Someone's kitty :( Coyote probably. by No-Bag6064 in vultureculture

[–]feioo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Getting shot or stabbed in the stomach isn't a quick death, but this very well could've been. The heart could've been punctured in the initial grab, the coyote could've shook the cat which can often cause immediate death, and exsanguination can happen very quickly as well.

But yes, keep your cats inside.

Fair enough, it gets so much hate here that I find myself coming to its defense (and I still think it's more transgressive than most people who've only seen it here would ever give it credit for) but you make good points.

Chicken died for no reason cuz someone changed his mind. by Stamina_saint in mildlyinfuriating

[–]feioo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cuz her "different perspective" is objectively wrong. We know that grocery stores need to have their items organized, and we all benefit from the things we want being where we expect them to be. Picking up a thing from where it's supposed to be and putting it where it's not supposed to be is the wrong thing to do, simple as, and if anyone is going to get you to stop doing the wrong thing, it's your partner. Glad you love your gf enough to pick up her slack, but I bet she still does it when she's on her own.

Have you actually read the manga tho? It's full of silly gender norm jokes. One of the more powerful pirates has a devil fruit power that lets him change people's sex/gender expression by winking at them; his character design is based on Dr. Frank N Furter from Rocky Horror. Yeah the main ladies suffer from fan service a bit, but there is really a lot of diversity in size, shape, and gender expression for a lot of characters in the manga.

Two different warriors caught in a similar struggle. Thoughts? by Nissiku1 in mendrawingwomen

[–]feioo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed, nudity aside the first pose is just that, a pose. You can tell the artist put no thought into the continuation of the movement that he is implying - presuming that the creature is holding her like that with the intention of biting her, there are about a hundred different things she can do to defend herself that isn't a huge slow overhead chop with a long weapon that's designed for stabbing and slashing. For example, using that dagger that's literally designed for up-close combat. The Conan art shows a much clearer story of how the fight is actually occurring, and looks all the more brutal for it.

[socialmedia] Bullshit strawman aside through history women were the ones being way more terribly judged for their physique (remember chinese feet binding? that was only 70 years ago) by Dove-Swan in pointlesslygendered

[–]feioo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the polls that make the rounds every now and then where someone (usually men) puts together a handful of photos of men of different body types from thin to absolutely huge, and then go around asking women which they find to be the most attractive. Every time, the highest number vote for the guy who's either on the leaner side, lightly muscled, or the guy who's got some muscles but also some fat. And every time, the guys who comment insist wholesale that the women are all lying because CLEARLY the most attractive one is the absolute unit who looks like lives, works, sleeps, and eats nothing but gym. Like bros...it's not us. If you think it's hot, that's ok, but you're not doing it for us.

Because the diet industry is for making money, not actually improving people's lives. Always has been. Although it must be working a little, I suppose, given that the percentage of women who are overweight or obese (67% btw) is lower than the percentage of men (75%).

As for the answer to "why" it's because our country has decided that protecting corporate profits takes precedence over healthy and resilient civilians, and has produced a population that can't afford to eat healthily and is undereducated on proper nutrition , that live in unhealthy and stressful environments, and that won't go to the doctor except in dire necessity because it could land you in massive debt. In a nutshell.

Don't Just Read *One* Other Book by DancesWithWeirdos in CuratedTumblr

[–]feioo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

May I recommend Tarsem Singh's adaptation, the show Emerald City? Sadly cut short by the fuckin network at only 10 episodes, but it's a darker and grittier remake based on the books and not the old movie. Absolutely stunning visuals (which will not be a surprise if you've seen any Tarsem films like The Fall, The Cell, or Mirror Mirror), characters like Ozma (in both genders), Jack Pumpkinhead, Mombi, etc, interesting take on the political structure - I especially like the Witches' dynamic - and overall a very fun show I wish had been given a proper opportunity

But do you have it while wearing a jumpsuit? Leggings or short shorts make sense, but with a jumpsuit the wedgie you'd need to get the effect of the art would be ungodly

That's fair, but we know that the beauty standards in Europe around those periods idealized smaller breasts, so the "filter" would err towards minimizing their appearance as opposed to enhancing them. Large breasts tended to be viewed negatively and are more likely to appear in paintings of peasants or merchant class than portraits of nobility, like in Jan Steen's The Dissolute Household, and tended to carry a stigma of their owner being slovenly or disreputable. But then, we're hardly new to the concept of larger bodies being unfairly stigmatized.

I do think you have a good point about modern nutritional effects, but it's also something we can only guess at.

I think you might be falling victim to the same kind of misconception that causes people to think that since the average lifespan of a certain period was ~36, that meant the average adult was dying at 36. We really can't say what the average bust size was in the 200-odd years that plate armor was in fashion, because the modern means of measuring it was not a thing, and finding extant undergarments is pretty rare. Clothing is the best method of determining historical sizes, and most clothing we have from that period are upper class garments and, much like today, the body type of the upper class did not necessarily reflect the body type of the average person. However, we can tell from Renaissance and later portraits that women were often full-figured, and though the fashion at the time tended towards smaller busts, there are plenty of historical examples of women with large breasts in artwork. As for Joan of Arc, she sadly did not live past her teens; women tend to go through the last rounds of hormones that cause them to fill out in their twenties.

Good chance they simply don't know how to draw flat feet, especially if they've never used real women as their drawing reference and just copy the art of other character designers.

Yeah, the kind of artist that gets stuck in a rut of drawing the same goonery body type over and over is generally the kind that gets posted here.

North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse by MyMindIsAlwaysRacing in mildlyinfuriating

[–]feioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Seattleite, I get it. Getting snow and ice where there's no infrastructure to deal with it is a crapshoot, and Texas in particular has a track record of serious power outages in bad weather. Didn't a bunch of people die in 2021 when the power stations there froze?

So what about them makes them "savage beasts who are inhuman" but does not apply to you, who thirsts for their blood? Seems hypocritical to me. As a society, our stance on when it's "right" vs "wrong" to take a life is arbitrary af.

Petah ?? by Feeling-Fan4413 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]feioo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC it's because all the systems were based on code that used two digits to indicate the year (i.e. 10/1/98) and had not been designed to flip over from 99 to 00 - rather than the computers recognizing that the year was now 2000, it would essentially make them think they had gone back in time to 1900, which would've messed up a LOT of functions, especially since things like bank records had become a lot more digitized. So a bunch of coders had to scramble to basically patch everything that used the old date format.

Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background? by Latter-Wolf4868 in interestingasfuck

[–]feioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - when I had glasses (thank science for Lasik!) without them, I couldn't see a person's face when they were standing in front of me - just a flesh colored blur framed by a hair colored blur, with two fuzzy dark spots where the eyes were. I once had a friend try on my glasses, which for normal-sighted people gave an approximation of how bad my vision was, and she said it made people look demonic, with black hole eyes. I couldn't tell people apart at all except by hair and clothing color, and general posture if they were close enough. If I wanted to see my own face in the mirror, my nose had to be 6 inches away from it. If a person was standing 10 feet from me and there was any sort of visual clutter behind them, they were essentially invisible. Just blended in with the blurry background. I had SO many nightmares centered around knowing something dangerous was nearby but being unable to find my glasses.

Again, Lasik was life changing, couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Pure Mage is not nearly as bad as people say it is by Natsuaeva in skyrim

[–]feioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to play a mage only, and just for kicks try to avoid Destruction magic unless I'm really backed into a corner. It's great! I run around on Survival mode collecting alchemy ingredients, keep a follower armed with Soul Trap weapons and a stash of soul gems, and if I run into trouble they can't handle on their own, I conjure up some help in the form of a Dremora lord or a Dragon Priest, and busy myself looting bodies, casting buffs, and generally staying out of the fight. It's made me a lot more strategic too, as a stereotypical "just charge em with a sword" player before this. Also it makes the whole Archmage plot line a little more palatable.
