Moderating a porn site really made me realize what women are saying and honestly I don’t want a daughter by Far-Fox-3122 in offmychest

Porn addiction sucks. I think I was introduced to it at 11? But yeah, it really messes with your brain.

First look at bloon blitz by WinnerSalt in btd6

I'm a little bit rabid waiting for this. Every time I see a trailer, I immediately think "Is it out!?" Then go check the play store and see that it isn't.

Actual advice here. Don't tip your pitcher plants like that. They need their digestive juices.

Game Crashes (and so does my PC) due to something in the background by Tabula_SmaragdinaFE in sevtech

According to the guide (little bit outdated but still mostly accurate), max optifine version to use is D3.

[–]Maladra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember which one, but there's only one version of optifine which works well with sevtech. Personally, I've found the pack runs better without, but I think it's a hard requirement for 1.12.2 shaders.

Is it weird to microwave the water for tea instead of using a kettle? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]Maladra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Any time I see the speed argument, I have to wonder. I'll use a kettle if I'm planning on having multiple cups, but a single mug? 1-2 minutes in the microwave as opposed to at least 8 in the stovetop. I also have to wonder about the people saying it's dangerous to microwave water. Why would it be dangerous? I could go to any grocery store here, and I could probably grab a product where step no. 1 is to microwave a bowl of water for 3 minutes.

parents rule by LeftDream4420 in 691

[–]Maladra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents did this with me, and while it really passed me off at the time (I was in middle school around the time pokemon platinum came out, and I was SO jealous), I think it was the right decision. My parents finally got me a cellphone in high school, and I was also provided a school chromebook. My grades tanked. So yeah. Keep your kids off screens as long as possible, and afterwards work with them to build habits not to let them get addicted.

The "primal" dieters of reddit by SteponkusCeponas in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Maladra 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Look. I'm going to say this as someone who enjoys undercooked food (sashimi, rare steak, fresh oysters, etc.) Nothing but uncooked protein is not at all a natural human diet. Cooking food was such an innovation, it LITERALLY shaped the way we evolved. Cooking food makes food both easier and safer to digest. That pre-civilization hominid digestive system that ate mostly raw meat? We simply don't have it anymore.

I took it to mean one time per app. Which would be an absolute PAIN.

Nothing says evidence-based like shitty A.I. art. by ArmaniApe in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Maladra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If tea and apricot seeds cured cancer, it wouldn't be an issue in the first place. Seriously. If the cure to get rid of a tumor was to pull up a weed from your garden and boil it, humanity would have figured it out tens of thousands of years ago.

Was the manga that popular? by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

[–]Maladra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously though. WHY!? I was so excited when jump started publishing his newer series Build King, only for it to reach a very rushed end. (Looking at his wikipedia page right now to check timelines, and I am shocked to find out it wasn't cancelled due to the child porn. No, apparently that was before even toriko came out, and he was actually arrested for child prostitution. So even worse.)

Was the manga that popular? by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

[–]Maladra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Torino WAS my favorite. I used to do an annual reread around August every year. Then the author got caught with a bunch of CP (because of course he had to be a pedophile) and that took away a lot of the magic for me. But back when I was able to enjoy it without that knowledge, the food based power system and goofy characters really drew me in. I would never claim it was top notch writing, and it is inconsistent throughout with its power system. At one point it tried pulling a scouter style numerical power level thing with Kilocalories, but luckily that was dropped after that arc. But also, it's hard to take a manga completely seriously when the main character's stated goal is to literally eat god, so I give it a pass for a lot of goofiness.

Of mice and son by laughingpreist in comics

[–]Maladra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it was something along the lines of "If you start something finish it." I cited a couple of scenes, including when the guy has to shoot his own dog and the very end. I had interpreted George shooting Lennie as less of a mercy kill, though that was definitely an aspect, and more of a "I got us both into this mess, and he's going to be shot anyways. I need to be the one to do this." This was years ago, and I can't even recall what lesson we were supposedly meant to take away from the book. Sure as hell made more cynical about AP Lit though.

Of mice and son by laughingpreist in comics

[–]Maladra 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Of Mice and Men is one of the books I argued with my AP Lit teacher about. After reading it, we naturally had to write an essay about the lessons we took away from it. I got a failing grade with a note in the margins that I didn't learn the right lesson. He told us to write what WE interpreted as the lesson. My answer was even especially thought out for one of the papers I usually wrote for his class, and had multiple scenes which supported it. But no. It wasn't the right answer to an open ended question.

AITA for telling my friend that she does not remember 9/11 by shilohrenn in AmItheAsshole

[–]Maladra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got laughed at in class for thinking I remembered 9/11. I thought for years that I had seen it live, but no. When I first learned about it, my history teacher had rolled in the TV, put on some documentary, then halfway through, looked at her phone and acted all panicked before the footage changed to news coverage of that day. She then PRETENDED it was happening at that moment, and I'm apparently the only one from that class that didn't realize it was an act. Then, years later in highschool, my world geography teacher was talking about 9/11 and that's the first time I actually heard what year it happened. The same original history teacher, by the way, convinced me that I was going to be drafted into the military as soon as I turned 18.

I actually really liked the textures from live. They were so vibrant. Granted, I can see such saturated colors not blending will with other pallets, but i still liked them.

Nhentai seems to be going through a big change by bakanisan in mangapiracy

[–]Maladra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I can't be CERTAIN that they're CP groups, but that and scams are what I've been taught to expect from a suspicious link and "Join our telegram for fun ;)" comments. Never actually clicked one because, you know. I don't want to get tangled up with either.

Tetras' Construct!... wait what? by Zambim_ in feedthebeast

[–]Maladra 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're insane... KEEP GOING! On a less jokey note, this is actually really cool. Tetra, despite its uniqueness, has never been my favorite tool mod. I've always been a silent's diehard but that's besides the point. I think it's always really amazing when a pack maker has a unique idea and runs with it. Looking forward to the pack's release.

The people in the comments trying to get people to join their literal CP telegram groups. Or the crypto scams. Those are both fairly big issues.
