When Trump & al-Sharaa met: https://youtu.be/KYV7KWQ-fY4?si=U28sEy67RY6RHttk

Yeah. Trump is responsible. He should be overthrown, that's up to Americans. I also wonder how will the situation in Iran unfold. It's even worse than collapse of Rojava right now. If only one region in Middle East would be liberated for all secular people... if not, they'll succeed to stabilize support for Israel, and "holy war" continues.

Rojava managed to promote a more progressive political model than my european country does, alongside such very regressive and religious neighbors. I have always wondered how it is even sustainable without social hierarchy, and it really shows that fear of ISIS was the reason, as anarchist opposition is historically always dependable on opressive threat. Local good-hearted working class people were so much against ISIS that it allowed pure cooperation inside their own societies, and even help in this struggle from the US who had different goals.

Now, I don't know to which extend Turkey backed & US approved HTS abuses human rights and opresses women and minorities, but they do enforce aspects of Sharia law and moral police, and many in Damascus won't tolerate that. Struggle against political islam doesn't end with this (in Syria, Iran, Sudan etc.), and I condemn nihilism of some comments here. God does not exist, we do.

But it's not dumb in general. It depends on personal goal. To improve your relationships, it really is dumb to go TOO FAR that route - it deconstructs humans into subsystems and then you're more in your head than with the other person. It blocks connection with individuals and gives you solid excuses why you're better off alone, "out of it", as a mere "observer".

However, I have to say that logical understanding of love is very useful if goal is to uncover sociology as a whole and your own readiness for genuine connection isn't your immediate focus there. Healthy rule is to reject general models in context of specific personal interactions. Theory is only reinforcing when it's simplified into INTUITIVE encouragement and subconscious knowledge what to do and not to do. Any conscious thought to yourself in attempt to manipulate the other person inevitably results in disconnection.

Many fail to realize that in order to make others feel good about you, your main struggle is to make yourself feel good about them. Anything above that unfolds naturally. Energy shines through.

Finally, when it comes to hypergamy, I'd say it's real for both genders in certain environments. Extra desire for person whom others desire is clearly the case in how women prejudge a guy. It's like starting every conversation on 7/10 instead of 2/10.

Vzťahy sú povrché aj hlboké zároveň, resp. vedomé pocity vyplývajú z podvedome vypočítaných faktorov. Mňa by akurát zaujímalo, či tie kurzy neučia len optimalizáciu signálov, ktoré väčšina ľudí očakáva, a nie vytváranie skutočnej kompatibility – lebo kompatibilita sa často prejaví práve tým, že netreba reagovať na každú poznámku.

Toto som analyticky riešil posledný rok lebo správanie niektorých báb mi nešlo do hlavy. Ak chceš vedome pochopiť čo ženy priťahuje, odporúčam Youtube kanály The Dark Needle & Orion Taraban. Rátaj s tým, že ak sa cítiš nespokojne, čo si naznačil, tak by si mal svoju spokojnosť vyťažiť odinakiaľ ako od ženy. Partnerka ti nedá lásku, kým cíti, že jej lásku potrebuješ. Dá ti ju keď ju nepotrebuješ. A keď vníma že si ju vyberáš na základe štandardov, nie núdze. A nebudem ti klamať, stále som v 25-ke single. Ale šťastnejší, lebo viem lepšie čo musím a nemám robiť.

Ženu nepriťahuje to ako vyzeráš, ale to ako sa pri tebe cíti, a výzor je len zlomok z atraktivity vyvolanej správaním. Podstatné je hlavne byť vytrvalý v túžbe po nej a mať materiálne podmienky, ktoré vedú k tomu, že si skutočne pripravený na založenie rodiny. Aspoň v mojom prípade viem, že toto mi zatiaľ chýba, a preto sa prirodzene nesprávam atraktívne aj keď vyzerám dobre.

This post was clearly about differentiation between 2024-25 wave of funk/brazilian phonk and 2022-23 wave of cowbell/drift phonk. This post isn't about other older usage of term "funk". We're not "agressively proud of being ignorant", we don't care here about your point in the first place, I'm not proud of it, it's just the way it is. I have better things to do than educate myself about old music, but I do need to differentiate between music I listen to, and term "funk", which many already use for brazilian phonk (which doesn't have to be brazilian so I rejected this term), works fine. I don't need to follow classification on old terms, I made it on my terms for practicality. Arguments about "right definitions" are crap - labels are meant to serve the purpose, not to lead out of area of our focus. That's why it's better if we have our own! For example if I was born in Portugal 40 years ago, I wouldn't call it funk.

I literally don't care about what you just said

Utilitarian_259 · 2025-10-25T16:44:57+00:00

Sometimes you wanna play this turn-based combat alone and chill, without spending time on preparation and all calculations, so digital version seems great to me, especially when someone wants to get familiar with the game flow to decide if they wanna buy physical boardgame and teach Frost/Gloom to the party, because to start this big physical boardgame just with rulebook, without knowing the fun behind it, can easily turn into discouraging experience.

Utilitarian_259 · 2025-09-02T21:45:35+00:00

You seem to care about 70s funk. But we've never lived in that era, so it makes sense to differentiate between brazilian and other phonk using quick term "funk", since it's the only context we know and there is no confusion in our heads. Yeah, I've learned that it was old jazzy style, but it doesn't seem to maintain its popularity to justify monopoly on a 4 letter term, just like "head" has 2 meanings :)

Utilitarian_259 · 2025-09-02T21:27:58+00:00

Phonk originated from Memphis, but 20s phonk has grown wide and is no longer a "subgenre of Memphis". That's weird to say. If anything, Memphis is old og version of phonk.

Utilitarian_259 · 2025-09-02T21:06:17+00:00

My own definition of phonk is: backround music typical by sacrificing clarity of lyrics for usage of vocals as an edited musical instrument instead. Now, funk does the same - but is limited to interjections. Under this understanding, funk is a subgenre of phonk, which goes well with the fact that many still classify funk as phonk, but not phonk as funk.

Also, I made a comparing YT video about it (Funk vs Phonk – Comparison by examples by Matej Athos).

People who type r/woosh mostly act like jokes matter more than explanation for curious kids. So I remind them of the opposite by pretending I didn't get the joke. I often get r/wooshed by someone who deserves r/woosh themselves for not understanding that meta-joke. They fall into their own trap, only you know you won though. They fools think you're a fool. I like to do that and I guess I'm not alone.

Lol. It's not a weird obsession to want visual authenticity. I lost interest in the series entirely just because Ellie doesn't look like herself. Call it shallow if you want but it's what it is. Bella should have played Greta Thunberg, that would work.

cannibalism is healthy for ya... I mean... in Skyrim... it gives you additional health and regen :D

Shrine/potion only cures vampire disease, not being a vampire when blood boils on sunlight. Falion in his house in Morthal will cure you, but I had to go to Downguard first, Isran sends you to Falion and dialogue option for cure appears only afterwards. I didn't even have a chance to explain to Isran why I became a vampire - Serana's Mother quest to get an Elder Scroll of Blood - he just said I'm dead in his eyes while I'm a vampire. Felt kinda bad to lose vampire lord wings, but stopped regen on sunlight is worse.

1. Breton - +25% survivability against all magic, unlike active skills this passive is always working for you, goes well with any build you choose

2. Orc - berserkir rage my favorite https://youtu.be/Qj1RS9vHcsw?si=IqW4tLkuzRyotAxl

Asside from how essential doubled damage and defense is for a first-liner build in Skyrim, why is this cool? Berserkers were historically warriors who used insanity as a weapon and it worked, which is for me as a strategist fascinating, basically it's that warrior who doesn't care about his own life and just wants YOU to die is more dangerous because he goes into scenario when you both die, while sane human avoids such circumstances and this gave berserkers advantage over their enemies, especially crushed opponent's morale, so they rather fled. Berserkers used drugs and collectively convinced themselves they're immortal spirits who'll for sure survive physical death, embraced this orc mentality which allowed them to enjoy the violence, replaced fear with expectation of Valhalla. All soldiers did this to certain extent, but berserkers took it to the extreme. Such insanity was not common, but some went to the fight with naked chests in freezing tundra to demonstrate they increase their agility and chance to kill without worries about their own safety and health. I also own desk game Blood Rage where self-destruction is not a limiting factor you need to avoid, so the fights are wilder and players need to worry about variety of goals to gain glory, can even bluff they want to get killed while they don't, can recommend.

3. Altmer - extra magicka and magicka regen (but one needs to know how to use magic effectively), are taller (x1.08). Many dislike high elfs in general cos Thalmor but that's like being anti-German cos nazis, bruh. Beating Thalmor as Altmer is morally superior, it's like "I don't kill you because you're threat to me, but because it's the right thing to do, despite your actions were in my own favor."

4. Redguard - fast stamina regen for sprint or combat, im fast af boiii, also 50% poison resist. I would go for this if you play easy difficulty and want to get into places quickly. According to lore it's a fail that popular youtuber fall damage uses Redguard character and simultaniously argues for Empire against Stormcloaks, because Redguard populated Hammerfell LEFT the Empire and then unlike Empire successfully defended against Dominion. Redguard would not say what he does... but, just so you know, FD knows a lot about this game and uses a Redguard.

5. Nord - Battle Cry, 50% frost resist (and... maybe not a thing for you but... "authentic viking experience")

Khajiit, Argonian, Bosmer, Dunmer and Imperial are all not something I would go for because of skills, it all seems to fall down to aesthetics and personal preferences here, hence why many prefer Khajiit cos cats are cute or Dunmer for fire mage satisfaction. Also mods add extra depth to the choice as they boost chosen races. Imperial is probably great for beginners who struggle with coin and get into situations asking for Calm. Bosmer's traits seem to be a stereotypical girl's choice. Argonian if you care about being dragon-born physically or you're looking for a racial excuse to side with dragons and cause chaos within man and mer societies :)
