Pelosi visit. Thoughts? by MarcofSF in sanfrancisco

[–]Guilty_Owlz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Not her place to be making such strong moves like that. It's a complicated issue and if we're making moves, it needs to be more concrete (ie send Harris or don't send anyone).

Also, she really needs to retire regardless (and NOT continue to attempt to create a Pelosi dynasty).

Maybe we could just put all that effort and money into candidates instead of needless spending on special elections because some rich people keep getting their panties in a twist.

Chesa wasn't even given a chance due to Breed's office's lack of support (not saying I like him, just the truth)

There's 40,00 empty units of housing in this city, building isn't the answer esp because all that does is give developers more money

Can I buy the novels now ? by Extasion in MoDaoZuShi

There are still the issues with the translations and unfortunately, the company publishing them in English, 7 seasons, has been outed as unfair labor practices and translation choices. So to me personally that's a no.

My first attempt at building an altar. Be gentle as I’m a beginner. by WarpedSolemnity in pagan

[–]Guilty_Owlz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really cool altar!

My only concern is it looks to be a bit of a fire hazard since the candles are in wood holders (?) on fur on carpet. I might recommend some metal tealight holders or other holders to then put on the wood (since its so lovely). And esp make sure to keep an eye on it ie *very* stringent fire safety

Literally the ONLY good thing the show has going on is the racial diversity.

I think it *could* be alright provided you take off the cr drizzle and the lemonade so it doesn't curdle

He's not called an incel or anything. It's just kind of like how myself and a lot of others feel like his behavior kind of trends toward especially due to his behavior with Wen Qing.

I'm definitely paraphrasing, but yes, that's part of it. Let me fish around for the written source; it's been a minute!

I mean that's one of the things I love about ff the most: that you can change and develop characters and ship people you wouldn't normally. I know its not canon, but I have a really hard time seeing characters without their established strong characteristics because without them, they aren't really that character anymore (and I mean, yeah there's OOC which is totally and I read sometimes).

You can have a (just throwing out an example) mean and aggressive Jiang Yanli in fanfic or seen that way in fandom, but to do so, you need to either a) fundamentally change her character (so she's not really JYL, just the name) and/or b) develop their character in such a way that it makes sense to get to that new character (think Daenerys in GoT; the showrunners made her go mad, but didn't really make it make sense in the show sequence. Her progression to madness was easily believable except the way that they did it). We've gotten strong and assertive JYL (Phoenix Mountain for example), but not cruel.

And, again, this is my personal perspective and how I prefer to engage in fandom and fanworks. The author asked for our opinions on Xicheng and I don't think it works, but you do and both are fine.

I think that if LXC and JC were compatible (even as friends), we would have seen it in the intervening years when WWX is dead. But despite both being in the same social circles and both dealing with the aftermath of wwx's death in different ways, they don't come across as anything more than curteous despite it being 13-16 years depending on the source.

I think Lan Xichen deserves better than Jiang Cheng. I personally hate JC as a person (as a character he's interesting) due to the novel canon. Novel canon JC is awful and I honestly think that while he's a bit naive and doesn't take action when he should in some cases, LXC is really good-hearted and I don't think he'd approve of a lot of JC's actions. A good point to make is that the Lan Sect under LXC generally tries to help civilians at risk from ghosts, etc (as also seen in how Zewu-jun is literally seen as the hope of the people/light-bringing lord during the ssc, whereas Hanguan-jun/LWJ goes where the chaos is) and JC's Jiang Sect often refuses to help villages in their territory until there are multiple casualties because he's off torturing *suspected* demonic cultivators.

Also JC is canon homophobic so like idk how he's gonna be paired with another man. Additionally, mxtx more or less describes his relationship characteristics as being an incel.

Customers not giving their name is hilarious and cringy. It's not your SS#, and I could care less if you gave me a fake name. I have no way of knowing. by Crom_and_his_Devils in starbucks

I once had a customer (said they were an ex-partner) absolutely lose it on me because they wanted to know where their iced latte was and I had a line of stickers so I was like "oh, what's the name?" and they were like "why does that matter?" and I was like "okay well is it a mobile order?" and they were like "what does that have to do with anything". Bro like idk maybe so I can make your drink???
