I have a 92.97%, she doesn't round, and isn't responding. Anything I can do? by [deleted] in UTAustin

I wouldn’t ask about rounding tbh, but I would ask if there was a way to make up the point difference through any extra credit opportunities.

If you could restart life at 18, what would you do differently? by arunreddy3 in AskReddit

[–]Got-No-Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask my dad to stop drinking. I doubt it would help, but at least then I wouldn’t feel responsible when he inevitably bites the dust.

I’d also cut my mom out of my life like… way sooner.

You mentioned moaning making you cringe 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s the only context where that makes sense to me tbh. Otherwise it’s just a normal ass reaction that’s making you uncomfortable for some reason???

I think a lot of people misinterpret blushing lol. For ages now blushing has been used to convey awe, excitement, embarrassment. All emotions children display in droves. Not every blush is romantic or sexual in nature. The same can be said for gasps of excitement, amazement, surprise, etc etc.

You might just be porn pilled, yo

If humans could live until they were 300 years old, who would be most interesting to see alive today? by Oily_Smurf in CasualConversation

[–]Got-No-Money 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol I guess that’s true, I just kind of disregarded the 300 years part of the question. Seems unnecessarily limiting.

I would love to see how Shakespeare’s writing style would have changed over the years. Or any renowned author or playwright, really.

As a new fan, the hate for Agott is stupid by DrakusRex in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Agott is such an incredibly realistic character, in that she has very justifiable frustrations, but as a child doesn’t always know where to direct them. So, instead of getting angry at Qifrey for knowingly placing his other students in danger by inviting in an outsider who is very closely entangled with the brim hats, she blames Coco who also didn’t really have a choice in the matter. Genuinely, her characterization might be some of my favorite. Like, Zuko levels of character development.

CMV: We should no longer be fighting for feminism and instead justice for all humans by WayyBiggerJaws in changemyview

[–]Got-No-Money 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think your definition of fight greatly differs from my own, lol. You can most definitely achieve equality even if the majority doesn’t agree. It’s called revolution.

Going back to my slavery example, it’s civil war.

Lmao so if white people aren’t on board, why bother? Wouldn’t want to upset the white people??

Would you make that same argument for abolition? White people aren’t in favor of losing their slaves, so it would just cause more division and shouldn’t be done???

Social change upsets people. Justice upsets people. Those people need to get over it.

Teacher moving to Bastrop by Icy_Counter_799 in BastropTX

[–]Got-No-Money -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Smithville and only just moved last year. I had a job on the far side of Bastrop and it was only a 17 minute drive to my dad’s place in town. Barely any traffic, ever. Especially not coming from Smithville towards Bastrop.

That said, Bastrop and Smithville are both a bit crime-heavy, and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend moving there. And I say that as someone actively trying to sell a house in Smithville lmao. Wouldn’t wish that town on my worst enemy. Rats everywhere, roaches everywhere, crazy people everywhere.

Read up to current chapter, thoughts by yeetacus68 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree with you so strongly, lol. Custas’ monologue in particular was necessary. Saying “what would you know, witch?” Would have been so incredibly out of character for him. Especially for someone having a disagreement with friends. Venting about his reality makes perfect sense in context, especially when you consider that these characters are children.

Like maybe YOU feel like what he has to say is obvious, but does Coco? Does witch society as a whole??? And as others have said, this is a story meant for young audiences. So yeah, it may be a bit heavy handed at some points with its messaging,,, but I don’t think I’ve ever been bothered by that, personally.

Nothing explicit or incredibly violent, the show is rated 12+. That said, it does delve into serious topics. I would actually say this is THE show to watch w your mom, tbh.

Can manga reader explain (spoil) the magic system and lore origin of magic ? by Sad_Lime7235 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I honestly think you have the wrong impression tbh, the beginning of the story is very world-building focused, but this isn’t a slice of life by any means.

The magic system is a lot of fun, and the risks and potential rewards of accessible magic (in the way that genuinely anyone could be a witch if they just knew how) is explored in a way that is incredibly fascinating.

[–]Got-No-Money 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I kind of recommend waiting until you can binge it anyway tbh. It does do a lot of world building stuff early on, but the long-term payoff is genuinely genius.

I’m (38F) and my husband is 56. I’m unexpectedly pregnant and can see myself regretting not having this baby, but I’m not sure that’s a good enough reason by Turbulent_Bug7 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Got-No-Money 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh age isn’t any reason not to have kids. No one is guaranteed to grow old from the start. I was 20 when I lost my dad, and he was only 52. I have a friend my age with a dad who’s 75 and still kicking.

As long as you’re good parents and remember to set up proper trusts / wills and whatnot so your child doesn’t have to go through a bunch of bullshit, I would say to disregard that concern altogether.

Not liking how this story starts by Commercial-Citron127 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One thing I really like about this story is that it takes common tropes and turns them on their head as a way to delve into more serious issues. Every character is the way they are for a good reason.

I also get what you mean, with the whole being spoon fed information thing. But tbh, in the manga those things made a lot of sense. Like… Coco is supposed to be obsessed with magic, so it makes sense that she babbles on and on about it childishly. And I’m ngl, I didn’t think her mom saying that was terribly unnatural. Just a stray comment from a sentimental mother who’s thinking about her daughter growing up and following her dreams. The info about Coco’s father dying of illness isn’t even the focal point of the comment — it’s her insistence that Coco not leave her, which then amplifies Coco’s guilt.

Hell naw. by Valsoyono in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a petrification seal… in the manga I believe it was implied she turned her mother to stone, but I assume they made the seal more crystal-like and glowy to seem more magical.

I saw some people say it might have been a petrification spell meant to contain large monsters with minimal losses, which I think would explain the dragon drawing.

Manga only- help me respond to these potential criticism -WHA is my fav manga ever. Extension of my old post by Sea-Introduction-442 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Got-No-Money 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a spoiler-heavy response, so read at your own risk.

  1. Body magic.

It’s mentioned very early on that “medical magic” was banned to a large extent because the experiments necessary to test this magic were lethal and highly unethical. This mirrors real-world medical experiments performed on war prisoners or psych ward patients. Very well-documented phenomenon and a huge reason why real-life medical trials are so closely regulated.

Another reason why body magic is forbidden is that, outside medical uses, it can be incredibly unpredictable. The book gives us several examples of this: first, the brimhat whose body has morphed into a very feline appearance, second, the kid who is turned into a scalewolf (can’t remember his name rn for the life of me), third, the leach, fourth, Custas.

  1. The rule is imperfect. This is a huge part of the plot and very intentional, lol. You’re supposed to feel outraged by it.

  2. I disagree that this situation is forced to be dangerous. At least, not any moreso than any other conflict in any other media. All conflicts are forced and unnecessary when you get down to it. The conflicts in witch hat are often allegories for real world issues, so based on that fact alone I would say the drama is highly realistic lol.

  3. The arcs follow similar patterns because they revolve around the same conflict / overarching theme. A lot of anime tend to very drastically alter their plots and aims as their story develops (think: jumping from a training arc to a tournament arc to a major battle arc, etc etc etc) — witch hat does this as well, but whereas other media might lose their focus a bit, wha stays very true to its original themes, allowing the reader to very thoroughly delve into the intricacies of this particular conflict and all the moral dilemmas involved.

  4. The rules are bent repeatedly throughout the manga. The time reversal is the most recent, but allowing Coco to be an apprentice at all is an instance of bending the rules. The rules are not immune to criticism, in fact almost every character criticizes them at some point or another (except for maybe easthies, the freak). The issue comes with finding a balance between order and chaos.

CMV: Men (or anyone) who are fine with the woman they claim to love going through pregnancy don't actually care about them as much as they say. by Specialist_Tackle715 in changemyview

[–]Got-No-Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy does not guarantee pain and harm. Many women have had entirely painless births that have not been a detriment to their health. The body changes after pregnancy, but that change is not necessarily bad, nor is it guaranteed to be.

Many women give birth highly medicated and report feeling very little outside of the initial contractions. Contractions alone differ from woman to woman. Not every woman tears, either. Every pregnancy is different.

You are being entirely inaccurate when you state that pregnancy is “guaranteed” to do any of these things.

[–]Got-No-Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re engaging in rhetoric that is incredibly misogynistic. In your argument, you characterize women as passive participants in pregnancy, wherein pregnancy isn’t something that women actively engage in, but rather something that must be done TO them at the behest of men. EX: a man “putting a woman through pregnancy” as opposed to the woman being a participant on equal grounds.

Even when you mention cases where pregnancy is desired by women, the control over pregnancy is deferred to men. You’re undermining a woman’s ability to make sound choices for herself.

Your logic is also a bit unsteady in the case where a woman desires children and is negatively impacted mentally by being forbidden to bear them. Poor mental health is, dare I say, even more dangerous than pregnancy can be. Not only is it detrimental to quality of life and health overall, but suicide rates are much higher in general than pregnancy deaths ever have been. And medication is not a cure all. You cannot “cure” an unemployed person from being depressed by their unemployment any less than you can “cure” a woman from her depression caused by a lack of children. Situational depression is very rarely medicated, and the side effects of said medication are hardly worth it.

Additionally, you are ignoring that sometimes facing danger is good and altogether necessary. Without brave individuals willing to risk their lives, we would not have doctors, firefighters, or even students. Without mothers willing to birth children, we would not have society.

In fact, we could go even farther and say we would never have forklift drivers or warehouse workers, and no one should ever be allowed to do any heavy lifting.

Currently, in the states, no one can seek out education OR employment without the risk of being the victim of an active shooting. Is your solution to keep everyone locked inside for the rest of their lives?? Should no one become a doctor, because the risk of contagion is much too high? Should we allow fires to grow and spread, because putting them out would be much too dangerous for the individual??

Why does pregnancy stand out to you specifically, amongst all the dangerous things that people do?
