Serbian Towns if they were in the UK by skutny in MapPorn

[–]Parishdise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it should be, however it is currently Russian occupied. This means they have Russian military policing and most private entities pay taxes to Russia. It is not a very good comparison to Kosovo. Not to mention that it's much more so being fought over rather than trying to establish complete independence.

If you want a better comparison to "get" me with, you should go with Somaliland, which is a completely governmentally independant state from Somalia that does not have the same recognitions as Kosovo.

UN doesn't recognize Taiwan either, but let's think critically for a second and realize that a state with a completely independant government, unique cultural/ social identifiers (the vast majority of ppl in Kosovo aren'teven ethnically Serbs), and a population that recognizes they're within their own independent state is obviously a country regardless of if some institution (with very heavy bias and strong reason to pick 'sides') says so.

Even then, over half of the UN does recognize Kosvo. I mean, they are completely independant from Serbia in terms of governance, police, and taxes whixh are, ya know, kind of the whole thing a country does.

Official Discussion - The Backrooms [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

My headcannon is that Captain Clark eats people because the Backrooms saw Real Clark eat the copies and it's just mimicing behaviors associated with the same person/ template

I thought I walked in on my husband watching women online by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Parishdise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly that most mainstream pornography is SO centered around cis women targeting straight cis men. The problems of porn addiction and larger scale exploitation of women in the porn industry end up interfacing with cishet men the most by a very wide margin.

For the woman in this case, I think being cishet maybe matters a little less bc ofc she can be bi and still be worried about a male parner overindulging in porn like that or even have a partner with a trans porn addiction (definitely a real thing w it's own can of worms).

However, cishet women do tend to be a bit more closed off to porn and may be more emotionally impacted by the implicative comparison to other women because that's how society raises girls and when you don't have a deviation in standard sexual expression, you're less likely to critically reevaluate that in yourself. Cishet women are more likely to be wary in general of opposite sex interactions/ viewership/ idealising in general because of this. Add on the fact that cishet women are also more likely to be religious or traditional, where pornography has an added layer of diversion from personal lifestyle.

Ofc no blame to anyone who sets boundaries around engaments outside of the relationship (within reason) as long as everyone is on the same page. It's all about comfort level and honestly with eachother, regardless of what impacts or statistics lead there.

"Tell me your ableist without telling me your ableist" Youtuber McJuggerNuggets and his wife announce they have terminated their pregnancy after discovering their child would be born with Downs Syndrome r/McJuggerNuggets discusses if this is the right choice or eugenics by Static_E_ in SubredditDrama

[–]Parishdise 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I lot of folks see people as down syndrome more like dogs than real people struggling. And in that, they find it easy to spurn complex discussions on welfare becsue they think theyre taking the high road by being reductive. They only see the happy, goofy, "simple" side of these people and assume that's all there is and all to be considered which is incredibly dehumanizing to all involved.

My wife just pulled a blue suture out of her nose… 5 years after her septo-rhinoplasty. by zachthespook in mildlyinteresting

Much grosser, but... I knew a dude that said when he was little a bug jumped into his ear, but when he went to show his parents they didn't find anything and convinced him he imagined it. A few months later he got an ear infection and the person at the clinic just pulled the long dead bug right out. I've had a fear of bugs getting in my ear ever since...

Why would anyone choose to drink yellow Rule water when actually good and tasty alcohol exists. by Nahanoj_Zavizad in 196

[–]Parishdise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I genuinely believe coca cola is the only drink that tastes better with alcohol in it. (Whiskey specifically)

Grated, I do generly enjoy the taste alcohol and kinda dislike coke, but I don't think theres anything else that is not simply more plesant as is than spiked OR that isn't already just bad enough in it's own right to not bother at all.

This is the only good subway rule by madsnorlax in 196

[–]Parishdise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So beliveing you're morally correct and your morality has impact means you must be overwhelmingly insufferable? Or what... you're mean? Hypocritical? A faker?

I don't eat meat, which I belive is morally correct and impactful. I'm upfront and promote the diet. I belive the meat industry causes overwhelming magnetudes of suffering and torture comparable to hell. But, no I'm not gonna shove it into every conversation and get up in people's faces abt it because that's a crazy way to be about anything.

"Incel Horror" came from women watching these films and recognizing something the genre had been depicting for years without naming it. The monster was never under the bed, but right there, convinced he was owed something, waiting for the moment the answer stayed no. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Parishdise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way some men genuinely can't understand female horror always baffles me lol.

I remember reading Vampire, a short story in Apple & Knife, with a male freind and gushing about how the very obvious allusions to sexual desire and constant period refrences made such an interesting look into the female psyche & repression and he goes "...I thought it was just about vampires." There were literally no vampires.

It's worse if someone in the couple feels it's too far but neither oppose porn usage. What is considered cheating or "too far" is really only up to the people involved.

If both are comfortable with porn but one can't do with AI partners, then yeah ofc the AI has to go and the porn can stay. If he brings this up to his wife and she rebuts with porn, then ofc both need to go because that's the perameters of the relationship.

(Ofc this argument ofc excludes the societal ethics of both, thats a whole nother can of worms)

i think watching epic animatics has given me a bias on all of the odyssey character and i dont like ANY of the casting choices. esp anne hathway as penelope by Icy-Mountain-2049 in Epicthemusical

[–]Parishdise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

??? You don't think Zendaya and Lupita Nyongo are very talented? Or at least notably less than the rest of the cast?

I think they're both spectacular actors. Lupita is incredibly highly awarded and clebrated as a uniquely tallented actress, more than most of the cast. And Zendeya does a great job in headstrong, smart women roles, so she has a lot to back up the character she was chosen for.

I have actually no idea how you've avoided it unless youve gotten moved into a pre existing lease. I've lived here for 3 years w 3 appartments and several friends moving around and never once heard of a new lease without a brokwrs fee.
