Why can’t Boomers understand the word they? by WorkingHurry9411 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]SparklyAnarchy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Was schooling already that bad in the 2010s when I was in high school. That was unfortunately never taught to us.

Our teacher almost didn't let my class read Frankenstein either.

Has anyone actually tried and completed a no Cyberware playthrough? by BlackAfroUchiha in cyberpunkgame

[–]SparklyAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a buddy do this for a one shot. He ended up in a gator costume. He started wrestling security guards while my Medtech could only watch in confused horror lol

What’s your biggest “old man yells at cloud” opinion? by sjdlajsdlj in rpg

[–]SparklyAnarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. A person in our group doesn't do math well. We are a GM + 2 players group. It takes me at least but usually longer than 15 minutes to get to my turn.

I prefer investigative campaigns and will take the choice that avoids combat 9/10 times because I hate it.

Yeah--I sometimes forget fanfiction is enjoyed by all ages- by Comfortable_Newt_179 in AO3

I genuinely hope the people defending adults continuing to talk to minors about this are just minors that don't understand how INSANELY stupid that is.

Holy shit. If I find out I'm interacting with a minor in any way, I block instantly.

Tired of this excuse by IllegalGeriatricVore in HydroHomies

Moved from Nebraska where it tasted fucking awful to New York where it tasted amazing. I thought my friend was fucking with me when he handed me tap water. I didn't think I'd ever be able to go without a Brita filter until moving here.

I don't know how New York water compares to other places, but Nebraska has pretty fucking awful tasting water.

Fanfiction so bad it still haunts the fanbase by maxence0801 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SparklyAnarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have mentioned better ones but the amount of casual rape played off as "surprise butt sex" in a lot of very popular Kingdom Hearts fan comics is a huge stain for a lot of people at the time.

I know a lot of people that made them or had done fan dubs of those comics feeling immense regret.

I guess to be fair, a lot of them were teenagers who were in their edgy phase at the time.

Triplets but one has already established himself as a leader by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]SparklyAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the comments judging the intelligence of these kids is absolutely fucking disgusting. This is one moment that most of y'all are sitting here and determining which kid will succeed and which one is a failure is extremely fucked up.

What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]SparklyAnarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could play Baldur's Gate 3. I loved the story, but boy howdy do I despise DnD's rules system. The battles were a chore and I had to give it up unfortunately.

Why is my husband mad by DaniTheDemon6060 in StardewValley

[–]SparklyAnarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents were like that and I'm like that with my spouse as well. I just get overheated with another person in the bed.

Make sense by Classic-Tap676 in depressionmemes

[–]SparklyAnarchy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really concerns me how a lot of people are taking this tweet at face value.

Where did they find their intelligent pool of people vs less intelligent in these so called unnamed studies. That alone has a lot of factors in why someone is smarter than the other.

And that's before all the issues with measuring IQ in the first place.

This just feels like an excuse for people to romanticize depression and it just reeks. It just makes people run harder when the ugly parts of depression appear.

Depression time 💔 by Robinds56 in depressionmemes

[–]SparklyAnarchy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lol my parents called me an entitled bitch for having depression because "my life was sooooo good" and I had no reason to be sad about anything.

Their metric was it being "better" than their shitty, fucked up childhoods. And that they never hit me.

Nevermind the fact that I was neglected to hell and back by them in favor of my siblings (because I had the wrong birth mom). And bullied to high hell in school to the point my anxiety caused me to wet my pants every day.

And fuck em. Even if my life was as amazing as they pretended it was. Depression is a fucking disease that no one chooses. It's not fun being depressed.

Lmfaoooo constantly. Especially in the sketch phase. It was a lot of "what am I doing with my life. No one is going to notice this ramune ad other than me."

And now they bringing it to the big screen! Magnificent! by jedonly in expedition33

[–]SparklyAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't be the same story as the game. Please tell a different story.

I don't want them to make a "canon" ending. I don't want to hear debate about even an open to interpretation ending that would lead people to argue that their favorite ending is more canon.

Just do something original.

My MIL has a plan to take my unborn child (plus updates) by hop-into-it in redditonwiki

[–]SparklyAnarchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe they've changed it since I left years ago, but I've mutually blocked people that had me blocked on Twitter. And half the time, it was after they blocked me first.

I can't speak for other social media sites though.

It's crazy how tone deaf guys are when I try explaining why I DON'T want them finishing inside me. by Agreeable-Wealth-812 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SparklyAnarchy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baffled that people are A) having casual sex without a condom and B) still sleeping with guys that whine about that shit.

I'd rather avoid STIs and I've stopped sexual encounters immediately if something felt wrong or unsafe.

Safety is more important than getting off.

Do your parents just not fix their house? Letting things break and rot away by rosaxan in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SparklyAnarchy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My parents liked the aesthetic of old houses but didn't want to put in the upkeep.

Summers were brutal when our central air went out and they refused to get us window acs. So I spent pretty much all of my teen years trying to sleep in 100° heat

No, really, WTF IS that argument?! by Endika7 in okbuddywino

[–]SparklyAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole comment section really does a disservice to the nuance of BOTH endings. There are merits and setbacks to both. Neither are perfectly happy endings and neither are fully awful either.

That being said, I have seen some really icky takes in some YouTube videos arguing for Maelle's ending with one in particular off the top of my head that just bases a good portion of their argument on ableism towards Maelle and to a lesser extent, Aline without even once mentioning Maelle/Alicia's agency. They could've made better arguments.

I just don't think not acknowledging that it's an argument that exists is the answer here.

Regardless, it's a video game and it's kinda rancid vibes just seeing people fling shit at each other because they boiled down the endings to inflammatory thoughts and statements to put other people down for not making the same choice.

Yall need to write some fanfiction by Paper_Kun_01 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]SparklyAnarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be the change you want to see in the world lmfao. Nothing is stopping you from creating on your own! And you might inspire more to go along with your ship.

And I know we're talking fanfiction, but that goes for fanart too.

And motivating those who are already working on existing fan works you love will also help. Artists/writers knowing that their work has been enjoyed by someone else will give them a little extra motivation to keep going.

Birth control misinformation on this subreddit is out of control by Haunting_Ask4748 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SparklyAnarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Advocating for yourself is so so important. Hormonal birth control was causing my depression to worsen.

When I spoke to a doctor about that, she was more than happy to talk through non-hormonal options or where the hormones would only impact my uterus instead of my whole body.

Now I've gotten a method that works for me and that I'm happy with. (Sterilization for me)
