Lurker > DarkRoast

Being practical and pragmatic are important. It's just true. I've been in places in my life to know these things. Some doctors today are absolute quacks themselves.

Next thing you know they will be doing some larry nassar shit to you.

In life there are three qualities of the mind:

Intelligence is your innate ability to learn things quickly and put that knowledge to use.

Knowledge is the active acquisition of information and is not imparted without some effort.

Wisdom is the integration of the two and the subsequent willingness to recognize that there are things you don't know.

This is what i mean. I'm actually talking about common sense. Like how people work through their issues. DarkRoast is a fraud. He probably is paranoid himself. How people gain security in their lives and everything. People need to be able to work through issues on their own.

Medicine is as much "common sense" as engineering is.

And you shouldn't just decide "I can build a bridge"

I have been frontstabbed, and backstabbed too many times by doctors in recent times. They will lie to your face and diagnose you with nonsense behind your back. When it's pretty obvious if you have any sense yourself what is going on. And it's true. Some things really aren't overestimating your own capabilities.

I agree a lot of doctors are dangerous now. They are arrogant and have moral agendas and don't listen. They will take your money and waste your time and sell you shit. They don't have the integrity they used to where there are more logical solutions to problems sometimes and if you challenge some of them they will get enraged out of their own paranoia because what they are doing is immoral.

In my experience, patients grossly overestimate their competence in being able to determine what is scientifically and medically sound advice and what is quackery.

Maliwan is really good for armored / shielded stuff. I always keep one of their plasma guns on hand.

I've heard Hyperion becomes necessary at high level endgame stuff in BL3 because the shield is basically required.

The fact that there's no indication if a game is using it, no way to control if a game will or won't use it, and the inconsistency with whether or not a game uses it, is just ridiculous. I'm amazed more people and reviewers haven't mentioned that issue.

Frankly, I'm not at all impressed with it.

Because there's literally no indication of which games will use it and which won't, and it's irritating as hell because of it.

And even games that do use it aren't consistent about it.

Trump literally spent months feeding these nutcases red meat, then deliberately had them rally right outside the Capitol building at the exact time Congress was in session, ****ing paid to have them bussed there, then told them to engage in "trial by combat."

He deliberately refused to denounce QAnon. He knew what he was doing. The fact that he refused to call in the National Guard is proof.

I'm pretty sure they can if they issue a subpoena and the person refuses, but then it becomes a separate legal process to get it enforced.

That's what I was getting at with my later post. Honestly, I'm not sure they have enough information right now to actually win that kind of fight.

Theoretically Congress could subpoena a witness formally, but I suspect that'd be hard to do in this case.

It's not a criminal trial - I don't think anyone, Trump included, is required to testify.

No, the timeline shifting puzzles imply that both timelines already exist. The future timeline will have existed ever since he pulled the sword, no matter what kind of action is performed in the past timeline. Link wanted to save both timelines.

I don't think timeline shifting puzzles prove anything, actually.

Other than they prove that changing the past clearly changes the future.

Which, if anything, implies that when Link warns Zelda and King Hyrule about Ganondorf, the "Adult Time" should theoretically change into the Child Timeline.

If doing something in the past clearly alters the world in Adult Link's timeline, it stands to reason that arresting and imprisoning Ganondorf means that he never actually accomplished anything in the Adult Timeline.

Even if they remained two separate timelines, they would be essentially identical.

It doesn't really matter if Link warns the king or not. Without the master sword Ganondorf can't be defeated.

There's also no such thing as a "timeline" which is literally just fanfiction made up by Dark Horse and someone at Nintendo rubber stamped it without reading it.

But if such a thing were to occur it would be because Ganondorf was sealed away preventing him from reaching Hyrule Castle aka Twilight Princess.

In all fairness, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess literally directly contradict each other's accounts of what happened to Ganondorf.

But that's really all fans have to go on.

Things get REALLY weird with Breath of the Wild, though, because you literally find the broken Mirror of Twilight (Child Timeline) and there are clear references to Hyrule being previously flooded, with Ganondorf's actual body being buried under the castle (Adult Timeline).

Link's 17 in ALttP, and Wind Waker hadn't happened yet in release order or in-universe.
Young Link is 9. I don't think he would physically be able to lift the Master Sword. Wind Waker is a cartoon and thus has cartoon physics so of course he can lift it.

There are a million and one time travel stories. Link has never time travelled before. What reason does he have to believe that he needs to save the future AND stop the future from ever happening at all?

I looked it up, and according to Nintendo, Link was 16 in Wind Waker, which actually makes him older than Adult Link in Ocarina of Time. In SSBB a trophy claimed he was 12, however that was later retconned explicitly by Nintendo.

Like Neville being the "Chosen One" in Harry Potter, the Split Timeline thing was obviously not intentional by Nintendo but was retroactively made canonical as fanservice.


---

Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ

there is no reason to assume that the future timeline universe just ceases to exist.

Literally everyone assumed this until Wind Waker and Twilight Princess had conflicting accounts of what happened to Ganondorf.

Lest we not forget, Majora's Mask was quite literally a direct Child Timeline sequel.

Wind Waker's account seemingly went with Adult Link's timeline but at the time people passed it off as being basically a summary of what Link experienced in OoT.

Then TP flipped it on its head and clearly went with Zelda and King Hyrule imprisoning Ganondorf before he could do anything.

that's not how it works

Only after retroactively claiming that split timelines occurred.

In a purely linear cause-and-effect sense, Young Link will never exist in a world where Ganondorf takes over.

Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ

Aside from split timeline shenanigans, the easiest solution is to put the sword back in the pedestal and warn Zelda and the King of Hyrule, preventing the bad future from happening at all.
