Spanking children is a sure way to teach them that sexual abuse is okay. There is nothing normal about pulling down the pants of child and hitting them in the behind while they scream no and try to get away. You’re teaching them that no matter how loud they scream and how much they cry and try to get away that they have to just take it. See how that mimics rape. And even worse, parents will tell their kids “I love you” right after. Teaching children that their abusers can love them still. Then people will deadass have the nerve to be confused as to why adults get into abuse cycles that literally mimic the same abuse that their parents inflicted upon them.
A lot of women will not accept that they simply hate if the men in their lives are not actively making their lives worse to please them. If you are not at all times providing you are considered disgusting and worthless. God forbid he has any enjoyment in his life.
I’m about 40 pages into Dungeon crawler Carl and so far…this is not a well written book. It’s entertaining in a goofy-ass way but the world building is tenuous at best and it’s really gonna have to sell me soon for me to keep reading
It does seem somewhat unreasonable that there is no level of cultural osmosis that would lead your character to know even basic info about legendary monsters. You're telling me no one is going around singing songs about dragons or doing plays of famous heroic battles?
One: You've already fucked up because a 5 year old usually can't read enough to learn on the internet that a silver bullet kills a werewolf, so unless someone tells the 5 year old that, they're not going to know that off rip.
Two: You're saying your character is actually so knowledgeable you know the specific breath attack of one of the more rare dragons in FR?
Blue dragons are exceptionally rare, and unless your character has a first hand account or knows how to read and actually did the research in the game- no, you don't just know that blue dragons have lightning breath.
You want to see if you know that? Roll a history check with disadvantage for your egotistical attitude.
I love Rian's work in literally every other movie rather than this one. The issue is that it is way too far of a massive departure from both the previous film and Star Wars as a whole. You can't just do a deconstruction film in the middle of a trilogy.
rian johnson dared to treat his audience like fucking adults who appreciate new stories that aren't just rehashes of the same old characters/tropes. the fanbase never forgave him for that
@GMShivers A lot of this is due to local governments either making stupid or greedy decisions like Chicago selling all of the parking meters in the city to a corporation for 60 years or making a ton of unnecessary red tape around building houses or starting businesses
The issue is that people are looking at things from the wrong direction. People don't need to be paid more, the cost of living needs to decrease. Cheap housing, free/cheap education and free healthcare would drastically lower cost for the middle and lower classes.
The funniest part of this was all the people proudly saying they know how it works because they ran a business and you look it up and it's single person businesses with 30-60k in debt.
Most businesses aren't viable. They are running on debt until they're not. The expected failure rate is 80%. People opting out of doing that are going to be competing in a smaller job market with you. Millenials already stopped starting businesses.
Jobs are made when someone who could make and sell X product themselves for 8 hrs a day and make Y money but hiring an extra pair of hands will +2% Money after expenses. If +2% money is gone there is no reason to hire.
Do workers deserve to earn enough to live on after working a full week ? Of course. Does that mean a business owner can or would absorb that loss when the incentive to have an extra pair of hands is gone? No. People are just reminding you it's not a fat hog but youre going to slaughter it on the presumption it is.
We could all find a way if we respected each other a bit more and not treat this like a murder mystery dinner where someone is definitely the murderer.
If you eat meat and feel any other way about it than this, you are lying to yourself and it’s crazy that you let a mcdonald’s double baconator compromise your morals this easily
@thinkiamsad It should be if it is possible for vampires to drink from humans consentually. Also most vampires in literature do not need to kill the person they are drinking from to survive. It's more akin to taking milk from a cow.
@PitcheVirdia@G0ffThew@JadenJTW Firefighters and EMTs are less than 1% of the population. Where are you going to get 50%+ more people with no way to communicate and coordinate?
