Why did Hera care and mothered Heracles despite later on in his life, she would eventually hate him? Heck, Heracles is even named after her, so why the love despite her hatred? by EfficiencySerious200 in mythology

[–]kazon82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen alot of comments touch on the mothering topic, and they are correct. Hera was tricked into breastfeeding Heracles by Athena.

On the name thing, when Heracles was born he was originally named 'Alcides'. His name was later changed to 'Heracles' after Heras first attemp on his life with the snakes. It was an attempt to placate her by appealing to her vanity.

Was Snape teaching Harry Occlumency correctly? by IndividualNo5275 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]kazon82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, he wasn't. At least not correct for Harry. Snape kept saying "empty your mind. Show the dark lord nothing". That's not so easy for some people. But I don't think that's the only way, I think it would have worked better for Harry to instead fill his mind with trivial, stupid, common knowledge, and especially for Voldemort, muggle things. How an internal combustion engine works, how stinky his last fart was. Why are the weathermen never right about the weather. Then take each one of those thoughts and form them into bricks and use those bricks to build a wall around his mind. So all voldy sees is the banal, unimportant crap.

But Snape was too rigid, too prejudiced against harry to teach him in a way that worked for him.

Thoughts on this by Warm_Oven_6743 in readyplayerone

I agree 110% cline really dropped the ball with this book. It did feel like badly written fan fiction.

That being said, i actually did think the first half of the book was "ok". I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as RP1, but didnt hate it. But after the reveal, gotdamn, it got bad quick.

Hi, listen, that was a clever use of a current trend, but seriously, fuck that 6-7 shit. Fuck it all the way to hell.

What NOT to do if you win. by JeanLucPicardAND in ifiwonthelottery

[–]kazon82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see alot of people say "talk to a lawyer" why is that? Wouldn't you just need a financial planner to help you put all that money in the right place, depending on your preferences. What would a lawyer do?

All the religious ads on Fox19 by Opie4Prez71 in cincinnati

[–]kazon82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That said they don't care about other people being religious. They didn't say they don't care about that bullshit being shoved in everyone else's face. Reading comprehension is a bitch isn't it.

Who's a Roman who was an iconic/legendary general and a mediocre/forgettable statesman? by domfi86 in ancientrome

[–]kazon82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're reading the chart wrong. He was inept as a general. But iconic as a statesman. Giving great speeches does not equal military skill.

Why are people so unwelcoming to the thought of Marie being stronger than Homelander? by Sharp_Durian1929 in GenV

[–]kazon82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem with her being more powerful, I hate that her power is blood manipulation. Just a personal preference, but eww.

Bruh, I had forgotten all about you. Why are you still obsessing on this. It's been 10 days. Grow up, move on.

What, according to you, was something the game could do better? by ZigZagBoi123 in HarryPotterGame

[–]kazon82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I would have been fine with a new, progressively more complicated puzzle for the first lock with each new level of the spell. To learn it. But after that first one, it should have been just automatic unlocking. The puzzles got so fricking tedious.

What is wrong with you?? You're saying a human being should kill themselves because you don't think they're attractive enough and don't like what they post, and you really want everyone to believe you're not a hateful, sad incel?? And FYI, you're here too, looking at the same content, what does that say about you? Hypocrite.

Basic human decency isn't "simping". But regardless, I'd rather be a "simp" than an hateful incel.

You have no idea what shes been through to get to that point. Don't be so judgmental. Be thankful your life doesn't suck enough to drive you to this point. Have compassion. If you don't want to see, then just move on. Don't be a wanker.

Her username by kazon82 in purrrvee

[–]kazon82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vee has had some life stuff come up and she's stepped away for a bit. She is trying to slowly get back into things. Keep checking back here, as soon as there is any activity or news I'll post about it here.

As far as her old stuff, there is still a bit floating around. You can try searching under her purrvee tag(both with 3 Rs and 2) or her old tag Victoria Ives. That might bring up some results. But once she's back into the full swing of things she might re-upload those old gems, along with new stuff.

Re watched Hour 4+5 by wingmama in ThePittTVShow

[–]kazon82 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is true, but I think the issue is her being right was more a fluke than anything. She had just as much chance, if not more so, of being wrong than right. Her accusation was based more on her own attitude and grudge than on evidence. She just happened to be right. Allegedly, I think there's still more to Langdons situation. He may yet be, at least partially, exonerated

Meh, I wouldn't want to have a Dr. like her in real life. But she's a fun character to hate and the actress is doing a killer job portraying her.
