Actually, Goethe based his version of the tale of from another theatrical adaptation of the legend - an English adaptation, no less. But yes, the legend long predates the play, and Doktor Fausts Höllenzwang was THE grimoire of German witchcraft legends.

The show is created by a young woman named Lauren Faust – if that names seems familiar to you it should be: According to legend, Faust was the name of the person who sold his soul to the devil in return for great wealth and power. It’s highly probable that Satan has chosen Ms Faust to be his modern-day emissary of evil.

Doctor Faustus, aka Johann Georg Faust, was, in fact, a real itinerant charlatan… who lived five hundred years ago. Even if Lauren Faust is a direct patrilinear descendant* of the good doctor - while it is certainly no common German family name, I highly doubt no other family bears the name of “fist” -, some twenty generations separate them, one ancestor out of over a million in the generation.

* I did check that this is indeed her maiden name, not acquired by marriage.

PS:
Also, Lauren Faust was born in 1974, making her 35/36 when MLP: Friendship is Magic was released in 2010, and a bit over a month away from turning 50 at the time of writing. Not that young a woman. By the way, you don’t even need to skim her Wikipedia page to find these dates.

"Abnormal"? They are not even trying to hide behind a cause greater than conformity and hatred of the Other!

So, do you have any proposal on how one could possibly prevent any player from chosing to self-represent with a character of the opposite sex, safe to ban anything more personal than explicit Non-Entity Generals or very non-person genderless main characters (e.g. a non-anthropomorphic robot) . and no, not giving a choice is not a solution, since it would force girls to play a male characters or boys to play a female character?

@Zinnia #198882
…what?
That’s units of measurements - conventions of physics -, not mathematics. And squaring, cubing, et cetera the unit of length is the best way, precisely because it’s a special case.

And in case you ask why the circle in mathematics is the one with r=1 rather than D=1 or A=1, the unit circle, besides being the totality of points at 1 away from a point (and the unit disk all points 1 or less), making it of special mathematical interest, is (or mmore specifically, its [1,1] quadrant is) fundamental to trigonometry, and there are certainly many more features of interest an actual mathematician could describe.

PS:
The 1-unit-of-length square/cube/n-cube is the special case ideal for definition because it is both the direct application of the concept of extending length towards higher dimensions and the easiest to construct, but all regular shapes are special cases. In real life, most things are irregular in shape. And furthermore, the irrational nature of π makes it ill-suited for defining a basic derived unit.

That makes no sense to me.
1. Circles, ellipses and polygons are types of shapes constructed differently. Side length is only applicable to the latter.
The areas are not defined as either the one or the other, they are different, equally valid but unequally convenient, ways to calculate the same measure (of a shape, which is the thing defined). And so the convenient way to calculate is the standard for that shape. If anything, the rectangle is the special case (which can then be used to easily calculate some other special cases, like the right triangle as half a rectangle or the regular octagon as a truncated square) - generalised, the easiest way to express the area of a regular polygon would be 1/2 perimeter times the apogee (inradius), as they increasingly approximate a circle (with an area of r*2πr/2=πr².

@Skyknight #198852

Just iconoclastic fantasies, as far as I can tell.

@Zinnia #198853

The circle (two-dimensional sphere) is defined as the totality of points (within a plane) at a given distance known as the radius, which is also how you draw one. As such, it makes sense to use the radiuds. And I do not see what your objection is.

I’m not the only one who is pretty sure they are not aware of the actual Black Nobility - thet is, historical nobles in Cerntral Italy that were the vassals of the Pope or later supported the independence of the Papacy after the Italian unification - and are at best, but most likely not even, appropriating some generically ominous word they glimpsed in some anti-Catholic pamphlet for their own conspiracy nonsense, am I?

Ha, ha, ha.

Now do all the stories about happy heterosexual couples, especially those set before second-wave Feminism...

PS:
Also, (even) more seriously:
IIRC, the high domestic violence rates experienced by women in homosexual relationships is primarily due to domestic violence including attacks by ex-partners, and men who are this sort of abusive feel even more entitled to revenge against and/or “reconquering” women who escaped them if her new guy is a girl. (I presume not just out of homophobia, but also because it makes their insecurity about their sexual performance, self-fulfilling due to their inability and/or refusal to empathise with women, all the more acute.)

Yeah like the uterus transplants😭 TIMs believe it will happen in 10-20 years even though doctors can’t cure female reproductive illnesses (endometriosis, PCOS, ect) or female cancers.

What an absurd conspiratorial false dichotomy. I do not see any way how one could figure out how to transplant an uterus and get it to work in a karyotypical male without discoveries and developments that would not be applied, far easier in fact, to the reproductive health of ciswomen.

. They lie, cheat, steal,

You mean, like Trump’s habit of not paying his contractors?

they own media

Like TruthSocial?

The people calling Trump a dictator just framed him & convicted him for a crime they can’t name.

Are you pretending that being able to rattle off all thirty-two charges in the least juicy of Trump’s trials off the cuff is a realistic expectation, or am I giving you too much credit and you just assume that, since you never cared to look the slightest bit into the trial, no one else has? In any case, this information is readily available.

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #wingnut

Also, Trump is no longer in power. And yes, dictators leaving their throne alive and without an outright violent revolution or putsch does happen, whether because of the pressure of protest and/or the failures of the system growing too strong or a regime-internal takeover by a new dictator. And in either case, yes, the former dictator is very much at risk to be put on trial and convicted.

Trump is not a dictator. He is an incompetent wannabe dictator. He tried to rule autocratically, he tried to prevent the transition of power, he is still trying to put himself above the law. But he failed, because he is too dumb and lazy and politically ignorant to actually take over a functioning democracy. However, if elected again, he would try again… certainly not with any more sophistication or diligence, but all the more ruthlessly and shamelessly and stubbornly - and with the Supreme Court filled with far-righters and with the Republican Party radicalising itself ever more into a shameless fascist personality cult to Trump, it may work this time.

Could you convict Putin? Or Xi Jinping of China? They’d have you executed. If Trump was a dictator no one could steal his election, indict him, censor him, gag him, frame him, convict him?

So why have the Democrat Communist Tyrants™ not executed and/or Disappeared Trump yet?
Also, if Donald Trump is this saviour figure with the power to defeat the “Deep State”, why were They able to steal the election after four years of Trump “draining the Swamp”, even though They failed to stop him from being elected in the first place when Darth Obama was still in power?
It’s almost as if neither the Deep State nor Trump’s efforts to fight it are real…

I think it is entirely possible that such a crash says less about the support Trump has than the quality of the site’s setup.

In any casa:
The self-declared champion of the people, a self-declared billionaire, leading the self-declared party of Christian morality and personal responsibility, is trying to fleece his followers for his legal expanses for failing to bribe a prostitute he committed adultery with into silence properly.
And it works.
Truly an immaterial monument to the Republican culture of gullibility and hypocrisy.

Probably because various races of giants are mentioned in the Bible, but always only in tantalisingly cryptic references to lost mythology, allowing them to take the cake and eat it, too, in regards to Biblical literalism and wild speculation.
(See also: Enoch, Nimrod; there is also Leviathan, but with him, they go the alternate route of ignoring all the implications and reduce him to just some big mortal sea creature or even a mere crocodyle, rather than the unambiguous Chaoskampf monster undefeatable by mere mortals with allusions to both creation and end-times myths he clearly is.)

So, how long until we have people claiming that all history before the late 1990s is a Big Lie because civilisation could not possibly have been possible without the World Wide Web?

“But real quick on the giants, you can’t have Darwinism, you can’t have evil-ution, you can’t have Big Bang with giants,” Hibbeler said

How so? Humans are probably close to as big as humanoids/primarily upright bipedal creatures can get on Earth due to biophysical constraints, but if it were possible, there is nothing that would prevent the evolution of giants - and in fact, gigantism (as well as its inverse) is a well-recognised recurrent phenomenon in evolution.

The guy creates a Poem giving her the words that only a Goddess can hear. Goddesses cannot really stand hearing what they want to hear from each other. It's already known.
The boy, the subject of the Goddess, who not like any other as she has known and seen. Brings her delight. She see's a smaller willful subject, unlike her own. He is a strange and unusual creation.

A homophobe, a conspiracy theorist, a sexist and a cringe “chivalrous” simp to boot. Wonderful.
(I do not think it’s cartoons “pushing the gay agenda” that are preventing your Poems from enthralling your Goddess like they are “supposed to”, Prince Caspian…)

Also, speak for yourself. I, for one, am a heterosexual man who very much longs for an equal who has a lot in common with me. Sure, if she has traits, talents, skills that compliment my own, wonderful, but this is not the core of my heart's desire.

Since the Bible says that the man is the head of the household,

It is interesting that they believe that something as small and basic a freaking nuclear - as they love to clarify - family needs a designated leader (with absolute unshared power, no less) is… interesting. In part, this is certainly something that is a cargo-cult relic from times where households would frequently include not only extended family, but even slaves, servants, farmhands, etc. But more importantly, it speaks to their authoritarianism, to the depth to which prescriptive hierarchy is ingrained in their mindset.
