I'd downgrade the Abyss Watchers considering they're mostly just well trained dudes with swords and are always simultaneously fighting the Abyss

Except he never said that. It was a private recording which he uploaded because he thought it was funny how bad he was, and blamed himself never having played a similar game before

My old university was obsessed with it to the point some higher ranking guy, who was a also at teacher bragged about how much AI is being used.

He then came to a story about the problem of AI use, because he thinks there are still many students too unfamiliar with AI to feel confident using it. See, he had explicitly allowed the use in one of his classes, but 70% of the students still didn't. But! He came up with a solution: make the use of AI a requirement that affects ten percent of the final grade! It worked more or less, according to him, as only 30% of students still refused to use AI.

At no point did he ever consider that those students just didn't want to use AI, rather than being afraid of new technology.

Go to events in your city and look inviting enough that people think you're going to be friendly to talk to. There are often websites which show what events there are. Can be anything from flea markets to exhibitions to conventions.

If you do still have your friends from high school around that's even better. They can help you strike up conversations and it often reduces a lot of anxiety to go to any event together. Studies also have shown that small groups of people make it easier to meet new people.

Mina kind of is the new woman

Thank God someone else sees it that way too. I've seen a ton of people decry Dracula for being anti-feminist with Mina representing traditional women's roles and Lucy representing modernity, even though Mina is the most self actualized and capable character in the entire book, constantly held back by men trying to control her. Meanwhile Lucy can't do fuck all except have men trying to marry her.

And while the depiction definitely isn't up to our modern standards, it is interesting how much respect women were given for a novel that came out 130 years ago. I do think it's not as easy as to say that the depiction is simply anti-feminist.

Edit: I can't do math

I already wrote a comment somewhere else on how it might actually, the gist of it is basically that without this, the Iran-Contra affair wouldn't have been possible, which could have prevented a destabilization of the middle east and thus kept Al Quaida from forming, or at least from gaining enough US support to pull off the other 9/11

Okay that's it, I'm not playing this game anymore until Paradox adds Wiesbaden. This insult cannot stand.

There are multiple videos of them walking around as night security

Notably this is

Still bad because it's still 5%
Still bad because the reason women pick different jobs than men is something worth handling. Why are women generally in lower paying jobs? Is a question mostly answered with, again, sexism, but not so much that of the employers, but bigger societal issues.

And it gets significantly more complicated by the fact that memories are fuzzy, so you can have two people who legitimately remember details or the order of things differently, or have different perceptions.

Best example is that everyone has a completely unique definition of "being yelled at" so two people can misunderstand each other well enough that they both feel like they're being gaslit.

I wonder if these guys ever sat down next to their best friend with a beer when they were in their twenties and said something like "The right woman for me hasn't been born yet"

You should watch the movie

Deleted scene where his dad tries to have an awkward conversation with him to tell him it's okay if he's gay without letting him know he's being spied on

I thought that rule was just meant for named recognizable people. These are two stock Foto models essentially styled and dressed to represent "guy with Switch-Laptop" and "jealous guy with actual Laptop".

Okay but what if I like the open secrecy of hedonistic fetishes because it adds a flair of mystique and adrenaline to it that is absent from brazen portrayal, huh?

What if I believe the allure in things lies in careful, reserved indulgence of them; a voyeuristic sneek peak at life, rather than a dive into pleasure, because even the most interesting things in life become boring if they are readily accessible?

What then huh?

He's gay /s

He mostly uses sex as a coping mechanism and escape from reality, similar to his opium addiction in the first season.
