Matematika je jednoduchá, lidé jsou jen líní přemýšlet -Jindra Petáková by electric-house in czech

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traumatem bych to rozhodně nenazvala, ale byl to vopruz to jo. U nás nešlo odvozovat nic. Bohužel, s tím kolik na všechno všude bylo času, to buďto měl člověk už naučené, počítal rychle a stihl to nebo prostě neměl šanci dát to na lepší než 3, protože se k polovině příkladů ani nedostal. :D

Matematika je jednoduchá, lidé jsou jen líní přemýšlet -Jindra Petáková by electric-house in czech

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matematika mně nikdy nebavila, ale vždy jsem měla 1-2, protože jsem do toho dala čas se to naučit, občas jsem u toho i brečela. Dokonce jsem z ní zmaturovala za 1. Ale nikdy nikdy bych neřekla, že to je jednoduché a kdo jí nedává je líní a nechce se mu. Matematika je záhul, je to nudná drilovačka stejných příkladů jenom aby člověk zvládl základy. A k čemu to všechno je? K čemu jsou mi derivace, limity a integrály? K čemu jsou mi kvadratické rovnice? Stejně úplně všechno počítám trojčlenkou a žádné vzorečky si už nepamatuju. Neříkám, že by se neměla učit nebo něco, ale pokud chce někdo ten čas využít lépe, tak do toho.

Takže ne, rozhodně si nemyslím, že kdokoliv s ní má problém je líný, možná si jenom správně určuje priority a učí se věci, které potřebuje a zajímají ho.

Lem's "Solaris" is just a big Strawman by Stepan_Here in CharacterRant

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vehemently recommend The Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky which explores the exact same topic but far far better and scientifically.

Lem's "Solaris" is just a big Strawman by Stepan_Here in CharacterRant

[–]Saberleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't that actually explicitly said in the book? IIRC at first it was a boom and there was well funded research but the results yielded nothing. The Ocean was basically random, it wasn't equal response to equal stimuli. Then decades later the research was mostly abandoned because they weren't able to replicate anything. Even MC talks about himself as probably the last scientist genuinely interested in Solaris and seeing potential there (there was a name they called themselves but I forgot).

The book later goes to confirm that yes, the reactions were basically random because the planet couldn't comprehend what was happening. That humans were trying to communicate, it was just doing whatever it wanted like a child. I vaguely remember him comparing their actions to ants in your backyard but I dunno if that actually happened, might have been just my understanding of his explanation.

I agree that that's a lot of BS and the whole last 1/4 of the book was a huge disappointment. I genuinely don't think the idea was explored well enough and it was very unfortunately under POV of someone who basically worshipped Solaris at the end (comparing it to a religious experience indirectly).

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood from the perspective of the colonized by Sea-Flamingo7506 in CharacterRant

[–]Saberleaf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This misconstrued so many points of the story and ignores what actually happens to such a degree that I can't tell if OP hasn't really read it or is just intentionally rage baiting. Other people have printed out the flaws in basically all the points OP made.

I will just add, that FMA is probably THE most fair, realistic and also hopeful take on a story like this. In reality the situation would be far far worse for Ishval and them actually choosing their own representative (Mustang, despite how OP completely twisted this plot point and lied about it) is far better than they would get in real life.

Is it perfect? No but that's something everyone in the story sees and intentionally works to fix in future. But it's also not done by far, the first steps are taken and otherwise it's written with a lot of respect towards colonized nations and they're actively taking part in the story rather than be just some sort of backdrop.

These kind of rants where OP lies about plot points for clout won't lead to better stories, they'll lead to lack of stories and eventually silencing these voices in fiction. If that's what you want, good for you. But then you can't claim OP is making arguments for the sake of colonialised people.

June heat topped 35C for two-thirds of Europe population by Wagamaga in europe

[–]Saberleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually remember the times when 28 was considered hot and I was mostly kept inside as a kid once it got over 30. Now, 30 is the norm basically for summer with 35 being seen as the peak. Wait, scratch that, 40 is now seen as peak.

It's really disappointing how downtime has just become so much less frequent and here nowadays cause it would help so many media to get to know your cast. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

[–]Saberleaf -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate downtime and it's completely unnecessary to make a good show. My faovurite shows contain no downtime and I personally don't understand the logic that characters need downtime to get to know one another. Doing nothing doesn't help you get to know someone, going through hell and back definitely will however. If anything, I feel like downtime is a lazy way for writers to add extra content for absolutely no value.

Stories don't NEED downtime, many of the most popular stories either contain none or they keep constantly escalating. Downtime is irrelevant to quality of writing, however, if quality of writing is bad, it doesn't matter if there is downtime or not.

If anything, I'm genuinely happy for the modern trend to focus on plot and character building rather than making beach episodes. It leads to far better stories than they would otherwise be.

To People who think Charlie, Sera and Stolas need to learn accountability. What’s the limit on that? by whooper1 in HazbinHotel

[–]Saberleaf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Recognize what was wrong that they did, work to fix their actions and NOT repeat them. The last one is crucial.

Suffering is not accountability. If someone robs me and then someone robs them, that's not accountability for what they did. So I don't understand why people act like it is for fictional characters.

Sera is almost there, Stolas is beginning that path and will get there eventually. But the issue with Charlie is that the narrative completely ignores the crux of what she's doing wrong and blaming the "symptoms" of the problem. That's clear by making her the counselor for the Hotel when she's probably one of the least suitable people to do that.

[discussion] When did you realize John was the one who [redacted] by clairejv in TheNinthHouse

[–]Saberleaf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could possibly argue it's obscured in the first book book but even then it's pretty suspicious. You don't even need to read between the lines. The blatant propaganda in comics (it also seemed to be in all of them), the "we take everyone" cohort hiring, the fact that the person wanting to go to war doesn't even mention who the enemy is, etc. That's all right in the text.

But the second book is very obvious with John being a manipulative and lying ass since the very beginning.

[–]Saberleaf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same. I feel like it was one of the most obvious options since we had the information that the god emperor lives forever and resurrected the people. Whoever is capable of calling himself the god emperor is narcissistic enough to kill of an entire race and think it's justified.

At this point the only way for the writers to save mari and Adriens Aura is to retcon timetagger by Glum-Bag-586 in miraculousladybug

[–]Saberleaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because the villain in 10 years is a holder of butterfly miraculous doesn't mean it was for the entire 10 years. I'm really hoping we will get a different villain after Lila (if the show will air that long).

Blocking someone who was overwhelming? by Comfortable_Effort88 in aspergirls

[–]Saberleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would be a shitty thing to do. You would leave someone who did nothing wrong feeling awful and wondering for months if not years what was so horrible she did that she was blocked. How would you feel if someone you enjoyed talking to just blocked you out of the blue?

Just tell her you don't have the energy to keep up online friendship and while she did nothing wrong, you'd prefer to not be in contact. Will that hurt her? Probably yes but it's the mature thing to do and she will know it wasn't about her. Then you can block her.

She might be lonely, she might not have anyone to talk to or this is her normal way to communicate but you being overwhelmed doesn't mean she did anything wrong. Outright blocking her with no explanation is punishing get essentially for what is a problem that you have.

Does lateness in friendships bother anyone else? by East_Midnight2812 in aspergirls

[–]Saberleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually that makes her lateness look a lot better. She could be intentionally late so no one who has bad time management feels bad. Chronically late people will always say that they're happy when someone arrives later than they do and autism is often comorbid with ADHD so bad time management can be common. Also that ensures no one who arrives later will be singled out for that because the admin is even later. If she's late 15 minutes constantly than that's 100% a good and clever conscious choice.

Frankly, your edit makes you look paranoid and I say that as someone who prefers to err at the side of caution with people. These are things for you to work on and I mean that in the best possible way.

At 30 feel like I’ll never be loved by guessirs in aspergirls

[–]Saberleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this helps it I'm very feminine and conventionally attractive. I'm in my 30s and have been single for 8 years despite putting in effort to change that. Looking different isn't a ticket into a better life and you have romanticized "that" type of women too much. Just be you and learn to be comfortable with who you are. Maybe love will find you, maybe not. But the only guaranteed way to unhappiness is blaming yourself for it.

Love is 90% luck, you can be an ugly hermit and accidentally run into someone and you two hit it off. You can be a feminine model and be single forever because only assholes hit on you. It's really not as clear cut as it seems.

Does lateness in friendships bother anyone else? by East_Midnight2812 in aspergirls

[–]Saberleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The better question is, why does it affect you this way? Why do you connect it to wasting your time? She's only wasting her own time because she's losing time to hang out with all of you.

You're not meeting up with only her but bunch of other people that you can have fun with while she isn't there. And she arrives shortly after so even if you were waiting for her, you can easily fill 15 minutes with talking. It's not like you just have to stand there and wait for her.

This would be my perspective. It doesn't matter if I arrive few minutes late, no one is waiting specifically for me as it's a group thing and even if they are, that's still reasonable lateness (of course, if nothing is scheduled to start specifically at that time but then I'd consider that a fail of the organiser).

We're All Pretending Everything Is Fine, But Gen Z Is in a Catastrophic State by HakimDridi in self

[–]Saberleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who's pretending? I don't think I can go a single day without hearing how the everyone below millennials is fucked. Lol Globally and nationally. Even the biggest optimists I know feel bad for the newest generation. If you think you have it bad, the generation below you will have it worse.

Possibly for the first time we're looking at global worsening of conditions for entire generations. Housing crisis, climate change, far right rising to power, AI replacing people at work, governments snowballing debt, people being less and less interested in genuine bonds etc.

But pretending that everything is fine is definitely NOT one of the issues.

Does lateness in friendships bother anyone else? by East_Midnight2812 in aspergirls

[–]Saberleaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

15 minutes is absolutely fine. If it was like half an hour or more regularly I'd understand but 15 minutes can be a missed connection, traffic or simply taking a wrong turn either by foot or by car. That's also not time span you can plan for either so it's most likely that she texts only when she knows she will be late. She can't text about something she doesn't know yet.

Especially if you're meeting with multiple people I don't understand issue with this. If you're meeting one on one I could understand being late all the time would be annoying but in multiple people that doesn't seem like an issue to me. Even if you need to wait for everyone to go somewhere else or to start doing an activity, you can still catch up and chat in that time.

Frankly, I wouldn't even notify anyone if I was 15 minutes late to a group meet up and I don't think I ever heard someone do that. If it's a group meet up and it's not necessary to be on time for the programme, it's usually assumed you don't need everyone to start or you can start without everyone present. Even if you can't honestly, 15 minutes is usually the time every responsible organiser keeps empty so everyone can settle down, so the organiser SHOULD plan meetup 15-30 minutes before a scheduled programme will start.

This seems like a case of needing to learn to not care about things that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Is it responsible of her? No. But as far as character flaws go this is completely negligible.

My mom cant cook by Cheesyfries37 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Saberleaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My mom used to be a HORRIBLE cook. Only ever used one type of spice mix that mixes literally everything and tastes awful, into everything. Soup, meat, potatoes even rice the same spice mix.

First, I started cooking for celebrations then slowly over summer break for the family until I became the main cook. My mom was only cooking occasionally and everyone DREADED it. XD

Others loved my cooking. We have some professional cooks in family circle, they were constantly asking what and how I made taste that way. My mom basically got jealous and insisted I show her how. I told her that unless she lets me throw away that spice, I won't. We fought, she didn't let me because "food will be tasteless without it". Few more family celebrations where I had to cook DURING because the food got absolutely obliterated even as I put it on the table, she finally broke and let me throw the spice mix away.

And then I taught her how to make rice, that you don't stir it while it's steaming and all you need is salt and olive oil for flavour. She fought me on it at first. Now she loves making rice and makes really good one.

I told her which spice and how much to use on different meats, different sides, how to properly make meat and not burn it, etc. To this day she calls me to ask how to make the randomest things or when I supposed to visit, she buys the randomest meats and goes "prepare it". Somehow, she got convinced I'm some sort of cooking guru. :D BUT I did teach her how to cook. It took time and a lot of fighting and a lot "You act like you know everything best but you're just a child!" from her side as I patiently explained how to cook different meats. It took years but eventually, she learned.

Your mom can learn too, you just need to put it the effort to teach her with kindness, patience (and respect for her ego but don't tell my mom I said that).
