I'm quite confident in TaiLiu's ability to both parse it and to have foreseen I'll do this exact thing when requesting my opinion. Aside from that, "it does not carry meaning" is kind of important and the term excrescent useful for locating further reading into the subject if they want to delve in any.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Does the fae work in tandem with the tooth fairy? In case they knock out a tooth with all the smacking with a mackerel thing. Anyway, this would be a sorely needed addition sometimes.
I actually have a vivid memory of one specific question during my first year of physics/chemistry class at twelve years old. The test question was something like this:
Spoiler: MS Paint diagram and explanation
I guess the point of the question was to make sure we knew what a "state of matter" meant. Twelve years-old me knew that the expected answer was "solid, gas, liquid", but noticed that it was never stated that each must appear once. So I decided to be a smartass, because of course if the water had frozen while the beaker was upright, the surface of the ice would remain horizontal so there was no way to tell one from the other from the diagram.
I lost points for, apparently, failing to account for the unstated rule that each term was to be employed only once, and when I asked the teacher about it he told me that I was overthinking it and he wouldn't make trick questions. I didn't insist, but told my father about it, who replied that my answer was incomplete because the first one could be liquid as well: it was nowhere stated that the table was horizontal, so I had made unstated assumptions too. I feel like I learned a great deal about asking teachers and parents that day. I understood the importance of paying attention to what was actually stated and asked, find the logical answer, then ignore all of that and write down the expected answer instead.
For what it's worth, it was the same teacher who didn't know that Archimedes' principle applied to gases until I told him.On a fateful evening, I foolishly sworn myself to follow Xykon's updated speech rule ...thing. The twelve gods know that I regretted my decision ...since then ...multiple times.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
For what it's worth, i disagree with your father and agree with you. Nothing indicates the third beaker is only liquid, and it could be both. However, similarly, nothing indicates the first beaker is tilted, or is traveling at a velocity and going on a curve, or any other means that would have the liquid not be level. The third beaker being liquid or solid is predicted on the beakers and substance appearing as presented, so the same logic that has 3 be either also necessitates that 1 only be solid.

That sucks. I hope you found a bathroom in the end. I've seen videos. It's so crowded there.
Thanks for the explanation. So people just started adding t suffixes and it stuck. Pretty cool.

I appreciated the response for sure.
I had no idea "amidships" was even a word till now. :O

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
That's frustrating. NYC has four public restrooms per hundred thousand people, which is terribly low. More public restrooms are needed for sure.
Maybe it's about winter birdies! :D
For sure. Especially for a layperson like myself.Last edited by TaiLiu; 2024-01-05 at 05:11 PM.

Decided to finally check out The Owl House.
Knew about all the gay.
Suspected the plot points about surviving and overcoming abusive parents.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Luz and Amity's defeat of Grometheus was beautiful in both its elegance and its symbolism.
I'm just... surprised by the sheer amount of disability allegory and conversely what it says about living with a disability.
Like, obviously there's the stuff with Eda's curse, especially in the episode that introduces it to us, the slumber party episode with the subplot of her being gouged on the elixir she needs to manage it, and the episode where Eda's mother shows up after having fallen for the latest snake-oil 'cure' again but...
Then you get more subtle stuff, like the fact that humans and witches, being different species, can't eat most of the same food and the financial strain this can cause which comes up twice... Yeah, there are a lot of conditions that can make finding food that safe and/or palatable a pain in the ass.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

I mean, I'm past this bit.(Spoilers, in case it needs to be said.)
I do not see it getting any Gayer than that. This very much feels like they just decided "**** it, we're already canceled so let's beat them over the head with it just to be damn sure."
Which, mind you, I'm down with.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Yeah, Owl House is pretty great. Shame about how it went, but I'm glad for what we got y'know? At least it managed to go out on a good note.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Okay, I'm trying but I don't think I can explain it without being a wall of text and I keep second-guessing myself on what needs to be there.
So, for clarity's sake... Do I need to explain the "apparently they can't eat sweet potatoes" part, why I think it's ironic, or both?Last edited by Rater202; 2024-01-06 at 03:04 AM.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Rater, I also have no idea where your getting sweet potatoes from or why its even relevant to this conversation about Owl House, at all.
To me, its completely random and you just brought it up and not explained anything.
Please. Unpack.Last edited by Lord Raziere; 2024-01-06 at 03:59 AM.
