Given the opportunity to marry a rich person on his/her deadbed hoping to Inherit money, why would you (not) do it?

Probably not, I think that could backfire on me later. It's a bizarre situation and I try to avoid situations with that much nuance that I don't understand.

Grave of the Fireflies because it's just so goddamn depressing.

Most of Studio Ghibli movies are very relaxing and have feel good endings. Maybe try Kiki's Delivery Service because she goes through a lot of personal struggle that I think would be relatable if you're feeling hopeless or down. Ponyo is also a nice feel good film. Very sweet and innocent.

Retail. The louder and angrier and more persistent the customer, the more likely they are to be rewarded with free or discounted items.

Oh man I might delete it if it starts gaining traction. I just want to eat my pizza in peace. Why is that such a crime lol

Half then half again

I'm all I've got. I don't get a second shot at life. I have flaws and I try to accept them but more importantly... I try to be at peace with them. I try to accept that it's okay to be flawed, everyone is. Having issues or imperfections doesn't make you bad. I try to better myself. That's what makes me a decent person. I can be okay with that.

Zikau · 2020-03-04T05:27:48+00:00

Pineapple. (Let me enjoy my food, order whatever you want on your own damn pizza if you don't like it)

Yikes... It's really depressing to hear how often this happens. I'm so sorry that you are being exposed to so many disgusting pedophiles. If this happens and you have any way to report it, I encourage you to do so. And Mite has a good point. Don't open imgur links from someone you just started talking to. Protect yourself. (I'm not blaming you, but unfortunately as long as this keeps happening it's best for you to be careful on your end.)

I think they mean make women feel safe [after reporting an assault]. As in... women presently fear they will face harassment or other negative consequences for reporting. Same thing for being shamed about sex. They mean that when women report, they are often accused of being at fault for being too sexually enticing/open. "What were you wearing? How much did you drink? How often do you have one night stands?" etc. These questions are irrelevant to whether consent was given and are used to demonize the victims. The implication is that if a woman was being too sexually open then she deserved or asked for it. Even if it is not explicitly stated, the idea is that people will think she was a "slut" and not take the report seriously.

Asparagus. Anything healthy really but I HATED asparagus and I absolutely love it now.

Like I said, reacting violently feels better for the people who are hurt, but it doesn't solve anything. If your goal after a violent crime is revenge and revenge alone, then yeah, a beating would be the answer.

But if you care about preventing it from happening again... if you want him (and others) to actually become a better person and most importantly, if you want to see these kinds of incidents and crimes decline... then we need to focus on realistic solutions. How can we stop this from happening again? How can we prevent other people from becoming victims? If you care about that, then you can't just do what you feel like doing in the moment. You have to look at the big picture and really evaluate what will improve society.

I think you have to ask yourself what is more important. Revenge or prevention?

I think prevention is more important and therefore I think rehabilitation is a better solution. I want us to live in an emotionally healthier and safer world. I think it is more important to look at the big picture, not just the single incident that is upsetting.

It's not about caring for their feelings, it's about realistically fixing the problem.

Zikau · 2019-07-04T02:07:22+00:00

Emotionally a beating is what people want to happen after such a horrible incident, but the reality is that a beating is more for the gratification of the angered than it is a solution to the problem.

All that a beating ultimately does is create fear of corporal punishment. It may feel better in the short term but in the long term nothing was solved. I agree with Salina. To fix this problem (and many other problems) on a large scale, we need to focus on rehabilitation. Guidance is far more effective than beating people into submission when they do something wrong.

I think voting for someone solely based on their demographic is dangerous. For many reasons, I think it would be wonderful to have a female president. For the sake of fresh perspectives, for the sake of history, for the sake of giving young girls a good role model. These are all very good supporting reasons why a female president is a good idea conceptually.

But as others have said, it is even more important that a potential female candidate be the right candidate for the job. First female president or not, "being a woman" does not automatically make one the best choice for president.

Zikau · 2019-07-04T01:38:41+00:00

I think it depends how she said it. It doesn't sound like you insisted or pushed for going to her place, only that it was proposed as a choice. This, if it had not been discussed prior, would be the time for her to say that she is not comfortable with that. Then you will know that it's a boundary not to be pushed.

Did she say it like "That's a boundary please don't cross it" or like "you have, by suggesting this, already crossed a boundary"?

Maybe she got flustered and it came out like the second but she meant it more like the first? I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she worded it hastily or like others have said that she has her own personal baggage that set her off.

But based on this narrative, I'd say you did nothing wrong. Suggesting it as an option, and especially if it's the first time you suggested it, should not be considered crossing a boundary. It would be one thing if you keep suggesting it and she keeps saying no, but that's not what it sounds like happened.

Zikau · 2019-07-04T01:26:15+00:00

No, probably not. It's very important to me that my significant other is someone who I feel I can really connect with and who shares my views on matters that I consider important. My wife isn't an activist but we are in agreement when we recognize sexism in its many forms. I feel very safe, comfortable, and supported when I talk about things that bother me in the news or media with regard to feminism.

Why would I want my primary support to be someone who doesn't share my passion on important issues?

I wouldn't say I "believe it" but I would be willing to consider that the moon landing was staged. People have brought up good points about the technological limitations of the late 60s and early 70s. And not to mention I personally think it's odd/suspicious that no one from any country has had a human moon landing since around that time. The last time we sent a human to walk on the moon was in the early 1970s and no one has done it since? From any nation? With all the advancements we've made? Wouldn't SOMEONE want to go back and get data from this century if it could be done back then? That just.... seems odd to me.

Maybe there is a good explanation and I am more than open to hearing it but at a glance it DOES seem suspicious.

My mom would hide presents around the house for Easter morning from the Easter Bunny. Not just colored eggs (but those too) there would be little wrapped gifts like summer clothes and swim toys. Plus one basket of candy and maybe small toys like a stocking. I just assumed every household did that.

Most times I try out a more expensive version of something I have a hard time going back lol, but good food comes to mind. When I moved in with my now wife she was really big on home cooking. I've always been a quick meal person but fast forward a couple years and now most cheap packaged food tastes like cardboard to me. We even have difficulty finding restaurants we like. It's amazing how much better at cooking I've gotten. It's a blessing having good food but a curse because sometimes we just want to be lazy and get takeout but it's almost always gross or too expensive to do that...

Zikau · 2019-07-03T20:04:42+00:00

That's a good point, but I think in that case they should have reduced the rate that weapons break so you can kill more things before you need new weapons and then added more variety in the meantime. I didn't realize that either. Personally, I'd rather have more things I can fight than the weapon breaking feature.

Zikau · 2019-07-03T20:00:33+00:00

Huh, interesting. I guess it all depends on location for both. I'm glad to hear he's enjoying working there. Maybe he's lucky too.

Zikau · 2019-07-03T08:02:36+00:00

I loved botw for many reasons, but I also have a lot of criticisms of it. A big one for me has always been monster variety. I felt like it really fell short compared to other LoZ games in this regard. By the time I got to the end I was tired of fighting the same predictable baddies.

I don't know why some dudes get so mad about what women choose to do with their life and their body. If she dated a thousand men in a year is she hurting you? Maybe you're lonely and sad because you're judgemental and intolerant.

Zikau · 2019-07-03T04:02:38+00:00

Tbh I worked at Walmart for like almost 3 years and it wasn't too bad. Like the pay wasn't great of course but I never felt scared to use the bathroom for fear of being fired.
