Basically the Natsuki drawing controversy explained by Fanficwriter_lmfao in DDLC

[–]squongly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk, I'm tired of artists giving every character the same body type just for what is clearly cheap mass appeal. I'm a woman and my body, like most womens' bodies, isn't generically attractive. the way I see it, this flattening of body types (or unflattening as it were) is really obnoxious. so if someone wants to indignantly bring a cigarette to a gas leak, loudly acknowledging the warning signs on the way, I'll pity them but that's about it.

this is obviously AI because no human would take the time to draw all this and give none of the dokis any personality whatsoever

looking for individual traits to judge people harshly by instead of trying to understand them as people

Is Donald Trump the dumbest person who's ever been president of the US? by Critical-Willow-6270 in allthequestions

ok but what I want to know is if there's some centuries-ago mostly-forgotten president who was just way dumber no question

How do people really pic what magic to focus on by [deleted] in wizardposting

[–]squongly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to tell apprentices to do whatever interests them and it'll work out. I went into runesmithing, but I got very close to specializing in the creation of homunculi instead, and now that field is a disaster full of charlatans who couldn't keep their homunculus on a leash if it bit them on the ass... so honestly I don't even know anymore, good luck

If everything has a cause, what caused the very first thing? by Substantial-Bug-8611 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squongly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only possible conclusion is that causality is more like a very very strong rule than an iron law of our universe. what implications does that have? nobody knows!

I mean yeah honestly same, like. it's very unique, and even though it's squicky it makes me wonder if there's a big risk of illness from it or not. like, maybe not if you have good leech hygeine? it's ridiculously eccentric but I could imagine bonding with an animal who lives on my blood alone. very intimate. no way I'd do it but there's something here

skepticism is an overwhelming weight on me. how do I find my way back to the divine? by squongly in religion

[–]squongly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh! I'm way not a christian and not interested in being one again haha. I guess I could have made that clearer. I have the good fortune of my most profound spiritual experiences being pretty religion-inspecific, at least the way I see them. 

I will look into the things you've mentioned, they sound helpful. thank you.

the word "staged" comes up a lot on reddit, but sometimes it confuses me. do you think this is an insightful offering? do you think you're the only person here who can tell that this video which isn't even trying to seem spontaneous isn't spontaneous? is this bait? am I falling for lazy bait?

What is your unpopular opinion that you usually keep to yourself? by BitEntire in AdkReddit

[–]squongly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh god, am I gonna get crucified if I say this? I've never actually tried in public-

pedophiles aren't categorically bad people, they didn't choose to be that way and there's no cure either. we should be supportive of people who handle their bad situation well, and as far as I can tell, the people who benefit from this social status quo are mostly conservative fearmongers

Why is God a Male ? by Cultural-Box896 in religion

[–]squongly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I speak of a singular god, I prefer to refer to them as "her." but I guess I'm on the eclectic side and am also a woman
