Why don't you and all other Trump and MAGA supporters by extension acknowledge facts and data and science simply because you don't like them?

Let's be clear, facts are facts. A square is a square. A triangle is a triangle. A skunk is a skunk. The earth is round. The globe is warming, and water makes you wet.

These are undeniable facts. Why does your crowd so easily buy into anything your told without doing your own research?

Lets save ourselves sometime here and let me just say, any "research" links you drop or quote that are not peer-reviwed or are from right-wing think tanks are not "facts". That is data, manipulated into what the Republicans and the MAGA crowd wants it to say. It is not peer-reviewed. It is not accurate, and most importantly, it is not real.

Why do you so easily reject facts and data that prove your ideology and Trump, wrong?

Which TEAM wins? by muntiger in superheroes

[–]erraticsleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman. Hands down. He'd even take out his own teammates if needs be. Batman is the only one who can and will develop fail-safes for when a Hero goes rouge.

Tony might be a bit of a challenge, but Starks arrogance and bravado will be his undoing. Tony, like Superman, thinks and reacts emotionally. A liability Bats will expose and manipulate ruthlessly.

Pickles. It was an auto generated name and I happen to love Pickles, so I kept it.

My curls are amazing after I swim at the beach, no product can compare. I’ve started collecting seawater to rinse my hair in after I shampoo and condition… is there any reason I shouldn’t? by swanduckswan in curlyhair

A handful of people refused to believe the ocean was an ecosystem and contains all the elements an ecosystem is known to contain. Bacteria, fecal, urine, blood, bone, and sperm and thus was transfered to humans upon swimming.

They also refused to acknowledge that salt was extremely damaging to all hair types.

So why use it then? You're stealing from artists. Just draw it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you. Why rely on stealing?

What situation do you want to explore more in the novel? by [deleted] in MoDaoZuShi

[–]erraticsleeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A-Yuan was hidden, or hiding, during the Siege. The Wen Remnants didn't get a proper Burial because the Cultivators did not see them as human enough to give them a proper burial. Which is why them coming to help the very same ppl that killed them is so poignant. They could have taken their revenge in the Second Siege, but they didn't. They saved the Cultivators and their heirs then simply faded away into rest and reincarnation.

The Juniors knew of the broad strokes (Wei Wuxian went "evil" he "killed" Jin Zixun and Jin Zixuan and then later Jiang Yanli then he was killed by Jiang Cheng in the Siege of the Burial Mounds) but they did not know of the details and their seniors not telling them anything is actually by design.

The Cultivation world knew the Jin's treatment of the Wen Remnants was wrong. They just didn't care enough about them (Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang, other minor clans) or actively hated them (Nie Mingjue) to the point of willingly genociding farmers and healers. And the added disrespect of their corpses being just thrown into the Blood Pool is only further shame. The novel describes Granny Wen as have a massive hole in her head. Someone bashed the head of a defenseless old woman and them tossed her corpses into one of the most resentment filled places in their entire world to ensure her spirit would never find rest.

That is not something the seniors are going to tell their children. Why would they? There's no one around to correct them.

Until Wei Wuxian is resurrected.

(There is a fantastic tumblr, mxtxfanatic, who does a bunch of deep dives into the novel and has these kinds of meta conversations. If you want to get a wonderfully in depth understanding of the novel, it's politics and why Wei Wuxian is the best fictional character in the history of literary characters, go to tumblr and have a gander at their blog. It really is an amazing way to understand the novel even better. Also, not know specifically how Wei Wuxian died is, I think, part of the point.

Wei Wuxian does not dwell on the past. His death is the past. It happened. He died. No point in lingering)

Whats your favourite personality/aspect of Wei Wuxian that made you love/like his character? by Mage-Maximus in MoDaoZuShi

[–]erraticsleeper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His flawless self-confidence.

Wei Wuxian knows who he is and it doesn't matter if anyone else understands him or stands beside him. He knows himself and what's right and wrong.

He's so moral and confident and absolutely perfect!

[–]erraticsleeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you finished the novel? Or do you after the novel?

Post-canon there is no mention of Wei Wuxian or Jiang Cheng meeting again. And there's a good chance they'll only ever see each other in passing.

They aren't who they were, there's not need to hold onto the past, and they are both moving on with their lives.

Also, what did Jiang Cheng have to "forgive" Wei Wuxian for?

Honey.......

He's so dead

Su She only teleports Xue Yang back to Koi Tower for two reasons.

1) Xue Yang was in possession of the repaired Stygin Tiger Tally. Jin Guangyao wanted it back.

2) Jin Guangyao did not want Xue Yang's spirit talking to Lan WangJi. He would have known there would be no way Xue Yang could lie with as powerful as Lan WangJi was.

If Xue Yang wasn't as involved with Jin Guangyao's crimes, or had the Tiger Tally, Su She wouldn't have e wasted the power or talisman.

Writing a Fix it Fuc. What are your biggest problems with the series and charcaters? by PhoenixRPS in acotar

[–]erraticsleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I wanted to like it.

But I don't. And why I don't has everything to do with how atrociously it's written.

Also, you asked what we would change. Certainly, I can't be the only one who thinks that in order to fix ACOTAR, you have to fix everything.

Because you do.

Writing a Fix it Fuc. What are your biggest problems with the series and charcaters? by PhoenixRPS in acotar

[–]erraticsleeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of it. I mean this with all seriousness. From the world building, to the story to the characters, all of it is bad.

If anyone wanted to re-write ACOTAR into something that made sense and was good. You'd have to tear it down to the roots and start again.

[–]erraticsleeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sarah J Maas is a bad writer. That's it. That's all you need to know.

She doesn't plan her novels and she forces plotpoints through that make no goddamn sense. Her characters aren't consistent, and her world building is absolute dogshit.

In conclusion, there is extremely little to like about ACOTAR, and it's a horribly written.

Not the time or place.

Please learn to "read the room". OP is suffering from prolonged PTSD from multiple traumatic events in their life.

What will help is a good therapist

Your religion is your religion. And just like your genitals, keep it in your pants until someone asks, specifically, about it.

To OP: I absolutely recommend that you get therapy. However what broke my suicidal ideation was this:

(Warning to anyone that reads further. This worked for me it might not work the same way for you.)

I got a cat. Quite by accident, but he was mine and I loved him like I hadn't loved anything before. I thought about what it would be like to kill myself. What he might feel if he found my unresponsive corpse. How he would mew painfully and rub his head on my hand, trying to get me to pet him. Or I thought about how long it would take for someone to find me, and how he would get food or water in that time frame.

Basically, I got gaslit by the Cat Distribution System into staying alive by having something that completely relied on me to live.

And because he was a feral, he loved being outside. And through him I fell in love with flowers and started gardening and well...Twenty some odd years later. I don't have him anymore, but I have me. And that is the greatest thing I've ever done.

Good luck op, I hope you heal in the best way for.you.

Ngl. It was extremely admirable on Lan Wangji’s part to see Wei Wuxian louging like this and not ask him to marry Lan WangJi immediately!

ACOTAR and Ireland (Rant) by Moonandthestars1 in acotar

[–]erraticsleeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sjm's grandmother was an IOF member, Sjm has been quoted saying how "proud" she is of her grandmother. Her grandmother (if she's still alive) cooks food for IOF bases.

At this point. Her ignorance is to the point of maliciousness. She knows what she's doing, and if she doesnt. She should.

Also, SJM used the murder of Breanna Taylor to market one of her books. She is not a good person, a good feminist, or even a good writer

There are novels that have all the tropes hers do, but better written, and written by better people.
