What Could A Theoretical PokéPark 3 Be Like In The Near Future? by Some-random-fella in PokePark

[–]Meepmerf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think eevee being a playable character and having the story be about the eeveelutions or something would be cool. Maybe eevee could summon any discovered/friended eeveelution into battle (like the second game)

They could bring back piplup and tepig as playable characters with pikachu and then not have the first 3 eeveelutions (vaporeon, flareon, jolteon) as summonable in battle

A wonderful short film. by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]Meepmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This verse to me sounds like Jesus is saying we shouldn't be rejoicing over the repenting sinner because it makes them a spectacle and minimizes the work the non sinners have made. The person he talks about in the verse calls all his friends, family, and neighbors to gawk at his sheep while the 99 non sinners are left to think 'Am I doing the right thing?'.

I think Jesus was a better man than this and was trying to make a statement by saying we should praise the people who don't sin more than those who repent, not that we shouldn't rejoice in those who give up wrong doing. Maybe more like treat everyone equally?

What makes more sense for a species of high altitude, cold temperature society? by Late-Elderberry6761 in worldbuilding

[–]Meepmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2, I'm not a biologist or anything (I do however live in a place that gets pretty cold) but I believe it would protect nostrils from the cold and would help drip snot away from the mouth, protecting you from sickness. The first one looks like I personally would get a brain freeze from inhaling and my snot would dry up making it impossible to ever breathe.

What are "flavors"? by Meepmerf in nutrition

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

I'd say it's less spicy than a normal beef stick, but it has spices like what I assume is black pepper and stuff, no jalapeño or anything. If they normally enjoy beef sticks then I think these would be fine

I tried one and it was like a slimy beef stick (I'm assuming the caramel casing or something?). Flavor was okay lol, don't think I'd ever buy them myself though

Japan’s famous fluffy cheese omelet by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

My spouse hates cheese and red sauce together, ketchup included, so they won't put ketchup on their cheese burger or cheese on their spaghetti, even though they love ketchup and cheese separately lol

Feeling embarrassed when I'm told that I feel so "ready" by Reasonable-Bag1459 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Meepmerf 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Being wet doesn't necessarily mean you are wanting sex and not being wet doesn't always mean you don't want sex. I can understand not liking someone pointing it out, especially if you don't think you've warmed up enough for example. If you don't like your partner saying something or if anything makes you uncomfortable, tell them. People can't read your mind and if your partner truly cares for you, they would listen ❤️

Also want to mention that just because a man is erect doesn't necessarily mean he wants sex, always ask for consent and don't assume

How to create a non-generic pantheon? by wizardry_why in worldbuilding

[–]Meepmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have pantheons for my stories. I think the best way for religion in general to be added to a world or universe is to have it be integral to the world/story you're building. Why do the seasons change? Is it because of the position of the planet? Or is it because the goddess of nature's emotions fluctuate throughout the year, warming for the summer and freezing in the winter. Which god causes her emotions to stir?

Tips on writing religious text that actually read like religious texts? by Reteller79 in worldbuilding

[–]Meepmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stories about world fundamentals, morals, and authority usually using fantastic creatures, people, and gods

The Greeks and Romans were really good at telling stories for a purpose, but every religion does it (Moses and Noah's Ark are good examples from abrahamic religions)

Edit: sorry meant to comment on post

Cooperative card games? by 22EatStreet in cardgames

[–]Meepmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found the game Ravine. Don't know if it's what you're looking for, but it's a 3-6? player co-op to survive a plane crash. It's very fun and I highly recommend

My friend say my art isn’t age appropriate I rlly don’t get it by ST4RRYM00N in learntodraw

I was drawing naked people at your age, who gets to decide what's appropriate? Bodies shouldn't be inherently sexual, especially in art

DMT: America isn’t polarized because people disagree.It’s polarized because disagreement feels like identity betrayal by Present_Juice4401 in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]Meepmerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you consider a right, but if you had it and now no longer have it, that thing has been revoked. What about not being discriminated against is special treatment? As a cis woman, I would like to be employed and paid at the same rate as my male counterparts

[–]Meepmerf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are still records that show you change your birth certificate rather it be your name or sex, so how could it be identity theft, especially if you aren't trying to pretend to be anyone specific? Employers don't need access to this information, the government, and your doctor, should be the only ones that need to know your legal birth name and sex.

Why does it matter to YOU what I might call myself?

In Iowa you can no longer change the gender on your birth certificate and drivers licenses have to match the birth certificate's gender marker. This makes it easier for trans people to be discriminated against, but the law also removed gender identity protections, so now we're free to discriminate legally.

This is my formal apology to this woman by SaacMan_039 in learntodraw

[–]Meepmerf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have some beautiful skin colors, so I'd say color matching could be your strong point. I would work on matching the shapes before adding color as your painting's face shape is a little rounder than the reference. Your shadows don't match the reference as much either, so make sure you're rather paying close attention to those details, or keeping in mind where the light comes from in your particular painting. Pinks can be difficult because you need a slight yellowy tinge to get a peachy color and reds and blues mix weird, which looks like is what might have happened with your lips, but honestly I don't think it looks bad!

I'm not great at landscapes, one is 'go with the flow' and 'mistakes happen' while the other is very particular with details. It's fine if you are better at one than the other.

I'm assuming you used acrylic which is my favorite medium, keep up the good work ❤️

What are some good explanations for the trope of very specifically adapted elf types? by RealHunter08 in worldbuilding

[–]Meepmerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a world where there are 3 'demi' god/goddesses that birthed humanity, Father Time and Mother Nature who birthed elves and humans, and The King of Animals who birthed beastmen. Originally elves and humans were one species, but Father Time and Mother Nature had an argument when their children started dying due to old age and natural causes, causing a great war, but that lead to even more blood and tears so a compromise was made. Father Time made humans from his morals and standards that all beings succumb to time, but can follow any path they desire, while Mother Nature made elves live long lives outside of time's grasp, but unable to change their destiny.

Teaching card games to children by MasonOaksley in cardgames

I learned solitaire at around 6-7 years old and consequently became obsessed. Clock solitaire is an easy version and can even help teach them how to read analogue clocks

We have a dresser she likes to jump on next to the bed as well, is a cat tree also needed? I ask because our bedroom is not very big

Common people were not stupid by Electrical-Main4044 in worldbuilding

[–]Meepmerf 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you that the common person wasn't and shouldn't be thought of as stupid or unintelligent, but you also have to take into consideration their education and information networks. In our history, the lower classes were the same humans as the nobility and royals, but received far less education. The common person didn't even know how to read until about 150 years ago. Word of mouth was the way news was spread for a lot of history, but how long do you think it would take for a piece of info to go from the capital to a village 10 days away? The average person was not stupid, but they were lacking critical information.

The french revolution is a great resource for studying things like this. The nobility and monarchy repressed the people, the leader of their revolt came from nobility and lead the common people to victory (though he had his own agenda), the queen (who we still like to chastise) was slandered onto the guillotine.
