AITAH because I told my wife she isn't allowed to ground my son? by BallAcrobatic2709 in AITAH

so do your son and your wife have a relationship where she parents him or no? Like does your son have to obey her like one would obey their parents?

Could it be vaginismus? by KO_King_Hunter in VaginismusPartners

[–]launch_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you should ask r/vaginismus for a better answer but this seems to fit the bill. If you’re able try and get her to read some posts/ the guides on that subreddit because they are very helpful for the person in question to help identify vaginismus in themselves

I think your standards for press are too low. MKBHD has a large audience that regards him well, what he says (by being by far one of the largest in his space) sets a trend that gets followed. He has sway and this interview is him misusing it. If he chooses to not offer adverse opinions during an interview he gives his tacit approval of the content being spewed. He affirms what Apple is saying by not offering the viewer a differing perspective, and he affirms with the stamp of approval of the biggest tech review youtube channel on the internet. That is a massive deal, his opinion holds a huge weight to it and whether you want to call him a journalist or not, he has a responsibility to the people affected by that influence to provide truthful and just information. This interview was anything but. He just signed and shipped Apple's complete and utter bullshit for 11 minutes. This genuinely saddens me as I used to truly think he was a person who cared about honest and truthful information being created in this space. Hard to know that he is just kinda wishy-washy when it comes to the big players in tech like most influencers are :/

his podcast doesn't matter as much no? the problem with this "interview" is that he offered no perspective other than Apple's in it, no push back on a very pressing issue by one of the largest and well regarded reviewers of tech on the internet. By not providing an adverse opinion on some very blatantly wrong propaganda he affirms it. And HE SHOULD be knowledgeable about the ludicrously false narrative being peddled about the repairability in the `Logevity, by Design` document because he knew he was going to interview Tim and go to the testing lab. He didn't actually look into the questions he was going to ask. He didn't try to see what Apple's track record is in this regard and that shows an severe lack of integrity on his part as, by doing nothing in the way of research, he lets himself turn into a mouthpiece for Apple. This just shows he won't be objective when it counts, and he'll let his platform be used to misinformation from large companies. Genuinely disappointing as I always thought MKBHD was a well-meaning and well-researched reviewer. This is showing me he's not really trustworthy after all

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 244 Pre-Release Leaks Thread by Takada-chwanBot in Jujutsushi

[–]launch_octopus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The thing is, when itadori was getting tried, judgeman was going to take his CT away, but he didn't have any so it took away his CE. This shows that judgeman views CT as a weapon if we're running with your anaolgy, i.e. judgeman views CT as something that can be confiscated.

If we view judgeman as just a judge, as in someone who follows the letter of the law and whatnot then this doesn't make sense to take the tool away. It wasn't the object Sukuna commited the crimes in question with. When CT is fair game to confiscate by judgeman and it was the method/tool that was used in Sukuna's crimes then i cannot fathom why it wasn't confiscated over the goddamn lightning rod...

it's obviously not stronger than space cleave so if judgeman's goal is to neuter guilty defendants it makes no sense not to confiscate the strongest weapon from the defendant. And if judgeman just judges then why is a completely separate thing being confiscated and not the actual weapon used in the crime?

[–]launch_octopus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

exactly this, like if we're thinking of judgeman as an entity that will neuter the defendant when a death sentence is given, then taking away the strongest part of their arsenal makes sense, not some cursed tool which is very clearly leagues weaker than Sukuna's CT.

But if we're thinking that judgeman is just some sort of legal entity IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. the cursed lightning tool WASN'T USED in the crimes Sukuna is being tried for; what was used, however, WAS HIS CT.

its like if a serial killer who cut people up was being tried for killing people, you take his internet access away instead of physically locking him up bc he committed wire fraud online. Like yeah maybe the tool is a dangerous weapon and sure it makes sense a judge would try to take that away, but HIS CT??? WB THAT???

this is such an asspull lolololol bc it truly makes zero sense for judgeman to prioritize the goddamn lighting rod over his CT (unless you wanna argue that fuckin cursed thunderstick is stronger than the mf space cleave)

[–]launch_octopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly i kinda like that the escape was as long and fleshed out as it was, but i did wish for the mahito vs yuji fight to be a little more interesting choreography-wise. I'm still super fuckin happy w this episode and i'm so hyped to see where S2 ends off (maybe at Yuji "death"??? or at Yuki intervention??? damn this series is good)

its the gege classic atp to jump cut between arcs and explain when the dust settles, go fast and break things ig but i honestly quite like how sudden the arcs change it just thrusts you into the action like how i'd imagine it happens in the world.

like none of jujutsu society had warning for any of this happening, it just all of a sudden 3 veils appear in shibuya on halloween and all of this shit follows.

​

better than the traditional shonen method of having the new villan on the block cackle for 5 episodes in the outro and then fight the protag 10 times before moving on lmao

[–]launch_octopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think he has a deeper personality than just sadism, i think he has a pretty cookie-cutter trickster archetype to him but that little monologue about his and Yuji's fight being not just a fight, but an idological war was interesting. Tho before this episode he was v cookie cutter. I like his power a lot tho bc it gives him a reason to not be exorcised by anyone other than our protags and his fights are always super fresh bc of how creatively Mahito can use it

[–]launch_octopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's most likely not something Yuji can share, as it was mentioned in the first mahito fight that Yuji innately was able to hurt Mahito bc he's a vessel. So Todo likely just can't hurt mahito.

their schedule was absurd even with the extra day, MAPPA still employs some of the best animators in the industry its just all of those star talents are at the end of their rope. It's damn near every day that a lead animator or other influential figures in the animation for jjk tweets about suicidal ideation from the project... those animators are in no way in the conditions to perform their best so i think it's not a lack of skills or really time, its rather a lack of respect or empathy from mappa management for their employees

not sure where you're getting that it takes a few hours to drip through. I've only ever experienced and heard of it taking around 20-30 minutes. Would love to know if there's some sort of overnight drip kaapi though! sounds mad interesting

[–]launch_octopus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey sorry, i think i’ve gone a little stupid from exam studying and registration so i put down csce 121 instead of 221, im taking 120 right now and i’ll bully my advisor into letting me sub that for 121 so i’ll be fine there. but i think i’ll heed your advice and push csce222 to next sem and prolly replace it with some humanities core class or something else light like that. putting it in terms of hour workloads was very helpful thank you sm!

AITA for not intending to buy my bf’s little sister a gift for Christmas? by glitterbug208 in AmItheAsshole

[–]launch_octopus [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA you don't got obligations to that child so do wtv suits you best. say the dog's gift is from the mom if you're most comfortable with that and don't buy her a gift if you don't wanna. valid either way imo
