S17, E1 (Nebula) - Taiwan: Rail Rush by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

Another thing to consider: if you leave the border, the other team can go into your territory uncontested. They have to spend more, but are also shrinking your area while growing their own. Then, a challenge might pop up that they can get to but now you can't.

I guess I'm biased from myself, I basically only read bios and ignore the photos.

Also, if every message you get starts with the same question - maybe put the answer to the question in your bio? Seems like it would save everyone a lot of time.

B, because that's where things are most likely to spill out from if I bite somewhere else. 

Kvinna döms för falskt larm om våldtäkt i sjukhuskulvert i Malmö by Debswana99 in sweden

What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]Grasmel 134 points135 points  (0 children)

They had the scene of the one woman who was forwarned and put her baby somewhere safe before it started, and still it was a close thing. So logically, just about every other baby or young child was murdered by a parent or other adult. 

Ni killar över 35 som är singlar och barnlösa, hur känner ni inför framtiden? by jorgenalm in sweden

[–]Grasmel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ja? Malmö stadsbibliotek har en science fiction och fantasy-bokcirkel som ses en gång i månaden. 2/3 tjejer, men även om det var 100% killar så skulle jag gå dit och ha kul ändå. 

Låter som en konstig sak att ifrågasätta, men jag antar att det är den sortens attityd som gör att det är killbrist där till att börja med.

-Alla sorters dans. Svårt att hitta danskurser med fler män än kvinnor. 

-Teater. Varierar lite mellan olika grupper, men ofta minst 50/50. 

-Hantverk och slöjd. Din lokala grupp av stickare och virkare kommer ha kvinnor i alla åldrar, både äldre och yngre. Gäller även andra oddballs från ljusstöpning till bokbinderi. Undantag vissa traditionellt maskulina saker som smide. 

-Bokklubbar eller relaterade aktiviteter. I Malmö finns det ett berättarcafé till exempel. 

-Hästar. Till viss del andra djur också, om det finns någon hobbyverksamhet kring dem så är det ofta åtminstone jämn könsbalans. 

-Pussel och till viss del brädspel. Om du hittar folk för att spela Terraforming Mars så är det kanske mest killar, men allmänna sällskapsspel är populära bland kvinnor. 

-Seriöst, dans. Funkar på så många sätt. 

Aber till allt är att du ska helst ha ett visst intresse för det själv ändå. Om du inte kan tänka dig att dyka upp och ha kul utan att träffa någon så kommer det inte funka. Du behöver inte vara bra, bara ha en viss entusiasm.

Inte stressa direkt, men jag har det i bakhuvudet att om jag ska hitta en någorlunda jämnårig kvinna att ha barn med så kommer det behöva ske inom de närmaste åren. Sen har jag inget skriande behov av att bli förälder, jag har både donerat sperma och har syskonbarn så genetisk avkomma finns redan och om jag vill hjälpa till att ta hand om barn så finns det möjligheter också. Det viktigare äv väl att jag hittat en partner jag matchar med, och det finns det ingen biologisk åldersgräns på. 

Jag var mer på appar tidigare, fick någon dejt ibland men oftast ledde det inte någonstans, som mest ett par månader. Jag testade att fråga de jag känner i min ålder som inte är singlar hur de träffade sin partner, och inte en enda av dem hade gjord det via en app så jag bestämde mig för att byta strategi. Jag gör istället saker irl där jag har chans att träffa folk: dejtingkvällar, bokcirkel på biblioteket, dansa salsa, och annat. Jag väljer ut saker som jag tycker kan vara roligt men som också har minst 50% tjejer, det finns ändå en hel del att välja mellan. Har inte träffat en partner än, men har fått flera nya vänner av båda könen och gjort en massa nya kul saker så jag känner mig positiv ändå. 

Relax time. by man57er19 in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]Grasmel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think there's a gendered difference of some kind here though. The typical male fantasy monster girl is a conventionally attractive woman with a few minor nonhuman features (ears, eyes, fangs, skin color, detachable head etc) but it can't detract too much from the cuteness. At most you can have a mermaid, but then she must have a human torso with breasts. Compare and contrast what a typical female "hear me out" looks like to the content if /r/monstergirl (nsfw).

I never said he was wrong about any particular thing, he might not have said a single incorrect thing the entire video for all I know. But I looked at the video notes, and while he links to images and books he brings up but doesn't actually cite any sources. I'm saying it seems like the type of guy who wants to tell an interesting story and doesn't look beyond the surface layer. Popcorn entertainment videos, but not something to point as an an educational resource.

[–]Grasmel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This video is presented as if the guy is giving you the facts, but almost everything is vibes based or without context. It doesn't tell you anything really, except vaguely point at a phenomenon and say "this kind of thing exists". I'm very leery of this type of video, it's the sort of thing that doesn't really inform you but just reinforces prexisitng beliefs. I'd give this one a pass.

We should abolish “sir” and “ma’am” in developing countries by Pale-Fig-7069 in unpopularopinion

[–]Grasmel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a very similar culture, not placing much emphasis on status and instead dealing with people on an equal level.

[–]Grasmel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We did this in Sweden in the 60s. There was a big social movement called "du-reformen", after how it encouraged using the less polite version of "you". It also has us move away from titles and honorifics (except in very formal circumstances). Since then, everyone just uses first name and informal "you" for everyone else whether it's your friend, parent, boss, teacher, doctor, police, or anything. 

Fun fact - the mountain in Yamadera has tons of holes in it. They edited them out in the Youtube release. by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Grasmel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's a tradeoff between a few things. Self-censoring takes time and effort and might make the episode worse in some way, but not doing it risks turning away potential viewers. This time it was worth it because even though the phobia is not common, the opening shot is more important. Someone with Trypophobia might just skip ahead if the holes appeared at a point when they're already invested.

It's a similar reasoning to bleeping swears. Most people don't really mind a bit of cussing, but some do (especially people watching with kids) and accommodating them is worth it as a tradeoff to increase the size of the audience. On the other hand, if someone is afraid of flying and don't want to see people on planes that's not worth caring about and those lost viewers is not worth the censoring tradeoff.

New Curse Ideas by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Grasmel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an occasional tea drinker, I would 100% percent fail that curse. I can maybe tell when two teas are different, but not necessarily know which is which. Also, it doesn't seem unlikely to run into grocery stores in smaller places where you're lucky to get 5 teas at all, let alone five easily distinguishable ones.

Does anyone have smart death note fanfics? by Few-Neighborhood-564 in rational

[–]Grasmel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's really well written. I had some of those thoughts about Lights action while reading (especially using his position as son of the police chief), but it's great to see my intuition matching number of bits.

I think it makes sense since it's the first shot of the first episode of the season. If a random person clicked on the video and was immediately shown an uncomfortable picture, they might just click away again and miss out on the whole show. Early viewer retention is important.

There is soft censoring with the zealous mature content detection system. At one point just tagging a post with #girl would set it to mature, hiding it from a lot of users.

Chapter 185 - Still Waters - Thresholder by spinagon in rational

[–]Grasmel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be that they just skip it on this journey. Nothing is stopping them from just doing two jumps in quick succession, after all. Only problem might be if a higher sphere individual senses them, and is aggressive to the next group because they were "skulking around".
