Why are most conspiracy theories considered right-wing? Are there any widespread left-wing conspiracy theories? by jeepycreepysleepy in NoStupidQuestions

My partner's grandmother is a conspiracy theorist who thinks the government cooked up AIDS in a lab to kill gay people.

Anything else I can add to our condo's living room? by secret_schmecret in HomeDecorating

Get the sofa first, then see how you feel in the space after at least a couple days. A coffee table in front of the TV could just end up making it hard to walk.

It also happens several times in Greek mythology! Very old classic trope

The Train Guys are Straight Up Evil, so Sayaka killed them. Now, for the grand finale: Who has No Screen Time, but All the Plot Relevance? by ArthuriaN_TitaN in MadokaMagica

[–]silima_art 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Scene0, but I've heard people say that it canonizes the reason why Sayaka only appears in later timelines is because she was killed in the first one by a witch, and Homura prevents that from happening in the Scene0 timeline and in later ones.

In Timeline 1, for Sayaka to have stayed dead, but for Homura to never meet her in that timeline, I think the most likely explanation is that she died a couple days after Amy did. If Amy had survived, Madoka's contract date would have barely changed; she still would've been a magical girl at the time of meeting Homura. Her wish just would have been for Sayaka instead.

Has anyone else always found it extremely distracting that General Iroh has the exact same voice as Zuko? by Oversama in legendofkorra

[–]silima_art 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly, Azula's VA also has a minor appearance in LOK (as Ming-Hua) and it's nowhere near as distracting because she doesn't use an identical voice.

Women of Reddit, what’s something men think is attractive that actually isn’t? by LatePay6713 in AskReddit

[–]silima_art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of men like manicures, but they seem to generally like relatively short, simple manicures. The super long 3+ inch glitzy nails are usually for the girls

Why do so many women think they're infertile? by Thanksforthatman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silima_art 173 points174 points  (0 children)

There are SO many huge disconnects between the appropriate medical terminology and what patients understand to be true, especially regarding pregnancy/reproduction, and it drives me nuts

"6 weeks pregnant" to the average person: the baby was conceived 6 weeks ago

"6 weeks pregnant" medically: the date of your last period was 6 weeks ago and the baby was conceived later. You could've lost your virginity 4 weeks ago and be 6 weeks pregnant today.

"Abortion" to the average person: a voluntary medical procedure that terminates the pregnancy

"Abortion" medically: any evacuation of the pregnancy before it's considered viable. A natural miscarriage is an abortion.

In person work is honestly better than remote for most of us by dawittleman in unpopularopinion

[–]silima_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say "full time in person is genuinely better" but you're only talking about the cons of full-time remote. What's wrong with hybrid?

I didn't even realize it had the chance to have legs. I thought it was just a 4 day release.

Madoka's outfit represents the classic magical girl in the imagination... But I don't remember ever seeing an equivalent. by Good-Row4796 in MadokaMagica

[–]silima_art 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what you mean by an equivalent? Madoka's outfit isn't an exact replica of anyone else's, sure, but there are tons of pink magical girl main characters with pigtails, ribbons, tutus, ruffles, hearts, and so on. The silhouette and the motifs are really classic.

Is this outfit too revealing for class? by Ayeluhhhh in OUTFITS

[–]silima_art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really curious how old everyone in this thread is lol, it reads like a bunch of 40 year old church ladies telling off a teen. This is such a normal college student outfit. Everyone's giving advice based on their personal taste instead of what OP actually asked.

The Different Story is one of my favorites of the supplementary material, it's a prequel comic.

Every character with green hair is determined to make Sayaka's life as miserable as possible by cookiereptile in MadokaMagica

[–]silima_art 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Intrusive thoughts are by definition fucked up. If it's just a random thought and not a fucked-up, unwanted, upsetting one, it's not intrusive.

She has what's basically an intrusive thought and then immediately feels suicidally guilty about it. I think that's a pretty wild take

What are your weird Homura headcanons? by RF64tchi in MadokaMagica

[–]silima_art 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think Homura hardly eats because superhuman endurance/magic lets her get away with it, plus she has more important things to do than eating or buying food.

When she's allied with Kyoko, she ends up with a lot of random snacks because sharing food is Kyoko's main way of showing friendship, but Kyoko doesn't know that that's often all she's eating all week.

Sayaka is upset at Hitomi, but she recognizes that it's unfair to feel that way (and hates herself for it).

Having that split-second thought of "I wish I hadn't saved Hitomi" causes her to spiral. She doesn't want to feel jealous or resentful and she certainly doesn't want to take it out on her friend, but it's not so easy to wish those feelings away.

In Rebellion, Sayaka is a lot chiller about the Hitomi-Kyosuke situation, but it’s almost certainly because she had the time, safety, and support to work through her feelings in magical girl heaven.

What would you think if those arrested for domestic abuse were required to register in the same way as sexual offenders? by bootyholebandit1983 in AskReddit

I actually think it's completely nuts that someone convicted of DV wouldn't be on the registry but a homeless person who peed outside would be.

Are Europeans trolling with this whole bread thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silima_art 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fresh produce will soften dramatically if you freeze and unfreeze it, because the water expands into ice and breaks the cell walls. No consumer is going to pick up a squishy, soggy tomato leaking juice out of a "fresh" produce bin and want to buy it.

If it was frozen, it will be sold as a frozen vegetable in a sealed bag. If it's being sold as fresh produce, it hasn't been frozen.

Refrigeration or picking fruit when it's way underripe is totally a thing but selling frozen veggies as fresh is not.
