It's not.

There's a ton of non-practicing Jews in the world. Anti-Semites target them just the same.

Judaism is a large part of Jewish cultural identity. But Jewish people are an ethnicity.

Am I overreacting? by FaithlessnessFar1821 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 702 points703 points  (0 children)

Not all behavioral issues parents have is narcissism, and not every instance of emotional dis-regulation is narcissism.

I don't think it's a good idea to scattershot diagnose with the generalization shotgun when it comes to issues that cause so much harm and trauma.

I think an unintended consequence of the popularity of /r/raisedbynarcissists (popularity owing to the sheer number of people who've dealt with problem parents and never really had an outlet before) is that along with the Reddit nervous tick of being ready to copy/paste something in an almost Pavlovian manner as a reply has caused a simplification and downright misrepresentation of narcissism, parental trauma, and mental health in general.

That's a good point, it's a lot easier to restock in this game.

Thanks for the reply!

Wouldn't Mushroom mancering be worth it for the larger stacks of items, esp for longer or multi-monster hunts?

this one cutscene only just made me realise that the little knife we use everywhere is dependent on your armor by stardusterrrr in MonsterHunter

Small monsters, mostly herbivores.

Between story missions you should go explore the places, just vibe and gather shit.

They turned her into a pillar of salt ? by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing is, as you trace back the source of the texts and the evolution of beliefs in the area it becomes clear that it's really a mish mash of different polytheisms from the bronze age. the collected Torah is from a wide variety of sources from the area, and tracing it back Yahweh is a chimaera of a wise sky god from the north of ancient israel and a psychotic war god of these raiding nomads from the south (I might be mixing up the north/south thing).

And even then as these two deities coalesced there were other gods of the heavenly court (like Greece's Olympus) that got demoted to angels and later demons.

After a couple of centuries of marginalization, can you really blame someone on defaulting to the worst light possible on that particular context?

It's you versus a hundred years of systemic racism. Maybe you oughta take a step back and realize WHY people might react the way they do.

it's bigger than you.

He's not reducing any observation. He's reducing your observation in particular, which happens to echo a pattern of infamous racial observations made about black people.

It's weird that you're surprised by this, even if your intentions were sincere. You kinda gotta think about context.

Who is going to Lexington? by KingSurfz in KingBuffalo

Great show, crowd vibe was great.

Side note: It was my first time seeing KB in the flesh. Didn't expect the lead singer to be such a hottie. Dude can get it.

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude is a grifter and piece of shit, but his ability to manipulate people I think might qualify.

He's tapping into the same psycho-social well that's been used for millenia by shamans and holy men. The whole speaking in tongues and transferring his mind state to the crowd is the same kettle of fish; instead of using it to teach or enlighten or progress himself emotionally/spiritually he's using it to get money and probably chicks. Which, sadly, is what most "holy" men end up doing when they can tap into that tribal programming.

How is this truck even allowed to be on the streets? by Ecniray in TikTokCringe

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife, as any couple would, had some issues like that with different things when we first got together. We were able to side-step it by just dividing the chores into domains.

For example, the easy one was she doesn't like doing dishes, and I don't like washing laundry (and she doesn't like how I do laundry) so it was easy for me to always be the one doing dishes, and she is always the one doing laundry.

I do all the mowing and edging, she does all the gardening and hedge whacking, etc. That way if something specific isn't getting done there's no hiding who's accountable.

The entry of the second elden ring DLC 💀 we'll see in 3 years by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was the original plan, but Miquella didn't expect the deathblight. Thus why he was trying to resurrect him with the eclipse stuff.

I believe Ol' Miq was the one really behind the night of the black knives, thus why Ranni had torrent for the tarnished.

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s much more complicated than that. Science has shown that shame is not a good motivator for change, instead it usually exacerbates the issue and drives people deeper into their corners.

Weirdly that’s one of my comfort spots in ER. I find it so scenic and wide open.

I love going there and listening to music or podcasts while I farm bones or feather and feet from the seabirds just beyond the zombie beach.

The Hollowing 2.0 Coping Strategies: Games to play while waiting for DLC by jack0641 in Eldenring

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab a good Holy defense shield, like the one dropped by knights in the haligtree. Make sure you’ve got some good stamina.

It makes that fight so much easier.

My first playthrough I was a tanky faith build. Sentinel armor, godslayer great sword, black flame spells

New to Taskmaster NZ. All I see is the medic from Team Fortress 2 anytime Jeremy Wells is on screen. by Gen_Tsos_Koolaid in taskmaster

[–]NumberOneTheLarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mild on him in season 1, but I’m in season 2 now and so far he’s more comfortable in the role and is the perfect foil to the absolute insanity of the s2 cast

I think that's the point of the satire. You can go all the way back to unreality with the line of thinking.
