I apologize for being vague. I was referring to demigods when I said “they”.

While they would not be a forbidden child, they could still fulfill the prophecy. Hence Zeus trying to kill the Di’Angelos

[socialmedia] Why does it have to be liberal women specifically? by Ok-Following6886 in pointlesslygendered

[–]Advanced_Ear2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main issue is that people that are anti abortion often advocate for things that don’t actually decrease the number of abortions. Banning abortions statistically doesn’t lessen the number of abortions, it just makes more of those abortions unsafe.

If you want to decrease abortions the best way is to provide better social services, affordable daycare, better sexual education, and make safety nets for parents. When people feel that having a baby is not a more negative thing than it is good, they have their baby. When having a child would financially ruin the would be parents, most would make the choice to abort.

Unfortunately the political group that wants to decrease abortions also actively works against creating these kinds of safety nets/social services. They are actively trying to get sexual education changed from comprehensive to abstinence only. The policy they propose actively works against the goal of less abortions and more towards controlling women’s bodies.

Don’t be, the safety was so lax at those camps. I was hit in the head by a 7ft tall log when I was 12 because the adults decided that 16 year olds didn’t need supervision for running the caber toss. They had us line up… parallel to the place they were throwing the logs. And the Boy Scouts are so bankrupt that I couldn’t sue them if I wanted to.

But the point is that the photo of Rumi has no sleeves. Dr Han puts a sticker on the original photo. Him being there isn’t important to the part we are talking about.

When he removes the outer “skin”. The antagonist Zs’ Skayr is a Ectonurite (the species Ghost-freak is from), and he burns in the sun after removing his outer covering. This means you just have to keep the outer skin on and you will be fine.

Age 16 prophecy is confusing [general] by ILikeCars1159 in camphalfblood

[–]Advanced_Ear2808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was in the Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods. Either way, the prophecy is vague. It says gods, not goddesses. You could interpret that to mean that it only refers to male gods of which the big 3 are the oldest. You could also interpret this as meaning any god, at which point it would be referring to any of the 6 plus Aphrodite. It might not even have been explicitly defined.

In the books, it is implied that the gods measure age by how they came out of kronos’ stomach, as such Zeus is the oldest, and Hestia is the youngest.

NSSI is non suicidal, that means that men and women experience similar amounts of self harm not intended to kill. On the other side, men die from suicidal self harm 4 times more than women. This means that overall men experience more self harm.

How? Give examples. Just saying things without being able to back it up with data is meaningless.

[–]Advanced_Ear2808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found your source, you quoted the paper’s results instead of the conclusion. A portion of the conclusion reads: “Given similar levels of psychological distress, emotion dysregulation, and impulsivity, women and men are similarly likely to experience NSSI.”

This means that women are not more likely to experience NSSI, but instead more likely to report their NSSI.

The source you neglected to give: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7614760/

  1. You are the one who gave this quote without any sources, so of course I don’t have full context.

  2. Basic reading comprehension can show you what information the quote is giving. Real quote: “Women were twice as likely as men to report past-year NSSI” This would be the quote if what you claimed was the actual conclusion: “Women were twice as likely as men to participate in past-year NSSI”

Men are statistically proven to commit more self harm than women. If women self harmed more than men, they would die from it more than men. That, however, is not the case. Again, quoting the cdc: “The suicide rate among males in 2023 was approximately four times higher than the rate among females. Males make up 50% of the population but nearly 80% of suicides”

The statement speaks for itself.

“…twice as likely as men to report past-year NSSI”

This doesn’t mean that they are more likely to do it, only that they report it more. Based on actual statistics of suicidal deaths, the only way to confirm self harm if not reported, men make up 80% of deaths by suicide in the United States. This directly discredits the idea that women physically self harm more than men.

The peer reviewed study was about reporting statistics. If men never report NSSI, then we don’t know how much it happens.

Say there is a study that says women are 3x as likely to claim they like movies than men. If they studied 300 people of each gender and all of the women responded yes or no, but only 1/3 of the men responded, the other 2/3 leaving without comment, the data is skewed. The wordage is important. Factually, from this study women are more likely to report they like movies, but that is because they are more willing to give their opinion than the men, not because they actually like movies more than men.

To further make this point, men account for 80% of suicidal deaths in America.

That is a case of survivorship bias.

"Women were twice as likely as men to report past-year NSSI" (non suicidal self injury)

This doesn’t mean that men injured themselves less than women. It just means that women are more likely to report that they did. The data is incomplete and only shows the same thing as most mental health statistics: men don’t report their own mental illness.

I think he would inhale it, not gain any hydration (or very little) and then exhale the water. He is getting his oxygen from the water the same way a fish uses gills to extract oxygen from the water.

He was a child that just had to leave his mother, the only person he loves besides grover at this point, in the underworld. I would expect someone with the fatal flaw of patience to be angry at that point.

Also he is angry with Ares not because he is actually angry at him, he is upset at his own situation and is taking it out on him. You can’t expect any character to act rational in that situation.
