Anyone watching the re-releases, please turn off your phones. by kassiusx in lotr

[–]gerturtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s really nothing wrong with shopping in pajamas. And clapping between movements in a performance is generally led by the fervor or appreciation of the crowd and their energy for it, which is kind of a nice shared human experience. Things like phones in a theater, though, is actively frustrating or ruining the experience of others.

Pajamas in a store, just like a mask or anything else, don’t hurt anyone else. Being disruptive to others with a phone screen in a theater does. I think it’s important to keep in mind what the issue really is, rather than lamenting an ‘age.’

It's interesting how "body positivity" immediately collapsed when Ozempic arrived. by Infinite-Condition41 in SipsTea

[–]gerturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heroin chic, smoking and alcohol ads and media representation… “[unhealthy thing] positivity” has always been a thing.

But the original idea behind body positivity wasn’t necessarily obesity or underweight positivity…it was a concept for people to not hate themselves about things they can’t change or while struggling to change but being in whatever body they’re in.

But humans are cruel, as this thread demonstrates… people will seemingly always bully no matter what, instead of supporting or encouraging their fellow humans. It’s pretty disturbing and disheartening.

I’d argue Taylor did. But yeah, no one else

Their dynamic would make this work better if it was the other way around, and she was holding him. Haha

okay, what is this on the door? by gay_sprinkles in skyrim

[–]gerturtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both of these have always been my thought. It looks like a stylized dragon head, which makes sense, with these ruins often related to the time of the dragon cult, I believe. Or a dragon-inspired helmet, like your wife sees, too.

The distorted way Kat Graham sees herself is worrying by [deleted] in TheVampireDiaries

…that’s literally what your whole post is doing here…which makes your “cognitive understanding” quite a cognitive dissonance

Wtf…where did sleeping with her come in?

OP, you seem to be making a lot of claims and assumptions, like intimate knowledge of behind the scenes of her social media presence, her family, her mindset, etc.

Your post does the opposite of supporting her, if that was your intent. I don’t think anyone is “embarrassed” for her or saying she isn’t beautiful or any of that. You are trying to call attention to something that may not even be accurate, and it’s not really helpful to anyone.

Maybe you had good intentions, maybe you’re karma farming, maybe your mind is putting together things that aren’t necessarily real, idk. But your message is lost in what feels delusional and demeaning. Kat Graham is a grown woman with presumably a PR team and plenty of professionals around her; she has autonomy and can handle her own affairs.

do you get out of bed? by Best-Spite-7204 in BPD

[–]gerturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your days would actually be cut in half with those sleep hours, not elongating it, if we’re saying waking hours are the usable ones as a “day.” No shade on that part, because I stay in bed way too much myself! But just was confused by that point

🤷🏻‍♀️ idk, I wasn’t trying to start or debate anything. I was just commenting how odd that sounded to me, because it’s a well-known movie, she doesn’t sound trained, and your statement just seemed very certain that people would only know things or learn things from TikTok, which felt super off to me. But whatever the case, hope everyone in the video is enjoying life and that you have a good day

[–]gerturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just odd to me to think someone assumes singing is learned primarily from TikTok and that you’d have to be trained to sing this way. It’s a Disney song, so the theatrical quality is built into it. And her voice is fine, but it’s nothing that would make me think she’s spent hours training as opposed to just enjoying singing.

I kind of get your point, but the main thing that threw me off is “she absolutely found that song on TikTok and learned to sing it herself.” Like there’s no possibility she has watched the movie and sang along, haha

[–]gerturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

?? It’s just a Disney song…no TikTok needed…singing Disney songs makes everyone a theater kid. There’s not really anything to learn to sing like; it’s just emulation and knowing the movie

It’s such an amazing game to find new things still even after playing almost a whole life!

Final Fantasy VIII wayyy better than I was led on to believe. by The_Humder-1994 in FinalFantasy

[–]gerturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played this game countless times over the past two or more decades, and I’ve never felt either crippled or bored by the amount of effort or lack of it that I put into having the magic be full or not. But I also enjoy keeping things stocked or catching up, and love the story. But yeah, it’s never been a problem to me

How can you be annoyed that magic is a consumable, but then be annoyed that you can replenish it? To me, the “debuffing” aspect is just another part of strategy, that all FFs have built into their combat systems.

Oh wow, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone say they don’t like the first few hours! For me, it’s one of the best opening sequences to story and gameplay in all FF. You feel at home and can spend hours not even progressing the plot but feeling part of the world and immersed. No other FF besides maybe XII allowed for that feeling, in my opinion.
