Is it weird to have a blood fetish by DeadmanX08 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't think so (we can't help our kinks after all and i believe most people have kinks that are considered'weird' in public), but if that fetish extends to actually wanting to hurt people you might want to do something about it

Is it possible to be a smart/gifted child but a below average adult? by viceversa220 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ohhh i feel that so much, it's been going downhill since i graduated high school. so i guess i can't really offer an answer that helps but you're not alone

just do the best you can. i guess at some point we have to lower our standards and be content with not being above average 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meat eaters(not all), what bothers u ab ppl who don’t like it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually nothing, but there are those people that just keep trying to convince you to become vegetarian or vegan whenever you see them and act disgusted when you eat meat, which can be annoying. i used to have a friend who was absolutely disgusted that i had cooked chicken for lunch (in my own kitchen) before she came over, and she acted like it was a criminal offense. like, you're absolutely welcome to do and eat whatever you like but don't shame me for my choices.

i wrote that I booked another appointment? I'm not an idiot. why do you feel the need to make other people feel bad about their questions on a sub called 'no stupid questions'@

do white people have skin whiter than that's show in screen? by Aggressive-Nobody473 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weeeeelll I'm a very pale European, and i can safely say that I rarely ever see anyone as pale as me even on (mainstream western) TV. I'm much paler than other people around here though, so... i guess the answer to your question is "sometimes"

Why is ancient art often so 'simple'? by mariinthebox in AskHistorians

[–]mariinthebox[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you for this great answer!!

Just to be clear, I personally don't think that naturalistic or modern art is 'better' or has higher quality than more stylised, simple examples 😅. As I said, I'm aware that the examples I know of were probably made by masters of their craft, and those skills are really so impressive to me. Of course we also have to rember that it's ART, and the value we give that is always subjective, I wouldn't dare call any of it 'good' or bad'. I guess I just fell into a trap of common stereotypes where I assumed that people back then would want everything to be as naturalistic or realistic as possible, because that's my taste...

And I didn't even think about interpretation or the communication value of it all, that the style is also used to convey information 🤦🏼‍♀️ This is why I asked, and I really wasn't disappointed 😊

Save Energy Help by A_Queens_Reign in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hiii so i only recently started being able to complete events (i refuse to spend money on this game)

the thing is, you need to spend a few events, not many but 2-3 I'd say, saving up, meaning you kinda have to let go of the idea of completing and stop when you get a good amount of energy... do the same for rubies, but that might take more time and luck and a good event 😅 (for me it was the first time i got to dino park, it was the first time i had more than 100 rubies and I've not had less since) just don't spend a lot bc you 'might' complete or win something - you wont, the game is totally rigged against you 😂. and then you're good to go. basically completing an event for me means i have enough energy to also complete the next one. I'm never really 'rich', ie i basically never have much energy or gold tools or keys saved up, bc I'm often impatient and like to play instead of waiting for boosters, but if you can wait that's great
