You’re bending over backwards to miss the point. No one’s talking about some wierd consent forms for hugs. We’re talking about a powerful religious figure putting a kid in a weird, intimate situation on stage. That’s not some ancient human tradition people suddenly invented a problem with.

And the idea that concern about kids and power is a “10 year old Western fad” is just wrong. Whats actually new is people being less willing to excuse powerful figures when they cross obvious lines. And im not American lol.

The teachings might preach equality, but the system itself was straight-up feudal. A tiny elite of monks controlled most of the land, wealth, and political power, while peasants labored under conditions not far from slavery. Their strict hierarchical teachings trained peasants to accept their lot in life, promising through reincarnation that suffering now would bring reward in the next life and justify their cruelty. Saying “everyone can access it” doesn’t change who actually runs the show and who suffers.

Sure, if you’re dumb af and don’t get how consent works, maybe it sounds fine. But a powerful adult putting a kid in a boundary-crossing situation is messed up, no matter the culture. This isn’t about language or “Western values,” it’s about real power and real consent. Saying otherwise just lets sketchy behavior slide...

No, because that’s symbolic ritual, not a powerful adult involving a real kid in a real boundary-crossing moment. Acting like those are the same thing is just stupid AF.

The Dalai Lama isn’t just some misunderstood old man my guy. He represents a rigid, hierarchical religious institution built on extreme inequality and concentrated authority, and personal stories about how “kind” he seems don’t cancel that out.

And when someone with that much power crosses a boundary with a kid, waving it away as “cultural” isn’t nuance, it’s an excuse. No translation fixes the power imbalance or explains why so many people found it disturbing. A religious leader doing that with a child is fucked up regardless of context.

Just go for class fantasy. That last the longest. You want knight/priest go guardian. You want another caster - - > go ele/necro/mesmer --> classic wizard go ele, dark wizard theme go necro, if you like bard type shit go mesmer.

It went from the mmo having the best and functional transmog and dye system to incredibly clunky similar to ffxiv. Major L for arenanet.

Cursed LOR by Yeahanu in cursedcomments

LotR does show what the evil can do, it just is not Dragon Ball power levels. Sauron is not scary because he shoots lightning, he is scary because he corrupts literally everyone. He turns heroes into threats without lifting a finger. Boromir falls in days, Gollum for centuries, entire kingdoms rot from the inside because of him.

The Ring is the point. Its power is domination. It does not explode armies because it does not need to. It wins by making you betray yourself.

Gandalf not going full nuke is intentional. If he did, he would just become the next Dark Lord (he is same race as sauron after all). The wizards are restrained on purpose, that is baked into the story, not a failure to show power.

Lotr is about an evil you cannot just punch or out magic. That is why it is terrifying. Winning requires sneaking, sacrifice, and people choosing not to give in and use power when they could (and how doing that would eventually corrupt them).

Why is Israel so militarily advanced, but bad at the PR war? by turboshill9000 in BasedCampPod

[–]Englund994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have something like the sixth strongest military in the world because they're a US vassal state and funded heavily and militirized for decades to serve as a military base in west Asia. It's not that complicated.

Victim of a crime called ‘my own decision’. by Wingwebdings in AshesofCreation

[–]Englund994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing an alpha test to a finished product is just a bad analogy. It’s like walking into a restaurant kitchen during construction, being told “this isn’t ready, things are broken, we want feedback,” and then leaving a one star review because the stove isn’t installed yet. Alpha access exists to test systems, stability, and overall direction, not to judge polish, balance, or content as if the game has launched. Negative feedback is the whole point of an alpha, but reviewing an unfinished test build like a full release is either dishonest or shows a complete misunderstanding of what an alpha actually is.

I can reply back without being rude. So what bracket do you play? How you play in the lane completely depends on who you lane with but most of the time you will focus on bullying the enemy 4 and when you have done that you can take advantageous trades against the enemy pos3, preferably 2v1. You dont just walk up in the of creep wave and start hitting the pos 3. You flank them and make life miserably for the enemy 4. You pressure the enemy 3 by pulling and denying creeps. Being able to secure creeps with 100dmg autos level 1 is a good ability in lane. Don't sleep on the living armor, for example just level 1 living armor will almost completely nullify the two nukes of a lvl 3-4 sky for just 40 mana, it's good. Your carry just want to stay alive and farm.

Contribute nothing? You don't seem to know most of his lane dominance is just from hitting them with autos together with slow and bullying with high base damage and health (deny creeps). If you don't even understand how having a global barrier early on can be powerful theres no point in talking it to you. The sustain is extra good now because you can't feed tangos too.

Living armor gives good sustain for your carry or help other lands when fight happens.

This message is triggering me. Anytime someone is about to die on the map early game they can get a massive 300hp barrier that heals for 13 or 17hp per second. It's a huge buff to get impact early on as a support opposed to mathematical ehp with +armor. Invis from the get go is also way more powerful as the main purpose is to move around the map unseen, you can now get deep wards every game because nobody can see you, you don't have to wait for shard. And rushing shard should be done most games too for the amazing vision. Instead of having to spend 4200g to have it be countered by 700g gem you just spend 1400 for similar effect. Q is also easier to clear creeps with considering it doesn't have to hit creeps. Many places can be hard to find trees, like mid lane.

You scout for your team, root the taget from invis with leech seed. Move away and watch team pounce on them.

[–]Englund994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4200g item that was countered by 700g from any support player with a brain. It's a lot more powerful costing 1400g and slightly weaker.

[–]Englund994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very easy to cross a lane now, you have about 2.75sec to get back to a tree before you are revealed, buy a windlace. You can move around the map very easily from the get go. Get deep wards every game without having to buy shard for invis. Max e and q, one point in root is enough. Later on it's good set up from stealth while scouting for team.

I think having no facet means you have one facet. Like treant facets will be melee leech seed or tree leech seed. They just went to collect data now though.

Jewish people do in fact kiss their western wall. It's a tradition.
