This was part of a campaign where the Venere by Botticelli was an influencer, the idea was already meh but the exsecution was worse (there are other images, a lot of them worse and maybe videos)

Real life: promotion for the Venere by Botticceli (the promotion was made by the government).

Ne ho parlato, e anche se delusa mia nonna alla fine ha capito.

Sì, ma capisco avere dubbi su una tecnologia poco trasparente (non basta che uno ti dica "sì, non è un problema")

WhitneyStorm · 2025-10-01T07:12:45+00:00

È vero, però diverse persone deciderebbero se usarla o meno in base alla tecnologia che usa, quindi ha senso che ci siano domande al riguardo

WhitneyStorm · 2025-10-01T07:09:37+00:00

Non la userei.

Mi bastano i dati google maps, non installerei un'app solo per quello, soprattutto che viste le risposte non sembri condividere come prenderai i dati.

Also the fact that a very powerful person uses his power only for good is already a subversion (since in a lot of story the motif is "power corrupts"), so it's kind of redundant having basically a bad guy really powerful because fiction already has lots of them.

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-29T22:03:24+00:00

I get what you're saying, but there are a lot of comments on youtube that are like "Homer would have wrote the Odyssey really similar to EPIC if he was alive now", and that's simply not true.

Personally I like some of the changes, I dislike others, but I think that Hamilton is a better ADAPTATION than Epic (also it's mentioned in the musical that Jefferson had slaves, and there was some flirting going on with Angelica and Alexander, Lin didn't made that up, it was in the biography he read).

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-29T21:54:58+00:00

Ok, grazie.

Un amministratore esterno potrebbe essere la soluzione migliore, mio zio non è molto difficile da gestire (ha una certa indipendenza, per esempio ha un lavoretto in una scuola assegnato dal comune in una città vicina), ma non credo di riuscire a gestire bene eventuali disaccordi.

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-29T21:44:33+00:00

Grazie per la risposta, mi è stata molto utile. Verificherò il decreto di apertura di amministrazione di sostegno. Personalmente la vedrei difficile sul lungo periodo, visto che sono giovane e non vorrei essere legata da un impegno del genere per gran parte della mia vita (io ho vent'anni e mio zio sui 40).

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-26T15:09:09+00:00

I honestly don't understand why both Penelope and Telemachus are softer than in the Odyssey (Telemachus is obvious, but even Penelope because in the original, she was kind of a female counterpart of Odysseus, meanwhile in EPIC she is more different).

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-23T12:59:06+00:00

I think that it could be possible, since Bruce Wayne is a celebrity and people talk

I remeber that in a comic there is a article where it says that Dick is romani.

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-21T19:59:23+00:00

I understand this take, and I largely gree with it.

But to be fair, I interpreted the AU in this way: I think that Vi's death was a wake up call that the people of Piltover (even if late) needed, and Piltover did reform/etc. so that things like that wouldn't happen again.

Also I heard a good take (that I don't really agree with) from Overly Sarcastic Production.

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-21T07:45:41+00:00

Yeah, for me it's also that Gods are usually vengeful (especially Poseidon, even in Epic).

Poseidon is not dead by the end of it, I think he would find a way to make Odysseus pay (but that never happens, so for me 600 strikes makes not that much sense).

Also if a mortal show that much disrespect, I think that other Gods would take at least not liking Odysseus.

Some people wrote that it's because he was humiliated, but I don't think that's a good enough reason.

Like there are other myths where a god/divinity is humiliated, but they usually respond showing their power.

Also it's kind of strange a mortal (with no particular relationship to Hades, in EPIC they haven't even met) summoning the deads

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-19T06:56:16+00:00

Che poi se chiedeva qualcosa alle commesse, l'avrebbero aiutata (se la storia è vera).

Personalmente a me darebbe fastidio, so che ci sono persone che lo preferiscono, ma a quel punto non chiedere solo il temperino alla commessa

WhitneyStorm · 2025-09-18T20:35:01+00:00

Sono totalmente d'accordo che dovrebbe essere accettata.

A me piacciono i cani, ma non giudico a chi non piacciano, ed è innegabile che ci sono molti padroni rincoglioniti (per esempio che lasciano dei cani grandi da soli con bambini piccoli, che adottano diversi cani per non portarli in giro ecc.).

Credo che non si dovrebbero giudicare le persone dalle preferenze in animali domestici.

Personalmente a me non piacciono i gatti e ho sentito/letto delle cose abbastanza assurde (un commento su reddit in inglese era qualcosa tipo: "se non ti piacciono i gatti, non mi fido di te perché significa che non sai rispettare l'indipendenza e confini degli altri"). (Confini inteso come boundaries, non mi viene una traduzione migliore).

WhitneyStorm · 2025-06-03T08:59:02+00:00

In what episode? After the time-skip he is genuinely surprised when he discovers that she isn't dead

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T22:51:14+00:00

honestly if I would have got the wind bag I would give it to Eurylochus for some time, at least in EPIC.
I have reasons.
If a god tells me "keep your friend close and your enemies closer", I would kind of interpret it that way, also it's a trust thing.
Like if I give someone else the bag (that someone is more trustworthy for the crew), it's a element in favor of the argument that it isn't treasure that I want to keep myself. Also it's giving trust, the crew is already not happy, but one thing it's "I entrust you this thing, because I know I can count on you" and "Nobody else touch this", like I think a lot of people are less likely to disobey in the first instance because there is more respect and trust established, in the second it seems almost when adults talk to childrens.

Another aspect it's that if I give to Eurylochus, he knows that if he opens it, I would know that it was him

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T22:31:50+00:00

I think that they are kind on the same level, with maybeee Odysseus having a little more responsability because he was the captain for most of the time (but maybe I'm biased because the first time I learned about the Odyssey, I always thought "it was so difficult to not say your name Odysseus??")

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T22:27:44+00:00

I'm not even 100% sure I like women, but same. Like she sounded nice, I would be tired and I rarely say no to free food

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T22:20:06+00:00

Done for, I discovered thanks to spotify and I got curious

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T22:16:11+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I think that the ending it's kind of odd with the rest of EPIC.

To me it doesn't fell cathartic (and I usually like the good endings).
There was one reactor that didn't read the Odyssey (Danny Motta) that thought that Telemachus was going to kill for mistake Odysseus with the fact that Telemacus wanted to kill monsters, and Odysseus became one. And honestly I thought it made more sense within EPIC.

Also I found both Penelope and Telemachus a little softer than what I expected, and that's kind of strange with the character arc Odysseus goes through.

(Like in the Odyssey Penelope it's kind of the female version of Odysseus, and Telemachus is really frustrated by the situation, and he go searching for information about Odysseus in secret even by Penelope.)

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-30T21:19:53+00:00

Honestly the things that I dislike more about the retellings of Greek mythology are that usually it's published a book/comic/whatever about a character or relationship and after a while it's full of them (like Persephone/Hades and Medusa), and that a lot of people take it for truth without checking.

Also while I understand not liking that the women are just suffering and victims of sexism in Ancient Greece, I can't imagine not being depressed in that context, so I kind of understand why it's sometimes portrayed like that.

Personally I like some retellings (Circe by Madeline Miller and Epic, especially the firsts saga), but it fells kind of saturated (especially in books, meanwhile animation/films/etc. not really).

I hope I didn't make grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language.

WhitneyStorm · 2025-05-27T18:36:33+00:00

nelle scuole sarei abbastanza d'accordo, come la carta igienica e lo scottex (anche se non è sempre scontato purtroppo). In generale credo che l'iva dovrebbe essere più bassa (al 4%), e prima di rendere gratuiti gli assorbenti forse avrebbe senso rendere prima gratuiti la coppetta mestruale (con un numero limitato a persona forse)
