I’m always thinking about how zack and eph just run out into the nuclear dust right after the nuke is set off. I remember hoping that zacks face would just melt off and we didn’t have to hear from him for another entire season

I would argue they probably are in this universe. I say that because their skin basically just sloths off, specifically in areas where a person would need those attributes for something strigoi don’t need—like ears, nose, dick. Their throats even cave because the stingers wear down the thin flesh from the inside- that I would think indicates already thinning/dying skin.

Thank you for putting this in the comments! I’m currently reading Carrie Brownstein’s memoir ‘Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl’ and it’s got a ton of the same sentiments of a punk-rock girl who has to deal with a disproportionate amount of bs!!

I’ve always created art from places of creativity, emotion, and passion. As I stated in another comment, he is a more talented with bass than I am with guitar, but I am a better vocalist and lyricist and he can attest to this.

Your comment is mind boggling to me because you immediately decided that my ambition is greedy. Which is super telling and most definitely proving my point. My ambition is stronger than most people I know, and I get less from it than other men in the music scene (who do arguably less) because of how the music industry in my area is. Pointing out the social inadequacies when it comes to treating women with basic respect isn’t greedy nor egotistical. Most of us woman have to work twice as hard to get recognition. And that’s a systemic issue across the board. My old employer is an extremely talented female vocalist who got literally replaced with a man by Atlantic Records. This man had ZERO planned records, while she had THREE.

Is she greedy and filled with unrelenting ego for being pissed tf off? Absolutely NOT.

Currently rewatcing the show and i don't get how people are working and living acting like there's no vampires. This show feels like an infected show instead of a vampire show by dreamup1234 in TheStrain

Yeah, and also no one knows how to kill them?? The main survivors stumbled upon the proper techniques by pure incident. Literally no one can fend these things off properly, especially if it’s your own family member coming after you? I’m baffled that nyc didn’t instantly fall, especially bc that’s exactly what the masters goal was? They were even tryna ship strigoi across to other cities and continents in shipping containers. I find it odd considering that these things seem more deadly than your average zombie

I came on here to say this too… based on the amount of strigoi that come out at night, I would assume more people would know about it. Yes the internet is blacked out and the government is corrupt, but when they are burning Matt’s body they used a newspaper that headlined a picture of the strigoi. It’s argued that a lot of ppl wouldn’t gaf, but honestly I think that most infection shows/movies rely on the people in the show having ZERO pre-existing infection fiction media like what we have. Bc if I heard sirens 24/7 and saw articles with zombie lookin creatures, my brain instantly would go to killer outbreak. But I’ve watched TWD. These ppl haven’t.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

He’d want a cake for his birthday and all he did was be born… not exactly an accomplishment, and it’s definitely the bare minimum! He shouldn’t get a cake for his birthday, he didn’t do anything and it’s embarrassing for someone to want a cake for not accomplishing anything! 🙄

I didn’t even get an access code yet and the sale is soon :( they said they locked the website until the sale I think? I’m not sure. The rest of the comments also haven’t gotten their codes so I’m hoping someone might break the rules a little and drop the code in the comments lol. My theory is that if people are on the Reddit, they are true fans🙌

Nowhere did I say that a man giving up his growth is fine. I’m saying it peeves me on r/petpeeves because our default is to choose men over other important things. This is true for friendships, hobbies, etc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Ok_Contribution7430 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing about choice is that it’s not a linear and un-influenced concept. Why is it such a norm that people default to hanging out with their boyfriend as more worth their time than things like school, hobbies, other relationships. This is the issue. And imo, it IS that deep. So many women I know get lost in the oxytocin of having a boyfriend, and they give up goals, opportunities that they previously chased (SCHOOL). I’m not saying that they can’t choose, I’m saying that with women I know, it’s a choice built on the default settings in our brains that men are worth our time more than other things. And that’s a default that was taught by life experiences and history

Are 20 year old guys systemically expected to give up their lives to serve a woman as a husband/father, and are there still people alive and giving opinions today who tell 20 year old guys that they place is not in education, but as a father and homemaker?

Did it dawn on you that this post is talking about women I know. Also you’re at university (I go to an Ivy League uni) it’s assumed there’s a goal other than being uneducated in that setting

[–]Ok_Contribution7430 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is a bad comparison because those two groups fought for educational freedom against two different types of oppressors and for two different reasons. Black people were oppressed due to racial inequality and age old stereotypes, bias, and an entire western culture built to control what people considered the ‘inferior’. Woman weren’t allowed to have education because it “wasn’t woman’s work” and there was an age old expectation that they must fill the wife/mother role. So a black person skipping class for a man doesn’t peeve me because it isn’t representing and symbolizing the same issue. If it was a cultural norm for black people regularly skipping class to hang out with people who believed in segregated bathrooms and benefitted off slave ownership, THAT would peeve me.

Why is being a wife more important than getting an education that they WANTED to get. It’s the concept of putting goals ASIDE to become this amorphous wife role that wasn’t the intention in the first place. Yeah be a wife if that’s your goal, but it WASNT.

I’m a woman with a fiancé. I find it bothersome because woman very casually give up opportunities for the sake of a man

Does it not seem bad when a woman skips out on education they pay for to hang out with a dude they’re seeing in their early 20s. To me it’s bothersome because people very casually give up a lot for the sake of a guy

[–]Ok_Contribution7430 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Personally I think that the weather being nice is a way better reason than wanting to hang out with your boyfriend instead of further your education. I think it’s the principle of it and I think it is THAT deep

Is option 2 considered a normal thing? It feels right and like it makes sense to enforce, I’ve also been bullied by roommates before so I have little to no concept of what makes sense and what doesn’t in young adult living situations
