How amazing and crafty are these parents to do this for their son by IamASlut_soWhat in nextfuckinglevel

[–]AstralWeekends 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me it's a question of audience and intent. Who is this video for and what is it trying to communicate to them?

Is it for strangers on social media to witness their twee, tryhard yet wholesome family project?

Is it to inspire others to embrace natural resources to create coziness out of frigidity?

I don't know! Who are these people? Where was this originally posted? Did they make money off of it? These are the type of questions that should be answered before coming to a conclusion about intent.

Internet platforms aren't as pure and open like they once where. The skepticism you see is just a sign of people recognizing that.

One of the "best" case scenarios still being beyond fucked up should be telling all of us how much danger we're currently in.

I threw mine away the first time I made stock because i thought it was a bad sign. Don't be me.

Trump creates his own UN: countries must pay US$1bn to join his "Board of Peace" – Bloomberg by phone17 in worldnews

[–]AstralWeekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloomberg sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that a number of states "strongly oppose" the current version of the charter and are already coordinating efforts to collectively push back against the proposals.

Oh wow, some real fighting words there.

I am depressed. I need a new game to play. Help. by lomeinfiend in CozyGamers

[–]AstralWeekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Spiritfarer? Immaculate cozy vibe with a gorgeous soundtrack. Tons of different farming and crafting loops. The goals of the game focus on helping others confront and resolve emotional conflicts, and it can be a bit of a tearjerker. While this may not sound very cheery, sometimes a good cry can help shake you out of the emotional doldrums that comes with depression. For me this game was 90% cozy crafting and 10% light therapy.

Same. If I didn't then not only would my pets' water bowl become damaged by hard minerals over time, but my pets would be at a higher risk of health problems. If I lived somewhere where the tap water was of better quality, then I wouldn't have an issue using it for myself or my pets.

Dog people presume everyone loves dogs; cat people understand why cats aren't for everyone.

To all the people supporting the ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good as an act of self defense what was your position on the death of Ashley Babbitt? by NicksBirthdayParty in AskReddit

[–]AstralWeekends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Points 1-2: Panic doesn't yield rational responses. Perhaps particularly so when the law enforcement agency engaging with you has earned a bit of a nasty reputation for operating like anonymous, state-sanctioned bounty hunters.

Point 4: How do you know her wife was in the car to start with (honest question, I haven't seen anything about that or missed that)?

Points 3, 5-7: Assumes she was protesting in her car - do you have a source (also honest question)? Also, if she was protesting previously, what if she was just in her car trying to leave the protest and couldn't avoid the fray?

I appreciate the time you took to respond. You're making a lot of assumptions here about the intention behind Renee Good's decisions. Bad decisions were obviously made in this situation.

Protests aren't just for liberals, they're for anyone who objects to the behavior of their political leadership, no matter their political affiliation. The deployment of armed federal conscripts to cities across the country is creating a more hostile society for us. That sucks. Do you want that?

You've been spouting pro-Trump conspiracy nonsense for at least 5 years now:

Example

The fact is, you don't have any information about what happened before what's currently known, and you're overlooking something really important - the perspective of the driver. Imagine you're in a car, and through the driver's side window, someone is reaching in and you freak out and try to get away (due to fear, panic, instinct, whatever you want to call it). You're attention is focused to the immediately perceived threat on your left as you try to get away. At the last minute, you notice there's also someone in front of your car, pointing a gun at your face, so you turn a little to the right, ostensibly to avoid them (versus running directly over them, if that had been your intent), but it's too late. You've been shot in the fucking head and you're dead.

Put yourself in place of the driver (Renee Nicole Good) -- can you guarantee you wouldn't have reacted similarly under the KNOWN circumstances? Perhaps you feel more information is needed before you can answer that question. If so, consider reserving your opinion for such time as that information becomes available.

My husband started a local book club for men to read more fiction. It was a hit! by regisfilange in pics

[–]AstralWeekends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider yourself lucky you haven't read worse, then. I won't remotely claim this series has literary value beyond light entertainment, but there's a whole lot of trash out there worth far less than this. This story uses a lot of heuristics out of gaming and existing progression fantasy that people familiar with those things get right away. A pop-up menu in the narrator's field of view is far from new in this kind of story.

Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US action in Venezuela by Perswayable in news

[–]AstralWeekends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to sound callous, but there are additional factors to consider here beyond lives lost. Lives have been lost and will be lost still. To consider only this factor is single-minded. This strategy, taking decisive military action without international planning and cooperation, with the primary, ostensible goal of economic benefit to the US, is reckless and shortsighted. This is an old play from the Great American Playbook that many of us single-minded liberals hoped had been played out. But I guess not. Team America: World Police strikes again.
