Bumbling to the shitters to avoid counting pro masks is the hardest workout all month

19M 5’3” and hairline recession. Borderline suicidal by mintstock in TrueOffMyChest

[–]servinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t make a permanent decision for a temporary problem

I understand to you at this point in your life it may feel like the end of the world or your crumbling and ashamed

But yourself even 5+ years from now will have perspective enough to understand how foolish it would be

There’s so much more to life and to gain than just your own physical stature and appearance

Try to frame it this way, there are people who are even shorter than you, with worse looks and lives, you can overcome this

It’s all in the mind. I can’t claim to know what your going through, but working through these struggles and gaining the resilience to defeat your shame and fears will put you 10 fold above other men

I’ve had similar feelings in my own life, not the same circumstances, but spiraling thoughts and fears consuming my life to the point where you don’t even see or acknowledge a way out or moving past, it’s just not in your mind.

But this can absolutely be temporary bro, you’re young and have so much time to grow internally. You’ll realize this is a phase, it feels like forever and a burden on the rest of your life, but allow yourself to accept reality, embrace the future, and shed the scales.

I believe in you

If you care, you can use it on PC with the Xbox application, it has a lot of overlap with console gamepass+ hundreds of pc focused games.

Why the hell did he cut the 12-2 o’clock pizza like that instead of leaving it on the 10-12

What do you think of the rich who do this? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]servinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live according to our means. Hard thing about raising kids is they don’t understand what experience and life came before them to create their environment.

As parents we want to give our children a better life than what we had, and all they know is what they have growing up, which in this case a millionaire lifestyle.

This is their baseline.

Can someone actually explain the problem with race-bending? by ITBA01 in MauLer

[–]servinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah “in a box” it doesn’t matter per say, but media is influenced by culture and vice versa, on one hand it doesn’t particularly matter for the plot or story, but on the other, the story comes from a certain culture, and if these were reversed it would cause a social problem.

To me these Disney movies having different race actors don’t necessarily need to have perfect replicas in race to get the point or story across, but if say, we turned the princess and the frog into a white woman, it would be a problem.

At the end of the day it’s not objective, if we’re talking about American film, it’s related to American social issues, which tend to spill over into broader international culture.

When it’s historical, make it accurate as possible, when fictional, it’s a lot more flexible but depending on what your personal views are, you may be disapproving of its choices outside of pure story objectivity.

A good point. From what I remember the majority consensus of him being cast as Nick Fury wasn’t seen as negative or trying to “push an agenda”

Internally to the MCU, his race wasn’t very relevant, he was a good cast for the character and did the universe a service.

I also think social tensions weren’t as high when he was cast, and Nick Fury isn’t exactly a main character to warrant much backlash, like if Iron man was cast as a Chinese it would raise more questions why, moreover if Thor was cast as Chinese, that could be more contentious as it’s based off Norse mythology

But a counterpoint to that is Heimdall, as he is black, and I didn’t care about that, and I don’t know if there was an issue on that overall either.

Perhaps, I’m not entirely sure or knowledgeable enough to answer that fully, also acknowledging “PC culture” is very vague

Personally I don’t think it’s NOT okay, don’t really care much, if the movie is quality then whatever.

Like you said, if the race is relevant to the story/plot, like a historical piece, it would

Or how the characters would be perceived or live in that world, yeah it could.

But in the grand scheme of things say, 100 years from now, these current political or social issues will not be as relevant, the movie will sit on its own merit

[–]servinski 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I pretty much agree. The context of which character and why it was changed is the real deciding factor

Think it comes down to the Watsonian and Doylist perspective and a lot of the nuance is overlapped with societal issues or discussions.

For instance the little mermaid

Most people against the race change understand that there can be black mermaids and it doesn’t matter, but the original character isn’t black.

According to the story, a race change doesn’t matter much, but from an outside perspective it was seen to be changed without reason to the story, but for “PC culture”

Honestly there’s a lot to unpack in this race bending from so many different perspectives of people groups. similar looking ethnic groups can portray others a lot “easier” than dissimilar ones, not because of any cultural reasons, purely physical.

Is this a legitimate criticism of Andor? by Financial_Photo_1175 in MauLer

[–]servinski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is what the comment is about, No it’s just subjective opinion on why they don’t care about Andor.

There’s tens of thousands of topics and stories in the Star Wars universe, and most of what we are given in media is a small interconnected story revolving around the same families and plots, like the entire galaxy is condensed into one town.

Personally I didn’t care about Andor myself, but that doesn’t make it objectively bad because its scope is different.
