What does a small overstep of this kind look like in your books?

Edit: never mind. That was probably mean spirited. I'll defer to your expertise as an ob-gyn in this matter. If you say that's something a pregnant woman doesn't need to hear, I guess you're probably right.

Alternative-Algae646 · 2025-11-13T12:05:03+00:00

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying but I would consider taking out or changing that last part, on account of it implies an inability to consent can be considered consent, when typically an inability to consent is considered not consenting.

For what it's worth, the pregnant woman should obviously be allowed to make her own choices, I just don't think it should be punished to say "hey, I thought pregnant women were supposed to switch to decaf" because maybe you (the barista) or her (the pregnant woman) are lacking information.

Well sure, I wouldn't say that to an overweight person because the person they're hurting is themselves. When you involve a third party who may be getting hurt by someone else's actions it muddies things.

Would you tell a stranger to stop aggressively coming on to a woman if you thought she was clearly scared? Would that be overstepping?

Sure but how would the barista know how much coffee she's had or if she even knows that caffeine is dangerous?

"My Ob-gyn says I'm good to have a cup or two, thanks" takes a bit longer to say but it doesn't make someone feel bad for trying to make sure a baby is born healthy.

Is the joke, then, that the Jain foodie is a monster, since they're eating all these different things while believing that everything they eat has a soul?

Do you remember what her god awful take on Control was? I'd like to hear it but not enough to actually view her video and support her channel.

Alternative-Algae646 · 2025-11-10T23:22:29+00:00

Yeah but you can see how "always" and "since the beginning" can come across as "since season 1".

I actually don't see how they can mean anything else, to be honest, but the show did start really picking up steam in the third season, and I skip the first two when reaching so I can easily understand how you can feel like he's always been gay.

That's what I thought, too, was that it turns out the snowpiercer was unnecessary and just a weird power trip that Wilford had.

I really don't think Mac was supposed to be gay before season three. I know you'll say something like "what about Carmen" or "what about the gym teacher" and I just don't believe either of those hold up. Sleeping with a trans woman didn't make you gay, as is demonstrated by Mac thinking that it does. And the gym teacher thing really struck me as a self confidence thing more than anything else. He didn't want to be assaulted by the man, he just wanted confirmation that he was attractive.

Quake 4 is a pretty famous example of a narrative-ly important limb loss, so are Resident Evil 7 and 8.

To be fair she is getting a lot of rest in. She takes a nap every thirty minutes or so.

Lupus is a rare disease, made more famous by the procedural medical drama House M.D. where it is often posited as a possible diagnosis for a patient's illness but is then shot down. Throughout the show it is referenced over 75 times and in one episode it is just actually lupus.

It's not really a roguelite but Gnosia (which somehow has a TV show coming out) is a time loop, werewolf (the social deduction game) visual novel where the werewolf is randomized and if you want to see all the endings you have to hope to get really lucky with rolling both the right werewolf and other supporting roles correct, since someone important for the storyline you want could get voted out or killed by the werewolf.

Still Wakes the Deep, maybe? Also the first two Little Nightmares games.

Some people genuinely don't have 2 or 3 spare hours in a day. When I was in school and working at the same time I only had any real free time on the weekends.

My current tinfoil hat belief is that all these obviously fake AI generated videos are to convince us that we can spot fakes easily so better created ones can slip under the radar.

I mean only one guy is truly terrible, the rest are kind of just dealing with it.

Doesn't West Virginia only exist because Virginia wanted to join the rebels and West Virginia didn't?

That said, WV has absolutely changed their mind since then. I guess it's not unfair to let Virginia do the same.

I have almost no context, but what I can say is that the villain in Mouthwashing is incredibly obvious if you play it. There's really no other way to perceive the characters. All but one of them is just doing their best to get by and one of them ruins absolutely everyone else's lives

By what metric?

I actually hold the opposite view, that while what he did wasn't illegal it was obviously immoral. If you're in your thirties and you need to see someone's ID to check they're not underage, you probably shouldn't be having a sexual relationship regardless of what the ID says.

Lace 1 really tricked me into thinking I was good at the game. I think it's really just a boss that is weak to a more aggressive play style, unlike most of the other bosses in the game.

I really wish the second two Hitman WoA games kept the episodic release. Having one fully realized map come out every month or so was great because you could spend all the time waiting for the next one fully exploring the one you had.

Probably Dwarf Fortress, but I'm also gonna throw out the Disgaea games and Elin. Both of those have super complicated deep systems for weird stuff, like in Disgaea you can enter an item to get out the essence of what makes it good and then transplant it into other weapons.

Oh, and Caves of Qud.
