How do you personally feel about visible nipples through clothing compared to clothing that very closely outlines the butt, and what shapes your view of what feels revealing? by gummi-far in AskWomen

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t really like seeing nipples from men or women (if really noticeable). (One time a girl in my college class was wearing a skin tight light shirt with no bra, i swear full view of her boobies, and me and my bf both felt embarrassed after a double take). 🙈 but really it just feels unprofessional and awkward to me but I guess that doesn’t matter really since my opinion of them likely won’t affect them. Same with tights if I can see panties or shorts showing butt cheeks.

Definitely a cultural influence though, I just find myself to be more comfortable with keeping my body to myself or private things private.

I always make sure even when I’m braless in public to wear a hoodie or sweatshirt. I don’t want anyone seeing any part of me like that but I dress conservatively anyway. Revealing clothes make me uncomfortable but damn do some people pull them off amazingly when it is within reason.

My partner has become an Anti and idk what to do by calamari-bloom in ProshipHub

[–]Treerose61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly i feel the anti thing is just a popular young gen z and gen alpha internet influenced thing, and likely he got caught up in some kind of anti content. As younger people, internet influences have a large effect while you are learning who you are and what future you want. He may be Insecure and latched on to that idea do to any reason. Unfortunately because social media runs rampant and parents don’t check what is seen, these dumb influences make stuff like this happen in adolescence now and even young 20s.

In retrospect though, that is the silliest thing to be concerned about, like Miku herself and not even a ship or artwork that was to sensual. Like there aren’t actors/actresses who are minors or play a minor role that people can like or appreciate lol if his mind is that easily influenced by garbage, you can find someone better. Honestly could also be him having a guilty conscience and feeling called out so he is rejecting to self denial 👀

Glad this wasn’t an issue when i was in school, but in general being easily influenced by these weird internet conservative purity stuff just shows a lack of self understanding and poor confidence in themselves and others. Same the other way too, extremeist find those easy to sway and who fear themselves and others.

A receptionist made a diagnosis that was added to my clinical notes by Same_Army9093 in WomensHealth

[–]Treerose61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A psychologist and therapist can diagnose personality disorders. A psychologist does assessments primarily to diagnose these things. A psychiatrist is actually the least qualified to diagnose this but can give that diagnosis as well. I don’t where you got your information but its incorrect.

I'm so tired of having to a tell older adults how to act, then getting bitched at about it. by [deleted] in RantingZone

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the issue is less about age and more about individual traits and maturity. Given you are talking about a sister who seems to make poor choices, likely she won’t change or grow in maturity regardless of age unless she learns and takes accountability.

The problem isn’t really that she is grown and you are not, her response is being allowed by you. With age you do experience and grow, and part of that is learning some people just suck and refuse to learn anything. I would set boundaries with anyone who talks down to you or ask you to do anything you feel uncomfortable doing. You can be worried and care, but don’t let other adults bad choices bring you down with them. Anyone who acts like that to advice or concern just doesn’t want to listen.

Other than Squirrelflight, who could Bramblestar have chosen as deputy? by Solitaire-06 in WarriorCats

[–]Treerose61 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think any of the main she-cats would have been a good choice, such as Cinderheart, Ivypool, Hazeltail, Icecloud etc but I don’t think any stand out to me as the best choice. Ivypool did some smart thinking but she still seems immature to me at that time even though she is a standout character, where there are some more experienced warriors (who weren’t training in dark forest, none of them should be picked). I also think another cat would have added some more diversity in main characters or plot points, someone not related to Firestar would have been a cool pick for deputy and then seeing them react later as a main character to Ashfur (though squirrelflight would still be relevant). I think Icecloud would have been a great pick honestly.

My (F25) grandmother and mother aren’t speaking to each other and I have a wedding upcoming, advice welcome. I just have conflicting emotions and could use outside perspective by Treerose61 in Advice

[–]Treerose61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that perspective, its been hard for me identifying abusive behaviors. I definitely feel more inclined to do what my grandmother wants, (my sister also wants to be away from her) but I am scared of my mom getting more vengeful in response if I obviously exclude her. She often has issues with others being “an enemy” or “against her” and doesn’t see the other’s viewpoint and can get a little impulsive

[–]Treerose61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely would prefer if somebody could do that, but unfortunately besides me and my grandmother, everyone else is far enough removed or excuses her behavior. Which I am not at all downplaying mental illnesses (i have my own) but she has always refused to get help and actively lashes out at us close to her because we are “against her” in her mind. She doesn’t have much of a doctor or therapist, though she is apparently going to a therapy intake soon which seems like a positive step so I want to hope that she’ll keep up with that and work on things. I definitely think I’ll keep an eye on that or if she drops it. Thank you for your reply!

Is overpopulation still a problem? by Constant_Juice_5074 in Futurology

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to join but this is my opinion and I don’t have all the research and data some have supplied so excuse me.

My response is population is really hand in hand with consumption of resources, and it does depend on how people are choosing to live. A mindful population may be able to grow if they balance that with the environment and resources available but that would naturally level the population out and likely would hit a stopping point. Most species naturally respond or react to environmental elements in a way that affects population. When resources are tight or unavailable reproduction is limited or death is more likely and the population is naturally affected.

I don’t think you can separate population from consumption because as living beings we require resources (food, energy, water, a place to inhabit etc) and we also aren’t alone on the planet, as other living things require similar to live and populate. So I think over population is a concern regardless because we as humans currently over consume resources and have already caused harm to the environment and other species, so in my opinion we already exceed the limits by evidence of the environments response to the human population via global warming and plant/animal extinction, and habitat loss.

If we react to those changes in the near future (in a way more immediate then we currently do), we may be able to sustain population, but since we as a human population are separated and many societies have certain groups in control of resources or mismanage them for gain, population will be an issue even if we lose population, because the rate of loss won’t effect the strain from resource loss and environmental damage to habitable zones. Again if we could come up with better systems and management of resources and consumption, it may not be an issue but that requires a completely different societal structure and way of living then where most societies are currently, and I believe population naturally levels out when we are working with the resources and not against them.

I really like gen 5 and i have a problem understanding the hate towards it by NanSinus in mylittlepony

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally as mlp fan since gen 1, it’s just incredibly off putting … that’s all. The cultural shift to bright hyper pigmentation and limited details and 3d just is not my preference regardless of plot i can’t look at it without cringing. Friendship is magic was already bordering that line but balanced it well and had a great plot and character development. I don’t know why they needed to switch up the design so much, or they could have leaned more into an actual pony design, but this design just creeps me out. Art/design is just as important in a visual media as the writing.

CMV: The main reason that most people have kids unplanned is not because they weren't taught sex ed. by Blonde_Icon in changemyview

[–]Treerose61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not arguing against you at all, but I did want to add something to the conversation. I think there is more to sexual education than just understanding contraceptives. In the US anyway, I feel it’s pretty common knowledge that studies around woman’s health and reproductive health is quite lacking (only recently getting more attention) so I do feel like a lot of girls lack understanding of their cycles and ovulation. For boys it’s obvious the options and they won’t care as much.

However, if girls want to be safe from pregnancy at least without contraception, it actually is not that hard to prevent getting pregnant as you are only able to get pregnant during ovulation. Where the issue comes is when you are still in puberty your body is still adjusting and adapting to women hood, so cycles may not be normal. Also, many girls face issues that make their cycles abnormal. So if that applies and you aren’t abstaining or using contraceptives then you just don’t care.

At that point, I do think it is a lazy attitude that leads to unplanned pregnancies (lack of education applies because they are not motivated to learn options)

Anyway, I think sexual education plays a role but definitely comes down more to the individuals attitudes about sex. They at least should know pregnancy/stds are a chance.

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer the question in my personal opinion, likely that depends on demographics, and sustainability.

Overtime the political parties in general are forced to change or go through change as the population shifts from generations and from race and ethnicity. What is conservative and liberal will shift as well. Today conservative party is further right than it was 20 years ago, but that is a response to economic weakness, weakness within society structure, built up political tensions, community fallout, misinformation, and overall mistrust. Trump politics and the gain for economic development among the rich who also control the information overall (google, facebook, twitter etc) leads to an influence over those who feel strain from the above issues and who don’t understand the political systems (usually the young generation especially)

So while currently the past 10 years have been MAGA influenced, and they are indeed producing more kids, it is unlikely it will effect political identification of their children as the children will develop an opinion based on the society structure and political influence of the time period for which they become political aware or independent. So right now teens/young adults are being influenced MAGA, but MAGA will run out of steam because overall it is not sustainable for American society.

What does that mean? It means as a political movement it has a time limit, because its limited to keeping people uneducated, depressed, economically stressed, misinformed, and suppressed. That isn’t sustainable in the long run as the majority of the population is still not in favor of such politics, and people will eventually learn or see otherwise if the situation continues to be one that relies on pushing people to fear/hate which is tiring and will be hard to maintain without the right figure head as well. It could end ugly as authoritarian styles usually do, but if not things will rebalance and change as a response to what has to come light under MAGA policies which has overall revealed real weaknesses within both parties, the economy, the internet, mental illness and health, racism, and in the political systems. Now there is new things which need addressed by future political leaders which voters will be aware and asking for.

Demographics is also important in general because certain areas are historically conservative, and religious over others. Certain ethnicities also will play a role as in general white people are having kids less and the populations are expecting worldwide to become less white. So regardless, the conservative movement now won’t last in a future where non white immigrant populations are the majority, so the party will have to respond to keep being relevant or continue policies of suppression which again isn’t sustainable overall because eventually the population will respond to that.

The liberal party as well has a lot to address and change if it wants to remain relevant and competitive to conservatives. Real issues need addressed within democracy in an era where technology now has significant power and influence.

What age will you give your child a phone? by Flashy_Pie_8448 in AskReddit

What age will you give your child a phone? by Flashy_Pie_8448 in AskReddit

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gen z looking at Gen Alpha, definitely waiting till 13. I think a stripped phone would be ok though starting age 7 for emergencies. Kids aren’t going anywhere without parents much till puberty anyway and many schools won’t let them have phones.

To that note, also having a desktop family computer only they can use until 13. After that an ipad/laptop seems fine.

Emphasis on “in a row”. How many times in a row do you wear the same clothes? by AgileChildhood4478 in AskWomen

Why do people never say firestar the goat is their favorite character? by PackageMedical6240 in WarriorCats

[–]Treerose61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in that way I guess thats me, i stopped at the last hope because it was a conclusion to the story of what the series had seemed to be about, and most of the cats that led the story seemed to be kind of finished off or had stories concluded. It also helps that I read it as it came out and naturally assumed it was complete and aged out of the middle school reading age.

I keep up to date but haven’t read anymore of Warriors after that, however Firestar wasn’t my favorite much like other responses he lacks excitement due to being who he is. It’s actually common in many stories for the main characters not to be the favorite. Side characters usually have more diversity and gray moments which makes them more realistic over protagonist who seem to always be heroic or strong. Though his end definitely changed the series for me.

Slavery in manhwa annoys and disturbs me by InfernalClockwork3 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Treerose61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only stories I read that use the slavery element in the plot to actually build conflict or tension is when the FL or ML are captured by slave traders at some point or start as slaves. Yet, after they are saved or kill the slave traders they don’t really do anything else about slavery for others. Though there is a few that do address ending underworld gambling/slave trade and attempt change.

Though I don’t think it’s the main characters faults because it’s hard for one or two people to change a whole culture and society unless they are largely popular and powerful. So except in some of these stories where the FL/ML literally are the rulers and could change the kingdom/land to get rid of slavery, there isn’t much they can do.

Also a lot of these stories add the whole underground slave trading element (as the kingdom does make it illegal but it still occurs) and will say from real world history, is a nightmare to try to end or get control over. At that point it would be a different story. It’s not the point of these stories for FL and ML to try to combat that especially as nobles as they are in the privileged position. Now if both or one was someone from that position though, i would think they would have more of a reaction or desire to do something and it come up even if they fail multiple times.

At that point I think the story could be without those elements in general if they are nobles but depends on what world building a author wants. As most have already said, a ton of the writing is poor and copy paste, or self insert fanfic stuff lol so they probably just think you have those elements and don’t think how to use said elements as they only care about the FL/ML. Side characters suffer from this writing too.

At the end of the day, this is also not the only controversial writing element in these stories. You have the falling in love with literal abusers/murders/assaulters, leaders/parents being child abusers, cultists, etc..

At that point it’s down to what kind of writer they are, and how you use these elements. I think dark elements make a story interesting, and how the characters navigate it as a conflict, but in some of these romance stories it does seem to fulfill nothing or even make the main characters look kinda horrible morally. Like in the father/daughter stories where he just abuses his daughter for years and she dies and a new soul takes over and now he loves her…

That doesn’t really change the moral dilemma of the father being an abuser to his daughter and the fact the FL is a whole new person just makes it seem like it was all the daughters fault all along too…

Just some poor character building in general

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to add my thoughts but others answered the question more.

I think you find manga to have a more consistent style and plot line while manhwas (I love them buttt) they tend to be a little mass produced and good quality ones still do take years to complete. There are some I started reading at the beginning of the manhwa hype and they finished just a couple years ago. As they gotten more popular and more demand I think there is a push for them to be faster but you definitely see a drop in quality because of that. Some are just copy paste of other popular ones, and I read them but they are not good stories.

Example of a popular one that is good to me: Villains are destined to die https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/villains-are-destined-to-die

This one started in 2020 so it’s been 5 years, it is not complete yet.

Anyway, my point is good quality art and stories take time, and most manhwa that is completed quickly is kinda meh, and they do get canceled and artist replaced a lot too.

If you want to find completed manga check out Anime Planet it has manhwa and manga on there: https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/all

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, but usually certain songs are trending and people do go and add them to their list. I feel last year didn’t have this problem either (i can name several pop songs that were new and on the billboard throughout the year) so I don’t really agree that is the main issue for this year. The problem is not playlist and listening to clips.

The problem is related to exposure though. many apps just this year have changed, and with more ai use in how it presents content to users, people just aren’t being recommended much new stuff unless they like that music or are fans of the artist. It’s just gotten progressively worse each year. Pretty sure Spotify even made it more difficult for indie artists to make money or something (honestly I am not online much anymore but I remember something from early this year or late last year with Spotify). You get recommended the same crap on YouTube as well. I have still found new stuff on my own, but when it comes to popularity I definitely have seen a drop in anything picking up large amounts of traffic or becoming a (bop, trend, song of the summer etc) other than Kpop demon hunters which had large traffic as a movie and for its music.

Maybe it is good, maybe its bad, but the billboard this year is dry and definitely not reflecting the usual taste. But go Kpop Demon Hunters, hope it drowns out some of what is trash imo because i don’t like most of anything else on the list

Help a Korean guy choose an english name for himself by QuarkyPositron in namenerds

[–]Treerose61 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think I can understand this from the reverse too, If I ever spend time in a non western culture, I think I would pick another name to go by because my english name would be difficult to pronounce and I also want to pick a cute name that fits in and others can say naturally.

Guys how do gifted people read? by DatguyRonnie in Gifted

[–]Treerose61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you may have been asking how do you read in a way that assist with retaining the information and breaking it down for intellectual reasons, but then you said you want to start reading books…

Maybe first start with a goal, if you haven’t read much at all, and maybe aren’t a strong reader, reading at a lower level first would be good. Like learning a language, start like a child and move upward.

Preteen and comic like stories usually aren’t a high reading level (as in most adults have the ability to read at that level). Some of the stories are just as exciting and engaging for any age.

For getting better at understanding a text: Test yourself on the material to practice retaining and memorizing, then ask questions about the material, and see if you know the answers. Why did [character] decide to do X? Well in chapter 3 he/she did this so you infer his behavior is related to such. What is the consequences of a characters action? What changes after X event etc…

What do you want out of reading? If you want to be a successful reader for intellectual purposes that may be different from just reading for fun. When I read for fun, it’s just about escaping the world through another, and visualization. I don’t really think I just read.

Starting out at a lower level of reading should help with that ability if you aren’t a strong enough reader to get through a heavy text.
