How common is this in races?
2025.01.19 02:34 OmegaRuby003 How common is this in races?
I’ve seen this a few times, but I was curious to know how many people base their fantasy races/species off of non-simian creatures. I was talking to a friend earlier about world building and I realized just how common it was to copy and paste elves and dwarves and goblins and the like into a setting, but I almost always don’t like that they look too similar to humans and l love making more fantastical beings look like they evolved naturally
As an example, my merfolk and goblins both come from the large wetlands and are both semi aquatic based while the merfolk are more like newts or salamanders and prefer to stay underwater for a lot of their lives in the several crisscrossing rivers in the area wild goblins look more like frogs with a bit of piranha in them and that’s why they live in most regions as common enemies. Granted they still need a body of water to call their home, but anywhere there’s water there can be a goblin camp. My dwarves on the other hand look like moles and instead of being forgemasters they are alchemists because I’m invent the pickax when your hands are basically giant shovels, so mix elixirs that make nails stronger and improve night vision so they can dig stone using their bodies instead of just dirt.
I have a few more examples like elves, being based on birds and being the world’s stand in for harpies to give dwarves and elves a more believable reason for hating each other or making halflings a similar situation to merfolk and goblins, being closely related to humans but as monkeys instead of apes, so ask as many questions as you like!

2025.01.19 02:34 Sure_Whatever__ Falcons are really running it back with the leftovers from the 2016 coaching staff?!
Raheem and Brich were the two coaches that didn't get poached by any other team from that stellar 2016 staff. The two coach we just fired for Arthur Smith.
This should be Rich McKay's last hurrah. If he's running it back with these two then he better be right or fuck off for the rest of life. He's proven to be a failure at finding talent time and time again and this is the cherry on top.
I mean the Jets imploded this year and we wanted a piece of that?
And he's like the 1st DC off the board. Did everyone else above him on their list say "no" already or was he top of the list?
After 28-3 and 8 seasons of failure, I hate of whatever "culture" the Falcons have been building. Just burn it the FO down at this point. Time and time again other teams clean house and turn it around yet we remain mediocre under the leadership of McKay for over 2 decades now. Fuck.
End rant.

2025.01.19 02:34 National_Exchange_80 Help me out guys
So my dad sent me money on my online payment account to add for my tuition for the upcoming semester. But it was accidentally purchased a subscription in an app called GuitarTuna and costs about ₱2390 or 40.82 dollars. I asked for a refund both on the app and the play store, but my request was denied due to policies. I don't know what to do y'all, that's my dad's last money and I don't want to be burden on him, I tried borrowing money from my friends but they are short on money too.
I don't know what to do rn, can you guys recommend on how can I get that refund back? If y'all think that's a little money, if you conver it to Peso, it's a lot so I need that money back

2025.01.19 02:34 AHumanWarrior The Plunderstore is how to do cosmetics
The Plunderstore is the perfect way to get cosmetics because you can target what you want with different items' value reflected in its price and you can earn stuff from the previous season. This is how all cosmetics should be handled in wow because it's fair, grindable, and doesn't punish people for missing the last season. A massive improvement from the renown track system they used last Plunderstorm. So, if Blizz finds this post: great job, keep it up!

Acho impressionante como a maioria do conteúdo que consumo são 90% de canais com menos de 5mil inscritos que entregam um conteúdo de extrema qualidade, parece que os cara tem sede de ensinar, geralmente o conteúdo é bem direto ao ponto e específico (principalmente quando você vai afunilando o que deseja aprender). Tem algum canal que vocês curtem demais, mas não tem tanta visibilidade assim?

2025.01.19 02:34 Quackishort I upset my parents again, now I feel terrible (might be a boring and childish read, I'm sorry)
I'm a junior in highschool right now and I am an only child. I love my parents a lot and I really appreciate everything they do for and all the money they spend on my school tuition, extracurriculars, and tutors.
But for the past couple months, I recently started seriously thinking about college, majors, and careers. Since I was in 7th grade I always wanted to be a psychiatrist or a pediatrician. However, my parents both have jobs related to business, law, finance, etc. and they have been prompting me to go down that similar path since they believe it will be the best, most comfortable option (and they think I will find a good, wealthy, and successful husband that is also in finance 😭). Like since I was like 5 years old they trained me to say that I want to be a tax lawyer when I'm older and they never introduced me to other jobs. Now, they want me to do accounting (since that's what my mom did) and then go to law school (like my dad), but when I think about my future I just don't see myself becoming a lawyer or an accountant. Being a psychiatrist is a really inspiring job to me that I feel a personal connection with. The job seems very fulfilling because I will be able to help people get better and live happier lives and see them improve. I understand that medical school is really difficult but a girl can dream :,).
I've told my parents about my desire to be a psychiatrist or pediatrician since middle school but everytime I tell them they kinda just shut me down (one time they like laughed at me and kinda made fun of me...). This is because I've had a history of struggling very hard in science (biology, chemistry, physics, you name it). Like I was failing chemistry in 8th grade at one point (but I got it up to an A), struggled in honors bio in 9th grade, and I got my first B just last semester in chemistry which completely devastated my mom. So because of this, my parents have just completely ruled out any possibility of me pursuing a career in the medical field, and they always used the excuse that no one else in our family has a career related to medicine therefore it was unrealistic for me to become one.
Just yesterday I decided to bring up my interest in being a psychiatrist to my mom in the car since we were on the topic of college, and she got frustrated at me and told me that I needed to be a genius/much smarter than I currently am to even think about going to med school and that I should just major in accounting and get a JD in law school. She had said these kind of things to me a lot in the past to make me stop thinking about being a psychiatrist and it always makes me feel really low, like she didn't believe in me even though I do everything to show her that I'm trying my best.
Today I got into an argument with both of my parents and we were talking about careers again. My mom and dad were talking about my future in finance and they were telling me what kind of jobs I can get. They were practically planning out my entire life (up to the kind of guy I should marry). I refrained from saying anything about being a psychiatrist because of the conversation I had with my mom. I think this frustration made my mood/tone sarcastic and more annoyed than I thought because they told me they "didn't like my attitude" and my dad asked me "why my mood was so bad today". So I responded saying that "I just don't want to talk about this (careers, college, and especially not marriage) and honestly I've been studying a lot lately so I'm just tired". My mom then said "Well you're a junior so you need to study, everyone does" and I hate when she says stuff like this because I feel like she's just minimizing how I feel all the time. I can't say anything about how I'm tired without someone disregarding me or making me feel like I'm complaining all the time. And I admit that maybe I was in a bad mood and I was giving them attitude but to be fair I had a lot of pent up frustration when it comes to this topic because I feel like my parents just don't want to listen to me. Meanwhile, my parents constantly tell me I'm in a bad mood or I'm not speaking to them with kindness and respect. I think the thing that made my parents most upset was when I said "if I find the right person I'll marry them, it doesn't matter that much". She told me I was being "naive" and that I didn't know anything about the "real world" and in the "real world" I'm going to need to be "strategic" with everything: who I choose to marry, career, college, etc. She also said something about how girls my age are usually "feminists" and are "naive" to think that they won't need a man who makes a lot of money. So we argued from there and I expressed how I didn't agree with her on her view of the world. Obviously, not wanting to listen to my opinions, my Asian mother ended the conversation by telling me that "it's stupid to argue with your parents who are going to pay for your entire future" and she ordered me to "get away from her" and go to my room and study. My dad retreated to his room to watch sports and told me "not to bother him". Another argument with my parents where they both just end up completely leaving me and not hearing me out.
I hate myself for speaking to my parents angrily and making them upset at me but I just want them to understand my point of view for once. I know I'm only 16, I don't know a lot about the "real world", and don't have enough expertise to make big decisions for myself. And my mom is probably right about me not being smart enough for medical school and the chances of me pursuing a career in medicine are very low, but no career is impossible and I'll never know if it will work out or not if I don't at least keep that possibility open. I don't want to close doors for myself just because my parents want me to do something else. In college, I still want to try things I'm not good like chemistry and biology because even though I'm not good at it now, there's still a chance I could be good at it 2 years from now if I work hard. I still want to believe that there is a different reality than the one that my parents want me to live. I feel like I will be miserable if I do what they want me to do and I will forever But a part of me thinks that maybe they are right, I'm being stupid, naive and spoiled, and I should just do what they want me to do because they know more than me and want the best for me.
I've been feeling so much stress and anger about this lately and I picked my face and now I'm bleeding and my fingernails are practically nonexistent because of how much I chewed them. (I'm sorry this is such a random and kinda gross detail 😭) I don't know anymore, I just don't want to have regrets but I also don't want my parents to think I'm stupid or unappreciative because all I want to do is make them proud and not have them think they wasted their money on me but I feel like I make them angry and annoyed so easily and it's just too much.
Anyways I'm sorry this is super long or badly written. I'm probably going to go cry now but thanks if you read all of it.
