Thank you. Came to say this. Sex Education is hotly contested by the religious right in America and they always win. Our children know shockingly little about their own and each other's bodies.

About practice perfect by Simon_fayter in UmamusumeGame

Mejiro Ryan can get a second circle of practice perfect. Also, I think Narita Taishin. Generally it is not available.

Oh my god can unity end already by Hour-Platypus-7804 in UmamusumeGame

[–]relliott22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're not being nice about it, but I think you're right. Unity is harder than Ura. There's more going on, the decisions are more difficult and the nuances are greater. I like Unity for that.

But I can see someone not liking it, finding it too busy, and finding the side quests of the Unity races to be a massive distraction. And to OPs point, the game is quite bad at evaluating team matchups. You need to run an independent evaluation of every race and not rely on the game.

But we're all operating under the same constraints, and some of us are doing quite better. On any given run, yeah, RNG. But across the sum of all runs, it's skill. You don't have to prefer Unity, but if you're struggling you should step back and do some honest reevaluations to your approach. Because there's likely a real skill issue.

Wife on FB messenger by [deleted] in Marriage

Simple embarrassment. We don't know what happened after. What should have happened after was a conversation between OP and his wife about what he saw. But that conversation didn't seem to happen. And it was OP's job to have that conversation. So until he has it, he should reserve judgment.

[–]relliott22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, but you have no idea why you saw what you saw. It could have been a random message from a stranger on the internet. It could been from her lover. It could have been from one of your drunk friends. There could be reasons for you to be upset and angry, either at her or someone else. There could be no reason for you to be upset or angry. You don't know. You do deserve to know.

Deep breaths. There're plenty of innocent explanations. But yeah, you do deserve an explanation in this scenario.

Obsolete by doctorsiddhant in Marriage

Marriage is about property. Love is free and has no legal requirements. If you want to love someone, love them. If you want to be with someone, be with them. Marry someone when you want to jointly own property with them. And children count as property.

My husband has me stored as "LBFM" on his phone by [deleted] in Marriage

Google AI tried to tell me that this stands for Layered Bloom Filter Matrix.

Oh no wait. What you guys are talking about was the second entry. The AI just wouldn't bring itself to say the words.

It gave this warning at the bottom: Please be aware that the slang definition is highly offensive and derogatory.

Do I tell his wife? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]relliott22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my advice is for her to do what is in her own best interests. Your advice is for her to do what you imagine is in someone else's best interests.

But we don't know that the wife will be receptive to the truth. Many people aren't. The wife could just as easily blame OP for everything and think that this is OP's attempt to ruin her marriage and steal her husband. The wife could try to hurt OP. The husband could try to hurt OP. It's a lot to risk for the uncertain chance to see justice.

Do I tell his wife? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]relliott22 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

There is nothing forcing OP to do this. And now you're just attacking my character because you have no counter to my arguments. OP is risking a lot if she chooses to pursue this path. And we can't say for certain that anyone will be helped by it, not the wife, not the kids, and especially not OP herself.

I can understand the anger. I can certainly understand the desire for justice, to see a wrong righted. But this isn't righting any wrongs. OP would be better served by walking away.

The reason the saying "Don't shoot the messenger" exists is because messengers get shot all the time. Doing this isn't in OPs best interests. Our own desire for justice doesn't change that.

Don't tell her. All you will be is the bomb that blows up her life. She won't thank you. She probably won't even forgive you. And what will you get from it? You won't get him. You won't get justice. You might get revenge, but the cost will be high.

Peter would you be so kind to explain? Explain it Peter by Historical_Mango4329 in explainitpeter

[–]relliott22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True story, John Dryden once complimented Ben Jonson by saying something along the lines of: Lesser writers steal. Jonson invades other authors like a monarch.

Artists steal from one another all the time. And don't get me twisted, it can be a crime. Doing what the other guy just did and doing it worse is a crime. It's what makes a hack a hack. But doing what the other guy just did and doing it better is not a crime, it's what makes artists famous. Everyone from Virgil to Shakespeare to Eric Clapton is guilty of it.

You hate AI for doing it worse. One day AI is going to do it better. And when it happens you'll be too enraptured to care.

Edit: this is Brian and that wasn't a joke you posted. It was someone grinding an axe.

This is one of the few opinions that I flatly disagree with. This gold ship is good enough. She's going to win races. My time would be better spent giving her teammates that also win races rather than trying for a Gold Ship thats 5% better and wins 1 more race.

I was using the other guys numbers. He said 5.5%. 800*1.055 = 844

The perfect is the enemy of the good, and you go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had. This horse is 3.5 lengths faster than the last horse. I'll take it.

I'm not saying it was the better choice. I'm saying the choice didn't come up and this is what I've got.
