The biggest problem isn't the female lead. It's the fact that it is a trash female lead. Atsu, Ellie and Faye. And I'm not even talking about storyline because Ellie definitely deserves her spotlight time. But she was thrown into a bad plot that was shared by that dudette monstrosity known as Abby. But rather because every one of them almost across the board are getting downgraded and nerfed have no good personalities, are symbols of activism, and do not reflect the handsomeness of the male protagonist they are stepping into the shoes of. For example Faye is much better looking in her earlier appearances in the very series, but they decided that for some reason in the afterlife you have to look geriatric. Because when you die if you die of old age you're going to be a man who looks like he needs to be in a wheelchair for the rest of eternity. When that applies to no other character in the setting. Or using a gay activist who decides to go public before launch. Or while the men are muscular and conventionally handsome by any good metric, you have females that are less than the average woman you see walking around day to day.
@Mosnter_pe@Jesii_ca_M I would never ask something of a woman I would not be willing to do myself if I was in her shoes. There are things that women expect of men, and there are things men expect of women.
The answer is complicated. If it is just a hobby or something that you do for fun then go as long as you like as old as you like. But if it is hindering you from growing or taking important roles out of your life then you need to let it go at some point or at the very least draw back on it. It is amazing how many people need to cut back. Yet much like watching movies or other forms of entertainment it depends almost entirely on what you are watching or playing and why. There's a difference between a hobby, and obsession.
@dbs_10_10 To those saying time chamber. You don't stay young in there, and isn't gravity worse in there? And can't you replant Senzu Beans and grow a crop?
@EmilySm43 Heck, any mom. That said it's complex, what's the situation, what else is in the cart? If her cart is absolutely packed with candy, crackers and pop and she's putting away the baby formula because she can't afford it is different.
@xCl0b3rx@dbs_10_10 Look at the end result, Krillen won. Krillen got the best wife, the best life, he gets to semi-retire. And 18 doesn't berate him. In all honesty she's the most wholesome wife in the series.
@siblings44429 Uhh, most people can't stand her because she started as a fake strong woman who needs Sasuke, then needs Naruto but is naive callous and cruel to both.
And even though she's grown into a genuinely good character since hear early days, well... a lot of people don't forgive.
Honestly, me and my ex didn't really get a launch but I still consider her a dear friend. If she sent me that text I'd assume she was trying to reconnect with me. And I'd probably initiate contact. The reason things didn't work out was because her parents where toxic and she's tied too tightly to them.
This has turned what should be a tip into extortion. Tips where a generosity once. A thing to thank for exceptional service a 'keep the change' moment to warm the heart.
Now the industry has started to underpay workers to make it mandatory. It's... disgusting. And why a lot of servers in some non US countries look down on tipping.
@EmilySm43 Depends on the source anger. Deep, hateful anger can't be calmed. Only pushed back with love and kindness.
If he's angry about something that happened, respect, space and a listening ear will do more than gold.
If he's angry because over a bad day; Sex if you're married.
