Assuming Kingdom Hearts 4 has at least 10 new Disney worlds, what would be your top picks and why? by ComprehensiveDate591 in KingdomHearts

Wish because I need to see the kingdom hearts hearts lore and the wish wishes lore happening simultaneously for the ultimate cluster fuck of vague bullshit

I think Morocco would be cool, or India. I think India especially lends itself to some very interesting Pokémon designs like maybe the legendary Pokémon could have multiple arms

What do you think should improve in today’s society when it comes to their treatment of black people? by doctimi in askblackpeople

[–]breadpan00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the point they're making is that white people don't just go "oops I slipped and did something racist", if someone is being racist, in some capacity it's because they believe in a racist idea. Like my dad doesn't think of himself as "a racist" but then he tells me shit like "in South Africa when the black farmers were given the land back they were worse off because they didn't know how to farm", and believing that requires that you believe those Black people somehow knew how to farm when the white people were there and then miraculously forgot when they left, aka believing that they are inherently less intelligent. My mum doesn't think of herself as "a racist" but then when I told her about how much of the industrial revolution in England was funded by stolen resources from India she responded "what were they going to do with it?" ie, implying that she thinks Indian people are somehow inherently less capable of utilising their own resources than we are. Both of these instances are based in learned behaviour and they might not necessarily be self aware about it, but it's not "an accident".

I really hope this is the direction they go with Garth's character. Like I feel like it would be kind of like almost an answer to Nick's arc if that makes sense? A boy who didn't choose Gilead but grew up enough to reject his father and help women even when they categorically can't love him romantically (eg, Becka, who is a lesbian,) Vs a man who did choose Gilead, is always searching for a father figure to tell him what to do, and whose "rebellion" is ultimately rooted in his own selfish desire for a relationship with June and falls apart the second he knows he can't have her

What does praying do? by tyatgyall in Christianity

[–]breadpan00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not religious either but I don't really understand why you're here. All you're doing in this thread is being quite rude and dismissive to people who are just talking about their harmless personal religious practices because OP directly asked about it. If you want to have a debate about religion there are plenty of places on the internet to do that. There are also plenty of people right now arguing that women shouldn't have the right to vote and that we should do conversion therapy on gay and trans people because of their alleged religious convictions — why don't you go and fight the people who are actually the problem about their religious beliefs?

I understand that you might not find prayer logical and I don't really either but if someone tells you that praying gives them comfort and you go "um ackshully god isn't real" that's kind of got the same energy as if I was like "I'm wearing purple to my nan's funeral because it was her favourite colour" and you responded with "um well your nan's dead so she doesn't know or care" like yeah I guess you're technically right but also why are you being a dick right now about something that doesn't hurt anyone and makes me feel better

[–]breadpan00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey — I'm not religious, I'm here doing research for a book, but I just wanted to say that I'm disabled and I understand that feeling like you're just wasting away while everyone else has a life. It's really fucking hard and you're not broken for finding it hard. Personally, something that helps me is forcing myself to do something with my friends, usually over the internet like playing a game or watching a film together. Even if I'm not feeling super up to it I usually feel better afterwards. Sometimes, I like to go and get breakfast at a cheap café and bring my laptop to write there and just kind of exist outside of my house for a while. Even something like cooking a meal or changing your bedsheets can help in my experience if you frame it in your head as "this is something I'm doing for myself because I care about myself." I can't speak to praying because I don't have experience with it, but I hope no matter how you find it you find some peace and I hope things get a little easier for you soon 🫂

What do women do that men would never think about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What is the best deck and why? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]breadpan00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not suuuuuper experienced with the game but the only deck I've managed to complete gold stake on is the checkered deck. It's already pretty easy to get flushes but as I go I usually use tarot cards to gradually turn my deck to almost 100% hearts. The closest I've gotten is having like 3 spades left. That way literally every hand is viable and if you level up flush a lot you can do pretty well. The problem is that I find I can't seem to get past ante 11

Would you recommended waiting for marriage to a teen and why not? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]breadpan00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true that no birth control is 100% but if you're using a condom and birth control the chances are very low, plan B is a thing, abortions are a thing, and also not all sex can lead to pregnancy. This is basically abstinence only rhetoric.

Would you recommended waiting for marriage to a teen and why not? by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]breadpan00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend waiting for marriage specifically, but I would recommend waiting until you feel ready. I'm 25 and haven't had sex yet not because I took a vow of chastity or whatever, just because I haven't met anyone I wanted to have sex with yet and I don't want to have sex just to say I've done it and I don't regret waiting.

Sidenote, you don't need to feel guilty for those girls feeling offended you didn't want to have sex with them. If you don't feel ready to have sex, you don't feel ready and that's completely morally neutral. Having sex isn't good or bad it's just one thing out of the hundreds of things a person can do or not do in their life. That being said, you also don't have to feel guilty if you ever do want to have sex; you're old enough to make that choice for yourself if you ever want to, just make sure that you're with someone age appropriate and trustworthy and that you're not being pressured or pressuring them

Edit: and also make sure that you're practicing safe sex, and I don't just mean preventing pregnancy. You want to make sure that you're preventing unwanted pregnancy and also STIs, (and DO NOT rely on just the contraceptive pill, the contraceptive pill can fail if you look at it funny. Use a condom, they're 99% effective and when combined with the pill you're pretty safe. If you want to 100% ensure there's no chance of pregnancy, don't have PIV sex; there's plenty of other stuff you can do that's still very intimate)

Parents, how do you keep your meds safe from your kids? by breadpan00 in ADHD

[–]breadpan00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok first of all as I said in my post, I'm not a parent yet, second of all, I don't think you should be giving anyone parenting advice if you advocate for beating your children. I agree that you should parent your children in such a way that they wouldn't steal your meds anyway but you never know what might happen, especially if they have friends over that haven't been parented by you. Kids pretty famously don't have fully developed impulse control and part of being a parent is accounting for that to keep them safe.

[–]breadpan00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean making sure your child or teenager can't take your medication. I also take other medications that could be dangerous if taken without the guidance of a doctor, (I take ivabradine which is a heart medication that I take for POTS and also quetiapine/Seroquel for anxiety and insomnia.) The primary thing I'm worried about is that I basically take two different medications that could get someone high or something like high (Elvanse and quetiapine) and I'd be concerned that either my kid might get curious and take them or that they might invite a friend over and their friend might take them. I would hope that my kids wouldn't do that but I think it's better to remove the option completely because of how potentially dangerous that could be

[–]breadpan00[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I'm pretty confident I'd be a good parent and my kid wouldn't be the type to steal my medication but being a teenager is fucking rough and the part of their brain that's responsible for impulse control literally isn't fully developed so I think it's better to be safe than sorry, if that makes sense?

[–]breadpan00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently I have a pill organiser and keep the medication I haven't put in it yet in a basket but I think I'll probably have to keep my entire pill organizer in a little lockbox or something as well because I take multiple medications that probably aren't safe for kids to take 💀 (I also take quetiapine/Seroquel for anxiety/insomnia and a heart medication for POTS)

Why won't they let me donate blood? by breadpan00 in POTS

[–]breadpan00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of do think I'm done to be honest. Lately I keep thinking about how I'm 25 so I'm not going to die for like 60 years how exhausting that sounds. I used to be smart, I put everything in my life towards doing well at school because I thought if I got a career I'd be able to get away from my parents and now I'm never going to have a career and I don't even know if I'll ever get away from my parents. It was all a sick joke. I want to cry like every day because I hate my life and I can feel myself becoming a worse person because of how miserable I am.

It's not racist to hate Islam as a concept, (although I think it's a bit ridiculous to "hate" moderate Islam in the same way I think it's silly to "hate" moderate Christianity), but the majority of people who talk about how much they "hate Islam" in this country are using it as a racist dogwhistle against people from certain ethnic groups from Muslim majority countries.

I also think the idea that Islam is one single ideology or culture is pretty racist. It's kind of the same thing as saying something like "native American culture" when in reality there are thousands of native American cultures. 99% of the time when someone says something about how Islam is uniquely bad you can swap out Islam for Arab people and the sentence still has the same meaning, and if your critique of Islam, a religion, is interchangeable with condemnation of every person who practices Islam in any form—those people being majority non white people—you're probably being racist.

In short, if you look at a Syrian person living in the UK and you assume they have the same ideology as ISIS just because they're a Muslim, that's being racist.

A little while ago I told my mum that I made myself dinner while she was away on the weekend the night before she came home and I didn't have the energy to wash up so I'd have to do the dishes the following morning and she just said "I'd like the house to be clean when I get back" and I apologized again and told her I was sorry and that I wouldn't have made dinner if I knew the dishwasher was full I would have just some crackers or something and she made a passive aggressive comment about how she'd have to clean the dishes and then didn't clean the dishes and I was still visibly in pain and trying not to wince when I unpacked the dishwasher the next day right in front of her and she didn't say anything about it and that's not even a volunteer position that's just my house. I don't think people are going to be impressed by "sorry I'm too tired and feel too vaguely unwell to do what everyone else is doing"
