  1. If the phoenix that gets out of the flames is the exact same individual as the one before, then it should have the same DNA and therefore any genetic diseases that come with it. However, those diseases are generally related to mistakes in the copying of parental DNA during the conception. And I'm not sure phoenixes procreate. (If they did, then the world would be quickly covered in phoenixes since none of them will ever die.) So unless we assume a phoenix was originally created with a genetic disease (how are phoenixes born, btw?) this is a case that should never happen. Well, that is until you realize phoenixes are fictitious creatures (sob) and therefore their biology is entirely left to the imagination of whoever decides to do something with phoenixes. So if you ever write a story that has phoenixes in it, you could decide that phoenixes do have genetic diseases and are reborn with it. You could decide that they can get genetic diseases at every new resurrection if something goes wrong. You could even decide that phoenixes use the energy coming from Swiss cheese to combust, somehow. It's your imagination, you are free to use it however you want. TLDR: I don't think so, but if you want them to then they will.
  2. Unclear instructions. Two very competent GIs show up at your door. I wish to find motivation to write that thing.
  3. Here's a funny thing.

    Online, I differentiate people mostly by looking at their profile pictures.

    Now, it happens that you and @Kajsa have pretty similar profile pictures. Especially on mobile, where the pictures aren't that big.

    So I keep mixing things up and thinking a post is from one of you when it's actually from the other.

    You two girls have managed to become one in my mind.

    Just thought you'd enjoy this info.

      he’s such a softie on the inside 🥰

  4. ... wow. That's pretty scary *hugs*
  5. *hugs* Yeah... if they really cared about you, and saw you struggling with work, they would help you instead of insulting you and then giving you no information on what you're doing wrong
  6. This actually meant "high school was the best time of my life and I kinda wish to go back there, so you kids should be happy to be in high school regardless of your actual experience" In other words, I was certifying my oldness. Everyone has highs and lows in life, which fall at different times in life, and blanket statements like "high school is the best time of life" actually mean "The best time of my own life was when I was in high school and I've been unsuccessfully chasing that high ever since" and dont reflect any underlying truth. For instance, high school was significantly better than middle school for me, but it probably wasn't such for you. You are young, though. Enough to have a whole bunch of other highs ahead of you. Maybe in college, or in your 30s, or in your 50s, or in your 80s, I don't know, possibly all of those. But it will come. Edit: Lol. About half of the Shard ninjaed me to say the same thing in much shorter. Old man gonna ramble, what do you want. And type slowly.
  7. I can get you someone older here. I won't promise anything regarding wisdom though. Btw, high school best time ever, enjoy it kids
  8. No idea who is that. TPBM is suscribed to Hello Future Me. Edit:
  9. This one requires a bit of explanation first. There is a sail race called Vendée Globe, that starts in a couple days, where the guys have to go around the world with only sail and without external assistance. I was at the start (and end) point of that race not long ago. While there, I was reading a Malazan book. And so, the last night there, I had a dream that the Tiste Edur (a people from the later Malazan books) was somehow secretly sponsoring the whole Vendée Globe. That's it. That's the dream. (Well I think there was more, but sadly I forgot.)
  10. Cool colors! Edgedancer + Gryffindor + Asha'man is certainly a combination. And you even thought to put "ginger" in red. 5.43/5.57225678
  11. Kiss Kaladin, marry Sam, kill Rand, fall to the floor and sob uncontrolably while facing the horror of what I've just done The Lord Ruler, Palpatine, Saruman.
  12. Yeah, this machine summons an extradimensional five-headed, eleven-legged demon everytime you turn it on. This reasoning is... surprisingly sound.
  13. *massive hugs* I don't really know what to say, nor do I have any real advice for you, but I can imagine what you're going through.
  14. Songs of a Lost World, the newest (and first since a decade and a half) The Cure album. It's pretty good, and I think quite a few of you here might vibe with it.
  15. Granted, but you only get the Farsi translation. If you can speak Farsi, then now you don't. I wish for energy.
  16. You start your signature with "maker of puns" and don't even have a pun in your entire signature. (Unless there's one and I'm a wool-headed non-native speaker who missed it.) I can't give you full marks with such a glaring flaw. Pineapples/22
  17. Granted. You lose all your hair and they never regrow. All the fake hair things you try give you allergic reactions like crazy. I wish to manage my time somewhat coherently.
  18. Photo dump from mountain walk today!

    The way was not great at times, a big storm passed around here 2 days ago so trees fell a bit everywhere.

    20241011_160601.thumb.jpg.dfb3ed54cca63c6301f3bda569a5d861.jpg

    Yes, this is the path.

    Another section had been almost entirely coopted by a stream (much bigger than usual because of the rain). Did not take pictures there unfortunately

    How about you? How are you doing?

      I'm doing well

      Those are beautiful!

  19. Nope. Not sure how much of a thing it's here though. TPBM is scared by their TBR.
  20. @Spark of Hope Also, I hereby request a meme to be inflicted upon myself.
  21. Granted, you're stuck in a time loop comprising September 30. Also, every time you listen to any song other than September by Earth, Wind and Fire, you lose a random bone. I wish that I could do something.
  22. How many goats must a man walk down Before you call him a goat? How many seas must the white goat sail Before she can sleep in the sand? Yes and how many times must the cannon goats fly Before they’re forever banned ? The answer, my friend Is goating in the wind The answer is goating in the wind
