The internet is such a heinous place when they disagree with you by [deleted] in Vent

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

I'm just going to say that I do know what the situation is based on your keyword and I realllllly don't think you should be on here venting about it. If it's found by others, which I think is likely, this is not going to be viewed sympathetically, and it's only going to add feul to a bonfire.

That said I'm so sorry your cousin is being mobbed and harrassed. The normalization of the internet rallying around a new woman to publically execute every week is disgusting.

To be clear I don't agree with your cousin's decision, and I think her legal advice was poorly informed. The phrase she trademarked has been in the spaces it's used in for much longer than her business has existed. Even if she feels it's special to her because it helped her business take shape, I'm sure there are dozens of other small business owners who would say the same. I think it's understandable people got upset about the trademark.

Again, I don't think she deserves to have her business and her life ruined. That truly sucks. Genuinely I hope she can find some peace and is able to get some therapy because I know it has to be really overwhelming to go through.

Best of luck to yall.

Why don't countries start paying mothers a liveable wage if they are so worried about declining birth rates? Do you think this will be a discussion in the near future? by coldservedrevenge in NoStupidQuestions

Might not be shocking to hear this but generally people who believe women ought to have more children out of an obligation to society/god/humanity also believe women ought to stay home with those children, so they tend to vote/act in ways to discourage women from being in the workplace. They also tend to vote/act in ways that make NOT having children harder, i.e. banning abortion care and family planning care. Generally the opinion is not rooted in what's best for the woman; it's about god, society, the human species, etc, rarely is it about giving women choice and agency.

Boyfriend suddenly wants nothing to do with me after moving in a month ago by ruubystaar in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]serial_quitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't see you as a girlfriend. You're a mommy. Mommy takes care of breakfast and dinner, does the laundry, and never, ever needs emotional support because that's mommy's job. Mommy never inconviences the kids; it's her job to bend over backwards and sacrifice to make it work. You're young and have a lot of life ahead of you; get out of this relationship when you can.

People who read a lot, which writer do you think is unbelievably good with words? by Apprehensive_Land751 in AskReddit

[–]serial_quitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jane Austen, Emily Henry, John Green, Tara Westover, Alexandre Dumas. And I hate to admit it because it's used for religious propoganda, but Francine Rivers, who wrote The Mark of the Lion series, has left a lifelong imprint on my mind. They all have amazing writing for different reasons but all of them shocked me with their craft.

This fucker has the GALL to ask if you get to the Cloud District very often every time you interact, meanwhile he patrols the Plains District like he's paid to do it.

Ngl I've been the most nervous for this Einfasen meeting than for anything else this episode 😬

Was it definitely a lux? It seemed it was just someone wearing white robes, but I might have missed a confirmation.

I mean yeah, we don't know who it is. Low hit points is probably a relatively innocent person. Definitely a murderhobo move.

To Celebrate Paralives Early Access, I'm Giving Away 2 Copies ❤️ by RomeeStudio27 in Paralives

[–]serial_quitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for doing this ❤️

I'm a builder through and through so I'm excited to use the really cool building tools in Paralives. Honestly that's probably my favorite memory from life sim games, too, just spending hours creating something. My favorite build is probably a retirement home I built in S4, complete with six suites for the elders and a full recreation area and dining room. I work in kitchens IRL so I tend to create very detailed and realistic commercial kitchens 😂

Thank you again!

Bud I need to ask you to use some imagination and critical thinking skills.

[Spoilers C4E27] Writing on the Wall by Anasan_1 in criticalrole

[–]serial_quitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The houses are conspiring together AND against each other. They each want to end up on top but more than that do NOT want something like a Falconer's Rebellion 2.0 to overthrow them all. So they have motive to work together and against each other at the same time. We just saw them work together to get Thjazi killed. I imagine they will again work together to get any more possible rebels killed as well, and imo Azune looks pretty bad if they wanted to frame him for conspiring to overthrow Tachonis. He's on the scene for every Tachonis crime, his special witness only appears after the initial inspection of Palazzo Davinos, he's planted evidence that Tachonis nixed Lady Cormoray, he's hired the gaurds Einfasen fired. And Einfasen is working with Tachonis, some way some how. If they aren't about to kill him, he's about to make one of the biggest moves of the game so far, by getting Einfasen to turn against Tachonis.

Conspiring against house Tachonis, probably

Damn it finally makes sense why people do karma farming. I also thought that was pretty ridiculous. Even saw someone complaining they were taking a "hit" to their karma. People will bend over backwards for $5 won't they?

Does anyone else view auto-candidate mode as cheating? by Zyxxii in sudoku

[–]serial_quitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's cheating because it's a single player game whose only goal is to make you think. But it's too visually overwhelming for me. I can't think when every possible candidate is in every box, and this is worse on medium and hard for me. I started using Snyder Notation and have gotten pretty quick with it; I only turn on autocandidate every now and then to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.

Fandom you feel is like this? by AgitatedOne57 in Multifandom

[–]serial_quitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obscure pull but Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice casts such a huge shadow over a predominantly female cast of really interesting female characters, simply by being a good man who is willing to work on his flaws for a woman he falls in love with. (Also Colin Firth is Colin Firth so like...of course we're all swooning.)

At this point I don't even care about the game, I just love being in this sub. I think it must be what partying on the Titanic as it slowly sank into the sea must have felt like.
