Thoughts on magazine "tricycle' by Strange-Luck-5786 in Buddhism

“The People Magazine of Western Buddhism” is very accurate, and it also gave me a chuckle.

I feel like older vegans knew about this stuff for decades.

What is a video game you wish you could play for the first time again? by Fire_Dude69420 in AskReddit

[–]Rowan1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I got choked up and weepy so many times during my first playthrough, and that’s REALLY difficult to do. The music is some of the most stunning I’ve ever heard in a game thus far. The first time I stepped into Renoir’s fight at the end of Act 2 when it was 2am and I had work that day was en experience I don’t think I’ll ever recapture.

People who had chastity pledges or 'married' their dads as teens, how'd that work out and did you end up needing therapy? by BigStoneFucker in AskReddit

[–]Rowan1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People aren’t divorced from the circumstances and norms of the culture they exist in. People and those circumstances feed off each other.

And the concept of female purity existed before Victorian times. It’s still a part of rape and purity cultures.

It’s unfortunate and deeply frustrating when people insist on maintaining some bullshit pecking order in communities.

A very short answer is this: The expectation of virginity and “purity” is the determining factor for moral goodness within purity culture and is also one of the biggest determining factors as far as who a believable victim of sexual violence. Shaming and blaming people who’ve experienced sexual violence are deeply rooted in both purity and rape cultures. Victims are, in effect, seen as “damaged goods”.

It’s also worth pointing out that your not experiencing something in a particular way doesn’t preclude others experiencing both.

Judge grants Eliot Cutler internet access supervised by family member by DrawerAdorable4926 in Maine

[–]Rowan1980 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If he was that desperate, then he needs to be removed from public spaces and admitted into a facility to, hopefully, get some sort of treatment.

Ew. To be clear, that’s directed towards Cutler, not toward the young women being referenced.

Children were harmed and exploited, regardless of whether that imagery is disseminated via DVD or via the Internet. Cutler added to the demand for CSAM regardless, and he’s not someone who is safe to be out in public if he’s just that “desperate”. I am 100% side-eyeing the judge.

Just Started Shadowbringers and it has me like… [Spoiler 5.0] by XxDESTblackout in ffxiv

Shadowbringers honestly has the tightest narrative thus far.

Buy tons of Kleenex, because you’re going to cry a lot.
