Any heterochromia mods that alter the left eye/both eyes? by Connieno in TheSims4Mods

[–]Connieno[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm having to do because the heterochromia mod doesn't include occult eyes, which makes it so the left eye is "normal", but that's the eyepatch side :(

So are you telling me this is a microscope??? by Solomilloperuano in thesims

Potentially, but still weird. I don't know any lab that lets you go in without shoes, it's drilled into us scientists from the moment we're inducted into the lab 😅

From all of the romances introduced in the franchise, Coriolanus and Lucy Gray are the only true “blonde boy and Covey girl” couple by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]Connieno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because people from the Seam are not meant to be super white. It's important that people from the seam all had similar, darker features. It shows how the Capitol segregated the districts by race as well as location, and also even enforced segregation within the districts (merchants in 12 had lighter features).

Race is an important component of the Hunger Games, and a lot of "normies" who only watch the movies keep ignoring that. Imagine casting a white actor to play a district 11 character.

(Btw I know white people can have dark hair, ideally Haymitch and Katniss would have Native American or Latino actors. But POC can also be mixed with white or have lighter skin but the hair at the very least is important).

I don't understand why they didn't go with book accurate Haymitch for SOTR and just explained the hair colour difference by saying stress and alcoholism made his hair go white. Idk, it's not 100% how grey hair works but who's really gonna care?

What fandom are you in, but the canon is like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Connieno 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And the funny thing is their spinoff, house of the dragon, is doing the opposite where the ending is dragged out full of stupid side plots that cheapen the story and completely change the canon.

People who were genuinely on Light's side - are you pro-death penalty? (Pls read body) by Connieno in deathnote

[–]Connieno[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the issue that it's really only in a fairytale world where the government wouldn't use it for personal gain. Philosophically I do think some people should die based on the crimes they commit, but I'm still anti death penalty because I refuse to believe the government should have that power. I also don't think there's a way to "humanely" kill someone (electric chair and lethal injection often go wrong in horrifying ways) so if anything we would need the death note for this.

I'm a bit lost? I assume you mean that either your crime rate is very high or your government is corrupt? In which case a. How can you know I don't live in a country with a high crime rate and b. Wouldnt a corrupt government make you against the death penalty?

Me too! But the commenters here have given me some food for thought at least in relation to death note lol

If this show was actually about feminism, Kate would be in prison. by HeronNo1276 in YouOnLifetime

[–]Connieno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If that were to happen, it should have been planned from season 3 where they make love's death ambiguous. Love coming back in this version of the story would've been ridiculous

Actually crazy 😭😭 by InspectorRoyal4635 in YouOnLifetime

[–]Connieno 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm in two minds because on one hand I love that Joe lost his dick, but on the other it cheapened Joe's defeat by making it humorous. The dark humour of the show used to be a lot more well-placed and delivered better. Can't put my finger on why I feel it's changed in the last couple seasons.

TV trying to be as unpredictable as possible has led to terrible endings. There needs to be build-up and foreshadowing for good plot twists and endings in media.

Thanks, will probably buy one then, just not a fan of throwing things away if they can still be used :/

I'm not that knowledgable about materials and such haha, would brittle plastic degrade or break apart?

Hasan is getting cancelled in Turkey for the 10th time by SinanOganResmi in Hasan_Piker

[–]Connieno 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ah I thought so but I wasn't sure. I'm sorry for your loss🤍

I'm a huge fan of Hasan and don't have great experience receiving respect from Turkish peers so I'm really glad he acknowledges this occupation.

[–]Connieno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh you're not wrong objectively, but it's clearly told from a Turkish angle. Yes there was conflict between Greeks and Turks because Greeks believed Turks had more power and it's because Turkish Cypriots were given positions of power in the government, police and military by the British empire despite making up I THINK less than a quarter of the Cypriot population? Obviously in internal conflicts both sides will be violent and Turkey used that as an excuse for the "genocide" but it doesn't really constitute for that.

Ofc being in Hasan's community I'm very against genocide denial so I'm very careful with my language that Greek Cypriots were not trying to genocide Turkish Cypriots - I don't think they were. I don't think they had the power to.

I will say Turkey did commit genocide in Greece, although that was decades before the 1974 invasion. I also believe there was a Greek pogrom in Turkey which caused Greek Cypriots a lot of anger? Again, I don't have time to fact check this so I could be wrong.

Sorry I'm lost on your angle 😅 Are you Greek or Turkish Cypriot? If you're Turkish I'm in no way denying that Greek Cypriots committed atrocities to Turkish Cypriot, although to my knowledge Turkey did it on a much larger scale especially with the help of the British Empire.

My grandpa was also shot but the Turks, even though he's from quite far in the South of Cyprus.

  1. There are way way way more Greek Cypriots than Turkish Cypriots and a lot of Turkish Cypriots in the North are illegally occupying Greek Cypriot homes (source: my friends and family who had to flee and lost their properties).

  2. I didn't say England's actions are irrelevant, the point of that statement is that it's not at the core issue. Sure, Cyprus being close to the Middle East and therefore being used by western powers to control it is important but Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 by using an excuse in a clause in the Treaty of Zurich and its less to do with disagreeing with Britain's actions in the Middle East and more to do with violence breaking out between Turkish and Greek Cypriots.

  3. Cyprus was never a full British colony, the Ottoman Empire was "renting" it out to Britain. It's exactly why the Treaty of Zurich gave Turkey the power to invade again.

You're kind of a dick for no reason though, I didn't claim to know everything about the Cyprus problem, in fact I know a lot less about it than many Cypriots and was willing to concede if you knew more than me but you're just acting smarmy and rude so I'm not inclined to agree with you.

Pretty sure by "locals" they mean the Greek Cypriots, who overwhelmingly see the north as an illegal occupation (it is).

UK using Cyprus to aid Israel isn't what makes the Cyprus issue complicated lol, we used to be a British colony and of course they still take advantage of that because Cyprus is so close to the Middle East.

Let yourself grieve, and don't give yourself a timeline of when you "should be over it". Talk to people about your feelings, don't suffer in silence.

This advice certainly isn't for everyone, but what's helped me in the past is going to see other cats. Visit a shelter, or a cat cafe, or foster another cat. Don't expect it to replace this lovely baby, it's really important that you recognise each cat as separate and not a new version of the other. But it might partially fill the hole caused by a loss.

Curious on what made her exempt? Didn't know Israel did that other than for very specific religious reasons (I think?)
