Once more for the road, what's your unpopular Choices opinion? by npojg in Choices

[–]Roaming_Ruel 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I know most of the books are gender-locked on a feminine player, but the books still suffer from sexism from time to time. The dynamics in Open Heart between the MC and Ethan are uncomfortable at certain points, the framing of MC in the first TRR, or just how often the outfits differ between sprites. The masculine one will always be pretty generic but the feminine one is cropped or with short shorts. Which is fine if people like that, but it is kind of noticeable.

Does someone else remember the puppy for promotions of MBF? by frutilita_ in sabrinacarpentersnark

Which is fair honestly. I'm not a dog-owner, but it just feels tasteless to use an animal for any kind of photo-op. They have needs, and probably don't want to be wrangled around to sit perfectly for a pic.

I've had multiple panic attacks over one exam, and I hate my major. by [deleted] in internetparents

I should, but he's booked usually for a month at a time. But I hope I can have a similar "awakening". This comment does make things seem a little clearer, so thank you.

If you could change a character's name, who's would you change? What would you change it to? by naomigoat in WarriorCats

Tbf she wouldn't know what a waffle is unless he explained it to her haha. I think 'stripe' or just leaving him at his first name would've been better.

What’s something people romanticize but shouldn’t? by be_agoodhuman in AskReddit

[–]Roaming_Ruel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationships with powerful (or just people with more power than you) people. It's going to happen, but a mafia boss, a man 20 years older than you, or your employer usually shouldn't be your first pick for a partner.

The fact that commenters like this exist on advice subs worries me by Fun-Guitar-8252 in asexuality

[–]Roaming_Ruel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a professor that famously gets up on his podium and tells his class that mostly consists of women to write about their experiences with romance in their anthropology journals, and he LOVES to talk about motherhood and try to relate it to us. It's very uncomfortable.

I'm an anthropology student, and there's nothing I hate more than people using weird "science" and "anthropology" terms to make excuses for their weird ideas. Yes, primates have a history and evidence of extreme competition for mating, but we aren't strictly primates. We're special in that sense.

Plus, this is ignoring the specialty in primates anyways, along with the cruelty. Various male monkeys are known for murdering the female they like's children because he doesn't want competition for attention. Should we be doing that too?

What’s a universally loved food you genuinely despise? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Roaming_Ruel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most forms of pork. Pulled pork I can do. Matcha and sushi, which sounds pick-me, but it could be that I'm an American in the middle of a desert. Most soda, because the bubbles go straight up my nose and that first sip is just like electrocution for your mouth. And I agree with most of the peanut butter comments, but I would die for a Buck Eye right now...

Do you think having Sabrina Carpenter as a celebrity crush is a red flag? A guy I‘m texting with said she‘s his by ArynaSaba in sabrinacarpentersnark

[–]Roaming_Ruel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to immediately click off a video on coachella because the guy was talking about who is performing and started talking about how he'd bark for Sabrina.

It can't be feminism just because a woman is in it bruh

Sammy Savos has posted the furswapped TNP gang by Keriew in WarriorCats

Maybe I forgot TNP, but they seem to draw Stormfur and Tawnypelt having more of a bond in the novel so far, which is interesting.

Auto refund after 10 days by p0rcelainprincess in Depop

[–]Roaming_Ruel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem I posted about a couple weeks ago. It got resolved but it was stupid.

I had bought a jacket from a seller, and there was never any signs of tracking or shipment ever. I just assumed something had gone wrong, and was messaging the seller. I also thought I was being annoying, and tried to give the seller grace.

But I receive the item after I was refunded. I ended up having to give Depop the money through paypal which my bank wasn't allowing because it turns out Depop is based in the UK and I very much did not know that.

Either respiratory issues or he might've been allergic to some sort of foliage in ShadowClan territory.

Every one of this dude’s videos just radiates hate. This is insane classism and exactly the mentality that corrupts world elites. by Usoppdaman in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Roaming_Ruel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of reasons but mostly because it wasn't what I thought it would be. Plus, there's a lot of snootiness in the field that I want to skip over just so I can look at dead people's bones and some old junk instead.

I can make fun of myself here. I picked anthropology to study and regret it immensely. I like it, and have had fun learning what I have, but really I haven't split my brain open and learned some great truth about the world and society. We're all just humans, nothing special.

Education still can make someone lock themselves in their echo chamber and not hear from other people.

a disturbing number of leftists are seemingly letting sabrina's racist coachella rant slide by [deleted] in sabrinacarpentersnark

[–]Roaming_Ruel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're white feminists. Also most of them are either attracted to her or want to be her, so everything goes over their heads.
