The hell you talkin bout boy

papalonian, to asklemmy in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

I was getting incredibly confused because the copy/paste didn’t copy the superscript for the exponents. I was like, “there’s definitely more than 1027 atoms in the body… wait, how are there supposedly only 1021 bytes of storage in the whole world? Oooh…”

This assumption is made based off of current prosthetics. What if future prosthetics are near-nonidentifiable from real ones? Maybe we’re even about to get our real skin to grow over the outside.

What a weird gatekeep-y comment. “They didn’t perform as well as the top 1% they’re incredibly stupid” what is it with this post that has all the butthurt people coming out

Really? Damn, that sucks. Edited my comment.

papalonian, to asklemmy in what is a parental advice you wish you could give to your father/mother before they had you?

Children’s medications aren’t scams, they have different doses for a reason (the reason is usually risk of overdose).

This will obviously very from med to med, but most stuff over the counter will be exactly the same for adults and children, just with instructions for children to take less.

For example, both children’s and adult’s liquid acetaminophen (paracetamol) are sold in the US at a strength of 160mg/5mL, and they will both have the same instructions for children under 2, children 2-11, and people 12+

someone having fun doing something I would never do

Clearly they lack skill and knowledge.

Just wanted to point out that Etsy isn’t really in the same category as the other shops you listed. Think handmade crafts and souvenir store compared to Walmart.

Edit: I’m apparently reminiscing on the Etsy of yesteryear. I guess it’s shit now.

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in [SPOILER] How do you interpret the intro?

I could be talking crazy here, but in regards to the clawed hand situation - perhaps the mind flayer is seeing it’s own hand opening a holding pod? I don’t know if more context is given in-game, but based on the quotes you provided it doesn’t explicitly state that the face belongs to the claw-handed figure. Maybe the memory you see is of the mind flayer opening your pod?

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in [SPOILER] How do you interpret the intro?

I thought that the one with Dror was our captor, but maybe it’s the one we fought the cambions with. The narrator tells you it’s the mind flayer that was on the ship, I guess it’s a little vague

papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

I see, so you are probably affected by an eating disorder yourself and therefore biased. That explains your stance on the topic.

You either have no idea what you’re talking about, or you’re a troll. Most people stop diagnosing strangers over the Internet when they leave high school. I really hope nobody follows your bad, harmful advice.

Do you find it strange that your professional, sound advice is getting down voted em masse? You really think you’ve got the right take?

papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

It doesn’t matter if your intention was the opposite of doing harm. Your advice was not good advice. Your experience with someone who had an eating disorder doesn’t give you the ability to intuitively diagnose everyone that reminds you of their situation as having the same disorder.

You’re making huge assumptions based on little information. Saying people are underweight or hardly eat anything doesn’t even come close to automatically meaning “eating disorder”. I’m underweight myself and eat very little, I’m not anorexic. If I feel chubby after a few days of binge eating, someone trying to make me stop thinking about it by distracting me like a dog isn’t going to help.

Again, I’m assuming your goal is to help so I’m not trying to be rude, but your advice is both making the issue out to be much larger than it probably is (saying she is anorexic/ bulimic while OP never used these words) while simultaneously suggesting he ignore the problem by distracting her. Even if she does have an eating disorder, as others have pointed out, saying things are “a trap” is not a healthy way to look at it, as someone reaching out for help is not doing so to put you in a bad position.

papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

I don’t think you have any experience with eating disorders or women in general. Someone who used to be skinny gaining a bit of weight and feeling fat is not “behavioral patterns connected to anorexia/ bulimia”. And even if it was, how does “this is clearly freaking you out, let’s ignore it and do this instead” supposed to help?

I’ll assume you have the best of intentions in mind, if that’s the case you really shouldn’t be giving advice here because everything you’ve said so far is harmful.
