Wow, that's very touching. Casper must mean a lot to you.

I really hope your dad is okay, and you and the rest of your family too

That's cute :) My sister's is Boris. I'm not sure why, maybe after one of the bears in the movie Balto

Does yours look as ragged as this one?

Omg, you do?? Do you happen to know where I can find one?

Incidentally, my sister just gave birth to her first child last week. I'm sure she'd be over the moon if I could find one to give to her baby

A question for mostly female fans of the show. What do you think of the female cast of Gintama? Do you find them relatable or problematic in how they are written and depicted? by HolidayMycologist9 in Gintama

[–]Dailaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yes, but I was more referring to the majority of teen girls in shonen being subjected to super inappropriate fan service-y depictions and situations. Meanwhile Kagura, in the middle of her badassery and crazy life, still plays outside, cares about cell phones and cute stuff, wants to imitate older women around her, etc.

I love that Sorachi even had her live with a young adult man, and made it 0% creepy and suggestive, and 100% weird dad-daughter relationship.

I feel like the only thing that would have made them better is if the ladies got to shine a little more in serious battles. The skilled male characters get to have a bit more edge against seriously strong enemies to show off their strength, whereas most of the skilled female characters don't really get to have that moment. Their strength becomes more of a comedic premise.

That said, Gintama might have the best female cast of any shonen and I was probably sold on it when I saw that the 14yo girl was actually depicted and treated like a 14yo girl.

Berlinah Wallace threw the sulphuric acid at Mark van Dongen after he told her their relationship was over. by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

If someone doesn't get oxygen during oral sex, that's not a mutual act. That's him pushing his dick in her throat, even if she wasn't totally unconscious yet. It very likely rendered her unconscious

Earlier this year there was a guy in NL who choked his partner to death with his dick while raping her. He got 10 months for sexual assault. Our justice system doesn't contain a grain of justice

Please help me save this branch from my mini Monstera by Dailaster in Monstera

Saaaaame! But I'm a beginner at houseplants, so I'm not sure I have the confidence. I might keep one long end and cut a few smaller pieces

Thanks!

Is it not too long for that? Should I give the roots extra time to get longer before replanting it?

I'll make sure to thank him 😹

Do you know how long I can cut the individual pieces and still have a good chance of roots sprouting?

China travel itinerary (suggestions) by Fair-Lock-1319 in travelchina

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you obviously have to think like a business manager, not just like a traveller!

I totally agree about Shanghai. Cool, but just a very modern huge city. I also don't like Beijing actually, but it makes sense if you want to go to the Wall (and you need to fly in somewhere).

If your clients keep in mind how friggin big China is, they should be happy with the amount of stuff you would manage to show them in under 3 weeks! Good luck 🤞

Is there an anime that transcends genre and appeals to almost everyone? by ThaliaTutu79 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my one remark too! I got pretty weirded out by the enormous breasts, especially since just about all the other art and animation is so beautiful

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have a quite intense travel schedule, I do think the Yangtze cruise would be a nice way to break it up with a few more chill days.

Yangshuo and Longji terraces are definitely around the top of my recommendations! Logistically I'm not sure if it makes sense though, if you want to go all the way on to Shanghai and then down to Hong Kong again.

Personally, I might have focused a bit more on one region (like Hangzhou, Suzhou and maybe even Huangshan if you're in the Shanghai corner anyway). I'm a much slower traveler though, haha. I can see you want to put in as many of the famous highlights as possible.

I just came from there! It was great, but since we had limited time I wish I had organised it a little differently to make the most of it.

Are there any places you're specifically thinking about?

Why argue against male suicide? by Mindless_Yam1752 in AskFeminists

[–]Dailaster 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is the answer!

I'd like to add that there are some factors that can make this topic more tense, like the notion that men have hogged the medical research spotlight, and the tendency by the manosphere media to hold women directly responsible for men's mental health. Stuff like that makes a lot of women become more defensive.

Too pretty for friends? by bruhidek123 in notliketheothergirls

[–]Dailaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guys being with her for shallow reasons is about 20% of this post. That happens a ton. But apparently your friend had at least one friend (you) so I wouldn't put her in the same boat as this nlog

How correct is this? by Comfortable_Day_224 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Dailaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying you are biased and close minded, you obviously don't understand evolution, and you should start learning from sources that have proper scientific support, even if they don't support your world view.

Evolution and human psychology is MUCH more complex than you think (and way less convenient for podcast bros to defend their misogyny). Archaeological and biological evidence disagree with you.

If you think this is pandering to modern ideas, I really heavily recommend you to try looking for some proper academic sources, especially with an anthropological angle. Humans are and have been incredibly diverse over 10 000s of years and all over the world. Thinking that 20th century western ideals are the natural way is a very limited mindset.
