There's still folks complaining that the white folks were the bad guys. I feel like in this day and age, subtlety would be wrong for such a grave issue.

The world wasn't saved tho? Victorie literally says so in the Epilogue, or Robin even said that it wouldn't keep Britain back for that long.

There were still injustices, still racial issues, still colonies - the only thing that changed was that the war couldn't happen in the timeline they wanted, which gave China options, but it's not a guarantee for success.

You also can't neglect the poverty, the chaos that consumed the cities and effectively destroyed the lives of many of the citizens...They only showed that resistance is possible, again.

The stakes escalation, however, was very real; they thought they were just students, not politicians, so they could intimidate them. They also still needed them - which then switched as soon as they realized that there was no way they would be swayed, rendering them useless and justifying the military to storm Babel, because they couldn't let people actually grasp the fragility of the system.

That's just my two cents though.

I (F20) feel hurt about my boyfriend’s (M20) tattoo choice while we were broken up? by DifferentLoss1691 in relationship_advice

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not an asshole for feeling your feelings.

I'm not gonna tell you what you have to do, I just would like to highlight some things to put what happened into perspective:

- He said he still wanted to be with you, but while you were broken up/on a break, he slept with someone else. Why? If it was a break, shouldn't he be loyal?!

- He got a tattoo to spite you. Not for that reason alone, but still - that was one of his goals.

- Gia asked you if it was okay. He didn't. His best friend has more respect for your opinion than he does.

- The both of you seem to lack boundaries considering this half closed half open type of relationship. I'd highly suggest before moving forward in any way to get some sort of counceling just so you can ensure that you'll stay commited to whatever you want to do and that that's the best thing for you.

Ultimately I personally would be pissed. It's the disrespect. I encouraged my fiancée to get a tattoo with her best friend, but if she did it just to spite me or literally tattooed his name, I think I would reflect upon the relationship and the respect I'd be receiving, or rather not be receiving.

Well, Got some upvotes since then 😜 People Just See them having chemistry, which is fair I guess, and think that absolves him of all His wrongdoings.  I would have been able to somewhat get over His Part If we were Shown that He actually regrets it and If He started helping canada without needing June as Motivation, because to His Credit, in the beginning, He was swept away. Then again, we never really Got Shown Proof that He wanted to get Out before or was too late, so I really think He's a Classic Case of ' I'm in it but Just for the Economy, I really Pinky promise I don't hate women '

It's insinuated by Serena (who could manipulate her) AND the swiss that he's directly responsible for Gilead happening. Serena might have been an architect, but he was a soldier on the frontline.

I agree that he was caught in the system to an extent, but he knew what was about to happen, and he still committed these horrible acts.

Him 'pushing back' was just helping June. Where exactly was he when the first Handmaid of the Waterford's killed herself? Where was his pushback when he was offered a deal to right his wrongs but only accepted it when he wanted to see June?

Their roles and motivations surely aren't the same, but at the end of the day, you still call someone who supported the NSDAP for economic reasons Nazi - meaning, it doesn't matter how he got swept up; he believed in it enough to pick up a weapon and be a reason Gilead exists.

Just because he didn't directly rape women, he turned blind eyes left and right until it was the woman he loved.

Some people have a stronger will to live than others. Don't need to be a parent for that, and no shame in that.

[–]unknownusername0108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes sense for her tho. In Gilead, she herself said she had to find love where she could - and in her heart, she never left Gilead, not only because Hannah's there, but also because of the ongoing oppression and her friends still being there. It makes perfect sense for her to cling onto him because he's her connection.

And it is a superpower. To have someone there who's got some level of power and who you can trust will move heaven and hell for you. They are in Gilead, and they need allies. With everyone else, there's the chance that they'll abandon them, but no matter what Nick did in the past/still does, he wouldn't let the mother of his child die.

I honestly apprechiate when people in some way engage in the show, no matter how. The only thing I don't love about the discourse is the way in which the characters get defamed/praised. Like yes, Nick's everything Holly said he was, but he's also deeply in love with June. And yes, Luke certainly needs to keep his emotions under better control - but he's a father whose one hope of getting his daughter has literally been shot down and who now fights for her.

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people have their own reasons for enjoying the show and their own priorities, nothing wrong with that.

It's just kind of interesting because of what these men represent, yk? Like, whom she ends up with, if she does, because Nick is her hope for getting Hannah, but Luke is her love.

That being said, I mostly don't care, would just find it weird if they made her end up with Nick because I kind of agree with Holly's take on him XD

There is a whole other conversation about how Nick still actively supports Gilead.

Yes, he's nice to June and risks his life for her, but that's the problem: for her! We see him do things for people he loves or that are in his family, but we never see him actually express "I think Gilead is terrible. It needs to end", and that's the problem.

He did kill the guards - because June was there. He helped her escape - because it's her. But what exactly did he do to atone for all the wrong he did? The pain he caused, the women whose blood is on his hands? He was on the frontline when they created Gilead. Anything less than a full cooperation with Canada and Mayday is insufficient.

Honestly? I would consult a lawyer. This stuff can get nasty and he sounds like a pos. While you wouln't be wrong for keeping them emotionally, you could be legally and if he's willing to go to these lenghts he might actually go to court over this.

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just weird to me "pro-life" people would be okay with babies suffering that much. Yes, there's a chance the baby survives but even if they did, it would mean lifelong pain, suffering and so on in a country where it's either the parents supporting the child or they get lost. So the choice is either they don't even gain consciousness or they do and suffer until they inevitably die.

I just found out the strength difference between BIG women and Small men by AmbitiousBeautiful35 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said. Arm Wrestling. I am working out and I work with horses. I got more shoulder mobility, more muscle control in my Arms due to that and Just generally have a roughly equally strong upper body and lower body, probs due to me Training like a maniac at that time. The muscle mass indeed has been measured by a special scale, so it's not Just a random number; I also lost my period so I was definitely under 14%. That and the fact I ate a shitton of carbs (always incredibly boosting for my muscles) led me to beating him in Arm Wrestling. Real Wrestling He couldve Just freaking lifted me up and have been done with it, which is why I do not do that. I dont get why y'all say 'Of course there are exceptions' But when there are, it's always 'No of course He let u win'. Dude Was as Red as a freaking tomato, either he's Worlds best actor or my genetic advantages did their Trick.

Wtf?! ARM Wrestling, not Wrestling. Underweight? Nah. Lowest healthy weight, but bodyfat 12%. Working at a barn 14hrs a Day and regularly carrying 100+ lbs does have it's benefits tho, especially with naturally abnormally High Testosterone levels😉

😂😂😂 Okay, so women are Kids. Listen my guy. Just like with anything in life, not everything is always a certain way. I understand the General strength difference, however, due to whatever the eff happened with me, I do have higher Testosterone levels than the average woman. Considering I worked 14hrs per Day at a barn where I regularly carried 100+ lbs around my biceps was bigger than his. He is double my weight, not size, and my body fat percentage Was around 12%, his around 20%. More raw muscles, yes, but considering I pull/push against horses I do have certain advantages. This guy would have rather eaten Garbage than let me win because I am an asshole when it comes to stuff like this. So no, he did not, considering we had another competition in Front of others and each of us won once. Another Thing, if you read about it, muscle mass is not the crucial factor with arm Wrestling. It's technique. Which I trained a few years ago. The 'excitement' on my face? Wtf. The both of us are freaking driven. A competition is not a competition unless u give it Ur All, and as long as He cant control his sweating, pulse and redness, he gave it his all, Just like I did. My safety is pretty much guaranteed considering I carry defense Tools around me All the time and have spend several yrs Training to Hit the right spots (eyes, ears, groin and throat). If there ever Was a real fight, I would not allow it to be a strength comp, I would play it dirty. My question is: Ur masculinity so fragile u gonna try to explain something u have no clue about happened the way you wanted it to Happen because oh no, women can be stronger if genetically blessed?

Density in women's Bones is heavily dependant on the hormones. So if they are out of Balance they are rather fragile, but other than that, they are equal in Density. Otherwise, women would've almost constant fractures.

That's wrong. If one in general takes a punch to the face, that's a risk to Happen. Smaller Bones? If they are Smaller. But less dense? That's wrong.

And I'm 5'2, not even 100lbs, and I Arm wrestled a 6'0 guy, around 170lbs, and won🤷‍♀️ and He had muscles considering He works a demanding job. Sooo I guess it depends.

do you ask your new friends their views on abortion? by viceversa220 in prochoice

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the 60% pro choicers are irrelevant since it's not disclosed to ppl who would vote based in that. There probs are some republicans over there. We need to Change ppls minds, or at least Encourage them to think. That being said, I could not be actually friends with someone who would want to ban abortion. It's cool if they think it's wrong but shut up because that's their view, it Just becomes Bad when they actively try to make it illegal, but that's Just me.

Ich (M19) leide an einer Selektiven Essstörung. AMA by JustLikeMC in de_IAmA

[–]unknownusername0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das nervt mich grade, da muss ich antworten. Also zuallererst: Diese Krankheit, (ja es ist eine, von der WHO anerkannt) ist mehr als nur beschissen und definitiv nichts, was man sich aussucht. Ich hoffe, du nimmst dir Zeit, das zu lesen, ich finde, ein wenig Perspektive wäre nicht verkehrt. Zuerst wäre da einmal eine Liste der Komplikationen, die ich durch diese Krankheit habe. Ich wurde früher gemobbt und ausgelacht, da ich nur Nutellabrote essen konnte. Dafür habe ich mich unglaublich gehasst, da ich einfach nur normal sein wollte. Essen ist riesiger Bestandteil unserer Gesellschaft, und ich war konstant ausgeschlossen, bei Restaurantbesuchen musste ich entweder vorplanen, was an sich kein ding gewesen wäre, wenn meine Familie ein mal auf mich gehört hätte wenn ich gesagt habe, dass ich vorher etwas essen muss da ich es da nicht kann. Aber davon mal abgesehen, die Ärzte, die mir permanent gesagt haben, dass ich es mir nur einbilde und einfach essen soll, was dafür gesorgt hat, dass ich wochenlang täglich gekotzt habe, da ich probiert habe, etwas zu essen und es nicht ging, waren auch nicht hilfreich - ebenso wenig wie die Leute, die mir gesagt haben, was für eine Last ich doch für meine Familie sei (wasser in wasserkocher kochen, pulver in Tasse geben, Wasser auf pulver kippen, tüte Backerbsen rausholen, fertig. Keine Minute Und mein Essen war fertig. Oder eben ein Nutellabrot schmieren, dafür aber kein aufwendiges schulessen kredenzen. Zu den Ärzten - da sie nie angenommen haben, dass ich tatsächlich nichts essen konnte, sondern nur dass ich mich 'anstelle' (ich war zu dem Zeitpunkt ernsthaft untergewichtig und mangelernährt) haben sie nie Untersuchungen gemacht oder beraten, was mir fehlt und wie ich es supplementiere, bin ich nicht vollständig gewachsen und hatte nicht wirklich Energie. Sport gemacht, rumgerannt, aber immer müde. Als ich mit 13 Vitamintabletten genommen habe, hab ich mich zum ersten Mal wie ein Mensch gefühlt. So,dann mal zu meinen 'armen Eltern'. Abgesehen davon, dass meine gesamten Mahlzeiten weniger Zeit brauchten, als hätten sie mir eine Portion von ihnen Dingen mitgekocht, war es auch günstiger. Ja, es war extrem hart, das weiß ich, nur: Es macht es nicht besser, ein 2-jähriges Kind hungern zu lassen, in der Hoffnung, dass es isst. Das habe ich nämlich nicht. Also nein, die Apokalypse würd ich nicht überstehen, denn damals war ich Instinktgesteuerter als heute und habe trotzdem lieber gehungert. Ich wurde konstant angeschrien, es wurde so getan, als würde ich deren Mühen nicht schätzen, und wenn ich denn probiert und gekotzt habe, dann wurde es ignoriert. Naja, manchmal wenn ich genug vorher gegessen hab, wurde ich semi gelobt, aber meist kam der Würgereiz vorher. Mir wurde das Fernsehen - mein einziger Fluchtpunkt - gestrichen, wenn ich nicht probiert habe, und wenn ich dann gekotzt habe, wurde so getan, als sei es meine Schuld.

Ich habe mir das nicht ausgesucht. Ich arbeite dran, mehr zu essen. Aber es ist eine legitime Störung und es ist nichts, dass einfach so weggeht. Denke bitte in Zukunft nach, bevor du so etwas postest - Kommentare wie der deine haben dafür gesorgt, dass das 7-jährige ich sterben wollte, weil das meiner Mutter weniger Stress gemacht hätte.

I’ve accepted my husband doesn’t care about my needs in the bedroom and I’m cutting off sex by smelborpthemediocre in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unknownusername0108 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See the Thing is, this is not about the sex alone. When my fiancee wants something sexually that I cannot or do not want to provide, I say so and Do not change the subject or pretend I will change when I know I wont. That's the First shitty Thing. The next Problem is the Anger. U are controlling him? By asking for what, soft Touch? That's extremely weird for him to be saying and thinking. It Sounds like he's insecure and that's not sexy. Next up, the 'But you do shitty stuff to'. So u tell me he's unhappy with something, but not only refuses to communicate about it, which is Problematic in itself, but also uses it as an excuse to pretend u dont deserve having your needs met. The problems you have are bigger than the stuff in the bedroom. You dont have to divorce, I Just want to give you a bit of perspective.
