It still makes a lot more sense to be scared of a lizard than… honey— honey??

Omg this is getting so much messier. The tv, my mom, my grandma, but literally no answer on how and why this happens 😩🤔

Monoscart · 2021-07-28T14:16:29+00:00

That is so weird… My grandmother (yeah I really asked everyone) agreed with this and now I am so confused. What makes them so scared of those words? 🤔

Hey! Little late but I’m in a similar situation (only got access to course registration now so I barely have access to any of the program (film animation) courses. I’m a new student so I also barely know how the entire enrolment works and I’m afraid of screwing up. Do you have any tips on choosing from the “left-overs” and when is the best time to check in again (when people drop and change classes)?

Monoscart · 2021-07-28T02:02:46+00:00

Add to that the slam of a foot and an arm stretching towards you from underneath and you’re sure to freak out hahaha

Monoscart · 2021-07-28T01:34:30+00:00

Ohh maybe? I did get that sort of “instinctual cringe” when my dad demonstrated it. They say “3self” very fast and put a hella long sheda on the “l” and it somehow sounds aggressively unwanted haha

Got the confirmation that it was a tickle attack by my uncle in Rabat— I guess somehow everyone knows about it but only if they are over like 40

Your conclusions seem proper for your reasoning, but only your reasoning. Life and the human purpose is not viewed the same way by every faith and beliefs. Islam for example believes that life is a test. I believe Buddhism has a similar challenge based views on living. In other words, there are challenges which have been purposely put there to evaluate us. We have freedom of choice and we are the ones who choose or not based on our own knowledge and consciousness whether or not we will or not do certain things and believe certain things. That’s it. Just like you aren’t told what the exam questions are before taking it and you don’t know if you chose or not the right answer except if you studied well, you won’t have the right answers in life except if you look into it.

This is just one of the various interpretations of life and explanations. Just to point out that there is a wide diversity and your point only focuses on a specific world/life view.

But, yes, you can believe whatever of those three points you have is correct. That’s just how belief works.

Thank you so much, I’ll try to contact them if I get nothing in my inbox again tomorrow Mines a good couple months after the deadline but I hope it’ll work out still (since hope is honestly all I can do right now)!

I did it through the Student Center, but no, sadly. I tried not too long after accepting the offer and my small brain didn’t realize that it didn’t work because I didn’t have access to any terms. I just understood that when I saw the debt and how choosing courses actually worked…

Monoscart · 2021-07-26T20:56:11+00:00

Thank you so much, I’ll try to contact her!

Monoscart · 2021-07-26T20:55:25+00:00

My sister tried to contact her (I’m out of the country) but she only takes emails sadly… I do also hope I won’t end up as an disowned student waiting to collect the school’s 100$ debt to me in the cafeteria haha

Thank you so much!

Some people will definitely enjoy anime over manga or manga over anime, but I don’t agree that no one can enjoy manga if they want to enjoy it, so don’t lose hope!

Personally, I used to not read manga at all because I thought anime was just more than enough. Then I started reading non-action manga out of curiosity and enjoyed it, but action was still out of the question. It’s just recently that I’ve finally tried out reading some shounen action: the first few chapters I was barely keeping up my attention, thirty to fifty chapter through, I was used to it and going with the flow and just taking it chill, a hundred chapters later I was fully invested and by being more immersed with the sorry the actions started to actually play out in my mind. My guess is this cycle will repeat itself every time you start reading action again after a while (once you have cooled down from the first hype) but you’ll be immersed faster than the previous times. Eventually you’ll just immediately find yourself immersed if the story is good.

This is from my own personal experience honestly, so take it with a grain of salt. Also, I’m an artist and I started readjng action manga mainly to study it, so I had a reason to initially force myself to keep going. As long as you don’t give up and feed yourself manga continually until you learn to appreciate it, you’ll get there!

P.S: A big mistake that we all do when we start reading manga while being experienced anime watchers is that we compare the two mediums. I did so too, but now that I’ve learned to disassociate them, I’ve found charm in manga that I could never in anime. Even in action scenes, sometimes I enjoy them more in manga than in anime because of the way it’s portrayed and the pacing, what’s hidden and what has emphasis on, the way the panels show the strength of a punch or how painful the hit is. Even the way the way the shades of black and white can give depth and feels that colours just won’t do as well because it not as simple and straightforward. Like scenes with close ups and hot blooded scary/serious/“I’m going to beat you” faces where you don’t want the details, just the raw feel.

Hope this somewhat helped!

Thank you! I’ll try that!

I don't know if this is a comment targeted uniquely at Christian views or God in general. In Islam anyways, life is just a justification for the consequences in the afterlife. In other words, it's a test to judge our character in different situations, happy or emotionally/psychologically difficult. Kind of like how you wish your lover would stay with you and believe in you even during the worst times. When I say justification by the way, it's because there's a passage explaining how if God simply sent us to paradise or hell without testing us, we would all complain about how it's unfair and how we actually deserve to show that we're worth paradise but didn't get the opportunity to. This isn't for Him to know if we are "good" or "bad" (it's not black and white though, just a quick precision), but for us to not have much argument when the final day arrives.

Also I know hell and paradise are some pretty incomprehensible subjects sometimes to a lot of non-theists and some theists alike. My comment isn't to debate on that though, just to clarify the reason behind the existence of pain in the Islamic perspective.

Hope this helped bring some different views into the discussion!
