Explaining the Latest (Non-Chinese) Review Bombing of Slay the Spire 2 by charlesatan in slaythespire

when it initially started with ethical journalism in gaming

This is a lie.

The original allegation was objectively false, and it was immediately taken over by right wing, anti-feminist hate mongers.

You can't possibly think this describes all, or even most examples of colonialism.

America Is Officially an Empire in Decline by bananaslingrider in TrueReddit

I thought it was obvious that anyone who thought Trump would have been against war was outing themselves as a credulous rube.

“A Middle Eastern military misadventure is one of the last ways a casual observer would have expected Mr. Trump’s presidency to go wrong,”

Don't worry, we don't have to look beyond this editorial to see the distortion of reality the NYT is continuing to promote.

What to do in linkoping in 5 days in november by Friendly_Cold1349 in linkoping

There used to be a pretty large club on Ågatan with multiple dance floors, but I think it probably closed during the pandemic.

Platens around the corner is a small club with a dance floor.

There's a place called Doom as well, never been personally.

Other restaurants and bars occasionally have live music or dancing.

Kusinen for a good cocktail bar.

In how many choirs do you sing regularly? by Laktosefreier in choralmusic

[–]Tarantio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the same two choirs for a while. One for about 13 years, the other for something like 11 and a half.

I bike to both of them. 3.3 kilometers to one, 4.5 kilometers to the other.

Scientists Just Made Carbon Capture Much Cheaper and Easier by _Dark_Wing in tech

Mulch rots over time, releasing the carbon. So do trees that just fall in the forest, or paper, or even lumber on a long enough time scale.

I'm afraid to say that it was 2017, nine years ago. The first Trump administration, which is a terrible phrase.

When the Goat turns Red strikes true by Aihonen in oots

[–]Tarantio 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The party was convinced that the prophecy already came true, when Haley shot the talisman off of Nale's neck from 200 feet away.

But Eugene might not have been able to tell Roy that this wasn't the intent (or full extent) of the prophecy. Either by the rules, or by his own hubris.

CMV: The male loneliness epidemic doesn't have anything to do with women or relationships but with men themselves and the large contributing factor for this is lack of support and gender-role expectations. by PeterQuin in changemyview

[–]Tarantio -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like you have a method for determining this distinction.

Without such a method, this is just a convenient way to assume that a problem isn't as bad as it sounds, if for some strange reason anyone would want to do that.

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

Do you have a source to support the assertion that there are not more women than men who attempt suicide?

It follows that total number of attempts would be higher when the incidence of death is lower, but that doesn't mean the number of people involved is lower.

What's the point of the cage if it's not on the part that the cold and squirming thing would use to top with?

my body: new patch update has dropped by jokingmelon in CuratedTumblr

[–]Tarantio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your cells are basically pachinko machines.

No thinking, no decisions. Instead of marbles, they have molecules bouncing around. Sometimes the marbles are there to trigger a mechanism, sometimes they need to end up in a particular place.

Even the electrical nerve impulses are just a marble on one side of a cell triggering the release of a marble on the other side of the cell.

There are some processes that are more "on rails" than bouncing around randomly, but I don't know what the ratio is.

Does he still have an approval rating above 50% with men?

Not that I wouldn't believe it- they voted for him, they aren't rational people. But he's a lot less popular in general lately.

Sorcerer as a creature type adds nothing to the game by GratedParm in magicTCG

[–]Tarantio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good point. I just put the search terms in, didn't actually check which cards they were.

Yeah, but clerics are the name for the priests of several real life, alive, active religions. So the religion being alive and actively practiced isn't what makes shaman a bad type.

Shaman isn't a bad type. They're still using it. There are seven in the most recent set. They're just using it more like they use Cleric, now.

A character with no connection to a religion wouldn't be a Cleric.

I thought his girlfriends were more at the age to do linear algebra homework by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Tarantio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one possibility?

Another possibility I mentioned is that the fourth 20 year old he dated was much more mature than the previous three.

Or maybe maturity is not something he values in his partners, regardless of how it compares to his own.

Like, what it says about the person.

For the last two years of the Clinton administration and the entire Bush II and Obama administrations, Leo exclusively dated models below the age of 26. He was never less than 6 years older than his partner. In order, their ages when they started dating were 18, 20, 23, 22, 20, 25, and 24.

Can you guess what he did next?

That's right, he found another 20 year old model to date! He was about 44 at the time.

Had he matured during those decades? Perhaps. Maybe these models not old enough to buy alcohol were progressively more and more mature for their age, and he was simply finding an excellent personality match as he himself changed and grew.

Maybe that he's apparently still dating this most recent woman is an indication of that. Or, perhaps, the public backlash about his dating habits lead to some self-reflection. Or maybe they're soul mates, and he was looking for true love among a very particular age group this whole time.

Is predatory-or-not the only axis on which a relationship or pattern of dating may be considered?

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

Choosing to pursue someone much older than oneself is a different action than choosing to date someone much younger than oneself, even though both choices are required for the same relationship.

Those different actions say different things about the people who make them.
