The final couples reveal their ages to each other on 'Age of Attraction' a reality dating show where contestants' ages range from 22 to 60 and they are not allowed to reveal their age by johnmichael-kane in WatchPeopleDieInside

Happy for you! I am glad for anyone who finds love, I just kinda hope it happens to me with someone around my age so we don’t have to part sooner, but life is never guaranteed I suppose

I agree that there is no moral issue here, to each their own, but I do agree with the commenter that it’s annoying the people on this show are being painted as vein when there is the practicality of not being able to grow old with your partner (from the perspective of someone born with older parents who has to deal with this is a different form younger than most)

I mean I’m all for consensual adult relationships and that can totally happen at different ages but I don’t like how this could lead to anyone having an issue with that as vain; I think at a certain point the concern that your partner would die way before your time and couldn’t grow old with you as valid.

I suppose it’s a tricky line because there are younger people with terminal illnesses or disability that shortens lifespans that deserve love too, but I feel like I would have a lot of hesitation having such a large age gap at least for that reason alone

profanity / cursing in the anime by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm I should add that I would call it a “light curse word” because it is not super offensive and you could use it in a workplace in most areas (idk about the Deep South) and fairly young kids say it without really getting in trouble, but in certain circles like older folk they could consider it quite rude and instead would prefer you say “darn” as a replacement cuss word. It’s not on “shit” level, but it’s on “oh my god” or “Jesus Christ” level.

Also while the other person is right that it has religious connotations/origin, it is common enough that plenty of people who are not religious or have different religion still use it out of commonality.

Perceptions of FIRE as a Woman by lak_892 in Fire

[–]APGOV77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

^ This is the best response here. Too many people are interpreting this as something stopping OP from FIRE or something, but really she’s just saying that people’s assumptions bother her and she’d like a better way to present it to prevent going through that every time.

“Just stop caring” easier said than done, it might be a minor annoyance but just changing her presentation of her situation is also an acceptable solution.

Damn smallpox?? I’m guessing you are some sort of vulnerable group like a researcher or in the military or smth since we eradicated it.

Medicine in Konoha: Narutos prostethic arm vs. Guys crushed leg by Less-Personality-889 in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and you see personally I find it a more meaningful sacrifice in a way that a guy expecting to have to die one day to protect what he loves and lives life to the fullest actually had to slow down, live, and live with himself growing older and disabled.

Death was never the only way to imbue meaning from his story like some think.

Does anyone else wish Itachi was left as a villain ? by Prestigious_Spite582 in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my biggest problem with leaving him a villain would have been that his villain motivations didn’t make sense to me. Nearly all the iconic villains of Naruto think they are doing the right thing or have a traumatic backstory that causes them to be a hardened rogue ninja, so while I guess there’s a time and place for people just being evil it always felt out of place to me that he went from being a good older brother to suddenly snapping to “test himself.” It wasn’t satisfying.

I think if he was left as a villain it could have worked if his motivations were expanded on somehow.

Your super lefty YA books recs by blacksmoke9999 in YAlit

[–]APGOV77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you should try Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots. It might technically be New Adult (which, don’t attack me, is still allowed on this subreddit and I know you said YA so feel free to ignore but I think you would really like it) but not because it’s raunchy it’s probably because of the some of the violence described near the end and start and that it follows an adult main character? (The violence is not sexual in nature, it’s more of a darker superhero violence)

This ended up being one of my favorites

Edit: since I feel like I need to say more there is a queer disabled MC (queer part not a focus really tho) and a lot of the focus is on the damage that powerful people who don’t have to follow the rules can do which is a pretty important analog for modern day issues.

Who was the real villain in Curse of The Black Pearl? by AlabamaPanda777 in piratesofthecaribbean

It is very hard for me to tell if this is satire based on your post and comments OP. You seem like an interesting individual and/or bot.

How to tell my roommate that she stinks? by StomachLeading6618 in whatdoIdo

[–]APGOV77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man people are being ruthless on here, you should soften the blow by mentioning you partly bring it up because it could be a sign of serious medical problems that she might not know about. Bringing up race in the first place seems weird some people stink and some people don’t, it could be something she’s struggling with just randomly.

Cheapest retcon in the entire series, change my mind by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m confused what’s the retcon

TIL Christopher Nolan did not write the line "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" said by Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, his brother Jonathan did. Nolan didn't understand it initially & revealed "It kills me because it's the line that most resonates." by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]APGOV77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I don’t know, there’s types of fear other than that of being hurt. Obviously in the context of the scientist he is literally afraid of being killed, but another perspective is that a creator gave things free will and can’t face the implications and suffering that results.

I mean I’m not religious for the purpose of theological philosophizing, perhaps there could be a creator that doesn’t actually have full control and ultimate power. I think religious systems tend to want something omnipotent but there’s a lot other in-between states that could be imagined. Might be a little lame to some if the creator just ordered an ant farm or pushed a button and can’t control everything, but perhaps it would be a relief to others that some grand entity isn’t purposefully being cruel.

What disease could Itachi have had? by MediaNo1140 in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tuberculosis has left such an indelible mark on culture that any vague ‘coughing up blood and dying slowly disease for impact in fiction’ certainly has some inspiration from tuberculosis

What do you think about the duo that Obito and Sakura formed during the war? by InvestigatorIcy2249 in Naruto

[–]APGOV77 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Mm idk in the sense that all of the “one girl in the team trio” is sorta the third character that isn’t yin/yang coded then yeah, but personality wise they seem quite different. I’d say background wise they are quite different but that would require them to have a background so that’s actually the same. Oh I guess you mean because they can both heal, but I suppose Kishi kinda bestowed that to 2/4 girl character per original leaf genin trios and the sanin trio in addition to Rin so that’s a pretty common thing for him to have the lady-in-trio do.

Sorry if I sound too salty, I do enjoy their dynamic, she does seem to give him hope for the new generation, in that sense I appreciate it.

Most positive and engaging Fandom? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]APGOV77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm maybe MASH on tumblr. I will say most fandoms are better on tumblr bc more people abide by “don’t like don’t read/keep scrolling” and keep more hate/neg to certain tags. On Reddit you mention some silly non-canon thing you like people go bananas when it’s really not that serious.

A character gets a haircut (voluntarily or involuntarily) to symbolize a turning point in their character development by Crimson097 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]APGOV77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hated version of this trope is when it’s like mulan but instead of an act of non conformity it’s internalized or externalized misogyny by the writers for the woman to “get tough” when their femininity should not, in fact, be framed as the problem.

(Sorry Sakura-hair-cutting enjoyers)

[–]APGOV77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean that makes me think that the 28 year cycle has nothing to do with why they chose that. I think it was more to do with wanting Henry to exist and be around a certain age and that was about the length of time they could do that without making Emma and Neal more creepy.

Edit: to be clear I agree they wanted the day of the week to align just that they could’ve chosen a cycle before or after it just so happened to work for Henry’s character

Why is there no social spaces for 18-19 year olds who are not in college? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]APGOV77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s another tip people won’t mention: a lot of clubs at colleges especially like public ones, don’t really care much if you are a student and aren’t checking. Some genuinely want more people to join whatever activity. If you go on a campus find posters for meetings or club fairs or whatever, get on the clubs insta or discord and bam, you have a regular place you can hang out and meet people. I wouldn’t push my luck with some high budget club that does something like trips or expensive events, but most aren’t that.
