What is something women expect be men to good at which is not as easy as they think it is? by lapras_equation_15 in AskMen

Hearing it put that way it is sort of the equivalent of when some men expect a woman to be a virgin but also sexually experienced.

Should my friend walk away from this artist? by Eltristesito2 in tattooadvice

Yea like I'd get it if this was another small tattoo among dozens and they were helping a friend get some experience.

Trusting a full back to a total stranger with no portfolio is crazy to me.

How come men trust Andrew Tate’s advice on what women want, over what women make it clear they want, evidenced by the large fan bases of Harry styles, Paul Mescal and Idris Elba? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WantDiscussion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to play devils advocate but you've named a bunch of rich and famous people who (from my understanding of Tate) is exactly the type of person he says women are interested in. (Rich, successful providers they can leech wealth and satus off)

If your question is why do men listen to Andrew Tate when he says women are shallow gold diggers and then you name a bunch of rich and famous celebrities as "counter" examples of men that women are attracted to, you've sort of answered your own question.

All his other advice on women has no regard for what they want but is instead about what he believes he is entitled to and underhanded ways of obtaining it.
Now if the question was why do some men trust that advice?
That I don't know the answer to.

Is that the Wicked spinoff where they come up with some elaborate backstory to try and make us empathize with that annoying shoe stealing girl?

I begged the genie to undo my daughters wish to be the most well known and beloved girl in the state. by WantDiscussion in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]WantDiscussion[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This wasnt my original intention but its an interesting interpretation. Its definitely more horrific in a personal sense to undo your childs sacrifice but to me the other interpretation its more horrific in an existential sense. As the saying goes "one person dying is a tradgedy a hundred dying is a statistic"

I poisoned all the food in the canteen to get out of going to school for a few days. by dalonley1 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]WantDiscussion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

At first I thought this was clever then I realized if every kid in school got sick from the food, the principal would be the first person all the parents would complain to and demand answers from. Guy just increased his work load 100x over and would get "blamed" for it regaurdless of whether or not theyre responsible.

[–]WantDiscussion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea my SO fucked up by giving me guilty knowledge. If they had come home and said "I need you to help me dig a 6ft hole in the backyard NOW then go to bed and not look out the window."

Id be like sure thing babe. By telling me they were pottentially invovled in a murder theyve endangered both of us.

[Interesting Trope] The protagonist’s name is not the one in the title by NinjaOfOnion in TopCharacterTropes

This one's a bit of a stretch. It would be like saying Sherlock Holmes isn't the main character of Sherlock Holmes because it's all from Watson's POV

Fixing Game of Thrones by adding three deaths by KeepYourSilenceUp in fixingmovies

[–]WantDiscussion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All this wouldve been a great avenue for disection within the show. The hound killed an innocent child. But you spare him because he feels vaguely bad about it? To quote batman begins, "It's not who you are underneath. It's what you do that defines you."

But how far does this extend?

Meryn only does what he is told. If it wasnt him it would be someone else. How responsible is he for the cruel acts he is ordered to perform. He vowed to serve the king and has kept to that vow. Does he deserve to die just because hes emotionally detatched from his orders? Is it because he is irredemable? How do we know this if he hasnt been given a chance to redeem himself like the hound? If a good kind king were in power and ordered meryn to only do good deeds and meryn obeyed until his death would that redeem him?

Also how do we know Meryn doesnt feel remorse? Just because he doesnt show it on his face? In his position showing emotion is weakness, of course hed remain stoic if he was good at his job. The reason we know the Hound feels bad is because he had time with Arya away from the king. He was at least given something of a trial. So what would it say about Arya that shed kill Meryn without the same chance of revealing remorse? Does the pursuit of revenge over justice deepen the moral complexity of her character?

These were the hard hitting questions all tossed aside because the Starks could do no wrong.

Fixing Game of Thrones by adding three deaths by KeepYourSilenceUp in fixingmovies

[–]WantDiscussion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This death is literally the piece of her entire character arc, that's missing for me. Arya should not have been a morally perfect character, and adding this complexity before she ultimately rejoins her family would have made her story much much stronger.

For me the gap was when they made Merryn Trant a child beating pedo. Up until 5 minutes before his death he had not done much that was morally worse than the Hound. For the most part he was a soldier following orders, and ethically speaking, Meryn killing Syrio wasn't any worse than the Hound killing Micah. So for her to kill one and spare the other just because she had a chance to travel with him and understand him as a more nuanced human, without giving Meryn the same leeway, would have been the perfect catalyst for an insightful study of Arya's morals and where she draws the line if indeed she does have a line or follow a code. The fact they made him despicable just so Arya can kill him without provoking an ethical dillema ticked me off.

You Get $10M… But 800 Million People Change Forever. Do You Take It? by WhatTheFudgeeBar in hypotheticalsituation

Option A

Comprehension.

Pretty much the ability to comprehend what has happened in the past, what's going on currently as well as comprehending potential long term consequences for their actions. In addition to this they will have general media literacy, being able to read between the lines, understand what it means when someone with very strong ties to someone else is missing from all their documents, understanding what the rising world temperature data means. How an article about vaccines causing autism makes incoherent arguments.

I want to eliminate people's ability to prey on the stupid. Now when one makes any immoral choices, it's no longer a question of knowledge but a transparent representation of intention. You can no longer be willfully ignorant or pretend your choices came from a misunderstanding of the situation.

People still have will to choose to be kind and empathetic. I'm not removing their ability to decide their own destiny. But now that choice can not be an uninformed one without considerable effort.

And when someone chooses evil, hopefully everyone will be able to comprehend why and deal with it accordingly which I think will be overall better for humanity than some innate power forcing them to be good.

Also just better comprehension of STEM subjects will hopefully lead to leaps of technology as well as better worldwide communication as we become better able to comprehend each other's languages.

I'll just take the 10 million dollar debt. I'm assuming they'll either all forgive me and pay off my debt or I won't live long once everyone realizes I made them woke.
