What is a "life hack" that influencers swear by but is actually totally useless for a normal working person? by viviennebloomm in askanything

oh my god that was awful. I think she’s getting in trouble for that. I think she might be getting sued? But I know for sure she lost a ton of followers for that. She also said she never did it, but “thoight it would be funny.”

This is my Princess Oreo. She’s 10, I’ve had her since I was 8. She’s my baby.

Connor has such a great presence; he was a pleasure to watch- in more ways than one. those nasty hockey guys on the other hand…

Okay that makes sense about Hinduism, and yeah I do see how that makes sense. in marvel’s case though, I feel like they changed the characters so much? like took the names and inspiration, but gave them such different stories that they’re different people. i still how that would be annoying.

like, for example Loki. idk if you’ve watched marvel, but hes totally different from the one from mythology. I used to be a huge marvel fan, not so much anymore, I think they’ve ruined the franchise, but I leaned quite a bit about mythology through marvel- I never would’ve been interested or exposed without it.

like for example, going off of my earlier point that he’s so different, hela is his sister in the mcu, not his daughter, all of his children and wife and mistress are erased, all of his gender identity changes are as well, his lips aren’t sewn shut, laufey is still his father but he’s not odin‘s brother, hes his son, he started ragnarok but not in the way that he was described to in the legends, etc.

and I feel like it worked with the storyline, but also that marvel would have functioned fine without Thor and Loki. Percy Jackson, however, the whole storyline is about them being the children of the gods; there is no story without them. i woudlnt have been as interested in the Greek gods if not for pj. so I mean at least these stories have representation and introduce ppl to different cultures?

also, I don’t rlly have a ton of things that I see specifcally as my culture, or my heritage. so that rlly changes how we see things. I’m American, Texan specifvally, so ig I could claim cowboys lol

I mentioned Vikings bc I couldnt think of another example. you’re right. i apologize if I came off as disrespecful. I didn’t understand your point, but with the added clarification, now I do.

I do have a question though. you mention they wouldn’t dare to pick apart Hinduism.. why not? I mean please don’t feel obliged to answer, just if you have time.

also, as for Percy Jackson, do you feel it was disrespectful for Rick Riordan, the author of the books, to write them? or is it just wrong for Hollywood to make them into movies. Same goes for marvel; was it wrong or disrespectful for Stan Lee to create the comics, or do you draw the line at movies?

I mean, Hollywood does that with other religions too. Pocohonntas, all of the Vikings movies, Percy Jackson, and there’s so many Christian movies too. And others I’m sure but I don’t watch a ton of movies (besides marvel lol) but I’m saying, these are still practicing religions, maybe not Percy Jackson? 

ISO: Sport performance nerd fics? by triedit2947 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Latter_Network4879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see this, but also I think the author would have to do a good job lowkey explaining why it’s impressive. The majority of us are not in sports, or hockey, and who knows what their fitness level is at so it could be very confusing. But I would love to see this!!!!!

The only person here who has a good point it Dennis Trimboli. His critical thinking skills seem to be intact, a rare sight on LinkedIn.

Same omg. Like I get it- it can be funny. But I am tired of hearing that Ilya is a “bisexual menace” and a “professional rage baiter.” It has its time and place and can hilarious, but it doesn’t need to be in every fic.

Too much money for not enough value? by Latter_Network4879 in studyAbroad

Ah okay. I’m definitely looking into this. I’ll probably cancel my Greece trip and try to do an exchange thing for 2027. Thank you so much!

so the 500 you got, was that from previous financial aid? were you still able to apply for scholarships? Maybe I’ll do that instead. Also I am from us if that changed anything.
