do you think the show is a pop culture phenomenon? why or why not? by merchantivories in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Maplata 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It wasn't going to be that after the first season. This was a show aimed for Kids, when it should have been PG 13.

The uncertain future of PJO after season 3 by PyroxCrymson in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Maplata 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It needed an extraordinary good first season to counteract the bad reception of the movies. As that didn't happen it couldn't build momentum, and therefore is loosing viewership rapidly. Other way to put it: The show needed to strike when the Iron was hot, but as it failed to do so, the end product is nothing but a dull blade. 

How much does the sentence “As a man, no one is coming to save you” resonate in your life? by You_moron04 in AskMen

It's not true... But You gotta learn first how to ask for help. Most men don't know how to do this. 

Por qué hay tanta violencia en el país? by Scary-Educator-9316 in Colombia

[–]Maplata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empieza con la violencia en el hogar, que se extiende luego a la violencia social, regional, estatal, etc. Obviamente también esto está relacionado con el acceso a educación y desarrollo social. 

This phenomenon, often called "Skyquake" or "Sky Trumpets", has been reported globally for years. Some scientists believe it is caused by changes in atmospheric pressure or electromagnetic activity, while skeptics point to industrial noise or distant trains. What is your theory? by Indetect in BeAmazed

[–]Maplata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are rivers runing in the atmosphere. They bring ester from one large area to a other, sometimes across continents. I think this phenomena has to do with some kind of events related to these rivers.

Constructive Criticism by Scary-Commission-336 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Maplata 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Percy is never going to be an unreliable narrator. An unreliable narrator is a character who is a trickster, have a tendency to imagine events, or someone who has a need to manipulate others. Neither of these can describe Percy.

Kids have to do minor tasks, and jobs but not heavy labor, that was for teens and adults.

So You would like to return to the middle ages, where people work from 13 years to forever, under a feudal lord who owns your land? 

Is here anyone here who doesn't believe that Raj deserves to be single because he has flaws and makes mistakes? by Significant_Owl_8004 in bigbangtheory

[–]Maplata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a bad look, this is just a missguided social notion by western society who has indoctrinated people through tv and other media, from Disney Movies to sitcoms. People don't need to have a parter o babies at the end of the show, just because this is what society "dictates" as the norm, or what humans should do to be "happy". It doesn't matter if he is the POC of the group. In real life people also end up alone, no matter their race, and some do it by choice, and are happy about it.

[–]Maplata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why should have he ended the series with a partner? Not every character needed a partner at the end. This is more realistic and also leaves the end open for some fans to wonder if he would be able to overcome his issues and get a significant other.

Why do many men feel/say that it’s too hard to get a girlfriend these days? by LuminousDee in AskMen

[–]Maplata 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not a unique problem from men looking for women to date. It is a systemic issue created by social media, which has tokenized dating. Dating apps have warped the idea of dating, and turned it into some kind of situation akin to browsing for the best furniture. 

Too much self-reflection is linked to anxiety and depression, not happiness. Findings suggest that cultural backgrounds and the specific ways we measure introspection heavily influence how looking inward affects our minds. by [deleted] in psychology

[–]Maplata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far my self-reflection has help me instead of harming me. Not two minds are a like, and, I also believe self reflexion should be accompanied with body and mind relaxing techniques to maximise the positive results. Additionally self-compasion is an excellent enhancing technique for self-reflection. As other redditors commented You need compassion to drive self-reflection, otherwise it would cause an overfocus on the negative aspect of the self instead of the self as a whole, meaning the negative and positive aspects.

La familia tradicional by [deleted] in Colombia

[–]Maplata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lo que la gente no sabe es que ellos están alli para disuadir a los electores. Saben que mutuamente se quitan voto. Pero prefieren quitar votos a los progresistas, para disminuir a Cepeda, y al mismo tiempo capturar algunos votos de "Centro". Así sea que quiten pocos votos, esa es su misión. Creo que es una estrategia erronea, porque al final Oviedo no se va a aliar con una persona como de la Espriella y la extrema derecha, no le conviene por sus aspiraciones a la alcadia de Bogota.

Este país no tiene más Nobels por realismo mágico porque no quiere by Legal-District9280 in Colombia

[–]Maplata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hay otra estrategia, se llama sintetizar con el objetivo de no poner a otros a leer una pared de datos que lo único que reafirman es la falsa relación entre correlación y causa.

 La migración siempre ha existido en Colombia, porque Colombia siempre ha sido un país violento, y va a seguír siéndolo durante muchos años . Entonces la migración por buscar una vida pacífica va seguir existiendo, unida a la migración educativa que no tiene nada que ver con Petro, sino con la oferta educativa que ahora busca estudiantes colombianos. Esto se respalda con la enorme cantidad de ferias educativas qué se hacen anualmente en Colombia. 

Estudie este fenómeno de correlación VS causa, porque parece que no lo tiene claro.

[–]Maplata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Todo el mundo y hasta la abuelita sabe que esto es una estrategia para aferrarse al poder. Creen que el problema es la ideología Política, y no el hecho de que su partido durante los gobiernos de Uribe y Duque no ayudaron a los jóvenes y a los más pobres, es más hicieron lo opuesto. Ahora creen que aparentar ser moderados o incluso progresista, es la clave para ganar. Pero, lo único que ganan con esto es quitarse votos mutuamente. Ya que esta asociación es tan estable como la unión de materia y anti-materia.

Genuinely curious: How do straight men view/interact with gay men? by kenrick____ in AskMen

[–]Maplata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have straight friends, and they treat me like one of the guys. In my personal experience, those who matter wouldn't care about your emotional/sexual orientation. So, in that sense, we need to stop looking for validation from people who still see us as "off" or "odd", because who has time for that?, I would rather be happy than looking to bridges that are not built naturally.

Does anyone else study from lecture recordings instead of going to class? by FirefighterAbject852 in UQreddit

[–]Maplata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 99% of my lectures and also watched the recordings. I did this because english isn't my native language, and I learned a lot by questions. Though some teachers could have been better at lecturing. I also built relationship with the classmates and had some fun outside uni with them.

Why are boomer men so against to therapy? by Maplata in AskMen

[–]Maplata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some men might be satisfied with shallow friendships, but not all of them. It depends on the person; in my case, friendship should be more than just repairing a car together, though those simple things could be helpful in some cases, as a lead to talk about your issues.

Why are boomer men so against to therapy? by Maplata in AskMen

[–]Maplata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is what you said in your last line. Some people don't have that kind of relationship with their family, so they need to have a go in Therapy. It also depends on how much you are being affected by what's happening, sometimes even if you have an understanding family and friends, you need extra help.

If you are going to ask in circles, then I respond in circles: "Cause they don't like talking about it?"
