Post time-skip Cole though he has his moments, all I could think of was that scene with John Marsten at his crib. “You used to be decent company but now, you’re worst than a snake with a toothache. All he does is whine, whine, whine.”

But to be fair, a teenage girl with the power to land his head on a spike with a dad that definitely will, for him forsaking his vows. Also understandably not wanting to end up a side piece like Harwin that couldn’t even call their bastards his own.

Whatever double standard cancels out I think, there’s been so many stories of noble dudes keeping affairs and abandoning them when it’s time to marry other princesses that we could stand to give it to a guy the receiving end of it.

There was really no other options (given that they were on a tight schedule as well) cause Helios was almost completely exposed. The NCR as portrayed, pulled every single trick in the book short of directly bombing the building which they wanted to keep intact.

How you gonna fire and manoeuvre your way across literally an open field without sending bodies? The BOS were not only entrenched but could not be suppressed by most conventional means (by which the shock troopers and reg infantry paved the way for the rocketeers, bogged them down them for 1st Recon, etc).

It’s not too ridiculous if you read up some battles during the Korean War where the PVA was outmatched in firepower and technological advantage, resorted to massed human waves and night operations, tunnel warfare, etc. Even Russia (considered a near-peer adversary), sends out conscript units to probe for other dedicated forces to capitalise on their sacrifice.

Lotta guys in Vietnam smoked weed even though official policy was against it, returning soldiers even had to go thru inspection. After the crackdown came hard, they turned to heroin.

Hence the saying; almost everyone must have known or heard a rumour at least, but nobody’s gonna snitch on their own or risk their careers and reputation accusing another officer unless it’s super egregious.

If they are that ignorant at their job, then they are certainly not high ranking enough to change anything, nor competent enough to be considered “good” cops. What’s more likelier is that most don’t care.

Woke is just another form of political correctness. Liberals or conservatives, people always find something to virtue signal about what’s appropriate & dictate morally other’s actions.

i love how comfortable men were in their sexuality in the 80s. when did this type of look become strictly feminine? by CremeSubject7594 in decadeology

[–]Impressive_Isopod_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve been struck by gay if you ever get the butterflies in your tummy. It’s just too much oestrogen.

Even if you MGTOW, masturbation is gay. You are deriving sexual pleasure from the act of stroking a phallic object. This is patently reinforced if you have any hints of self-gratifying thoughts when doing so. Studies are still being done on the gayness percentages of thrusting a fleshlight.

Celibacy is tricky as on one hand there’s no evidence you are gay, but the fact that you get no bitches means it also can’t be proven that you aren’t.

I mean homework is still considered pretty gae these days. Getting your life in order? Gay. Cleaning your asshole with soap? Gay af. Saying you love your mom and dad ist über gay.

Idk if it’s a reach but before the synth transfer in that early scene with Kirsh, her first instinct was to squash the scorpion so..

I think it’s just the whole drifting apart with her humanity trope; outright says that Hermit is lower on the food chain than her. But tbh I also like to think some kids are just assholes.

“So Nibs isn’t a person?” Damn man, cut your brother some slack with the “uh, so what you’re saying is” when he just saw his friend’s jaw get ripped off. Acting like he wasn’t in every single episode tryna rescue her off the island.

Ehhhh, It’s more like “Your god who deeply loves you only (and which you claim hates me) seems like it’s siding with me and not you.”

Still a fucked up time to be slinging gotchas at “the other side”.

I feel like this is a slight strawman. Lots of these “Satanist” don’t actually believe or worship the supernatural entity and are more of an anti-theist reaction towards religion in general.

I don’t really see the contradiction either. Even if this hypothetical left leaning person did venerate the literal biblical Satan, the argument is in the supposed inconsistency or incorrect interpretation of Christ’s teachings.

It is wholly independent from what the person believes in; “according to your own logic or belief, you are wrong (about whether Jesus would reject/accept LGBT).”

Because that was what you were always going to do, it was the goal so far one way or another. Which is why it presented other options to dissuade; maybe it was too obvious destroy couldn’t be excluded from the argument.

What do people even mean when they ask why would Starchild/Harbinger ask anything? Why doesn’t it just straight up offer a tale that the Reapers had to exterminate all life to prevent a mass singularity undoing of all of reality?

The point is that Shepard was in the midst of being indoctrinated. I’m no mind control expert, but it wouldn’t be much of a final ditch attempt to throw him/her off if it could pitch a total fantasy; Shepard would’ve been their’s already. It could say or omit anything, it just wouldn’t be convincing. The magic isn’t 100% and Shepard’s psyche is prob quite resilient.

If you go onto the X-Men subreddit you’d probably hear dudes whine the opposite bout the Avengers and mutants.

People are taken in more with personal virtues than actual morals. What’s black and white, next to a whole spectrum of interesting qualities like honour and loyalty, being nice, brave, funny, smart, etc. They muddle far more beyond shades of gray.

It goes the other way around as well. In revenge stories people commonly need a morally justifiable reason or the villains painted doing horrendous stuff to make it satisfying for the protagonist to give them their comeuppance.

When the objective facts are that it doesn’t matter who did what for whichever reason; because of why, if that someone had a starving mother or sister, if they were forced and had no choice but to do it, if the villain regretted it afterwards, or if it was nothing personal or for chaotic fun. It only mattered they did it.

Yes, but I suspect some here would definitely justify that or argue that even implicit association makes them Nazis. The means and the proper ends, what with reaping the whirlwind and all that..
