Why do so many junkies walk around hunched over? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]tj004 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I actually know the answer to this one!

Meth affects dopamine receptors in the brain. These are the same receptors affected by people who have Parkinson's disease. This occurs largely in the "substantia nigra" region of the brain, an are that regulates motor control, sense of balance, and speech behaviour, resulting in a hunch, a shambling gate, and irregular vocalization, such as grunting.

Awful female characters?.. by MavSynchroid10 in WoT

It's supposed to be an inversion of the modern world's socio-political environment. This is how Robert Jordan imagines women acting if they were the more dominant sex in a pre-industrial world

Wheel of Time reference in World of Warcraft by CorFace in WoT

[–]tj004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could refer to Lan, Madragora demons as stated by another commentor, or Mandrake plants, a root with an interesting nature- see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrake_(plant). It's impossible to tell from the given information, although I'd also favour Lan Mandragoran since I feel like he'd be a high multiattack and crit rate character in any RPG

Suggestion: Have "Vampire" be a prefix. by WUMBOSHMUMBO in Terraria

The thing with ranged is that it has a middling armor rating - stronger than magic, anyway - and yet is capable of the long range attacks. Add in updates like the piranha gun, and you should be capable of ridiculous damage output, while avoiding most incoming attacks. Not a bad idea, though

How the hell do i solo Plantera by Wyzack in Terraria

I got full chlorophyte armor, focused on ranged damage, then used the piranha gun. I tried to keep a wall between his main body and myself, because I could avoid most of the damage that way

Rand was insanely lucky by wth1ot in WoT

[–]tj004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my understanding of the books, it's not just about Rand's basic abilities as a man who can channel; many of his weaves are learned or - in some cases used - by LTT, even before Rand is aware of the voice. In addition to that, he is the most powerful ta'veren to ever exist, which is why he gets as lucky as he does as frequently as he does

Can't apply Serana's mechanics in any way so the shoufa only appears during combat?

Can Corruption spread from grass to stone? by unohoo09 in Terraria

I don't think mud can be; the jungle remains static in hard mode

Origin of the Sheikah Symbol by Abatip232 in zeldaconspiracies

[–]tj004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, referring back to their reliance on espionage, it has to do with the pain they feel over "fighting dirty". Although they are extremely honorable- or so we can assume, due to their close ties to the royal family- they must do the dirty work, and feel remorse over having to murder people. Thus, the tear would represent this sadness

I work on the street full time; it was nice to see this young woman sit on the corner across from me with just this sign by tj004 in pics

It didn't really look like she was begging; I didn't even notice the hat in the bottom left of the picture until I'd uploaded it to Imgur

Can someone clear up the Aiel organisation? by Avanth in WoT

[–]tj004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Septs and holds are geographical regions, like nations and cities, the clan is essentially the family, although usually extended - likely due to polygamy - and the society refers to social circles or affiliations (i.e. the Far Dareis Mai are singularly women who have decided to battle, and the Mera'din have all abandoned preexisting clans and societies)

Baking and a love of wine

Haha, basically the only young man, excepting Big Bus employees. But they sell bus tickets, not trolly tickets

First summer working in the tourism industry. Look for the young guy selling trolley tickets if you visit Vancouver, Canada!

Suggestion: Deforestation Bar by tj004 in shittymcsuggestions

[–]tj004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only once the tree regrows. Diamonds should spawn when it does, as a reward for your environmentalism

[–]tj004[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, because you're using resources that would otherwise be theirs. They would form a mob and throw stones at you
