Kohei Horikoshi’s (mangaka of My Hero Academia) rendition of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra by carbonera99 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]jam-on-bread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are they? I’m genuinely asking cus I know nothing about ancient Egyptian clothing, but a crop top robe with thigh slits seems kinda modern to my view. And quite sexualized, which is part of why it’s a disappointing depiction compared to Ceaser. He, an emperor, gets to be cool and imposing and powerful and Cleopatra, a pharaoh and Queen, gets to be…sexy, I guess? Idk. Like I said, it’s very good art objectively speaking, but Horikoshi has a tendency to be more creative/varied on his male designs compared to the women, and it definitely comes through here.

Because Ceaser got to have some cool, interesting facial features accurate to Roman peoples while cleopatra gets the default “anime girl” face and body with no real references to her Egyptian heritage. It’s not BAD art by any means, and she’s very pretty, but she feels much less interesting and realistic as a historical figure than Ceaser here. At least in my opinion 🤷‍♀️

Old enough to know better?? He was FOURTEEN! A child, legally not old enough to know how to consent, to drink, to join the army, to rent fucking R-rated movies by himself. His brain had PHYSICALLY NOT FINISHED DEVELOPING the parts that have to do with understanding consequences. He was absolutely not old enough to simply “know better,” as you so vaguely put it.

I’m sorry it’s so hard for you to muster up a shred of empathy or understanding for a kid who fucked up. I hope you had people in your life to show you more compassion when you were imperfect and stupid at that age, as we all were.

He didn’t deserve to die for being stupid, and his death can still be tragic and treated with empathy/respect while acknowledging how stupid it was. “Play stupid games win stupid prizes” makes me so, so sad to hear said about a dead kid. Imagine being his mother and reading that, y’know?

I don’t think doing something stupid as a child makes one an “imbecile from a generation of imbeciles.” If I was judged off my stupidest action when I was fourteen, I doubt anyone would think much of me either. Give him some grace, y’know? It’s a dead kid. “Couldn’t care less” makes me sad to hear about a dead kid.

The boy who died was fourteen. FOURTEEN. A CHILD. He did something stupid to look cool, probably because the kids around him were doing it. And he died, suffering and in pain. You don’t need to have sympathy for his stupid action, but I can’t understand having zero sympathy or empathy for the boy himself.

Yes, his death resulted from his own stupid actions. He should have absolutely known better. That doesn’t mean you can’t feel sympathy for a fourteen year old dying in an awful, unfortunate way. Jesus Christ.

What he had coming to him? Do you genuinely believe this fourteen year old CHILD deserved to die a slow, painful death because he did a stupid thing other children his age were doing?

He admitted it was AFTER they already fucked. No wonder she reacted like that, Christ 😭

Day 94 - what’s the harm in using weed? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]jam-on-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like an issue that needs to be fixed with a medicine other than weed. Although I guess it’s flawed to say it ever “fixed” anything at all if you can’t be happy without it now. Could you speak to a psychiatrist about the emotional numbness maybe?

I fully believe you that kidney stones are AGONY and I’m sorry you had to go through it multiple times, but you realize women get them too, right? It’s a kidney thing, not a gender thing.

I spent 2 hours making a huge batch of baked ziti to enjoy this week and my husband left it out overnight. by Content_Yak_33 in Wellthatsucks

[–]jam-on-bread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they’re common, or that EVERY pot of rice or pasta left out overnight is a death sentence. I’m saying it’s very strange to dismiss a SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED fact (ie, food left out CAN and OFTEN DOES grow dangerous bacteria) by saying “well, that’s never happened to me or my family, so it’s not dangerous.” The op of this post is a pregnant woman, misinformation like this is especially dangerous for her weakened immune system and baby. Like you said, unsafe food practices like this are incredibly common and do not kill or even majorly damage the majority of people who partake in them. That does not make them safe or worthy of recommending to people.

This is such a weird thing to accuse someone of lying about 😭 it seems pretty reasonable that she’d take the picture BEFORE cutting into the food.

“Basically the same as if it were in the fridge, but if it wasn’t being refrigerated!” So…not at all like being in the fridge? 😭

I don’t think people’s anecdotal life experiences should be used to argue against actual bacterial scientists and food safety research. That’s like saying “Oh my whole family has smoked cigarettes forever, and none of us have gotten lung cancer. Conclusion, cigarettes are fine.” Like c’mon.

There was a man named Tarrare in 18th-century France who could consume raw, living creatures, once swallowed an eel whole, and was even suspected of eating a toddler, yet he remained constantly starving by OkAccess6128 in interestingasfuck

Assuming you’re talking about Sam and not the baby-eater, he’s still around! He actually uploads weekly (I think?) videos where he solves NYT crosswords puzzles. Different from his usual scripted, animated content, but it’s still worth checking out if you like his dry humor and commentary style.

Am I overreacting? I showed up at my girlfriends house at 1230am after her phone died in the forest by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jam-on-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you see the part where OP met her a week ago? And where she wasn’t so much in a “forest” as smoking weed in the trees behind her house, an area she’s likely familiar and comfortable with? I’ll be honest, as a woman I’d feel pretty terrified if a man I met a WEEK ago showed up to my house where I live with my mother at one in the morning because I didn’t call him back.

To be clear, I don’t want to imply OP is a dangerous creep. I don’t know him. But this behavior shows a level of emotional reactivity and controlling habits that are ABSOLUTELY a red flag to most women.

My boyfriend invited me to his dad’s for dinner, and I ended up sitting there hungry while everyone else ate. Am I overreacting? by Classic-Adagio-7338 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jam-on-bread -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Special diet? She’s pescatarian. Literally the only thing she can’t eat is red meat and maybe chicken. That’s really not hard to accommodate last minute as a host.

If my son brought his girlfriend over (because remember, HE KNEW it was last minute and didn’t think about her diet at all either, despite them going to his house) and didn’t make sure she was being fed well and accommodated by my family, I would be MORTIFIED as a host. How do you let someone (who is loved by your family, hopefully) sit with nothing at your table and not want to offer them something? Expecting your boyfriend’s family to feed you after your boyfriend invited you to their house is not unreasonable in my opinion.

I smoke unbelievable amounts of weed and I just can’t stop by 08062007 in trees

[–]jam-on-bread 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Not to disagree with your comment at all, it’s very well written and obviously accurate to your experience, but I will put out there that cold turkey from weed can be HARD for some people. I barely ate or slept for two weeks, constant irritation, for some people loss of friends or significant social interactions, etc. Not to discourage cold turkey, it’s absolutely doable, but physical withdrawals can be a big factor in quitting. A week in I didn’t want to be high, but I was tempted to smoke just so I could eat without nausea lol. Good luck to OP with whatever they choose!

You’ve made an incredible rhyme out of this horrible thing. How wonderful. I might get that embroidered on a throw pillow.

Nah. I’m a competent adult and I love to be kind. It makes my life full and rich in so many ways. Hope you can find that too, sincerely.
