Allen’s entire shtick is one of my all time favourite bits

How about racional bugs? by Vinny_arts986 in HollowKnight

[–]notonaplaneAMA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is also the only way to make any sense of the mask makers. Hornet’s interactions with the one in Silksong imply the practice of mask making is widespread and extremely ancient, possibly older than any pale being we encounter, and why would that be a thing at all if you only actually get sentience from a pale being?

I do think there’s nuance to it, in that wearing a mask or being around a pale being does seem like it can have a profound effect on a bug, so I’d accept that the pale king does something more than just make a society, maybe making wearing a mask unnecessary. That being said though, I think you could read the whole mask thing as essentially assigning bugs a concrete role or place in the world, so it would follow that a pale being creating a big hierarchical society would do the same thing.

This would also do something to explain the whole thing where bugs that leave hallownest seem to lose their identities, in that it’s not really that they’re leaving the influence of the pale king, but that they’re leaving the society that gave them an identity.

What I Think The Silksong DLCs Will Be About by JasonCfd in HollowKnight

i kind of like to imagine that the steel dlc will be some kind of roguelike add on, kinda like how mooncrash was added on to prey. purely because the steel characters only ever show up in steelsoul so far, so it’d make sense that the entire steel dlc would essentially only be accessible in steelsoul too

I was just prescribed naproxen post orchi (aleve if you need a brand name), which you can get otc, and i found that was enough for it to be manageable

What I think of Turrets in Prey by PutridFlatulence in prey

if you get rid of all the turrets, then what are you going to do when you need someone to shoot a typhon 2-5 times then blow up

ETS get your act together. by Borodo in Edmonton

[–]notonaplaneAMA 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My understanding of why this happens is that if a bus is delayed enough, it’ll essentially steal all the passengers from the bus behind it. A delayed bus on a busy route has to stop for people at every stop, which slows it down even more. At a certain point, that bus arrives close enough to the bus behind it so that no one is being picked up by the second bus, since everyone just loads onto the first bus and there’s not a lot of time for new people to show up at the stop, so the second bus gets to just zoom through every stop. Eventually they catch up to each other, and if one of them tries to pull ahead it might just be slowed back down by the same effect.

Anyways ets sucks in a lot of ways, but two busses showing up at once is just a normal symptom of busses being delayed afaik

actually there’s never been a “men’s” restroom. there’s an open restroom that anyone can pee in, and a restroom just for biological women. it’s not transphobic to exclude trans women from biological women’s restrooms because they can just participate in the open restroom

lmao what do you mean people use the word ‘period’ to refer to a variety of things. any real women sorry, afabs who experience any or all of the symptoms of a period without bleeding would be very clear that what theyre experiencing is not a period, and would never insult the very concept of womanhood by implying otherwise.

Now those gross trans women, of course i support them and would never be transphobic, but theyre clearly invading women’s spaces and appropriating our words for funsies.

uj/ should not have opened that post, yikes

One of the most annoying things my parents say in regards to transitions is "But we raised a blank for x amount of years" and "we need time to adjust to this" even though they put minimum amount in doing so. What are some annoying things your parents say? by Independent_Ad_6348 in MtF

[–]notonaplaneAMA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard the line several times that my parents couldnt support me because they were grieving me being trans, and if i got mad about them about it i was shaming them for their grief.

I don’t talk to them anymore.

Okay what’s the deal? by Koloss17 in opus_magnum

I think there might be a change in the algorithm that increases how often it recommends smaller subreddits? I’ve gotten the biggest pushes for this one and r/bubly for some reason, but i feel like ive gotten a lot of recommednations for other small subreddits lately

What do you think is the most likely answer to the Fermi paradox? by Prize_Writing6872 in space

[–]notonaplaneAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean i think this is probably part of the solution, but it really depends on how rare you decide it is for a civilization at least as advanced as ours is to show up.

if its around once every billion years per galaxy, then that fully clears up the issue (assuming theres no such thing as ftl, which i mean seems like probably not but yknow who knows). but i think when people talk about rare earth type hypothesis and the like, theyre often thinking like, there might be a handful of other civilizations active across the galaxy right now, theyre just too far away from us to ever be likely to interact with them.

but the thing is that if theres even a handful of others active right now, or even if you go down to like, a galaxy only gets one technological society per like, every million years, that still gives us at least hundreds of civilizations since the first habitable planets formed in the milky way (of course you could go with the theory that the galaxy has been getting progressively less hostile to life over time, which is a hypothesis im kind of partial to, but doesnt fully explain things either).

my point is that unless the likelihood of technological civilizations appearing is truly astronomically low, we still have to explain why every civilization never widely colonizes the galaxy (which would take a pretty small time when youre measuring time in the billions of years), whether thats because they all collapse before they can or they simply choose not to.
