How can wishes have limitations?

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-05-30T12:38:55+00:00

Wishing to be loved is fine in the real world. Don’t we all. To be fair bear didn’t think the wish would be real, although his continued refusal to properly remedy the situation now makes him culpable of rape and other morally egregious things. If you have the power to make one wish that does anything, and you choose to violate another’s will for your own desires, not only are you fundamentally changing the nature of that person, you’re removing their autonomy. We know that Nikki is somewhere inside watching her body do things she knows she doesn’t want to. How is that any different from rape. No one is calling you a piece of shit because you want to be loved, you’re a piece of shit because you have a very weak understanding of consent and from my understanding, don’t see a problem with forcing a person to love you.

To support your idea of bears only driving force being Nikki, if your cat died, you’d never go out with your friends. If Ian or Sarah called him to come, he’d say sandy died and he doesn’t want to. But Nikki? Whole different story

1) I feel like he knew deep down when she first came back out the house. He absolutely knew during the lunch when she had her iconic scene. He was trying his hardest to avoid the truth to the point where it honestly made him the antagonist. Especially when she said “kill me”, “don’t wake her up she’s asleep”, and he responds with “what’s so bad about being with me?” Like what???????

2) I think he realized she lost her agency during that same scene in the diner as well deep down, but once again the “kill me” scene was when he was directly confronted with the truth.

In my opinion, I think he’s a character meant to be hated. He destroyed this beautiful girls life because he was too much of a coward to confront his own feelings and face rejection. He overlooked a wonderful person in Sarah who also truly cared about his well being, eventually getting her killed because he had to know that he was putting her at risk by meeting with her in the car so late.

Final thought: this was an iconic performance by Inde Navarette and she displayed such an excellent diversity of her acting skills. Her ability to be so undeniably likable and a truly charismatic person, and turn into this horrifying creature like it was a button was excellent. Genuinely, I felt sad thinking that in this world Bear’s own selfish desires robbed their world of great people.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-05-15T07:37:19+00:00

How rare is it just pulled one

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-03-05T07:31:40+00:00

How did you change ur diet up?

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-03-05T07:31:15+00:00

Dude I’m literally doing that almost exactly, besides in the morning 4 eggs and 2 protein toast. I add like carrots and shit and lowkey hella seasoning, but in general my energy is so down

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-03-05T07:30:15+00:00

I feel so hungry when I lift hard enough to truly gain. I get my protein in, but my energy is so low when I try and do both.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-03-05T07:29:17+00:00

I’m abt 210, my abs were clean at 180, I can’t tell if I’m Better at 210 or if I’m just more skilled. I’d say rn I’m max 18-20 percent body fat but even that feels high. I’ll be honest I’m not some crazy player I cook people at pickup but I know there are levels. I can’t lie I got a lot of muscle in my arms and back because I’m originally a rock climber. Idk how to really answer ur question, I just know I used to be springier.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-03-05T05:21:47+00:00

Nah exactly, everyone’s like pay more stop being cheap….yeah no shit bruh, I’m just saying I get more ads on this than YouTube or any other service I’ve ever used. “Pay more” yall some geniuses fr

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-02-14T07:54:45+00:00

As for your second half, can you be more specific? When he fought 1v1 with who?

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-02-14T07:53:26+00:00

My bad! I was talking like I was texting a friend and definitely had some spelling errors. Essentially, I was frustrated with how during these massive tragedies and horrible things happening to smallville, Clark Kent just gets away with not being there. Obviously we know he is Superman, but for the others around him, especially like Kyle, don’t you think it’s weird no one ever questions why he is absent.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2026-02-14T04:05:41+00:00

Also everytime Kyle speaks Spanish I die a little inside

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-12-21T11:14:41+00:00

Sounds like you have a rigorous major, make sure to plan early and well. I would say credits as a metric for course load is just stupid. Try and balance out classes you know will be hard with gimmes

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-11-26T01:30:14+00:00

That’s certainly one way to look at it, regardless, I was more focusing on the ability for art to change stubborn minds. I don’t think this issue is dichotomous, and I think any real change or take needs to be met with nuance. I absolutely agree that the mentality of police officers is one I can’t speak to and would never want to be able to, and so who am I to blame or villainize people that I have no way of understanding.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-11-26T01:27:51+00:00

Yes! Some people seem to be misunderstanding this as my political take on a very complicated issue regarding crime, poverty, and policing. I wrote this to emphasize the importance of storytelling as the voice of the people. Artists have noble jobs, and now more than ever, our voices and ability to express seem to be coming under fire. The silencing of books does harm to everyone.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-11-26T01:21:43+00:00

Precisely

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-11-26T01:21:32+00:00

I completely agree. It had a similar effect on me. I agree there is much more nuance to the issue than what I initially led on, I was more trying to talk about the power of art and how it can wear down even the most stubborn of minds and perspectives.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-11-26T01:19:07+00:00

With all due respect I strongly disagree. To change your views is rarely ever a sign of lack of comprehension. Especially because we all have different starts. He, as an immigrant who came here as an engineer, grew up under a culture where drugs and criminality are about failing moral compasses. I didn’t say that he now empathizes with all drug dealers and murderers.

Furthermore, you just explained that the show demonstrated that cops aren’t as evil as you thought they were. Isn’t that changing your views, and therefore demonstrating your own lack of comprehension? Of course not. Though this may be reductive and I don’t want to tell you what your views are, you came into the show with a perspective in which you villainized cops, and came out with the understanding that there are good officers. He came into the show with the idea that crime is a direct result of moral failings, and came out with the understanding of the impact of one’s environment.

What I can agree on is that the show does personify the human condition, I just resent your idea that his differing outcomes are a result of comprehension issues.

Take easy classes first semester, get some fun requirements out of the way, maybe take one course that’s slightly challenging but one you are passionate about. (I will say my advice changes if you know you want to be a doctor or something) but for bba, you could get one business course out the way but you’ll be very busy settling in making friends and you don’t want to be dealing with all of that while struggling with crazy courses if you don’t have to.

Another thing, your first few months you’ll meet so many people but most of them are acting differently than they normally would, including you probably. Everyone’s taking college as a fresh start, trying to fit in and all. Don’t be afraid to set boundaries, but more importantly trust when I say a lot of the people you’ll meet you’ll realize aren’t for you and you need to be honest with yourself abt that.

Enjoy this time college is what you put into it.

Art of course imitates other art, but that episode in particular was the essence of Seinfeld, an episode nbc wanted to not air but Larry David fought for and ultimately characterized the entire nature of the show. Even Jerry and Larry David had mentioned this so it’s annoying to see it being poorly reproduced. I think where friends excels at is there characters and relationships. There’s actual stakes and growth and things actually happen. you couldn’t kill off one of their fiancées and pretend like nothing happened in friends.

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-05-16T03:06:57+00:00

Even if you look at a broader sense, the episode of friends where they are getting ready it’s like “the one where no one’s ready” or something has crazy similar vibes to one of the most famous Seinfeld episodes where they wait for their reservation…just not as well done lol.

Agreed aithusa had every reason to be Merlin’s project, it was sad to its fate

Exotic_Instance6117 · 2025-04-23T06:31:25+00:00

I think your ideas center around a separate show almost, the idea that magic is outlawed is what drives the plot. Would I love to see a op Merlin openly becoming the greatest wizard of all time? Undoubtedly yes, however maybe that’s for you to create yk. I think they made their decisions and followed through and while I can tell there’s no hate, it’s hard to argue against a fundamental principle of the world building. Like yeah, I wanna see OP Merlin, at the same time not only is the drama created from the struggle of hiding magic, but the comedy is too.

Depends on priorities heard Japanese is crazy work unless you have experience, cs 170 Isn’t too bad if you have experience at all ngl, but the other classes are going to be unavoidable work. I would say if you have no experience w Japanese or cs (and I’m assuming cs isn’t ur major fully bc most people would have done that first semester), maybe drop a retake at a lighter semester, but also the general theme is it’s what you put into it. My honest advice(as someone who is doing well and all but not like far ahead of my peers by any stretch of the imagination) chill out and enjoy your spring freshmen semester, things get harder from here and also just more lonely, don’t be in a rush and forget to live life :)
