Reply to [WP] You run an animal shelter for magical and mythical animals. Dragons, unicorns, jackalopes, you name it, your shelter houses them. Today a witch surrendered their familiar at your shelter. It is just an ordinary animal, so you think it would be easy to care for it. You were sorely mistaken. by Kitty_Fuchs

Reply to Is there something wrong with me (23f) boyfriend (23m) by throwRaPurse

The only thing that I see 'wrong' here is that you're still in a relationship with him. You've been on and off for four years. Relationships should be joyful parts of your life. Why are you continuing to waste time and energy on someone who doesn't seem to care about you?

Reply to The Metro is the reason my car stays in the garage for weeks at a time. Without it, I would be driving 3-4 days a week. How much more frequently would you be driving if it weren’t for the Metro? by SuperBethesda

Same. I thought about selling my car for a long time and debating just staying in DC but I’ll have to move back to car city LA in a few years. Plus I got a car during covid with a 0% interest rate. The extra costs of parking and insurance are tough and with inflation it’s hard to make the payments. But I got 3 more years and then it’s all mine and by then I’ll probably be back in California

Reply to comment by ArgumentativeNerfer in [WP] It was the funeral of your grandfather who used to be a hero. He was just a low rank hero, but was extremely kind. On the day of his burial, you were surprised at the number of people attending. Upon looking closer, you realize they were former and currently infamous villains of their time. by Vahn456

This was good stuff. And on a side note, "Annihilatrix" is such a good super name that I'm kind of mad I hadn't come up with myself.

Reply to ELI5: Is there a time difference everywhere? by squidwards_noze

It takes the Earth 24 hours to turn on its axis once. Or, as it seems to us, for the Sun to go across the sky and come back around. So at points 15 degrees apart in longitude, solar noon will occur an hour apart.

On the equator, the Earth is about 40,000 km around. So at points 1 km apart, solar noon will occur 2.16 seconds apart.

Reply to Would you enjoy playing AI-generated games? by BrilliantDouble4469

You can already play "lots of choices" games. There are many that use narrative tricks to make it seem your choices are important even if the reality is there isn't a lot of changes in overall plot structure.

I don't think anyone actually cares about uniqueness. No Mans Sky was literally unique and got panned for being samey after all.

People do want to be able to change the story in interesting ways for sure but I don't know if AI as it stands will get there. The core problem is nuance. You can make an AI that ensures dead characters stay dead but you won't get much past a coin flip on say "whether a character likes you" and certainly no "I should have done X instead" moments.

Note you will say "I should have done X" but it will IMHO fall into the same category as false choices. Your choice didn't meaningfully affect the outcome you just personally perceived it did.

Reply to How do I [24f] go about telling a guy [24m] I’m seeing that his hygiene is an issue for me? Without hurting his feelings? by [deleted]

“Dude I think you’re super cool but for my own health and safety, I’m kind of particular and want to be with someone with good hygiene. What that means to me is clean clothes, bathed, clean hair, teeth, ears, etc. I don’t really know how else to say it more kindly but you need to work on that if we are going to pull this off.”

Your standards aren’t nuts by any stretch. Maybe he was never taught, maybe he doesn’t have money for a dentist…who knows but it’s a deal breaker for you and would be for most people id hope.
