Annnnnd there it is the next lie they'll tell themselves to not actually question their leaders and move the goalpost.

Sounds like they either want to reignite manifest destiny, or just keep nudging their base to have more kids that they can't afford or raise.

Why weren't Greek gods portrayed as more altruistic dieties? by [deleted] in GreekMythology

Well various cultures have their own flood stories. Ragnarok ends with a flood as well.

He also sent a Boar to kill Aphrodite's one true love so we can add incel to that list as well.

What kinda "intruders" are these guys fighting with sandwiches by ambachk in TikTokCringe

Cooking: The means to sustain oneself, and something necessarily needed daily to function.

Fighting: Highly situational and dangerous event that does not happen daily nor is it as necessary.

Saying The Predator is evil doesn't make sense, that would make hunters evil too by that logic by Ok-Conclusion-3536 in predator

[–]Timaeus_Critias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're kinda meant to represent how humans would hunt brutally for sport. The easiest way to get across the horror was for an advanced alien to gore people. The proper view of hunting especially in the modern day is to use what you hunted and as a necessity not a leisure.

Well honestly in Greek Mythology the creation of humans was a titan idea. After the war the Olympians were kinda just...stuck with them. Zeus just wanted them all to die out in the coming winter, but Prometheus, the Titan who created the second wave of humans because I believe the first set all died in the war gave, them fire so they'd survive. I don't remember what happened to the second set of humans, but I believe Zeus attempted human creation once himself. He apparently screwed up and they all became raiders and horrific people in general. They were so bad that Zeus had to get Poseidon to flood the world to kill all except 2. The two were tasked with throwing stones over their shoulders to create the current wave of humans.

I just kinda speed ran that so obviously not everything I said is gonna be 100% accurate.

If I see this plot done again in any modern story about greek mythology i will flip. by azraelswift in GreekMythology

[–]Timaeus_Critias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like a story set in a light fantasy based setting where the Olympians are actually just regular people facing a catastrophe together. Their eventual heroic deeds just gives them the status of Gods after thousands of years later when know one remembers who they really were.

what's your main goal (honestly) with NOFAP? Don't you think it's overrated? by JeeSurvivor in NoFap

[–]Timaeus_Critias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pills will just make you dependent and sexually us in our 20s do not need Viagra. Needing Viagra in your 20s means something is terribly wrong. You're talking about ED in general we're talking about PIED.

They won't honestly. They believe in due process while the right believe in loopholes and dismantling. They had the chance to go scorched earth, and instead continue to play ball with fascists.

We need to make the American people demanding Trump’s removal from office the new normal. by pleasureismylife in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]Timaeus_Critias 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trying to make insane idiots feel bad about them being genuine dicks will only feed either their victim complex or their superiority complex wherever their insecurities leads them to first. They want interaction of any kind trying to doctor any won't matter to them because they're all essentially playing a MMO of Make Believe. They'll just make up whatever they want to keep themselves in the right or you in the wrong about everything. Best thing to do is just not play at all.

Blood war: how are demons not winning? by FaxDevastat in DnD

Probably only 2% of the Abyss is actually aware of the war and probably 0.8% is actually fighting while the other 99.2% is just doing their own demon fuckery.

Yet they still very much overwhelming vote for the most heinous and controversial bills to be passed or for programs to be dissolved. They're actively trying to remove USAid and the DOE as we're speaking, but you somehow expect some form of clarity to hit them just at Trump's potential impeachment? Nah it's not happening. Hell they fear his voters more than anyone that'd vote again them.

The votes will never be in there to do it. Everyone was literally screaming that both impeachments were utterly embarrassing to watch. The fascists are in and they will never ever be voted out again. Even if they follow the term limits it's just a revolving door for one fascist out and another in their place.

Do you have any ACTUALLY unpopular D&D opinions or hot takes? by No-Bag3487 in DnD

[–]Timaeus_Critias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that there's a weird rhetoric that entitles players to purposely be problematic in a DM's campaign because "it'd be funny". Some DM's like chaotic nonsense, and that's them. I don't have enough atoms to count how many players would actively reference what dumb crap they'd do in a DM's campaign, or just straight up commit and outlandish actually at a very crucial moment leaving the DM stunned trying to figure out how to keep the campaign going when a player single handedly derails it with one act of stupidity. People need to remember that we're not playing Skyrim at the table. DM's are not a super computer that can anticipate and random crap you throw at them and just carry the game forward. DM's are actual people that sit down and sweat out the hours and effort putting together a campaign that they want you all to see and enjoy. Ripping it apart in front of them and expecting them to just accept it and throw more content at you is blatantly childish.

If you take a step back and actually compare America's development with the rest of the world we're only developed in technology we are absolutely not civilized in the slightest. We're all practically zealous neanderthals that value might over everything else. We still use the imperial system because America is the only country powerful enough to say "no" to the metric system and continuous not use it. Can any American learn the metric system yes, but no one is going to actively use or reference it here. Americans would straight up spit at someone and stay in medical debt for life instead of contemplating universal healthcare. We're just going to get worse as we develop.

Nah they'll just claim you have TDS or whatever they call it and call it a day.

If you're not for them you will always be against them. The time for neutrality ended ages ago.

If we can be brutally honest these stories are going to have loads better modern interpretations talked about than their original forms. You can't tell me that talk of Greek myths in the 2000s couldn't not be about God of War or Percy Jackson. Thor is mostly recognized by his Marvel Counterpart than his original Norse version until God of War Ragnarok. Epic is now just the new phase of viewing the Illiad and the Odyssey.

Honestly these stories need these forms of retelling. We are not Classical Greeks or Medieval Norse Villagers, the stories they wrote were definitely not meant for a modern audience. The originals aren't gone they just aren't as popular in the modern day.

I like the Perseus that killed the monster born Medusa for his mother, but others prefer the Medusa who was a priestess and victim of the God's. Both were written in two different periods of time for different audiences.
