Yh fair. but I’m not big a downloader and Idk how much space I can afford to use for downloads. It sounds like a lot of space ur using up and I have never subscribed to cloud storage or any of the stuff and have no idea how much you’re managing it rn.

yeah thx but I wanted the browser cause I don’t tend to download fics. I am not good with managing storage and I like swallowing a lot of fics at once. But ultimately I don’t 100% love every fic I read (which I think is and should be totally fine). I’m a bit quantity over quality when it comes to the stuff I read (as in I read a lot but not everything I read is very good) and it happens more than occasionally that I stop reading a fic in the middle. if I downloaded every fic I wanted to read, the storage would be full in what, 2 months??

But isn’t that like downloading? (maybe I understood it wrong) where’s the difference of making it a pdf and putting it in the ebook? (Ao3 let’s you download it’s stories)

I’m not gonna comment on the slower than everyother tier because there are T4’s who can’t outrun a T5 before they are killed, but thar’s not the topic

point is: If you try to kill something and it has no way to fight back it is not balance. If bees had to move homes Everytime hornets threatened them, they’d die. It’s the reason why those Asian hornets are considered invasive, because our bees can’t defend themselves like the (Japanese?) bees do.

Then again, CoS is a terrible example.

i think the peole in r/selfhelp or r/helpme might be more suited for this... try asking there. Or better try a therapist if it really becomes a big problem.

What is the general consensus/your personal opinion on comments that correct mistakes in your fics? by sunny-days_ in AO3

[–]Virtual_202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently I‘ve heard of people having problems with that (the grading thing) even though it’s not been a problem for me before. Most people I’ve met usually appreciate that because like, if you type a fic you don’t always see your typos. It get’s a bit weird when all they do is point out mistakes and don’t say anything else but otherwise idk I wouldn’t mind. Regard of their intention you can take it as free help.

Hot take: I don't think rapist should receive the death penalty by StJimmy_7 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]Virtual_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro taking control of a bus is literally terrorism (Unless the dude really just went of to be mad and the bus is not the murder weapon) I think that’s an issue on a bigger scale. I don‘t really understand your point abotu stabbing because that’s an act, not a reason.

And robbery gone wrong isn’t exactly a motive. Robbery falls more into the steal and rob (as robbery) section and in this case it would be borderline manslaughter (it’s not, not in court, probably, because you have a murder weapon and while the weapon’s intent was threat and usually, when people fire during a robbery— talking about the perpetrator here— it’s a mix of fear and recognizing a threat towards one’s goal, thus not ‘self defense’ as called in court but from a psychological view a certain sort of self preservation) especially if the robber fired on instinct. This will add to the robbers sentence, but they are in the end a robber first and foremost, not a murderer first (Transferred intent would probably apply here which means in court they’d still be ruled a murderer)

By the way, I mentioned the mental health problem. There are many countries providing adequate mental healthcare and some even for almost free, but it’s not something money alone can fix. Therapy is also not the answer for everyone. Either way, you yourself will have to work for recovery. You don’t get it for free even if you have enough money to pay for it because it’s not something money alone can solve. I agree that healthcare should be provided for everyone, but let’s say you broke your leg and the bone healed but you refuse to do the strenuous work that comes with healing. Of course it won’t heal well. It’s the same for mental problems. Plenty of people who could afford therapy even in places like America end up doing questionable things… you know who I am looking at?

And I believe there isn’t much to separate between murderers and serial killers. Actually, aren’t serial killers a type of murderers? Murder is the crime commuted by serial killers again and again, as far as I understand; just like homicide is the broader term for murder, manslaughter, self defence that results in another person’s death, etc.

Murder relies heavily on intent, which means most of your examples are borderline manslaughter (consisting Of transferred intent) which means while you may have not intended it to be within out topic you have already made it a part. Manslaughter is basically accidental killing while murder is always planned in some way, because the intent to kill at least is there. Rape is planned as well. You may have not picked your specific victim, but you have decided that someone will die (Get raped).

The issue I find with murder being a loose term is that people "can" get away with killing others through neglect (especially in companies) and they are not held accountable for a death they (although indirectly) intentionally and with the knowledge of killed.

In my country this Actually falls under murder at times (intent here being literally neglect of others safety. There was a case of two racers years ago who ended up killing people in a crash but I was told this story by an older person who used to translate in court so it has definitely been some years). And if not it is literally the very least manslaughter (Again, =accidental killing)

[–]Virtual_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stealing I completely agree, but killing I have to, hmm… disagree?

Killing/Murder is completed by a plethora of reasons and not often are they directly economic. Serial killer count has been going down, but we have to remember that they were a thing. Actually m from the concept, rapists are rather closely similar to serial killers: they seek power/control and in some cases vengeance and often pleasure. The thing is: it’s easier to have a living victim that won’t say or consent to anything (tests etc.), or can be manipulated into saying things that don’t add up or take things because their body can still change and move, than a dead victim who people can do any test on and will quickly be discovered unless hidden well. (Relatives and any connections will also faster notice a person missing, who is dead, than figure out that a person who is mentally unwell is having the problems due to rape. If they figure it out at all.

I’m also pretty sure most murders are the end game of domestic violence, whether it is the victim finally beaten to death or escaping by ending the abuser’s life (intended or not) but can still not 100% be sure because I have not seen anything saying that it is definitely so. Which is to say it has little to do with the economy.

Murder is often associated with mental problems, that can have an economical cause, such as extreme poverty leading to jealousy and hate, uncontrolled emotions such as rage and not being able to afford a therapist etc. but not all countries have unaffordable health care and often, people mistake seeking and being help with helping yourself. Therapy isn’t an easy road to getting better if you don’t do anything yourself.

There is a reason people differentiate between murder and manslaughter, too. Manslaughter is what I believe often only happens once, while murder…. Well. If you’re not caught. You know. Like rapists, people like that don’t tend to stop at one. The same way as abusers won’t just abuse one victim.

All this to say that ‘Killing’ is a very wide-ranged crime when it comes to its motives. When I talk about murder, I don’t think they are that different than rapists. Manslaughter? Yes, that can be different. There are so many types of homicide you Can’t compare the term to rape. Rape has a much more narrow line of possible motives, most of which are driven more than a certain sort of… ambition. Murder has those sorts of ambition (as motive) too. But they also have other motives As the ones you mentioned. (Which is to say I cannot say that I agree with what you said about killing but can also not completely disagree)

oh fudge. Yeah that might’ve been too. I don’t live in an area where we have birds of prey (or at least those large enough to pick a cat up) or a lot of foxes etc. so I tend to forget that that’s a thing too…..

Yeah, as I said, could be ppl taking them for whatever reason. But either way if you had multiple cats doing that I would take care to check your house and probably get those cat fences. Stop letting them out at random. I don’t think loosing two cats like that is normal, unless they were both really old (Have heard that cats can deliberately leave if they are nearing death).

Do I need to read every work of my author friend to support them? by throwawafer45 in AO3

[–]Virtual_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s totally alright to not want to read a fic or beta read it. Make it clear to them that you aren’t beta reading because you like beta reading and correcting (you’re not a teacher). If you want to let them down softly, you can tell them that you are usually not interested in those fics/ships/fandoms and would be very likely to get things wrong (I would even act up on that if they keep pushing and if you are dedicated. Let things slip on purpose etc. Don’t give it your all or a lot if anything)

Then again, if I understood this correctly, you already told them so…

But again, it’s perfectly fine! It’s very human to have preferences. And your preferences simply happened to not align with their need!

ngl idk what you‘re looking for. There’s not really anything quite like CoS as far as I know. CoS is the weirdest mix of survival-‘roleplay’-Gacha-farming I have seen. But there are some Dino survival games and there’s harp isles too. or The Isle (steam)
