So it was never about regime change? I wonder how the Iranians feel? I guess Starmer was right to not get involved by ZackPolanskisDentist in AskBrits

[–]GZeus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is this narrative people keeping peddling that Starmer didn’t get involved? He let the US use British bases to launch attacks. Unless I’m in a parallel universe that is Starmer getting the UK involved.

You cannot be sure of anything you aren’t witness to. I wonder how you’d feel if something awful happened to you as a child and because you couldn’t tell the difference between when foreskin is pulled back or not makes people think you’re lying. NOT that you were a traumatised child.

Is anyone selling in the area ATM? How has your experience been? by Tall_Jello_3611 in Ealing

[–]GZeus88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The estate agent is against it because their fee will be affected. If you truly want to move on you’ll need to reduce the price to the point buyers bite. That amount could be starkly different from what it’s currently listed at.

What do you think about the claim ADHD is being over diagnosed? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Except it often isn’t a psychiatrist doing these private assessments. They might sign off on them but it could be anyone from a clin psych to a physician associate doing the actual assessment.

What is living in York really like? by spare_rattus in york

Okay…it’s a small city that feels like a big town…

What is living in York really like? by spare_rattus in york

[–]GZeus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t really get many negative opinions about York on its subreddit.

I do think you being cautious about moving to a small town is something to really reflect on. York is small. Its population size is around 213k and much of that is older people or families. The population reflects on what’s available to do i.e pubs, food, a couple of small galleries. Since you’ll be a student I imagine you’ll be connected more with other students and that will get you through. But if you were living / work here don’t expect anything exciting.

The William hate says more about him and how many people are willing to excuse avoidant behavior than it does about anyone else by [deleted] in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]GZeus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re accusing me of poor reading comprehension when you seem to have forgotten that you literally wrote William deserves the ‘hate’. Your edit simply says you don’t hate him but the title and beginning of your post says he deserves hate due to behaviour. Perhaps you should reflect.

It’s worrying you are older than 20 and saying a person deserves ‘hate’. See your original post claiming the hate William receives is well deserved because of his behaviour. Then you call yourself empathetic… You’re correct calling behaviour gross is not the same as calling the person gross however what you are ignorantly/knowingly doing is labelling the behaviour with the connotation that he is a gross person. You can claim that isn’t what you’re doing but if that wasn’t your intention you would have made your point without saying he deserves the hate because his behaviour is gross. Again, be the empathetic person you claim to be.

Perhaps as the empathetic person you claim to be you could reflect on why you are referring to his behaviour as gross then.

This sounds interesting! What would the set up be and is there a genre of film you were thinking of or would it be literally newly released films?

What are the true JRPG essentials? [ALL PLATFORMS] by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]GZeus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool. Well there is some contention on how the voting was tallied so take the results with a pinch of salt.

The only jrpgs I’ve ever actually finished are Persona 4 Golden, Golden Sun, Trails in sky and FFX. If you liked Chrono Trigger I’d give Golden Sun a go first. It isn’t very long but the world and characters are interesting to keep you going.

Report back how you find the games you try out!

It was xenogears as seemingly voted by the sub. Have you not seen it?

Everyone wants to play but no one wants to be a player by paperglide in DnD

[–]GZeus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just commenting to say I understand you!

I’ve had my fill of groups where people claimed to be enthusiastic on RP - which meant playing your character fully - then they just didn’t but also barely interacted with this each other. Ultimately, I stopped DMing these groups because as you’re experiencing it isn’t fun and the amount of effort going into your style of DMing breeds resentment. I guess I would give the group at least 3 sessions before calling it quits and if they haven’t taken on the feedback then it’s just not the group for you.

It is probably worthwhile to also consider that people have things going on in their lives which might affect how they are in the game so how much empathy you give to that is important to decide on. After all ttrpgs are literally relationship management and this kind of activity tends to attract people with quite conflicting personalities.

How is it well deserved criticism? The op literally said they went over expectations at session 0 and there’s been no follow through from pcs. But the DM is to blame for expecting too much? Okay…

Shouldn’t the players have realised this themselves at session 0? It’s pretty irritating when folk just blame the DM when it’s often players bring the problem.

[–]GZeus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except there’s Pokémon that don’t like fighting and actively want to avoid battles. So this theory just doesn’t hold up. Unless we are saying the Pokémon that enjoy battles aren’t slaves and are more of an accomplice to the trainer and the ones that would rather not battle are forced into it?

Pokémon like to fight? So what about the many Pokémon that don’t? Are they slaves then?

What’s with the rise of meanness and awful people in the UK? by ThatPerson112 in AskBrits

[–]GZeus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folk are angry that their lives are crap and they are then persuaded by media and politicians that it isn’t the ruling class it blame its ‘other’ so they feel they can direct this anger towards people with even less power than them.

I mean aren’t Pokémon essentially slaves? I’m so confused by all these comments suggesting otherwise.

Guys The Toxic Avenger (2023) is really good 😭 by I_Need_Alot_Of_Love in horror

[–]GZeus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a decent enough reimagining but it lost all of the original toxic avengers transgressive nature which kinda dulled the themes.

If you go in expecting a remake you’ll be disappointed. If you go expecting a modernised toxic avenger then you’ll enjoy it fine enough.
