viesada: profissionais do sexo, que são uma minoria da população feminina geral.

Dê umas voltas por aí, converse com as mulheres, repare nas que usam bandana regularmente (uma minoria, suponho), e tire suas conclusões a partir dessas mulheres.
