The root implication of manversusbaby’s reply is that child birth is not the only thing women can achieve. The purpose of using great examples like Marie Curie is to bury jaicilgin in the ground, not to impose greatness on everyone else.
The “less great” achievements, such as living with endometriosis, being funny, knowing a lot about birds, being able to knit a sweater, while being a woman are not forgotten, they’re just not as punchy.
Holy shit do we have a dumbass here. That’s not what post-modernism is, dude. You’re saying the same shit that christians do about athiests, that morality can only exist if jesus himself pelvic thrusts it into you.
I’m gonna be real, if you need an authoritarian daddy to tell you what is right and wrong, I actually do not trust you.
I can say those people are evil because they’re evil. It’s really easy.
Improv doesn’t have to be on a stage.
To practice improv is just to practice social skills. And, I don’t know how else to say this, a lack of social skill is the fundamental root problem here. Anyone who lacks confidence in this way is going to have to learn them one way or another.
A real first step might be learning to be brave and charging through one’s anxiety to get to the improv center, but they have to go. Whether it’s improv or something else, they have to go.
Well, that is criminal.
It’s one of my core beliefs that you shouldn’t waste kinetic energy.
It’s definitely that. Those guardrails often give out on the 3rd or even 2nd reply:
Whoa whoa whoa, what’s with the third degree?
I couldn’t tell you, but I imagine OP just has a sort of old-fashioned “what transferrable skills is it teaching you” view of the whole thing. They’re not being aggressive, it’s okay to just explain.
The joke is that this speech, imo tastefully read in the voice of a sinister anime villain, is an utterly ridiculous thing for a person to say. It doesn’t even make sense, really. That’s why it’s funny, it’s funny that it doesn’t make any sense.
I would know. This saying things that almost make sense kinda but really, really don’t thing is, like, my whole brand. It’s damn near the only joke I tell.
I once boasted to a friend of mine “my pussy is huge. Cavernous, even. I could fit a hundred cigarettes in there.” Now, a vagina? Cigarettes? Disgusting! Why would I say that? Because measuring a vagina’s diameter in how many cigarettes it can, I dunno, smoke at once? is absurd. It’s ridiculous. It doesn’t even make sense, really.
The meme is about shitting a giant log.
I think that’s a little bit like flirting with cigarettes because they can help you deal with stress. Which, I agree people will do, and quitting cold turkey isn’t a simple matter either, but should they do it? Like, morally? I still think it’s an unambiguous no.
That said, some friend of mine being really into horoscopes or whatever isn’t really at the top of my world problems to-do list. So long as they’re not getting sucked into any flat earth alt-right pipelines, it’s probably not worth the effort.
Oh actually, one more thing. This here:
Turns out, when you think the world is less chaotic and more sorted out, it’s less exhausting to think about.
This is true, and it’s one of the main factors that drives MAGA. Outside of the psycho-sexual one, anyway.
Anxiety will drive people toward simple, actionable answers, whether they’re correct or not, because there’s comfort in thinking you know why your life sucks. It could be God’s plan, it could be that brown people are ruining the country; it’s magical thinking that doesn’t need to make any sense, it just needs to soothe—not unlike a cigarette.
Not to imply that all religious people are MAGA. I know there are some good natured folks out there.
Not to get too reddit athiest about it, but the main problem I’d have with even innocent spiritualism is that it’s a bad habit, basically. If somebody believes something that isn’t empirical, you can’t use empiricism to bring them out of that pit. And the more they train that muscle, the stronger it is, you know?
It creates a bunch of mental sweater-snags that either prevent people from believing obviously true things, or that allow them to be yoinked by snake oil salesmen into wackier and wackier positions.
James Sunderland’s external pressure was his wife’s disease. What are you talking about?
The stuff that you’re saying isn’t there is, if you’re paying attention.
And the game’s combat style is plenty Silent Hill.
These are the 3 underpinnings of all Silent Hill combat systems. Every title has them.
I am kidding, though. Once you understand what Silent Hill f wants you to do, the gameplay is actually quite fun. I beat it on its super hard mode; not as difficult as you would think.
Not to mention, all of the fighting in this game, I get why people are frustrated, but it serves a narrative purpose. Hinako’s defining character trait is rage. The game compels you diegetically to rage with her.
And I feel you about to say “Silent Hill isn’t Doom Eternal,” but anger is a pretty dark emotion, I do actually think it’s worth exploring.
The main problem I have with this line of thinking is that I don’t think you leave any room for experimentation. It’s just grievance politics, basically. “This isn’t a Silent Hill game” doesn’t really mean anything, what it means is “it wasn’t what I wanted,” which is fine, but I think you’re trying to dress that opinion up in fancier clothes than it deserves.
For example, Doki Doki Panic is a Mario game. Not only was it made by the Mario team, using their Mario lessons, but it’s the codifier for a ton of modern Mario staples. Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, Peach’s float ability all debuted in Doki Doki Panic. You can’t really separate it from Mario history; it’s deeply entangled.
I think it’s important to consider that, if you had some aim to release something annually, but without taking any oblique compromises on quality, how would you announce this to people without pissing them off? Because a lot of people are going to hear the word ‘annual’ and just immediately seize.
I think, and I’m not saying this is true per se, but I think that they’re signaling an aim or a hope, and not that there will be a CI pipeline that auto releases the next Assassin’s Creed to stores no matter what state it’s in.
If they can’t keep pace with yearly releases, the language used tells me they’re willing to slow down, kind of exactly like how Resident Evil has.
I will be disappointed if it turns out Konami can’t keep their cock in their pants, of course, but SH2, SHf, and what I think I’ve heard about MGS3 all tell me that there is some effort to produce things that are worth seeing here, which I’m fine with.
Um, the part where it was fun and creepy? And drenched in symbolism. I don’t know what you’re asking.
I think you’re implying that they made a game called f and then called it Silent Hill f, but I don’t think that’s even remotely true. I don’t even know where to go with that.
We may as well ask if Ocarina of Time isn’t a good Zelda game because the 3D elements stray too far from the core experience of having crazy pink hair. Would it have mattered if that game was instead called “Golden Billy Wets His Willy in Medieval Japan”?
Not that I clicked on the article, but the quote given by OP actually doesn’t worry me too much. It feels too me like there is an appropriate level of caution here. I don’t get the impression they’re trying to do an Activision.
Resident Evil was near annual for a bit, and only the 3 remake do I really hear people complain about.
Over the last 4 months or so, I’ve been learning quite a bit about spiders, like the fact that jumping spiders can count.
Researchers would set the spider up on an elevated platform where they could see like 3 flies or something, but to get them, they’d have to plan a route through a bit that will blind them briefly. If they come out of the blind and see that the flies are not 3 anymore, they’ll hesitate and watch for a bit, as if they’re surprised or suddenly uncertain.
They’re also capable of learning. Orb weavers rebuild their webs every night, and they build it differently depending on what prey they expect to find. But not only that, if a prey goes absent, but is reintroduced later, they’re quicker to resume a web that worked for that kind before.
It’s important not to humanize too much; you may make assumptions that will get you in trouble. But, I do think there’s a little consciousness in that small body.
I think Trump is too stupid to play the game well, but I think he does try to. It’s like when nazis hiding among normies use super top-secret phrases like “goyim”—they think they’re being clever.
He’s speaking in metaphor, which he seems to like doing often because, like his dumb pedophile cohort, he thinks he’s the Riddler or something.
He doesn’t need to actually believe in an afterlife to reference one.
Hell fuckin yeah it is, that’s my favorite part of the game!
I want to point out a stronger contention in your favor: Republicans in the US are murdering their own citizens right now. I don’t think they are demonstrating much worth at the moment.
