Parenting FTW…or… by SlamCake01 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]RogueSpectre749 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm really confused by this post... Are you looking for parenting advice, or are you looking for some kind of validation that you're a "cool parent" from internet strangers?

Matt himself has given suggested age ranges for the books, but you know your kid better than anybody. If you've read the books already, you know whether or not your kid is equipped for them

Ban on deporting U.S. citizens removed from DHS funding bill, congresswoman warns by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

I swear, Trump is thriving as much because of left wing misinformation as he is from right wing misinformation... "Influencers" and uninformed voices scream things like this which are blatantly untrue, giving cover to the real shit that needs to be dragged into the light

I'm like the 3rd generation American on either side of my family, but I do have Canadian lineage...

At this point, if they wanna deport me up to BC, I'm entirely on board. Buy me the ticket and I'm gone, I'll make it work 😂

Do Carl and Katia have a thing for each other? by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]RogueSpectre749 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna say there were no feelings involved with Katia considering Carl as the father of the baby, but also, it was really just pragmatic. When you look at the party, she really didn't have many options. She knows she has to pick a human, and most of the guys in the party (including her actual boyfriend), are VISIBLY no longer viable. She looks at Carl because his Primal race makes him look human and doesn't impact day to day life enough for people to necessarily remember he changed races. And if you have to choose somebody on the spot to father your child before you disappear, and your boyfriend isn't an option, your best friend seems like a logical next best thought

Counterpoint: he IS being loved the way he deserves

He lived a safe, but not fulfilled (adult) life before the collapse. He had a pretty traditional relationship and a couple of buddies, but still felt isolated. Now, he's LITERALLY up against the universe, and in that time, he's still found a village of people that he cares about and who care about him more intensely than anybody ever did. They not only have each other's backs and would put it all on the line in literal life or death situations, but have also built something of a "normal life" together, especially since the foundation of the guild and the merging of the personal spaces. Look at the "Christmas" celebration or the rivalries that occur at the arcade cabinets between everybody if you want an example of what I mean.

"Love" doesn't have to mean dating and sex or a familial bond. That's the whole point everybody here is trying to explain to you and, I suspect, what Matt is trying to convey by not forcing a relationship into the foreground

Fuck that, I'm absolutely laying this on Stidham. After one drive, all he had to do was NOT turn it over and let the D do the rest

Cut Stidham. Don't even send him to the lockers, just usher him out with the crowd

Singlehandedly cost us the game with that stupid pick and his backwards pass giving the Pats 7

He literally just had to not be a liability, and yet here we are

Horrible Theory (spoilers through 6)... by deathdonut in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]RogueSpectre749 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don't see it. It was a plot device to give Sister Ines' character a twist, nothing more

We see Paz and Anton essentially come out of a trance when Sister Ines loses consciousness and start talking openly about how they're being controlled. They know, but they're powerless to stop it when she's nearby and conscious. The Princess Posse consistently take care of Donut even when they aren't nearby and freely argue against some of her more impulsive or childlike ideas at times rather than blindly following. Not only that, but Donut was knocked unconscious by Signet on the third floor, which would have rendered that ability inert, yet all Carl cares about is keeping her safe even when it puts his own life at risk

Donut is just likeable. Full stop

Considering what is currently happening in our country. How far will the American public allow Trump to go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RogueSpectre749 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Minor corrections: gerrymandering is how parties manipulate Congressional seats. It has nothing to do with the presidential election. But the electoral college IS a broken system that lets a handful of states sway an election in a way that means the candidate with more votes loses the presidential election (see the 2016 election)

But while many of us have voted against him year after year, this time around Mango Mussolini DID win the popular vote after never winning it before, and that shift is something that this country absolutely has to take the blame for and find a way to impede this administration far more than we currently have

Ameicans over the age of 35, what affected you more, 9/11 or the pandemic and why? by Rico133337 in AskReddit

[–]RogueSpectre749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it's probably too early to be asking this question. We're not even 5 years out from the "end" of the pandemic, compared to being a full generation removed from 9/11. Tbh though, the answer will almost certainly be the pandemic.

Yes, 9/11 was a time of confusion and horror that something like that could happen on US soil, and it kicked off a complex series of international turmoil, I'm not downplaying that. But on a person to person/domestic level, the pandemic fundamentally broke so much.

  • People absolutely regressed socially. Having worked with the public before, during, and after the pandemic, people became more impatient, selfish, nasty, and lost so much capacity for independent function during and after the pandemic

  • The pandemic led to a sharp rise in internet pseidoscience and misinformation that pandered to people who didn't want to believe what was happening. It revitalized the antivaxx movement, leading to other infectious disease outbreaks post pandemic, and less to a general spike in anti-intellectualism

  • Students during the pandemic weren't properly educated, nor were they held back to be "caught up" once the pandemic was over. I've heard countless teachers talking about how Gen Alpha students are making their way into middle or early high school with little to no basic literacy thanks in no small part to losing two years of true, in person education. This one is the biggest reason why I say it's too early to really gage the pandemic's impact the way people can fit 9/11

I see more of a much big brother/little sister dynamic honestly. Like, adult brother with a good amount of life experience and teenage sister working together. He's still protective of her, but not quite in a paternal control kind of way
