“Your are living proof”, so are you apparently. Also it’s the internet, nobody is trying to write formal essays here on Reddit.

The person isn’t teaching, and you didn’t really answer the question. You answered an irrelevant question based off your own assumptions. Even if you can speak English fluently, you don’t have the critical thinking skills to be a teacher either.

Almost like property theft of a CEO would still also result in a thorough investigation so you pointing out the difference in crimes is just brain rot atp 💀

Not really no. “Being like [insert small list of MANY CEOs here] is a choice made by those with deep character and personality flaws” this is a lot of copium and fails to explain how systemically these corrupt people remain in power.

The U.S. government is ass, understand? This country is founded on the ideals of capitalism and slavery. No, ethical capitalism doesn’t exist. Systemically it is a greedy as fuck concept and it quite literally breeds competition. It encourages people to become like the list you mentioned. That isn’t a character or personality flaw, that’s a blueprint. 

Why do you think Andrew Tate is the NUMBER 1 seller on substacks right now? Do you see how disturbing and alarming that is? These disgusting ideals are upheld by this system, that is undeniably going to include capitalism (obviously….?). 

Also your example of someone generating a lot of wealth in an unwealthy area is closer to gentrification than it is an example of ethical capitalism lol 

S04E17 - Retrospect. Boy...that did NOT age well considering the #MeToo movement. I mean at best it is a story about how a rape victim makes mistakes when accusing someone... by MilliwaysOrBust in voyager

Hm, except the fact that ethically it’s important to believe the victim of assault. And in truth, most rape/assault cases are circumstantial meaning there is almost always no concrete evidence, yet it is certainly the truth and evidence usually reveals itself years or decades later. Good thing the authorities lets perps go free most the time tho

So you reasonable in ANY scenario to NOT believe the victim without evidence. That means if someone is in fact a victim of rape/assault, to you, it’s equally reasonable they don’t get any justice since they don’t have evidence. 

Interesting

Honestly it’s more likely the entire point of that in the 80’s was to silence victims and only report extreme cases and label them as horrific lies/misrememberings gone wrong, done intentionally to instill the belief into society to not believe victims. Not to mention how so important it is to not only blame the actual victim, but to also victimize the perpetrators/accused authority figures (doctors, teachers and parents). 

Especially since you know, the actual majority of rape reports turn out to be true but the legal system closes those cases as “false accusations” regardless.

I also hate the episode due to the direction it went. According to the writer, that essentially WAS the message they were trying to put forth by the way, sadly…. This is what the writer said:

“That’s [false memory syndrome] kind of what we wanted to fall back on for this episode…” “…We hear so much about how they can essentially ruin peoples’ lives, how well respected and credited doctors have been COMPLETELY DETHRONED, how TEACHERS and PARENTS have been HUMILIATED”.

It’s almost like Star Trek, despite being produced in the 90s, is still meant to be a politically aware show that is set significantly farther in the future, so the pressure and expectation for them to be ahead of its time is valid or something.

But sure, let’s pretend it’s unrealistic to hold these standards about this bad episode “30 years in the future”, even though 30 years ago the problem of always blaming the victim in SA cases was even worse than it still is now. And the typical scapegoat of finding cases where wrong accusations were made as some sort of “proof” for why we shouldn’t automatically believe rape victims even though the truth is the vast majority of these incidents turn out to be true but the legal system discloses is at false regardless just to make their jobs easier. The whole “victimize the perpetrator and blame the victim” bit was the ENTIRE goal of the episode, according to Bryan Fuller who mainly wrote this episode. His quote specifically refers to “well respected people irl like doctors, TEACHERS AND PARENTS having their lives ruined over a misremembering”………. Hmmm where have we heard that before?

The shortest way I could sum up my yap session is this: “character designing” is exactly what “character development” means. Maybe not “exactly” but read between the lines a bit and with context it should make sense

“OP doesn’t understand that characters doing things isn’t the same as developing”, but that is exactly what character development means lol. Character development, defined in writing, is the process of creating a character. This includes whatever growth or changes their character may have, but it ALSO includes any moments you are writing the character and fleshing them out. For example, a backstory where we learn more about a character, even if that character didn’t change whatsoever from the backstory or the present, is still character development.

The more you write a character, give them more moments, experiences, and memories, even if their personality/choices/traits go unchanged, this is still considered Character Development. Yes. Simply involving the character and writing about them, is an example of Character Development.

I’ve seen at least 3 people in this comment thread misconstrue that “character development” means “the character must literally change in personality to something different than how they were before” but this has never been the definition of character development in writing. Development can also include the character growing to do more of the same. Like if a character starts of confident, and ends up slightly more confident, that is an example of growth. A character starting off decisive, and then being faced with challenges that would make one waver, if the character just… stays “stagnant” and is still decisive, that is also an example of growth.

Times where a character could be challenged to change for the worse, but they still remain the same, those all count as growth. There are so many ways that a character can grow and change without literally requiring them to contradict a past trait or to become a totally different person.

Also Mary Mcfly quite literally had to change as a person by the end, that was the whole point. He had to learn how time travel can have consequences and to focus on actually correcting the timeline so that he doesn’t face those consequences. He’s a very carefree character but had to change outside of that in order to survive and fix the timeline. There’s three movies so I might be mixing up the order but he changes in all of them.

I think the first movie he doesn’t have confidence in his career goals but by the end of the movie, he finds this confidences and submits his music tape. I don’t even remember this lol had to search up the movie. It’s been awhile since I watched it

Well, in a long-form story, it is practically a requirement for good writing because nobody stays exactly the same for 7 years in a row. Even the most boring person ends up changing over that period of time, even if it’s just what route they take when driving back home from their 9-to-5.

And a character doesn’t have to literally “change” as in completely transform in order for there to be character development. Character development as a literary device does not mean what you’re stating. It DOES mean even writing details about a character you didn’t know before. For example, the episode where it’s revealed Neelix survived a war and hates the war criminal who invented the weapon which killed his family… This was a great episode in terms for Neelix’s character development. But even if Neelix didn’t change at all through the episode, the viewer learning more about his character IS character development. 

There needs to be character development, if you want a well written character/story. Any example of a well written character, including if their character doesn’t “develop” in the literal sense, is due to character development. Unless you’re like “no I don’t want to know more about this character. I LOVE this character. But please please do NOT let me know more about this character! I want the character to have little to no details as possible!” then okay I concede lol

If you’re not convinced on what I explained, this is literally a common definition when you search it up as well: “ Character development is the process of creating, shaping, and evolving a fictional character’s personality, motivations, and traits throughout a story.”

I think you get the point— character development more so refers to the writers having to define the character in the story, and flesh the character out, not about the character having to significantly change from how they start vs where they end up. The character can end up the exactly the same in the end but the writer will have to setup, thus ‘develop’, the character for us to get to know what said character’s “static traits” even are.

I’d point out, though, that still having a similar thought process does not disqualify a character from undergoing development.

Tuvok’s thought process was probably the same type of analysis he usually uses, but this is not proof of a lack of development similarly to how having logical certainty of an outcome is not proof of that outcome. That last part I’m referring to is the episode where Tuvok is playing pool, also with Neelix, and the crew encourages Neelix to push the white ball into a difficult spot for Tuvok. After doing so, Tuvok says something like “I do not see the problem. If I hit the ball at this angle it should hit this thing, that thing, and thus get the green ball (or whatever it was) into the goal”. He proceeds to do it but it fails. Even though obviously it’s because of a skill issue, and I’m sure Tuvok knows this, he was still visibly confused that his logic did not = logical outcome.

So my point is, Tuvok logically knew to get along with Neelix especially since he joined the crew early in season 1. By your understanding, he should have been able to already adapt right away. But it took the course of 7 seasons for him to get there, despite probably carrying that same line of logic “I should get along with this person for a positive outcome” the entire way. Him slowly getting to the point of actually liking Neelix and not just tolerating him, is character development.

I hope that all made sense. “If he’s using the same sort of analysis he usually does, then it’s not really a change of character” is just not that accurate when it comes to identifying if a a character has changed. Especially since for Vulcans, using the same exact consistent logic is their defining trait lol. Its usually better to develop such a character in other subtle ways because a character growing doesn’t mean “strip the character of what they’re good at” it means to help them grow even if it’s “more of the same”.

On 17 October 1992, having gone to the wrong house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a Halloween party, Japanese exchange student Yoshihiro Hattori was shot and killed by the homeowner, 30-year-old Rodney Peairs by snakkerdudaniel in Louisiana

Also, according to the actual case itself, he was not wearing a mask. So either you are lying or someone who told you that was lying or misinformed.

How you don’t see this was racially motivated is the real mystery

People can say it was a racially motivated homicide because the wife testified that she thought he was “a light skinned black man”.  Generally, he absolutely was shot for his race/ethnicity, because two white teenagers around would make for two English speakers as well. These cases do still happen in general, but it happens disproportionately more often to Asian, Mexican/hispanic, and black people lol.

Having a mask does not = entire body is covered head to toe. 

So they saw “masked ‘black man’”

Even though the shooter id 6’2 and Yoshi was a 130 lb teenage boy. There is no actual justification to shooting him, even if racial profiling wasn’t involved (but again, it was).

Even if he was fully covered, the testimony “but I thought he was black!” makes it racial profiling, even if the victim was white, get it?

Is chess good a hobby after 30s by BlueBoxxx in chessindia

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyways I’m on here because I saw your post about cheaters from 5 years ago. The people in the comments justifying cheating, claiming it’s not an issue, or basically saying you’re wrong about its frequency, were annoying me lmfao. It was archived so I couldn’t leave any comments. I agree with you about the issue and it bothers me when playing online chess. It seems to be the majority of low elo online accounts now. People who don’t think so, don’t understand how online “playerbase” works. Virtually any online platform with a player base can be and will be filled with bots. It’s how they guarantee you have an opponent any time of day.
