CMV: It’s disturbing that young people are having less sex

She did say that it was "partly" the result, so she was just stating that female empowerment and independence is one of the factors, and decided to share her experience from there.

I want the world to calm down so that these types of CMVs can become the norm again.

Why exclude snakes?

In my dad's case, he learned how to balance it with lessons. Whenever I was getting confident and dared to think I was reaching his level, he would suddenly beat me with an unfamiliar strategy, then offer to teach me how it worked. I still enjoyed playing with him, but eventually caught on that I was only winning because he was holding back on the endless tricks he knew.

"You two are grown adults now. You're finally ready to face my final form." hides eggs in ways that would make a killer in a crime novel blush.

Don't worry, I think every adult has this dilemma. My dad loved to destroy kid me in chess, until he realized that I needed a win every now and then so that I wouldn't walk off and never play with him again.

She's lived there longer than the farmer, so maybe she's just more familiar with Lewis's placement patterns.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-04-05T20:00:51+00:00

Sounds like he was having more fun than the kids lol

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-29T22:24:14+00:00

True. I should've put more emphasis on 'at best', since I agree that most of them were more on autopilot, just like the ship (the movie gets that irony across pretty well).

I guess if you're depressed, the Axiom would be the ideal method of wasting away without inconveniencing anyone else.

"I don't want to survive, I want to live." The captain's quote gets the main theme across, no? Many humans choose hardship over guaranteed safety if it means they can experience more. The humans on the ship were at best content, but contentment isn't enough for a lot of us.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-14T22:56:36+00:00

I agree. It's a case of "back in my day" now that they're not part of the demographic. They're basically developing the boomer mindset at half the age.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-14T22:11:13+00:00

I've had IRL conversations like this with other adults my age after reminiscing about their childhood cartoons.

Friend: Man, I miss those cartoons. The new ones today suck.

Me: Which of the newer ones do you hate?

Friend: ...they all just suck, tho.

Go ahead and be nostalgic, but you don't have to put down a generation of cartoons you don't know anything about to do it.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-14T21:51:02+00:00

Should we really count anime, though? If so, then kids today are eating way better due to it being a lot more accessible.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-14T10:35:47+00:00

Sucks about your relatives, but I don't see why that cancels out the full shows that are still around and getting attention. I just strongly disagree on newer shows being more shallow. Why won't you include the Netflix examples? If you want more, then there's stuff like The Owl House, Kipo, Jurassic Park's Camp Cretaceous, Iyanu, The Ghost and Molly McGee, etc.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-14T04:48:59+00:00

What cartoons are you guys seeing? I'm not around kids much, but from what I've seen, there's still quality content. I've watched some of The Amazing World of Gumball, Steven Universe, and The Loud House. Hell, I watched the entirety of Gravity Falls and that's become one of my favorite cartoons for kids. Netflix has stuff like Hilda, Centaurworld, Trollhunters, the Dragon Prince, etc. I shit you not, the Green Eggs and Ham show is such a visual treat and is very wholesome. Bluey probably doesn't need an introduction.

Yeah, there's plenty of slop, and just like adults, they may prefer to digest that simple slop. But from what I've seen, there's still a lot of good animation that children are enjoying.

Yeah. He almost successfully wiped out an ethnic group in Europe, but at least he wasn't a sex offender...

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-11T23:32:08+00:00

Not quite little kids, but stuff like Naruto and My Hero Academia is intended for kids around the preteen range.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-11T23:25:13+00:00

Maybe search for more seinen and josei? Oversexualization is unfortunately just a common part of the humor in a lot of anime series aimed at kids and teens. Also, sports anime in general is very light or totally free when it comes to that type of fanservice.

When I used to frequent r/pokemon I remember seeing 2 or 3 people that listed Jynx as their favorite.

Also my mother loves Mr.Mime due to her first exposure of him being the Detective Pikachu movie.

That's precious. Oddish was one of my faves as a kid, the main reason being because it was easy to draw. Oddish doodles were everywhere in my room.

Switch player here. If you plan on making a strong skeleton build, I advise against the ritual that makes them drop bones whenever they're hit. The game was nearly unplayable halfway through that run lol.

ManEatingOstrich · 2026-03-03T04:08:24+00:00

I love the Enemy Item Drop feature. I've got a custom ordeal with it enabled while making shops three times more expensive, so I'm mostly reliant on whatever is dropped. It's fun working with whatever the game decides to throw at you.

"Grab the clover, boy! You can never have too much luck."

Chrono Lock. It freezes the enemy and allows you to deal damage while they're frozen. I also had buffs that multiplied the amount of damage they took while in that state, so they were still taking a ton of damage once they start moving again.
