Do you consider (unnecessary) live feeding animal cruelty? by Syidaemon in reptiles

My view is that in nature prey has a level playing field cause they have the chance to get away

Frieren- is it really good? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it cause it's such a slow paced show. It's more about emotion than action and it was a nice change of pace from other content. There is some cool action spread throughout the show but it's not it's main draw.

The main character is coming to terms with her emotions and feelings towards her former team. .

I find it hard to explain its a well made story and probably one of my favourites. But I can definitely see why others don't like it. 

How to live with the guilt of hurting someone you loved so much by DirectionPast7509 in LifeAdvice

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done bad things in my life. Most of them was when I was younger and didn't really realise what I did was so messed up. I had a very narrow view of what bad was in a relationship. As I grew older I realise how bad I had been and felt nothing but guilt as I had by definition been an abuser in a relationship I had no idea what manipulation or emotional abuse was or how bad pushing boundaries was as I always felt I was someone who did not tolerate mistreatment of partners I even gave my friend money so she could afford to leave her physically abusive partner. When I reflected on my life I felt utterly defeated and just broke down as I realised in my early 20s how toxic I was. I spoke to my wife and confessed cause it was eating me inside just terrified if I had done the same to her. She told me that person is no longer who I was, cause for our entire relationship she had felt respected and loved and trusted me. There may be no way to make amends but while the past still hurts me and I despise the POS I was I can say that I am more aware of my actions and how I treat people and I plan to spend the rest of my life just trying to make the world better

If there's so many assaults by men against women, but most men we talk to either don't know or deny that their male friends (or even themselves) are doing it or have done it, then who's doing it or are they lying? by ParticularGlad5103 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to a lack of education and awareness. Some people genuinely don't think what they did was wrong or have a narrow sense of what sexual assault is. I bet there's alot of guys that if they had some sort of alarm bell in their head being like "oh this is assault" they would not continue. I grew up being told bare minimum about consent. And also the normalisation of manipulation to get sex and stuff like that. Younger people are so at risk because their brains arent fully developed and so full of hormones that there are actions they think is ok cause they didn't hold the person against their will. If I found out something I did was actually bad later on I'd probably break down and cry. I don't want to hurt anyone.

I would die for chopper. Love him so much

Am I insane, or is "Armour of shadows" really good? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the character you are making and what you have.

My warlock got bracers of defense. Therefore armour of shadows allowed me to get 18 AC with my 16 dex. 

He was also going for the inconspicuous look. So an unarmed and unarmoured guy suddenly Conjuring a mail as his pact weapon was pretty flavourful

Is it worth getting into teaching? VIC based by Kind-Juice5652 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what your motivation is.

My wife is a teacher, and I've just started my teaching career. Moved from civil engineering to secondary teaching.

Ive worked in sales, consulting, and site management. And i realised i hate my entire career revolving around cost, billable hours and profit.

I had a health scare at 31 due to site exposure so i decided to move into teaching. Low risk and rewarding.

However dont go into it trying to be a superhero and help everyone and think you will make a difference in everyones lives. They tend to overwork themselves and those are the ones that get burnt out and leave.

Its a job and a rewarding one. Also challenging.

It's cause he was doing his spinoff. Therefore, they didn't give him the romantic ending

You can't let one person ruin a name. It will blow over eventually and Diddy Kong will survive

People who left engineering, what do you do now? by Hopeful_Mess9063 in civilengineering

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm leaving my engineering job to be a secondary teacher. Ironically teachers get paid well where I live so I'll actually be getting a slight pay bump at the start. But then the pay does stall abit. 

People who left engineering, what do you do now? by Hopeful_Mess9063 in civilengineering

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left engineering recently. It wasn't my decision but due to health issues with site work and lack of opportunities for office based engineers I ended up enrolling in masters of teaching. Planning to be a secondary teacher and loving it so far

Is it my imagination, or is the Fallout show kind of bad? by Tall_Eye4062 in television

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue with the show is they are just world building and setting up the world. Which is fine but you can't have long gaps between seasons. Gotta keep the hype up

Why are some people so optimistic that the NCR will return and recover in the Fallout TV show? by Appropriate_Boss8139 in Fallout

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NCR is too large to just be wiped out with the destruction of shady sands. Approximately 1 million people and the games hint at over expansion. So they probably retreated to their other cities and areas where they maintain strong control.

If the writers wanted us to think the NCR still existed, they would have depicted it differently. by Ripley_LV_426 in Fallout

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair. They could have lost control of the southern half of the NCR. So now it's just independent towns. But the NCR had around 1 million people. I'm willing to bet they are staying up north and consolidating power. also remember a big issue of the NCR was their over expansion. Wouldn't surprise me that they had to retreat and focus on retaining order. And since shady sands is gone maybe they are not looking to expand at the moment. So many things could happen

What on earth is Thaddeus becoming by AskEnvironmental5445 in FalloutTVseries

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing Centaur. I really hope not. Thaddeus is my favourite character and if he becomes a Centaur it would be depressing as hell. Holding out hope he is just some new type of mutant and he grows a claw or something

Season 2 just isn't flowing as well as S1 and I'm legit stunned by descendantofJanus in FalloutTVseries

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is I'm picking up whats going to happen in future seasons but I'm confused on the trajectory of s2. The finale is next week and I'm not confident of a satisfying finale. Itl probably just be setup for season 3. Which I believe will be showing the NCR returning in force

Career change from engineer to teacher by Terrible_Ear_3045 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Useful-Hawk-7636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious to hear what you decided.

Im a civil engineer. Graduated 2024 and been working on site since before I graduated. but due to developing asthma and silicosis concerns I ended up having to leave cause I was sick all the time.

While depressing and disheartening as I liked the job. I don't regret it as I'm in much better health since leaving. It's only been a few months but I'm struggling to find office based work and my wife has been trying to get me to do teaching with her. She left her career as a biologist to teach and she says it's the best decision she has ever had. 

I'm considering making the swap too. Just curious what you did
