Subject Delta needs your help to get to the next round!

Of the unofficial Sexy Masked Men poll. He won his first round but in round 2 he’s up against Gabriel from Ultrakill and our boy is getting ultrakilled out there. He’s currently at 40%, anyone have a tumblr account to help rally for our man?

We also need more propaganda, any art or memes or fan content helps! We’ve got an uphill fight here but he’s still got 5 days to clutch this

Subject Delta is in an unofficial sexy man contest and I think we have a shot at getting our man the win- does anyone have a tumblr account?

Every so often tumblr users will make unofficial contests on who’s the sexiest with different themes. Subject Delta got added into a Sexy Masked Men contest and I want to try and help him get as far as possible.

He won his first round, but it was a hard fight against another fairly obscure character. Next round gets revealed on Monday. Fans have this weekend to rally the troops and make propaganda pieces.

I think our man Delta deserves some wins and it would be very funny for an older game fanbase to rise like a phoenix while the bigger fandoms slumber unaware in their hubris.

Delta got more votes in his battle than Darth Vader did in his (thankfully separate) poll so I think we have a chance to be REALLY REALLY funny about this.

Do you have a tumblr account or would you be willing to make one to help out? And if anyone has any links to fanart, gifs, or videos that help make our case that’d be appreciated as the contest runner allows fans to submit propaganda.

The mom-shaming at the zoo was wild

Went to the zoo with my baby and saw an orangutan with a 2 month old baby close to the glass.

I lifted my baby up and held them flipped around so they could see better, and I swear to god this momma orangutan gave me the most bombastic side eye and repositioned her baby to a more superior snuggly hold while walking off to another family that was holding their baby PROPERLY. She gestured back at me like she was gossiping with the other mom about my inferior baby holding skills.

When will the mom shaming end? 😔

A Bioshock movie would flop but a Bioshock streaming show would redefine the genre

The entire conceit of Bioshock 1 & 2 is that actions have consequence and your choices matter. What rocketed Bioshock up to iconic status was it was the first to really play with what you have control over (WYK) and what your own free will can change (multiple ending).

A movie is locked into one ending. A traditional tv show is too.

But a STREAMING tv show?

Picture this: you get to the end of the episode first episode where there’s a cinematic fight with a Big Daddy and our hero wins. Then the episode pauses instead of automatically playing the next episode and it asks you to ”SAVE” or “HARVEST”

Depending on what you choose a different episode plays. You are in control over how this story plays out. (Edit: FOR YOUR OWN VIEWING EXPERIENCE THIS ISNT A VOTE FOR EVERYONE ELSE. ALL THE EPISODES ARE FILMED THIS JUST CHOSES WHICH ONE IS SHOWN TO YOU.) But no matter which route you pick, there will be one episode where both paths lead to the same place. Joining, and then diverging again.

Part of the story is controlled, part of the story is choice. What will you do with it?

Settle a bet- who do you think is better thematically as Songbird?

I’ve got $5 on Reddit agreeing with my vision and $2 on Reddit coming up with a better idea because I like to hedge my bets.

For the best story who do you think Songbird is?

A. Another Booker. This gives a Trinity angle to Comstock, Booker, and Songbird which fits in with Infinite’s theme of christofascism. It also works with Comstock’s ego- who better to protect his daughter than him?

B. Johnny Topside. This ties into Bioshock’s “the big daddies are all used to be men who didn’t deserve this“ theme. It also explains why Booker can never beat him. Delta would never lose to Booker in any dimension. Songbird had to die once he came to Rapture, not just due to the ocean but because both version of him was alive in that dimension. It makes the tragedy of Songbird hit harder- we know Delta and we can only wish he’d been freed like our Delta had been. Here he died still trapped but still loving his daughter till the end.

C. Some guy. Songbird has no lore, Songbird needs no lore.

D. Your own opinion here, please elaborate!

Seeking help finding a ruling in a divorce case between 1960-1980 where possession of a Star Trek Slash Zine determined mother’s unfitness to have custody of kids Location: USA

Hello Legal folks! I don’t have access to the tools needed to search for this specific case and was wondering if someone could help out.

In college I took a class about fiction’s impact on USA laws. The professor mentioned a case that intrigued me and I’ve never been able to hunt it down to confirm the particulars.

This was during the airing of the original series of Star Trek. A couple were having a contentious divorce, and in particular were having a nasty fight over custody of the children. The father snooped and found a “slash zine” featuring Spock having gay sex with Kirk. Slash zines for those unaware were handmade small run magazines that featured fan made materials of Star Trek the original series. At the time there were no other series covered as this was invented by Star Trek fans.

The father successfully argued the mother was sexually deviant to possess such a thing and thus a danger to the children. The mother lost all custody.

I do not recall which state or the exact year, only that the judge had to have the concept of basically everything explained to him. I believe there were multiple children. I also think the father snooped after they were already separated and did not have authorization to be in her bedroom but this ultimately had no effect.

If anyone could help me find the court case or any research papers discussing it that would be a big help!

It’s been sixteen years and I still have thoughts about how I’d change Bioshock 2

Meme thematically relate.

  1. Sinclair gets fifty bajillion more lines and we get to talk to him for as long as we want. I want that man to be our own personal podcast chatting about whatever the hell his heart wants to. Reason: I like his voice, sue me.
  2. The Big Sisters aren’t Little Sisters all grown up, they’re Lamb’s first attempts at her ultimate plan with Eleanor. Except they didn’t work because the women weren’t Little Sisters first. Reason: This helps make Bioshock 1 feel successful because you don’t think Jack failed to save any sisters. This also helps explain why specifically Eleanor is needed beyond Lamb‘s ego.
  3. You can choose to put anyone you want to save on the train. Reason: Now your choices carry act moral weight instead of them just dying a little later when Rapture collapses into the sea. Also now Sinclair has to have the world’s most awkward train ride of his life and it becomes a bit like the old [Chicken Crossing puzzle](https://www.mathsisfun.com/chicken\_crossing\_solution.html) where some of them definitely will throw fists at the other.
  4. You don’t have to fight Big Daddies and can save them too. Reason: it makes me sad to kill them. BUT they work like Little Sisters. Saving them gets some ADAM, but killing them gets a shitload of supplies and ADAM. And saving them adds them to the worlds most awkward train ride with Sinclair worried about how the hell everyone’s going to fit. Save too many and you can’t all leave. Who gets to live and how do you decide?
  5. You can save Sinclair by hypnotizing him long enough to get to a surgeon topside BUT he begs you for death the entire time and the surgery isn’t entirely a success. Reason: Add a little moral complexity to the deep desire to save him. He gets his money but at what cost? It‘s finally one he has to pay himself too. Is it ethical to force a suicidal man to stay alive? Can he ever heal? Is it worth the pain to try? What is money worth when it comes to how you live your life?
  6. Tweak the wording of Lamb’s speeches. Reason: I liked the setup of Sinclair‘s ultra selfishness vs. Lamb’s ultra selflessness both leading to grave harm to others, but Lamb never felt actually selfless. I want the line drawn clearly underscoring you can hurt yourself and others by trying to put the collective above all else just as badly as you can hurt people focusing only on yourself.
  7. If you go too long without interacting with a Little Sister you unlock a mini game where you’re forced to repair Rapture‘s rivets from the outside. This should be the world’s most oddly satisfying mini game and everyone’s voice fades to the background and only Eleanor can break through to you. Reason: Youre still a Big Daddy and can’t gallavant about like you’ve got total free will. This should continually freak Sinclair out as he worries more and more about getting caught by Lamb/his air supply running out. He should be faced with the horror of the “business decisions” he signed off on biting him in the ass and taking away his ticket out of here (and potentially his friend).
  8. Part of the Johnny Topside reveal is hunting through clues to figure out if you really were CIA/KGB and it becomes increasingly clear you weren’t. The more you uncover the more Sinclair wrestles with trying to justify doing this to a perfectly innocent man. If you fail to uncover enough clues he thinks he’s justified and you were a spook. Reason: I think it’d be emotionally interesting to see Sinclair be wrong about you specifically and be unable to convince him while stuck voiceless, giving the player a grounded in current events reason to dislike Sinclair and potentially abandon or kill him. Having all the wrong be done to you pre game makes it easy to say who cares and love him anyways. Having him be a dick to you makes it juicier.
  9. Stanley Poole gets a completely different twist, it just plain didn’t land for me. Reason: because I’m objectively correct forever the end.

Any idea when these workers might be done?

Sorry for the stupid question but Google is being absolutely useless. I have a 2000 square-foot home that is currently having its roof redone. They started at 7 AM. The foreman said that they would be done in one day. Does that mean that they’ll be done by 6 PM, 7 PM? How late will they be working? I’d ask the guys that are currently here but none of them speak English.

I just need to know because I have a baby and I’d like to know if I can put him down for his usual sleep or if I’m going to have to brace myself for him being awake past his usual bedtime and losing his gourd. If they’ll be here past seven I should start adjusting his feeding schedules right now to make it easier.

I’m trying to find a picture of anyone who has made dark brown floors work with a warm cherry huuuuuuge table. I can’t figure out what search terms to use to get google/pinterest to understand wtf I’m talking about.

Does anyone have search terms I can use or pictures of cherry wood not looking foolish next to dark floors?

They’re supposed to be cinnamon rolls. I may not have had live yeast either, but I did put what I thought was live yeast in. At this point I’m baking them for science, because it’s the middle of a snowstorm.

I spent hours on these poor bastards. Godspeed to the world’s saddest cinnamon rolls, see you in thirty minutes.

edit: I was posting these live in the thread as this was unfolding, but for the newcomers here are the results + further shenanigans https://imgur.com/a/qDeMWmr

The geniuses in this comment section have solved the mystery. I truly didnthaveeggs’d these poor bastards:

  1. I used iodized salt instead of kosher salt. u/CrashUser was the one to figure that out from the fact the results tasted salty. Apparently using too much salt (and idolized is more compact than kosher so more salt per scoop) kills the yeast. That poor yeast died a redditors death.
  2. I used salted butter instead of unsalted, compounding the problem (there is a compound butter joke to be made there somewhere)
  3. I didn’t adjust for elevation at all
  4. And of course, no corn starch
