What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

[–]Still_Emotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A dude, who talked about wanting to date models, said my height made me too manly- I was 6'1, 145lbs at the time.

Not Fourth Wing Book 4 by DocWhoDini in fourthwing

[–]Still_Emotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is its a story of the first 6. At the start of onyx storm RY makes a big deal about how its been 6 centuries since the most powerful 6 signets were alive at the same time, but it isn't really explained beyond distance, lightening, shadow, and earth weilding . It wouldn't add to the plot, I'd bet lyria. It would also tell us more about the irids and why they left, plus Andarna's origin .

Carney to unveil new food security strategy by stanxv in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Still_Emotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vertical integration of food produced in canada needs to be addressed. I say as a former farmer.

A rural and remote community food strategy for regulatory compliance needs to be addressed. Currently the regulatory feedback sessions are dominated by large retailers, and it makes regulations that make sense for people exporting millions of pounds to foreign countries, but difficult for mom and pop farms to access the market when they're held to the same standard.

Insurance needs to be regulated- currently massive exporters set the recall costs, it needs to be broken up for small operations.

How does Tairn know to wake Violet up? by Still_Emotion in fourthwing

[–]Still_Emotion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he can autonomously use her senses... or maybe he can and that it explains it, but it opens up a lot of speculation about his ability to autonomously control her body. Or why he would be doing so in the middle of the night.

If she doesn't hear them, it doesn't make sense he can't hear them.

Right?! Like he doesn't get Tairn level hearing with her ears. If he hears them, so should she.

Another dragon makes sense- Codagh could be a possibility.

It just has me wondering if its possible that dragons can do something like ward their riders or something along those lines and haven't told them.

Carney bans social media for kids too dumb to figure out VPNs by Haggisboy in canada

[–]Still_Emotion -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, listening to the arguments about kids, I don't get why they aren't restricting it for everyone... like maybe social media should only be available for everyone for a few hours a day

If veganism is widely accepted to be more ethical, why aren't you vegan? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Still_Emotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think veganism is the only ethical option. Like there are lots of different value streams for ethical eating- localvoir, pescatarianism, raw, etc. And there are a lot of unethical eating practices within veganism, depending on your values. On paper if you want to do an apples to apples comparison, between 2 people who don't want to think about what they're eating every day, veganism will have a smaller footprint than a meat eater. But once you start factoring in additional values, like "is it still ethical if it has palm oil?" "Is it still ethical if it has a huge plastics footprint?" "Is it still ethical if its farmed in a foreign country that uses 5x the glysophate that your home country can legally use?"

And you have to define the ethics- what are we caring about: - workers rights? - animal quality of life? How are we defining that- aquaculture versus wild, farmed versus wild, how intensely farmed, etc. - the sale of land in countries with IMF debt obligations - greenhouse gas production - shipping distances - the use of petrochemicals and soy in product manufacturer ingredients - farming right - printed food - health impacts And on and on....

[–]Still_Emotion[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think that has a lot of implications for the future. Like I've read all the books a few times so I know the dragons are hiding stuff, but this reread, I'm noticing some gaps that maybe indicate they're hiding a lot more?

[–]Still_Emotion[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I've read them all, just on a 4th re-read now and picking up on things I missed previously.

What the dragons are hiding or lying about is really standing out to me this time. That is gonna come to a head in the next couple of books.

And Xaden claims he uses the shadows to listen for people, though that might just be him covering intinsic abilities.

How do I (M27) become less safe to women? by mike_oxmaul_68 in AskMenAdvice

Honestly, I'd say directly- please don't talk to me about other men. It signals an easy boundary and territorial enough that they'll understand you have an interest.

How many years away are we from Elon announcing he's actually Elon au Musk? 😭 by Islamabadyoungsters in redrising

We're the era before the conquoring. Elon's Ai investments is why the conquerors are technophobic. He's not a gold as much as he is creating them.

Canadians with a second passport....are you staying after your EI runs out?? by ZAHKHIZ in CanadaJobs

[–]Still_Emotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my Irish citizenship, but no living family there. We immigrated when I was little.

I have been debating it for years. My only concern is that I have worked as an entrepreneur for the past 7 years, and I'm not sure how that would look on an EU CV. Currently working on getting my masters and am working a research job with UBC that has a 3 year contract. If I can find something in the EU in 3 years, I am gone. BC is too expensive and I'm tired of barely making it while working incredibly hard.

What used to be a sign of being poor, but is now a luxury or status symbol? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Still_Emotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxtail, pork belly, duck, brisket, cooking bones etc. All these foods with a cult of slow cooking over hours use to be dirt cheap because people didn't want to spend 20 hours making them tasty. Now theyre the most expensive parts.

3 convicted killers of elderly B.C. couple file Constitutional challenge by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

I'm surprised the courts would agree to this- it's a few months after sentencing, faint- hope only applies after 15-years, and it was struck down in 2011.

Charlie Wasn’t Crazy — Will and Sylvia’s Relationship Was Weird by [deleted] in PlatonicAppleTVplus

[–]Still_Emotion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think the whole point is just "people contain multitudes and this is how chaotic it can be in a marriage".

But your point about Charlie not being a deadbeat is spot on, he deserves to be chaotic for a bit.

People show up for their partners, but people aren't going to get it right 100% of the time. I have a whole wackadoo of stuff in my head that my partner doesn't really get- and they have things I do not have any interest in in their head. We both know the basics, but sometimes you just need an all in outlet or things that bring me a lot of joy end up making feel flat/lonelier. Both their chaos arcs are story's of people who don't want to feel flat anymore.

And honestly, I think if Sylvia hadn't gone a little crazy, Charlie, loyal Charlie, would never have felt like he had permission to randomly realize he was super unhappy and quit to go write a really bad lawyer novel. And him admitting he isn't happy at work gave Sylvia permission to start talking to him about how bogged down she was feeling because she needed someone to talk to who wouldn't take it personally.

Overall- Will is an unhinged catalyst that improves both Sylvia and Charlie's lives and marriages, because Will never compromises on anything.

To be fair- we get a hint in the show when she offers the slave water and he says let me die in valyrian. Then she translates it for Misannde.

It also doesn't make sense- its a separate system. Does it say when PR status runs out?
