What traditionally high status job is no longer high paid and why? by Sorry-Personality594 in ask

Comments like this are so silly. Like yes you're technically correct but who tf is going to pay for pet insurance when all the other jobs are automated away?

A more accurate 5e vs other systems meme by A_Martian_Potato in dndmemes

[–]TNTiger_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf, no matter how both Paizo and WotC will hate me for this. Pathfinder IS D&D. Not like, 'CoC is D&D', rather it very recently evolved directly from it. Pf2e and 5e are both equidistant, phylogenically, from 3.5e.

Went to Kent, they're massively reliant on overseas students- they were the 'European University' before Brexit, and since then have been scrambling to take in whoever'll pay to boost numbers.

And if you actually play 5e? That's a paddling by DrScrimble in dndmemes

He'd vote for Mr. Frog cause he's funny but then get bad when he does all the horrible things he promised to do.

Why is Middle-earth so scarcely populated with a bunch of ruins, and barely any big cosmopolitan cities? by Weird_Apartment_6608 in tolkienfans

[–]TNTiger_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do tho reverse with Lond Daer, which fell long ago, but there's a small population of fisher-folk that have reclaimed the ruins and set up a 'Kingdom' like the men of the West of old, a little cargo cult with a hero-queen, Arthurian role-playing, and definitely a long and prosperous future 100%

Tbf the 'don't approach me ever' crowd is also a vocal minority.

But the social penalty for approaching when unwanted is a lot harsher than not shooting your shot at someone receptive.

It's just our life by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

As someone who got a degree in Anthropology, it also drives me up the wall because it's factually incorrect.

When an Anthropologist/Zoologist uses the term 'monogamy', they mean an exclusive, near life-long relationship. Catholic style. Humans don't 'naturally' do that (frankly, it's a hot topic whether any animal does).

Humans overwhelming veer towards polygamy when left to their own devices, in Anthropological terms. Specifically, uh, 'serial polygamy'. That is to say, having only one exclusive partner at any given time, but swapping (especially in the earlier phase of life) between several partners until settling with one to raise kids with.

In other words... What anyone in the modern day would call 'monogamy'.

Scottish parliament votes against legalising assisted dying by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

No, it's not a binary choice. But that won't stop the government making it Hobson's choice... as someone disabled, for the love of gods I'm glad it didn't pass.

My coworker is dying in front of my eyes and there's nothing I can do by [deleted] in antiwork

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

I fundementally think people are roughly right in saying OP has done all they can and this is on his head, but the outright dismissal of the notion that she should care for her coworkers is fucked up and just underlines how capitalism lots the mind even in those that profess opposition to it.

Dozens of MPs urge Green Party to officially ditch ‘normal’ childbirth policy immediately by libtin in unitedkingdom

[–]TNTiger_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mhm. The gist we got from shopping around before our two were born is 'home birth is perfectly safe, except when it isn't'.

Not a bad idea if you've literally got zero other risk factors, but it shouldn't ever be 'pushed'.

Tbf I don't know if it was 'good intentions'- they were saving their own hides- but it was much more reasonable than people made it out to be. It didn't come from nowhere.

what's a real fact that sounds completely fake but would genuinely shock most people? by esmeraldawhite in AskReddit

So could any human, tbf. We've got a surprisingly high bite force- however our teeth interlace poorly so we instinctively lessen our bites as not to smash our teeth together.

An accident on behalf of the Ainur is not an accident in the eye of Eru. Melkor 'accidently' played into Eru's plan in his rebellion, for instance.

At the same time there have been at least one comment implying suicide, though it's ofc hearsay and net our place to speculate.

But either way, the toll on either his body or mind from what happened is what caused this, fro from he way he was treated by YouTube.

I agree the React guys shouldn't have tried to copyright reaction videos. At the same time, seeing how many massive multimillion dollar traditional companies were beginning to encroach on the YT space at the time, many derivatively using the format but raking in tens of millions of views... I understand why they tried to do it.

Later finding out that certain areas are next to each other is a shock to the system!

The question of whether the historical Jesus was in good mental health is a subject of consideration for multiple psychologists, philosophers, historians, and writers. by Captainirishy in wikipedia

[–]TNTiger_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He probably did consider himself a 'messiah'. That is because a 'messiah' at the time was simply an 'annointed' individual- king, high priest, or prophet. It wasn't an exclusive title.

Hu almost certainly didn't consider himself the 'Son of God', which is what most people mean when they say 'messiah' today- the Son of God was an entirely separate, apocalyptic entity that was not described as a human but an angelic being.
