  • Non-Rotating Early Galaxy Is a Surprise to Astronomers

    Jump

  • Heydo That's true, but we also don't measure galaxy rotation by watching things move. The rotation rate of galaxies is incredibly slow on human timescales. Like, the Milky Way rotates once every 100,000 - 150,000 years.

    Instead, we're looking at differences in redshift from one side of the galaxy compared to the other. A rotating object -- assuming it's axis of rotation isn't perfectly facing you (i.e. you're looking straight down its north/south pole) -- always has one side that's moving toward you, and another that is moving away from you. The side that is moving toward you will be slightly blueshifted compared to the average, while the side that is moving away will be slightly redshifted. Finding a galaxy that isn't rotating means finding a galaxy that doesn't have this red/blue shift pattern.

  • That's a good date!

  • INeedMana This all reflects the constant handwringing I see on the PF2e subreddit over that game. All discussion is optimization discussion, and all discussion is complaining about the direct effects of optimization. Or -- because bonus inflation is highly controlled in that system -- they're complaining about how it's so unfair that the game doesn't let you just break it, the way 3.x, 5.x, or PF1e does.

    Players want to break the game, but then find the results of that confusing and angry making.

  • That's pretty good! I've used larger -- not counting elephant garlic -- but that one's up there among some of the greats!

  • How old were you when you realised you were neurodiverse?

  • Lexam Same. I was 41 when I put the pieces together, but I'd been ostracised most of my life, and only ever seemed to make friends with rhe weird kids or the adults wity ADHD.

    Then my step-son was suspected of having ADHD, and a few searches later Google/YouTube seemed to put the pueces together for me.

  • msbbritain@lemmy.world The issue us that it breaks with the established systems of "reality" without explanation or cause. It's an arbitrary deviation from the established and shared understanding of how things work, with the only available explanatiin being "because I said so, so shut up and don't question me".

    It's one thing if there's the equivalent of the Conceal Spell feat and actiin from Pathfinder being leveraged here,but tbat comes with both a build tax and an action tax. If there's no price being paid, it's a little bit of a "fuck you" to the players.

  • Neurodiverse problems

    Jump

  • okamiueru@lemmy.world That's not actually what anyone has said. They said that NTs subconsciously use context clues and fill in gaps, making assumptions about what you're asking if it's unclear to them. No one has said they'll undoubtedly infer that you mean something else.

    There's a big gap between the two.

    You seem to be inferring what others are saying, and that inference differs from what they've actually tried to communicate.

  • okamiueru@lemmy.world So, believe it or not, "would you recommend this product" isn't generally a proxy question. They're actually trying to determine if you might be a a marketing vector, and/or priming you to recommend the product to others.

  • buffman@lemmy.world Nor any other game series, really. It would be understandable if D&D's playerbaase wasn't concentrated in the two most recent editions, given how the brand dominates the scene, but it is...

    It would also be understandable if Pathfinder 2 was a minor evolution of PFRPG, but it's not...

  • redweasel@lemmy.world > Why is this even associated with autism specifically?

    It isn't, exclusively at least. But autistic people seem to be targeted at a fairly high rate by Cluster B folks, thanks in no small part to our tendency to take people at face value and trust people when they say they think/believe/will do things, so it's a common shared experience among autistics.

    > Do you claim that people being repeatedly interrupted in conversation with others only happens to autistic people

    No. And neither does OOP.

    > or happens more frequently to autistic people

    No. And neither does OOP.

    > or that it happening is “harder” on an autistic person than it is on neurotypicals

    No. And neither does OOP.

    Now, did you jump into this thread just to Well, akshually, or did you have a real point that's of interest to the rest of the class? Because my issue here is that you seem to want to make the discussion about your disruptive smug fuckery, and think having that pointed out in any way makes the pointer an asshole.

    Which makes you a colossal dickhead. And a troll.

    Go back to harassing the goats on your bridge.

  • fridam@lemmy.blahaj.zone This. There's some sort of flow and cadence they lock on to, and seem to know when to give way and when to take over. There might even be body language they're reading to know when to jump in and when to yield. I've watched it happen at work for years now, where my pod of coworkers will be discussing an issue, and they all just speak seamlessly, one person's sentence sending and the next person's beginning like they had coordinated. Meanwhile, I'll be sitting there waiting for everyone to stop and give a clear signal that there is room to add my own thoughts, and the space never comes.

    Usually my manager puts the breaks on the discussion to say "Kichae, it looks like you have something you want to add". Or, I just stop waiting for an opportunity and start talking over people, and I'm the largest and loudest guy in the room, so they stop.

  • lostcarcosan@lemmy.today No. I'm not upset at all. Why do you choose to read my comment as I were? I thumbed my nose at someone who dripped in with nothing to contribute other than being a jerkass prick, but that's different from being upset.

    Are you supporting the little whiny one?

  • Angryhumanoid Why? What have I done that is assholeish, other than point out that there might be a reason these posts keep coming up?

    Whining about them seems like awfully fucking dickhead behaviour, though.

  • Angryhumanoid The autistic experience of being told the thing that happens to you and that feels especially bad or frustrating is normal, so STFU about it. As if finding shit everyone around you sees as normal insufferable isn't part of the autistic experience.
