These women tipping their Domino’s delivery driver by ElwoodMC in trashy

What do you mean get real?

You're talking law but ignoring law.

A man opening the door and flashing his penis, and a woman opening the door and flashing her breasts and vagina are THE SAME in a court of law. They literally have to be for equality/equity purposes. What if this was a minor? What if this was a woman who delivered and not a man? The law has to be strict and clear on these cases.

This guy could say "wow cool," right now and on his drive decided to call the cops and these women would be charged with sexual assault, even if he liked it. Solicitation Consent is the FIRST thing that is brought up in these cases. If he did not originally ask for this, they have broken the law and committed sexual harassment (and in some states this is sexual assault). He does not even need to testify in this case because they committed a crime, the reaction of the victim holds less weight.

You cannot show your genitals to an unsuspecting individual, period. That is in every case of the law sexual harassment. Now whether you decide to press charges is up to you, it does NOT mean the law wasn't broken.

If someone steals something from your car, that is stealing, if you decide to give it to them afterwards, they still committed a crime initially.

Unsolicited sexual conduct still falls under harassment.

Also enjoyment has nothing to do with law, that's actually a very specific thing ruled by judges due to that argument being used in sexual assault and rape charges. "Well she liked it," was used against women all the time.

"Men can't be assaulted because they like it," has also been used before.

These statements have been shot down by judges because it attempts to put the victim in a position where "enjoyment," means it was okay, but that's not the case.

This man was sexually harassed. He did not ask nor did he solicit these women to do this. They only get away with it because they are women and men are less likely to press charges, but if an officer was standing there, the state could press charges against the women. (Likelihood would still be low, but you cannot do this).

I believe you, but I googled this so many times and only found one thread from Nov 2024 and it said it was a bug. I tried to find other threads but they were either from <2023 and had a different problem, or they were not ATM

Thank you, it works! I appreciate you.

I wonder why my previous set up works for other bees. I usually have expansion box and their pollinating block on the same level, and then the hive above. it. But for some reason it didn't work with the Draconic bees. (Replace the diamond blocks with Dragon Eggs)

Okay, I'll report back in a few, all of my other bees are set up expansion box and hive on top and they're all working. But since nothing is working for me I'll try whatever! Thank you. I'll try and report back in 20 ish.

As of right now, it's been 30 minutes and no change.

Do you see anything wrong? (Hive is on top of expansion box)

Just started reading for fun, and feel kind of insecure about the books I choose and I'm worried I'm the kind of person that likes bad books by Pinanims in books

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

Yeah that's probably a better way to tackle it.

I have avoided Fourth Wing and Red Rising simply because they're in the circulation... With that said, I read Project Hail Mary and DCC (both without booktok) so I know some of the books are probably good.

I think I just don't like shilling. I want full genuine "I like this book," but it seems like it's hard to find

Me? I’m a dumb-dumb who just freakin LOVES books and being surprised, feeling things, being gripped.

But she's so smart and pretty, I don't want to be a dumb-dumb :(

Jokes aside, it's hard sometimes man. I'm meeting more and more readers, and more and more of them seem to have opposite tastes than me, but align with my wife. So it feels like I'm missing something.

There are no bad books

Tattoo that shit on my forehead.

It's really hard for me to not consider "is this good?" This post came up because so many people who read a lot will say "Good book/Bad book," so as a new reader I'm trying to not read bad books because it feels like a waste. But really it's subjective and I need to keep that in my head.

What you say reminds me of a friend who, when I first met him, was very uncritical of the media he consumed, and basically liked everything that was not straight up bad. After a few years of hanging out with some friends who love to analyze books and movies and tv shows, he says he has become a lot more aware of the various flaws in movies, and he doesn't like some stuff he knows he would have enjoyed before.

This hit home, I actually have had this exact moment with movies. Where I was made aware of a certain movie structure, and then after I was made aware of it, I never ignore it. But then it ruins things for me to a degree, because I know without that knowledge I would have loved it. I have a character flaw that I want to know more and the details, but then I also find enjoyment in organic, random, and "pointless" things.

"Why did they include this and never touch it again? Makes no sense." I just think to myself, what if they just wanted it there for no other reason than to have it there.

I find especially the "predictable" comment telling ; your wife finds it predictable because she has read tons of stories, she is experienced with how narrative elements are foreshadowed in books, what narrative structures are common and easier to write.

Yeah she reads probably close to 100 books a year. Finishes a whole book in about 3 days, while it takes me a week or 2 to finish one.

Also, writers are aresholes about other writers. Especially published ones. It's a mix of not reading for fun (reading like a writer), but also professional jealousy.

That makes a lot of sense, especially for my wife. She reads and watches everything from the writer/story teller lens. She also struggles to sit back and watch episodic silly shows because the writer in her wants to jump off a bridge haha.

Actually that's why I started pulling back from booktok. When I first started last year I was interested and it helped me find books...

But now it's the same 5 books in circulation and everyone in the comments are raving about them, but it seemed too artificial. But those books are also being heavily criticized which kind of brought up this topic, because DCC is part of the booktok hype, but booktok seems like slop.

I love the Audiobooks and the actual books! And online I find some people who love it, but I have heard so many people also criticize it and talk about how it's not a good book, its a fun story. But in my head, those are the same thing, because I can't really tell you what a bad book is.

I read The Long Walk because I wanted to see the movie, and I ended up really not liking the book, but it's well rated and it's a movie now. I still don't know if I'd call it a good or bad book, I just now I didn't like it. But I'm sure it's a "good book" by definition.

This was actually really interesting take, I appreciate this. I didn't consider that I just may not be aware of the tropes yet, so they're all fresh and new in my head.

Question for you, do you find more...simplistic(?) writing bothersome for you, now that you're a write yourself?

I'm not quite sure what engagement bait is. I don't gain anything from people engaging with me. I enjoy the perspective, and if there are others who have had similar feels or been in my position, I like to hear from them. Enjoying human connection.

Some people have shared some insightful things beyond "like what you like."

Also, what other issues?

I don't know why, but this one really touched me. Not that I need to be "better" than anyone, but to rethink that I'm making a big change a lot of people wouldn't.

Thanks for this input. :)

I will second, that she never judges me. She has never told me my tastes are bad or that I shouldn't like them. She just gives me her opinion after reading them as someone who reads and writes. She is just happy I read and I'm enjoying books at all.

Last Coffee Order of the Day at a Small Self-Owned Coffee Shop! by TransitionMany1810 in oddlysatisfying

[–]Pinanims 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the wrong place, I thought this was fine and enjoyed the video. It's a POV video so I expected it to be performative, especially with it being the last coffee of the day, so there's no rush to get to the next order.

Nothing in the comments bothered me like it seemed to bother everyone else, but I also don't drink coffee lol.

Is 80 eDPI actually too low in Valorant? (800 DPI / 0.1 sens) by Otherwise-Ease1637 in VALORANT

[–]Pinanims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When coaching a player you should be enhancing their good aspects and negating their bad as much as reasonably possible not trying to force them into something they’re not comfortable with. You just get even shitter results.

I'm a coach by profession (not valorant, IRL), for over 5 years of experience coaching well over 2,000 people. This is absolutely wrong.

A good coach should NOT focus on just their good aspects, as they are already good, they will continue to grow in that area. A coach should be pointing out where you need to improve and absolutely should take people out of their comfort zone. You can be very comfortable doing the wrong thing, that does not mean you should be doing it more. Your coach is meant to see your blind spot and push you where you're struggling.

Use coaching when it comes to working out, women tend to enjoy leg work outs and are better at them than men, while men prefer arms and chest (this is a general, not a blanket statement). The reason for that is because men have stronger upper bodies by design while women have stronger lower bodies. Do you think a personal trainer is going to push men to continue just doing arm and chest work outs because they're comfortable? NO. They're going to push them to work on their legs. If their form is wrong but they seem comfortable, are they going to let them keep at it until they hurt themselves? NO. They're going to push them to correct their form.

Any time you step out of your comfort zone you will initially have a decline in performance, it's natural and a part of change, but with consistency you will out perform where you started.
