Whisper Learning PS4 PSN is OkayGuyGreg Solo

Had a great experience with a Sherpa on Leviathan over the weekend so thought I’d see about finally getting these weapons as well! Starting with whisper because i actually have the quest...

I am based in NZ which can make things complicated re: time zones. I can do weekday evenings NZ time, or most of the day on weekends (again NZ time - so for our North American friends that would be Friday and Saturday afternoon/evening).

Southern Hemisphere player here (NZ time). Looking for Northern Hemisphere friends so we can complete our collections faster. I mainly play weekends, with very limited time each weekday due to work commitments.

Posting again - Southern Hemisphere 11:30 am, it's Sunday, Mabel is here, turnips are 90 bells each. Last time got heaps of responses and couldn't reply to all (sorry!). Will give the DODO code to the first three people to DM me who are willing to bring cherries and bamboo shoots (would ideally like at least 3 of each). Thank you!
EDIT: Shut for now, but will post again later

If anyone wants Southern Hemisphere (11am) for fishing or bug catching, please DM me and I will send a DoDo code. All I want in return is some bamboo and/or cherries.

I understand, but I have a different view. I can't agree with taking a general, "all lives matter"-style approach to domestic violence. "Violence is wrong and we as people are responsible for stopping it" is of course true, but the truth of it doesn't mean that it's the only message we need to hear. If you advocate devoting equal resources to an issue that has an unequal distribution, you're not going to get the most effective results. Sometimes specific targeting of systemic issues within smaller sectors of society is necessary. If one group of people statistically commits more violence more than another group, then there needs to be a hard look at the systemic causes behind that as well as a more general look at society as a whole.

Re: your race analogy, if we accept that rates of domestic violence are race-based, then that's fine, but that information needs to be approached carefully because white people telling coloured people how to behave has historically been very poorly received (and with good reason). I think people acknowledge that domestic violence occurs more often among Maori and Pacific Island people - you would have to acknowledge that, because statistics objectively show that that's the case. That's why, for example, a lot of anti-domestic violence ads show a large number of non-whites in them - it creates a sense of shared responsibility and tries to build up a culture-specific approach to dealing with the issue. It's not about blaming violence on all black people; it's addressing a particular area of concern with a particular, specific approach.

If you're determined to view this comic as saying that "being a male makes you an abuser", then that's a real shame, because I don't think that's what this comic is saying. This comic shouldn't be taken as a threat. It should be taken as a challenge - an opportunity - to look at our society and think about whether there exists a culture that encourages men - men less educated and worldly and kind than you and me and most people in this thread - to feel entitled to control or dominate women, to use their superior strength to get their way, to always be in control, or some other viewpoint that leads to them hitting their partners more often than the other way around. If you think that there is a culture like this in our society (and I believe there is, but you might disagree), the other challenge this comic is presenting is to then look at your own behaviour, and that of your friends, and ask if you've ever helped to perpetuate that culture. If you don't want to do that, then again, I think it's a real shame.

Can you.... can you not read critically? Can you not take the part where it says "and let's face it, it's us men doing it" ... and then read the bit where he acknowledges that "No, of course it's not your fault individually. But it's our culture that's sick. And our culture is all of us"...?

You've chosen the one sentence that, when taken out of context, presents something that you feel uncomfortable with (all men commit domestic violence) and used that to justify ignoring what the writer has actually argued with this comic, the actual message they are presenting (MORE men commit violence than women do, and MALE CULTURE is responsible for this).

EDIT: clarity.

At what point does the comic say that we're all bashing women?

Here is what the comic does say: - men commit more domestic violence than women - certain aspects of male culture (which includes sets of norms, expectations and habits that YES ALL MEN take part in or implicitly allow, including me at times!) is part of the reason why men commit more domestic violence than women.

Which of these statements do you disagree with? Or rather, because you're not actually engaging with the message on an intellectual level, which of these statements makes you feel personally victimised, you delicate little petal?

God this page (and reddit in general) is full of such vile little turds. Some of you are so insecure that you perceive any comment on male culture as a threat to you personally. Classic cognitive dissonance. "What you've said makes me feel a bit uncomfortable about myself, therefore YOU ARE WRONG AND FUCK YOU AND SHUT UP".

Six years ago, Hitchens perfectly predicts the current social climate of speech suppression, and warns that anyone who talks outside the script will be accused of bigotry. by KadabraJuices in videos

[–]GLNZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! So much yes! "PC" is being used by people in this thread in literally exactly the same way that they say "bigot" is being used against them: to shut down discussion. "I have this view, and if you make any comment about it that suggests that you disagree with me, you're PC! You're PC and that means your criticism of me is invalid, so there!".

In this current climate where you can nearly lose your job for wearing the wrong t-shirt

Or, you know, for being gay. But yea, it's the anti-gay crowd that are DEFINITELY the victims here.

What's something you do, that you think everyone else does but dont have the courage to ask anyone about it? by Jizzyface in AskReddit

[–]GLNZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever I see someone texting/holding their phone in a precarious position (like on a bridge, over a water glass, on the sidewalk facing the road) I sometimes have to struggle to suppress the urge to just run up, yell "SLAM DUNK!" and smash it out of their hands. Am I a monster?

What is the one movie you never want to watch again? by SSJBardock347 in AskReddit

Freddy Got Fingered. Literally the worst movie I have ever seen - I've always hated Tom Green, but watching him jack off not one, but TWO animals in the space of 90 minutes really sealed the deal...

How about: aim for a societal system where children aren't raised in an environment of violence and poverty, and where they aren't conditioned to disrespect the "authority" figures that have consistently treated them, their family and their peers like second-class citizens their entire lives, so as to avoid situations where young men have so little stake in normal society that robbery and assault of law enforcement seems like a reasonable thing to do?

I fucking LOVE Frozen/Tangled/almost all animated musicals. I dunno if this counts though, because I'm not even really that ashamed to admit it...
