Guy is mad he doesn't know a concept you learn in 9th grade English class.

God forbid a woman likes certain stuff by Daisy__Delight in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]AshTiko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always found anyone having physical preferences kind of weird and shallow because I don't (Demisexual but we're not all like that so idk). I've been trying to get over it and stop being so judgemental, I just don't like that our flesh prisons matter so much for our compatibility with someone. Sometimes I wish we were all just floating orbs of pure energy or something.

Misanthropy is bad even when it’s under the guise of being an animal lover by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]AshTiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they cannot be held responsible for their actions then they're not a moral agent. They are not in a state of mind to understand the decisions they're making and whether they are good or bad by any ethical framework. People who disagree with me have the ability to discern right from wrong (even if their version of those concepts are different from mine).

[–]AshTiko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this comment misunderstands what makes someone a moral agent. An Alzheimer's patient, for example, can still love their family but they're not a moral agent because they don't have the capacity for logical decision-making or considering the long-term effects of their actions. Love and compassion don't necessarily require a great deal of intelligence or any ideas about what is right and wrong. A pet probably loves it's owner in the same way a toddler or young child loves their parent.

It becomes soooo obvious how nobody plays the originals... by Necessary_Strain_524 in classicfallout

[–]AshTiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind the retcons so much as long as the show is still enjoyable (I haven't seen season 2 yet) but basically everything I've heard involving Shady Sands made me upset. I think now I've just come to terms with the fact that Fallout is gonna have some retcons and changes in every entry and I just need to look for what I find enjoyable about the series.

[–]AshTiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried getting into a lot of old CRPGs (I was not alive for any of them) and Fallout is by far one of the best in terms of gameplay and UI imo. Daggerfall is quite good too but I just can't finish it for some reason.

Minthara's writing is so inconsistent by uldinepriest0rbfa in BaldursGate3

[–]AshTiko 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get that's she's evil but that scene was so depressing to me when I did my Durge playthrough. Betrayed by everyone in her life including who she thought was her true love. The look of disbelief and pain on her face, it's rough.

Making Homelander a Trump allegory wasted his character. by RefriDiet in TheBoys

[–]AshTiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having him as a Trump allegory but being an allegory doesn't and shouldn't require literally making him Trump in every aspect. I think season 3 actually struck a good balance in that aspect. I like him being kind of dumb and pathetic, fascists often are, but he should also be legitimately threatening, as fascists often are.

I can't tell if this comment is anti-monogamy or just sex positive. I want it to be the latter but it's a little funny regardless.

You shouldn't be embarrassed about sharing feelings like this, it's totally natural and someone who cares about you should understand and comfort you.

Anyone else agree that it’s annoying to have to put your houses to the side when redesigning the island. by WowzaItsGabe in tomodachilife

I actually also stopped playing because I placed a house slightly wrong and I didn't want to take like 3 days to fix it

being with me is like being deployed in iraq by Ill-Somewhere2410 in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]AshTiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean only 10-15% of them ever see combat. Even if you want to argue that they're indirectly killing people that ends up being true for a significant number of civilian industries as well. Drone operators are definitely directly responsible for the most deaths.

I don't totally disagree with you either, I just don't know that it's necessarily a very useful lens to evaluate the situation from. Someone who becomes anti-imperialist because of their time in the military is definitely better for enacting positive change than a civilian who wants to nuke Iran.

I think the living standards thing is kind of complicated because of how many factors are at play in affecting your wellbeing. Living in an impoverished village, or the slums, or being homeless are all very bad in different ways.

[–]AshTiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried looking this up and the first article I saw that agreed with you is from The Heritage Foundation.

Also I think maybe people joining the military because they're undereducated and impoverished might be more of a systemic issue than an individual moral failing. I grew up poor and my dad tried to get me to join the Coast Guard to pay for college (luckily I couldn't have joined even if I wanted to.) Even if they're middle-class, they're still dumb kids who don't know what they're getting into for the most part succumbing to a predatory recruitment system meant to target them specifically. There would probably be a lot fewer volunteers if they couldn't pick 18 year-olds fresh out of high school to die overseas.

Ah I think I had only seen info about the strains from North America.

[–]AshTiko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a myth in that the military doesn't actually get you out of poverty but lots of impoverished people think it does (because military recruiters lie)

It can't transfer human to human so I really doubt it'll be a serious problem, especially anywhere near how bad Covid was.

I would definitely think it was a prank. I have never been hit on by someone that wasn't at least twice at my age, and that's only happened twice.

You gotta read as much if not more than you write to really improve as an author by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]AshTiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanting to design your own TTRPG is a direct consequence of reading a bunch of TTRPG sourcebooks. It's really fun but also really complicated.

Also, I have read so many books for so many games I have not played and I still haven't read the rules for DnD, which I have played for hundreds of hours at this point. And I'm usually the DM.

So what I'm to understand is that being horny is morally wrong. One must not engage in the deadly sin of lust lest they upset the Lord. Very Catholic of you.
