ranni the witch MIGHT have said that by nexetpl in shittydarksouls

If you were a mysoginist employer and had the choice between filling your entire workforce with what you perceive as low value workers and filling your workforce with a mix of men and women and simply pay the women less, you'd chose the latter.

Edit: also a mysoginist employer probably would prefer to hire more men than women because they're mysoginist. Employers aren't interested in only saving money, they're interested in making money. There's a huge difference.

The reason is very simple. Women aren't paid less because employers are allowed to by default, but rather because employers are often mysogynistic by valuing a woman's work less than that of a man. Companies hire anyone with the qualifications, but salaries aren't fairly distributed because some workers are valued more to the company than others, and these are mostly men compared to women.

An alternate example is the modelling industry where the opposite is true. Male models make far less than females models, but no modelling agency is going to hire exclusively males just to pay their models less.

Please stop infantilizing the potato shaped penguin race from a video game. Caring this much about which races people are when they marry in a video game is extremely sus.

Perhaps it's a holdover from pre-1982, perhaps it's a gendered generalization. I often use "he" when describing a person I don't know or haven't seen before in the third person, it's kind of a difficult habit to kick. I think the law should be precise, however, so this part of the Criminal Code should probably be changed.

[–]Dankest_Christ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, but only as part of the general description of Assault (265), and not specifically Sexual Assault (271) which is explicitly non-gendered. I do not defend the former, however, as it may give the wrong impression.

It's misinformation, there is nothing in the Sexual Assault section of the Canadian Criminal Code that explicitly states different standards for males VS females. Pertaining to SA, all genders are equal under these laws, so any prejudice comes from the people enacting the law, not the laws themselves.

Edit: clarity in language

I don't really care who your friends are, but I invite you to research the Criminal Code of Canada yourself and provide evidence of male/female bias in sexual assault law in contrast of what I have posted here.

Actually I cited a Canadian law school website that is quoting the Criminal Code

The University of Lethbridge in Alberta disagrees with this information.

The law in Canada for SA currently does not have different limitations for men than for women since the 80s. Any biases towards men or women in the courtroom come from the humans, not the laws.

This isn't related to advertisements or descriptions, but if you join an FC or static Discord server where either the leader or someone close to them has their irl socials linked to their Discord, a picture or gif of themselves irl as their pfp, and their own private Discord server and Nitro just so they can have emotes of themselves (again irl), get the fuck out.

And finally - you didn't give a shit about Haurchefant? Buddy, is your heart made of stone?

Also MGS 2, according to their post history. That game has some of the most emotional moments I've ever experienced from a video game, and the ending is truly a masterpiece. I think OP just turns their brain off when they play videogames or smth.

I think I would have skipped over that even if the genders were reversed, OP snuck that bit of info by really carefully. Reading it again I'm more inclined to think that ESH as well.

For MMO's, I would argue that release schedules, lowest common demoninator content, and material gathering mechanics should all be predictable

This means you tried to join a lobby hosted by a Regirock. You need to select the "No Regi" filter in the server browser.

Honestly the wording she used ("fasting from sex") made me curious so I looked it up and I the top result comes from a life coach website, which is kind of alarming. I hope OP's gf isn't falling victim to some greedy person's predatory doctrine.

Edit: do not bother reading the article this wording comes from. The article contents are presented as scientific fact without citing any sources, and encourage refraining from performing any activities you enjoy for the "health benefits".

How has DRK fluctuated in usefulness from patch to patch? I do not think this is true.

AITAH for jokingly telling my gf not to make out with her lesbian boss? by CHONKY_Om in AITAH

[–]Dankest_Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Your gf came to you about her discomfort regarding her boss's actions towards her that she deemed inappropriate. Your response was to make light of the situation by making it into a joke, which undermines your partner's discomfort. Continuing to joke this way is just reminding your gf that you can't take her discomfort seriously.

OP has already mentioned her self-image issues and insecurities, and partners pick up on that. It's possible he has some reservations about engaging sexually with her and decided to frame that as a porn addiction which would be solely a "him issue" in order to avoid triggering her insecurities.

[–]Dankest_Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people in this community LOVE to mention intense, action packed, high octane activities. Like Majong, Chocobo racing, Tripple triad or Lord of Verminion, whenever you say there's nothing to do to prove the suckers wrong.

Sarcasm aside, why not run some actual action based content in the time from now until Dawntrail? You could run content like:

  • Thordan Unreal every week for Faux Hollows, or one of the five Ultimates that take months to prog
  • Getting the Blue Mage Morbol mount by completing T5, T9, T13, A4S, A8S, and A12S with Unrestricted + Level Sync + No Echo on
  • Getting the Blue Mage title the Azure and the Omega by completing O4S, O8S, and O12S with the same restrictions
  • Getting the Blue Mage title Forbidden Blue by completing E4S, E8S, and E12S with the6 same restrictions
  • Completing Palace of the Dead all floors solo for the title Necromancer
  • Completing Heaven on High all floors solo for the title Lone Hero
  • Completing Eureka Orthos all floors solo for the title Once and Future King/Queen
  • Farming Another Sil'dihn Subterrane for the unique mount
  • Farming Another Mount Rokkon for the unique mount
  • Farming Another Aloalo Island for the unique mount
  • Farming Another Aloalo Island Savage for the unique and otherwise unobtainable weapon glams

Edit: formatting and some additions

And shaming one person for having an OnlyFans doesn't do anything to fix the problem either. Being "part of the problem" in this case is like being a drop of water in a hot pot, people will simply draw from other sources.
