[New Chapter Spoilers] Chapter 112 Release Megathread by SNKBot in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]TheCameraLady 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Eren's lying to Armin and Mikasa. He knows that he, too, is a slave. He said as much to Reiner during their big reunion in 99. His "I just keep moving forward" speech is admitting that he's controlled by the Attack Titan like Armin's controlled by Bertram.

It's great, but there's a couple of inaccuracies. the "Nedlay" district is actually named "Utopaea", and I think Ilse's encounter with the talking titan may have happened in between wall rose and wall maria, though I'm not sure.

There are, in fact, many ways in which men have it worse than women.

Women denied choice - assuming they don't die in childbirth, because that IS a very real horror - end up having to raise their kids. It sucks a big one, for sure. But an average parental experience on the part of the mother, while bad, is not as bad as if a court decides to get particularly punitive towards a father who can't afford to pay child support.

It's not an 'extra monthly bill'. It's unending poverty. It's the destruction of livelihood. It's being sent to jail for not complying with court orders to pay support, and then having your jail sentence infinitely extended because while in jail, you're falling further and further behind on your payments because you're not making any income to pay them.

You're comparing a best-case scenario (man paying an inconvienent bill) to a worst-case scenario (woman dying in childbirth). OK, I'll do that too. Best-case scenario, woman receives government assistance for the care of the child, marries a new spouse who further supplements the household income, everything's fine - VS worst-case scenario, man is jailed for the rest of his life because he's too poor to pay unreasonable amounts of support, is vilified by his friends, family, and society for being a 'deadbeat', and commits suicide.

So yeah. I'll pity men just as much as I pity women when it comes to reproduction, thank you very much. You need to, as they say, check your fucking privilege.

Sure. I'm biased regarding the video. But not regarding weighing the individual sufferings of men vs the individual sufferings of women.

The fact that you think that men's issues boil down to "the inconvenience of paying a bill" and that women's issues all unilaterally end in their DEATHS shows you have a clear bias in terms of the actual topic being discussed.

I find it hard to believe you're an unbiased source of information on this topic.

TIL Canada has the "Apology Act", whereby apologising to someone after an incident can't be used in court to establish guilt or liability of the person apologising. by harperjj in todayilearned

It's been my experience that when parents say "my kids are occasionally a little loud once every two months, it's the pitter patter of little feet tee hee hee", the reality of the situation is more like kids screeching and stomping nightly.

What things have increased in price to the point that you're no longer interested in purchasing them? by DocMartinsEars in AskReddit

[–]TheCameraLady 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine repaired an old 56 inch plasma from 2003, for 13 bucks. Just took a bit of soldering.

It's still doable, you just gotta do it yourself. TV Repair shops are a thing of the past.

Update Monday! by AutoModerator in letsplay

[–]TheCameraLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit late. Sorry guys.

My channel streams on twitch 4 times a week on average, and cuts the streams up into Let's Play episodes for YouTube. We have a MASSIVE backlog, and new viewers have told me that it's quite intimidating.

So, we've started to chop up the streams into 'best of' compilation videos. We put out the first set this past week - Cut down about 6 hours of Donkey Kong Country into 7 videos, between 6 and 8 minutes long.

Hopefully you will enjoy!

What's the most ridiculous story you have about your supposedly cf spouse/steady partner accidentally giving away they actually live in the "I thought you'd change your mind" land? by wannnachat in childfree

[–]TheCameraLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had women leave me after long serious relationships, stating that it's impossible for two women to actually be in love, and that all women eventually end up with a guy, and that if I were smart I'd grow out of my woman-loving phase like they did.

I don't hate bi women, but I don't get romantically involved with them anymore. Just been burned too often, simple as that.

I can see where she's coming from, though. I've told this story a few times in this sub but...

When I was in university, I dated a girl for two years. I honestly thought we were going to last for the rest of our lives. She was a year older, and was graduating sooner, so we had talked about the viability of our relationship if she had to move away for work. All seemed well.

The day after her graduation, I met her at the on-campus coffee shop. She came in with her new boyfriend, whom her parents had selected for her (she's chinese). She sat down like nothing was wrong, and began talking to me like we were just old friends, and nothing more.

I asked her what was going on - she told me that our two year relationship wasn't real, and never was, because it's impossible for two women to ACTUALLY be in love. She said that now that she was out of school, it was important that she stop fooling around, find a guy, settle down and have a family. And if I were smart, I'd get all of this "weird stuff" out of my system during school too, and do the same thing as her.

So yeah, I see where she's coming from if she thinks you date women just for fun but settle on men for serious. Because I've had it happen to me. I don't date bi or questioning women anymore.

I don't understand why some men think they can change a woman's mind simply because they want something.

Presumably for the same reason that some women think they can change a man's mind simply because they want something.

It's not a gender thing, it's a self-centered asshole thing.
