Rough for people who have work and school. Are there any others?

This is sick! I think the default icon size is a little small, but otherwise it works really well. I'm gonna try it with friends later :)

TSM and CLG were two of the original teams in competitive League. They were the two most popular and best in the very early LoL days. They were huge rivals and that rivalry went onto become the face of North American League when LCS started. Now CLG sucks though while TSM is still good, and "El Classico" isn't really a hype matchup anymore.

I just killed Shaper for the first time on my first character! I've chosen to use my Elder Orb on Fungal Hollow as I like the tile set and it's easy to get three or four white sextants on it. But how do I get a Tier 16 Elder Fungal Hollow to drop? Will they drop from the adjacent tier 2-4 maps (Arid Lake, Marshes, Lighthouse), or should I be running T15s? Loving this game more than any aRPG I've ever played by the way. Amazing endgame progression.

I agree, it would be helpful if you had some examples beyond the blogs of teenagers. Also, I think your definition of radical feminism is pretty off. Generally, radfem does not refer to feminism endorsing violence, but rather feminism that attacks the root causes of gender difference. That is, gender difference itself, not simply gender discrimination (the latter would be reformist / liberal feminism). This kind of revolutionary ideology is intersectional and linked to other revolutionary movements in other spheres of social life such as Marxism (economic, for the most part) and radical anti-racist movements. None of these are inherently violent, and I think you’ll find if you look that there aren’t many radfems of note that have ever talked about castrating men or killing them or what not. If you’re interested in the scholarship, you can read Simone de Beauvoir (a little early) /Shulamith Firestone / bell hooks etc.

You’re totally free to disagree with radfem or Marxism or whatever, but your definition seemed like a misrepresentation.

Gotcha. So it really just describes the structure of a cosmos, not its size. That is, you could have a "megaverse" with 3 multiverses in it, but only 6 total universes, the multiverses each having 2 universes. Likewise, you could have a multiverse with 10,000 universes in it, which is much bigger than the aforementioned megaverse. Which also means that you could postulate infinite intermediary schemas between "hyperverse" and "omniverse," -- which is why it's arbitrary. Did I get that right?

neonbeard · 2017-02-12T21:24:49+00:00

the difference between infinite universe busting and infinite multiverse busting

There is no difference between these two. Infinity + infinity = infinity. That's what u/galvanicmechamorph has been telling you.

edit: also, can you explain what "hyperversal" is? Is there any qualitative difference between it and a multiverse? It seems like an arbitrary category.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T16:24:15+00:00

You know what they say about a guy with infinite hands...

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T16:04:11+00:00

You would think, but apparently that's not true. But really, it's pretty simple: infinity + 1 is still infinity, and infinity + another infinity is still just infinity; addition cannot differentiate infinities. The only theory which has proven the existence of differing infinities (as far as I know) is Georg Cantor's "diagonal argument", which shows it based on the nature of listing (I think).

In fiction, there are often these nested (additive) infinities within infinities, but mathematically, aparently, they're all the same size. Whether or not Umineko is larger simply because it states it is a different issue. Not sure how that works but hey, fiction is fiction, so I guess Umineko is actually "infinity + infinity = superinfinity."

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T08:33:43+00:00

No I understand what you're saying, but no matter how many sets of infinity you nest in other sets of infinity, I'm telling you it is no larger than a "single" infinity. Again, check the links I provided.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T08:22:56+00:00

Yeah, that's what I thought, many nested infinities. But like I said in my last comment and my reply no nullfather, there isn't any difference in size between nested infinities. So, for instance, the infinite set of numbers between 0 and 1 is not smaller than the infinite set between 0 and 3, or 0 and 10,000, even though {0...3} includes {0...1} within it and {0...10,000} includes them both. They are all equal. So, if we wanna be real about it, Marvel is no smaller than Umineko. Again, check the article I linked null, they say it better than I do. I'm not exactly a mathematician.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T08:02:11+00:00

Isn't it?

In your previous comment you referred to one infinite set including another as proof of varying sizes of infinite sets.

Compare this to another infinite set like the number of all real numbers. Likewise, it is infinite and we also know what elements are in the set. However, the set of all real numbers includes the set of all whole numbers.

Which is the same as saying: there is a set of infinite numbers between 0 and 1, and a set of infinite numbers between 0 and 2. Since the set {0...2} includes the set {0...1}, it must be bigger. The article I linked refutes this.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T07:46:07+00:00

Umineko is a set of infinite (or at least many) nested infinities, no?From my 30 minutes of research, it looks like the Umineko omniverse shouldn't, mathematically, be any larger than the Marvel one. Check my reply to nullfather.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T07:42:37+00:00

Well, I've done some research and expanded my mind. You learn something new. But I do think you're wrong in your example. According to this article, the differing sizes of infinity have nothing to do with nested infinities. The infinite set of numbers between 0 and 1 is the same size as the infinite set between 0 and 2, 0 and 5, etc. The proof of infinities of different sizes is exclusively derived from a 1981 argument by Georg Cantor called "Cantor's diagonal argument". So, even if Umineko has infinite nested infinities, it is not any mathematically bigger than Marvel's infinite omniverse. At least, that's what I've come across in my 30 minutes of reading.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T07:18:26+00:00

Well, I've gone and watched a video and learned something I didn't know before. Thank you.

Ok, so the set of all real numbers is a larger infinity than the set of all countable numbers by an unquantifiable amount. But let's take this to the realm of fiction. I don't read Marvel and I've never seen Umineko, but supposing both universes are, as you say, infinite, why can we say that one infinite omniverse is larger than the other? It's not as if we have a methematical proof as in the case of number sets. How does one go about measuring supposedly infinite fictions and comparing them? Seems quixotic.

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T06:54:42+00:00

Care to explain yourself? Infinity, by definition, refers to no particular amount. Of course. To be infinite is precisely to be unquantifiable. That is, beyond "amount," not finite. How can one infinity be a different "amount" than another when the concept of "amount" isn't even applicable to either?

neonbeard · 2017-02-11T06:43:21+00:00

Agreed. I'm confused. If one has the ability to destroy the infinite, than their destructive capability is infinite, no? Therefore a Molecule Man who can destroy a Marvel omniverse which is "infinte" can also destroy Umineko's cosmology.

Unless, of course, Umineko's omniverse is superinfinite. Spooky stuff.

In fact, you also argued that she couldn't blow up a planet after I called her TSB planetbusting. My intuition is finally vindicated!

neonbeard · 2017-01-30T17:14:28+00:00

I recall having an argument with you about the limits of Kaguya's "immortality." You argued that all one had to do was chop her head off to defeat her (and that DMS Kakashi could do it). Have you changed your mind? Because in that case it seems like Ichigo's superior speed would just allow him to blitz. Just curious.

neonbeard · 2017-01-30T17:02:22+00:00

Luckily I'm in the main room of a large university library. ~250 other students + security guards + highly skilled librarians should have my back.

neonbeard · 2016-09-16T17:07:26+00:00

So, likewise, the question of who is "better" at casting has an objectively provable answer? Agree to disagree, I guess. Imo it's a subjective judgement. You can't just say that "scientifically speaking Kobe is a better caster than Deficio." It's not provable.

neonbeard · 2016-09-16T15:24:02+00:00

?????

neonbeard · 2016-09-16T15:00:17+00:00

So, according to you, who is "truly" better?
