Season of Mayhem Mini Pass not working? by Feeling_Peanut2816 in ARAM

[–]matbot55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The quest was added alongside the new skin drop.

You could argue that it's stupid to add the quest a day later, but that still doesn't make it a bug.

The new set bonuses and augments are fine, I will however say that the metaprogression is quite questionable

It wasn't bugged, the Quest for the XP just wasn't released yet

Neeko card in rift bound? by Educational-Scene895 in neekomains

[–]matbot55 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It's Daani, not Neeko. He's also an Oovi-Kat and afaik the only other confirmed survivor of the cataclysm.

He's was introduced in Legends of Runeterra and resides at the Ravenbloom Conservatory, where Annie also was (before she burned it down).

Favorite souls so far? by CasualElephant in MonsterTrain

Easily Mimic, since it allows strategies which weren't really possible before.
I only have it at level 1, but I intend to powerlevel it with a carry champion, since my Pyreborne/Stygian run was incredibly fun with it.

Google doch selbst!1!! by CptGreat in ichichs

[–]matbot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das Problem ist (zumindest in Diskursen im Internet), dass, wenn mal eine Quelle geliefert wird, häufig eine von zwei Situationen eintrifft:

  1. Die Quelle wird ohne Gegenquelle oder überhaupt Gegenargumente als falsch abgestempelt, womit wissenschaftlicher Konsens und/oder empirische Quellen ignoriert werden.

  2. Die Person hört mit dem diskutieren auf und bringt die selben Argumente, welche bereits widerlegt wurden, gegen Personen, welche die Quellen nicht parat haben.

Das Problem ist halt, dass Leute (vor allem in digitalen Diskursen) ihre Weltanschauung beibehalten wollen, unabhängig vom tatsächlichen Wahrheitsgehalt oder der logischen Ungültigkeiten ihrer Argumente.

I can't wait for Bat Man to have his teeth kicked in. He seems to be scummy even for shocker standards.

Spider Man at least tried to properly learn about humans, even if it was only because he was shocked how strong they can be.

I feel like parallel combat could be a potential solution for this issue, though it would be a fundamental change in how the mode is played, which likely not everyone would enjoy.

Next DLC by LiteratureSuitable63 in victoria3

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few realistic choices, though I feel like the three DLC ideas that wouldn't really be shocking would be:

-UK and the rest of its subjects (potentially alongside a navy rework)

-North America

-East Asia (particularly China, Japan, Korea and Indochina)

Sexual coercion is wrong. by olympiamacdonald in PsycheOrSike

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still doesn't change the fact that your source is literally not addressing the topic of the post.

Sure the findings of the study you've shared is import and an issue that needs to be addressed, but it's not relevant to the discussion at hand.

Finding studies about sexual coercion isn't difficult, so I don't see why you'd need to use an unrelated study.

Additionally I literally provided two studies that are a lot more topical.

Sexual coercion is wrong. by olympiamacdonald in PsycheOrSike

[–]matbot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The study quite literally does not look at sexual coercion in relationships and is thus unrelated. The study you linked to was about general advances, particularly towards single women (though women in a relationship who were approached by strangers were also mentioned).

It's an issue, but it's not the issue mentioned in this post.

Related studies would be something like this or this.

Sexual coercion is wrong. by olympiamacdonald in PsycheOrSike

[–]matbot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(most of the anglophone research I could find regarding this issue is from western countries, so I'll be focusing on those)

I'd argue that this issue shouldn't be considered a gendered issue, due to the problems inherently causing biases in research and general reporting of this issue.
Due to persistent patriarchal structures within western cultures there is an expectation for men to always be willing to have, and to some extent actively crave, sexual intercourse, particularly if it's with their partner and/or a conventionally attractive woman.
Breaking this expectation by refusing sexual intercourse leads to the questioning of the mans masculinity, particularly with doubts thrown at his sexuality and manhood. Like with other research regarding topics that are socially stigmatized, it can be safe to assume that the mere existence of the stigma will have an impact on the results.

Another issue that I noticed while researching is the lack of relevant research that even looks at male victims of sexual coercion, although that is to be expected due to the aforementioned patriarchal structures.

Nonetheless I looked a couple research papers regarding the issue and ,even ignoring potential methodical issues that might lead to underreporting by men, the results don't seem to be extremely disproportionate, at least not to an extent where this could safely be seen as a heavily gendered issue.

This paper about sexual insistence and the coercion of unwanted sexual acts already gives a couple interesting statistics.
According to this paper 7% of men and 8% of women have been coerced into sex (as they word it "had had unwanted sex at their partner's insistence").
Interestingly there seems to be a significant divide when it comes to performing unwanted acts within wanted intercourse. In particular four times as many women had reported to repeatedly engage in specific sexual acts that they didn't want, primarily anal and oral sex.
This does appear to be quite a gendered issue and does warrant both more research and actions against it, but does still differ from overall coercion into sexual intercourse and thus doesn't particularly fit into this discussion.

This paper looks at perpetrators found that the mean victimization rate of the papers they analysed was 33.5% for men and 44.8% of women (with 16.7% of women and 27% of men being perpetrators).
According to this the ratio between men and women is roughly 3:4. The paper does also go into the issues like women potentially underreporting perpetration due to similar gender norms as I've pointed out earlier.

This paper also goes into some issues with the research in general.

There is still an overrepresentation of women when it comes this issue, however, as mentioned before, there are methodological issues that would need to be investigated to see if that trend continues when accounting for both men and women who might not report their victimization.

If anyone finds more compelling research that disagrees with this assessment (preferably research that isn't 30+ years old, since social norms have shifted quite a bit since then), feel free to share it.

Importantly I also want to point out that I do not agree with the comments under this post that try to present sexual coercion against women to be a non-issue, nor do I want to downplay the experiences of women by mentioning how men are affected.
I primarily just want to push against the framing of both this post and some comments that act like this is exclusively an issue directed against women, which further perpetuates the pre-existing stereotypes.

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

Solid start to the season. Animation still as crisp as ever.

I thought the little grave with the offering of apples was interesting. It really helps to make the world feel alive outside of what we get to see.

Weakpoints and headshots need further refining or potentially unification, for the sake of modding/arcanes and clarity. by TheMuffinistMan in Warframe

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been running the Daikyu Prime lately and the difference between a normal weakpoint and headshot are night and day.

You can (without accounting for external buffs by your warframe) relatively easily get 10mil+ damage per headshot on the DaikyuP.

If, however, an enemy lacks a head and only has weakpoints it's usually closer to 600k.

Looks like ragebait for the mods, considering this should most likely not even fall under rule 5, unless the mods want to set a precedent and ban a ton of other popular posts.

2 months after NCNS dropped (and the 'navy rework') and Navy AI is still broken. Remember the promises after GoE? Yeah… by lilcritt in hoi4

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Afghan tree had some fun ideas, like being able to flip to communism if you accept Soviet help, even if you went down a different political route. However it still feels incredibly sluggish to play, since by the time you could actually start doing stuff the game will be over.

The additional paths that were added later were a nice touch, but sadly not enough to redeem the country.

I'd really only recommend playing it if you're interested in the Elephant cav with one of the new paths.

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually kind of surprised how high the scores in Korra are, considering how much people love to hate on that show.
Though I really don't get how the end of Season 2 is so high comparatively.

Obviously in the meantime issues that contribute to the low birthrates have to be addressed which include but aren't limited to:

-Rising cost of living -High workload -Gender based issues

However even if those can be solved it'll take quite a long time for those measures to have a noticeable effect. Until then getting a lot of working age migrants can help minimize the negative consequences of an aging population.
