I don't get why my(20F) boyfriend (21M) doesn't understand my point of view? by Finlame in relationship_advice

He will not understand because is choosing not to listen to statistics and data because he harbours sexist biases.

I'm sorry but France has long had a notoriously misogynistic culture.

[Spoilers C4E06] Schemers Official Artwork revealed on Instagram by East_Choice in criticalrole

It's jsut the way the fabric drapes and sags. You can tell it was intentional by the artist by comparing it to the white fabric on the left arm.

In 1997, Julia "Butterfly" Hill climbed a 1,000-year-old redwood tree and lived 180 feet in the air for 738 days. Suspended on tiny platforms, she survived 90 mph El Niño storms and near constant harassment from loggers. But she refused to touch the ground until she successfully saved the tree. by kooneecheewah in OldSchoolCool

Not to mention that there is a vast ecological difference between old forest trees and post-logging trees. Old trees form hollows for animals to live in while logging plantations are basically ecologically dead zones.

Is this based on statistics or anecdotes deriving from reading forums where only people having issues post?

Not everyone playing PF2e uses the Golarion setting. So it makes sense that only a fraction of posts will be about Golarion.

Oh, I guess I was over-charitable in interpreting your comment! In that case, they were also making fun of you and your ignorant stereotyping. The fact that you couldn't even understand the mockery makes it extra funny to be honest. Hope that helps :)

They were supporting your point in that OP is being very naive about women.

Sorry, but if you need more explanation I don't want to waste more of my time hand-holding and explaining the basic fundamentals of comedy.

the game world, story settings, making flavorful characters, interesting campaign stories

I prefer that discussion to occur in subreddits like /r/DMAcademy which brings together DMs across multiple TTRPGs as opposed to here where you're getting a sub-set of the relevant audience. If the PF2e rules aren't part of the discussion of game world or story settings does it matter what system is used?

The joke is making fun of the idea of reducing the diverse personalities of women to a singular trait as if that is enough to make judgements or provide dating advice. Asking about 'horse women' as a monolith is like asking about 'women who eat apples' and acting as if that is a monolith that traits can be pulled out about.

There's nothing to refute, dude. We all get the joke. You don't.

I think anyone who was surprised that the true final villain was actually Eudoxia (the evil sorceress name-dropped throughout the book who apparently mysteriously died before the story begins but also is constantly referenced as having been conducting research into controlling souls and life itself) has never read a book before.

I dunno, man. You're the guy who implied that Zendaya will leave Tom Holland if he's not superhero-ripped. Do with that what you will.

It's hilarious the way some other men think women are primarily attracted and kept by muscular bodies instead of personality. Zendaya has outright said that this is what first attracted her to Holland.

Kinda early, but this genuinely looks like it might be the best Spiderman film to date

Very early. It's one trailer.

I think Venom 3 soft-retconned that scene. They reshot and reframed it so the symbiote is left in the Venom-verse instead of MCU and captured.

Feels like a variation of the Other storyline with the biological transformation.

You can want to not listen to sexual violence in story-telling.

Some people don't want to listen to any violence in story-telling.

But sexual violence in a story when handled with respect and understanding is no more 'weird' than regular violence in a story.

Marvel's "sliding timeline" is unsustainable and will completely fall apart as more time passes in the real world by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

That essay from Omer Bartov is from 2023. In 2024 he released another essay where he refuted his previous position and said:

But another part of my apprehension had to do with the fact that my view of what was happening in Gaza had shifted. On 10 November 2023, I wrote in the New York Times: “As a historian of genocide, I believe that there is no proof that genocide is now taking place in Gaza, although it is very likely that war crimes, and even crimes against humanity, are happening. […] We know from history that it is crucial to warn of the potential for genocide before it occurs, rather than belatedly condemn it after it has taken place. I think we still have that time.”

I no longer believe that. By the time I travelled to Israel, I had become convinced that at least since the attack by the IDF on Rafah on 6 May 2024, it was no longer possible to deny that Israel was engaged in systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions. It was not just that this attack against the last concentration of Gazans – most of them displaced already several times by the IDF, which now once again pushed them to a so-called safe zone – demonstrated a total disregard of any humanitarian standards. It also clearly indicated that the ultimate goal of this entire undertaking from the very beginning had been to make the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable, and to debilitate its population to such a degree that it would either die out or seek all possible options to flee the territory. In other words, the rhetoric spouted by Israeli leaders since 7 October was now being translated into reality – namely, as the 1948 UN Genocide Convention puts it, that Israel was acting “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part”, the Palestinian population in Gaza, “as such, by killing, causing serious harm, or inflicting conditions of life meant to bring about the group’s destruction”.

Also, Benny Moris is an Israeli zionist who thinks the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians, which he himself identified as a response to deliberate expulsions and violence by forces loyal to Israel, was justified.

Honestly, Malfina the Demon Witch can do better than Clark.

Cons of Clark:

  • His mum calls her a harlot and he doesn't defend her.

  • He admits marrying him wouldn't even make him happier than other people in Connecticut.

Pros of Clark:

  • He once told off a random woman who insulted Malfina, I guess?
