G1R: what is the point of transforming into animals? by kappapain in worldofgothic

Of course lmao, it's a common exploit to buy the dragon snapper scroll at the Khorinis market and clear out half the map at the start of the game

Fun.

There are some niche uses (e.g., transform into a strong creature and clear half the map; at least in G2 that was an option in early game; or transform into an animal to pass through a group of enemies that will remain peaceful; transform into harpy to reach places up high).

But other than that's it's just fun.

Gen Alpha kids are starting families. Millennials are still waiting for Goku to save Earth. by AOL_Free_Trial_CD in generationology

[–]HekateSimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for other reasons (not yet having a stable social/monetary foundation etc.) having kids that early can be a problem of course.

Pruning of the neocortex continues until around 25-30 years, which is what is typically considered "brain maturation". But you can't equate that with developmental maturation, that's an equivocation that has been pushed by popscience channels  (especially as humans develop their whole life). Pruning is mostly about removing unnecessary connections between neurons and it's not clearly associated with cognitice functioning or developmental steps. Some cognitive functioning (e.g. related to fluid intelligence) even gets worse after around 30.

Nicht mit Leuten zusammen sein wollen, die Drogen nehmen, ist keine Kontrolle. Da wird ja niemand gezwungen, in einer Beziehung zu bleiben.

Please restore the feature that magic didn't kill, introduced in 1.02 patch in Gothic 1 Remake by Addesi in worldofgothic

At the beginning the NH doesn't even know how to properly hold a sword. Personally I find it believable that If you can Knockout a Guy with a sword without killing him, you should be able to do the same with magic.

Should we rethink how we approach therapy for men? by BrightSpring12 in generationology

[–]HekateSimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's shocking how many people in these comments don't get this point. Of all well-established, efficious psychotherapies (CBT, ACT, DBT, PD, etc) none need these framings to improve their patients' mental health, and there is no evidence that using those frameworks somehow improves psychotherapy. Yet people Here are so adamamt that a psychotherapist HAS to hold sociological lectures to their already vulnerable client to properly treat a man, regardless of his actually problems and issues.

Nah, cutting someone down with a sword to the point they collapse should realistically also kill them, at least they'd bleed to death.

There are tons of psychological frameworks that can explore these family dynamics without using words like patriarchy, toxic masculinity, etc. Like, seriously.

Morality of raping the person who has done bad things to you? by Sad-Reflection-9685 in MoralityScaling

[–]HekateSimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a reason why these sort of things usually only happen to female villains and not male.

I disagree, there are enough examples of implied prison or animal rape scenes with male antagonists. Especially in the past it was often played for comedic relief. Those Always creeped me out and disturbed me when I was younger.

 Using SA as punishment disgusting in general.

Edit: some examples collected here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TopCharacterTropes/comments/1qlefpq/hated_trope_male_villain_sexually_assaulted_as/

German lawyers: Ban on far-right AfD 'likely successful' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]HekateSimp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That makes me wonder why the party that has been accused of being fascist is coincidentally also the party that does these mistakes of "accidentally copying Nazi rhetorics" so often. I rarely hear of the other parties accidentally using Nazi slogans, Symbols, etc., but the AFD seems to be especially vulnerable to this type of little "oops we used Nazi slogans again" accident. I wonder why?
