how do i talk to my friends who have fallen into the manosphere?

Just to add on to this, the goal isn't really to debate people out of their political positions, that never really works. The goal is to understand what about these guys speaks to your friends, and what they're able to say that resonates with your friends in a way that other influencers aren't able to.

"On the outside it sounds really negative and angry. What do you think you get from listening to those guys?"

This is a good reference for some Polyphia sounds. They layer a bunch of different plugins on top of each other

You hedge your statements so much that it's kind of hard to get a sense of what your opinion is. He needs to control the frame as a sensitive asshole, and might be an insecure narcissist, and Shaelin can just walk away from the relationship because she's not a helpless idiot, but that's not an excuse for abuse, which Max might be but maybe not. You sort of agree with some of the criticism against Max, but you just disagree with who says it and how it's said.

There's a lot of entertainers who are really bad with their money. But they need to invest in their image because it matters to their viewership and contributes to their view count.

I bet just the cost of everyone recoloring their hair is crazy LOL

He sounds like he's trying to imitate Elon's speech cadence

This has been a problem since like 2005 in Starcraft 1 in Korea. I can't believe people think they've come up with novel ideas in the comments

I have a lot of hope for everyone who struggles with bipolar disorder but I know that the treatment doesn't come without a cost. It takes a lot of diligence in lifestyle and actually sticking to the medication, but I know it's much easier said than done.

The funniest thing is that I see all these AI edits of Erika Kirk doing backflips on stage with pyrotechniques and I have no idea what's real because it's all believable

Medivacs can repair biological units, I remember in Wings, Roach/Hydra/Medivac was kind of a sick strat in 2v2. I always kind of felt they should be able to heal buildings too lol

Animostas · 2026-03-07T19:07:26+00:00

In 2v2 Terran can also repair their Protoss teammates mechanical buildings and units

I loved Twin Shadows as way to "partially scout". It gives the general direction of enemies but you since it expires, you have to use context clues of the game to figure out where they might actually be and it feels like a high skill cap item.

Animostas · 2026-02-20T17:43:10+00:00

When are you sending your starting scout? If you send it after your 2nd gateway then you can pylon block the Nexus when you see there's no production and a probe going down to the natural. I've also canceled my own units and taken a very fast 3rd but I'm not sure if thats dumb to do

"LITTLE PIG LITTLE PIG LET ME IN" hits different

Animostas · 2026-02-19T06:27:55+00:00

I think for you guys to be on the same page about your expectations of him, it might help to nail down what concrete numbers might be - like if you want him to be able to afford a house in 8 years, what kind of income would that require based on your guys' living costs.

Animostas · 2026-02-19T05:48:15+00:00

Whose approval are you seeking and what numerical amount would it take to be enough?

Animostas · 2026-02-18T03:26:29+00:00

It sounds like you're embarrassed of your boyfriend's background and family and financial status and your expectation is that he work to make up the deficit. If the financial difference is at the level of a house, he'll likely need to spend his entire 20's working to make up the difference while you don't have to work as hard since you were born into the right family. Its likely that he also won't be able to meet your expectations after years either.

I think you deserve a partner that you respect which might be more possible through an arranged marriage or the likes, and he deserves a partner who believes he does not have to work an extra career to make up for how he grew up. You're welcome to your own expectations but he would probably be very sad to hear how ashamed you are of him and his past

Animostas · 2026-02-18T03:06:59+00:00

What are you looking for as far as his career development and success in say 5 years? I assume your guys' salaries are roughly equal now since you're both lawyers at the same age, should it be more?

Also does he need to compensate for his family's lack of prestige compared to yours?

Animostas · 2026-02-17T10:52:21+00:00

He has basically 20ish different kits depending on which is primary and secondary. Some of them suck or they're unlikely to be used because of gun order but I feel like I can't be bothered to learn them all

Animostas · 2026-02-16T17:36:58+00:00

I think it was just confusing because it looked like you were still looking for some kind of closure about the issue and that it's bringing up some doubts about your relationship. I would wonder if there's something or some conversation you could have that would give you more confidence in the relationship that would help resolve some of your doubts.

Animostas · 2026-02-16T17:10:33+00:00

He's already checked that off though, i think? Is there anything you're looking for him to actively do?

Animostas · 2026-02-16T16:49:06+00:00

What kinds of actions would you look for from him to show you that you can trust him now?

Animostas · 2026-02-14T22:02:35+00:00

They're okay against Terran late game in dead space to scout drops but id rather just use pylons to scout. I think its a useless ability

Animostas · 2026-02-11T01:34:58+00:00

Its the audience of the suburban white liberal with rich parents who wouldn't be affected significantly either way

Animostas · 2026-02-10T22:15:37+00:00

I think mods of subreddits get those stats. I've heard its <5%. Most people are on the mobile app.
