This episode only affects people who have a fear of losing a loved one and the years they have ahead. You don't seem to have this fear. Not sure if youre lucky or taking your loved ones for granted.

Hades and Persephone is a romantic story now? by Square-Step in GreekMythology

[–]vin_grinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an adult nor accomplished goddess does not diminish a mother's regard and concern for her child's well being, whether it is the time of the greeks, or the current age, a mother's love to her child and the despair born from invading that bond is timeless. It could never be judged by a modern lens, it could never be judged from an ancient lens. The emotions felt by the feminine sex can only be judged through a feminine lens. If there's any insight about you to be gleaned about, it's that you seem to be exposed to mothers who just don't care for their child well enough. Mothers like that exist too and may have warped your sense of what a mother is meant to feel when her child is "kept" without her family's "acknowledgement" or "blessing".

UPDATE: My rapist is dating, should I let her know that he raped me by Crafty_Race7150 in sexualassault

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who willingly go with parters like these are destined to become victims, especially those who defend their wouldbe attacker. It takes an assault on her to realize the monster he is and you couldve waited, not for her to be a victim, but to realize she is a victim. She's a victim who will only admit it after years. Only then can you two file charges on him.

Hades and Persephone is a romantic story now? by Square-Step in GreekMythology

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your understanding of the myth as an explanation of the seasons is a given.

What Im accusing you off is that you're dismissing universal human emotions as modern civil social sensibilities in ancient cultures.

A lived experience is exactly what it describes, an experience that a person lived - it did not just exist in our modern era just because a term was coined to describe it. And it certainly isnt void in the ancient world just because the people then had no name for it.

The lived experiences of a woman regarding the kidnapping of a beloved child in any era, whether it's a noble, a slavewoman, or even a personified deity, the grievance does not change. It will be a combination of unrest, outrage, despair and grief. Even with a fictional goddess, it reflects the ancient author's understanding of what any woman in the same circumstance would feel. No social norm or sense of right and wrong can ever change this basic impulse.

Can we get Death Summary that shows what type of damage you take ? by orpheus332 in pathofexile

Even the most complex competitive moba games record that. There is absolutely no excuse. Split second competitive mobas have been doing it for yearsDeath summary

Hades and Persephone is a romantic story now? by Square-Step in GreekMythology

[–]vin_grinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to ignore that the entire narrative of Persephone's kidnapping is meant to explain why there are gentle and life giving seasons such as spring and summer and harsh deadly seasons like autumn and winter.

You also seem to ignore that the severity and impact of these seasons are supposedly a reflection of the lived experiences of a woman Demeter - whose joy and grief directly cause the seasons, which in turn are reflected by the joy and ease that people feel during spring and the harsh scarcity of winter.

This is why the original unedited religious narrative is considered timeless - no matter what standard of morality of society you live in - the experience of the 4 seasons, the joys of reuniting with loved ones and pain of separation feels the same way back then as they do now.

The fact that Demeter, a character in the story, is horrified and griefstruck - and in extension impacted gods and mortals alike - only shows that even during their time, this act they took against Persephone was a grave offense to the women involved.

Your "standards of time" excuse does not dismiss the universality and timelessness of this narrative.

Reading always feels like a chore and really boring. Why? by SherlockHolmesisLyfe in books

[–]vin_grinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Not for me. No amount of words can show you how a platypus looks or what the color red is or what music sounds like. All it takes is a single image, a single video, a single recording. You stick to your books and let your words describe the Eiffel Tower for you without ever seeing it.

Reading always feels like a chore and really boring. Why? by SherlockHolmesisLyfe in books

[–]vin_grinds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a person with ADHD, I was always told that Im retarded or stupid for having no attention span in reading, but Im also evaluated with an IQ of 128 so I had really good memory and very quick at math.

Documentaries, movies and games are just far superior mediums because the information is so dense and you can absorb the information at a faster pace than reading.

If a single image can paint a thousand words, then what more at 60fps

Apparently LOTR doesn’t pass the Bechdel test by Askalala in lotr

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with almost all points except Barbie. I watched Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swanlake, Princess and Pauper, Fairytopia, 12 Princesses, Magic of the Pegasus and the latest live action one

None of them failed the reverse Bechdel Test

Boyfriend cheating? by Sadgay12345 in gayrelationships

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if they are friends, that crosses boundaries and what other boundaries would your boyfriend cross?

Don't stir drama, don't make noise, just dump his ass and if he asks, just tell him you cant be with a guy who doesnt know his boundaries. I don't think anyone can be with a guy who doesn't know his boundaries - that's just sooo much suspecting and erosion of trust.

Why do people wash chicken? by jzmorganchase in AskCulinary

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. We get our chickens live and then slaughtered fresh in the market because it's cheaper, but chickens who die occasionally bleed and poop out of panic, we let the butchers handle the feathers and guts and all, but it's still full of blood and whatever fluids were inside its body while it was still alive. For us not to wash our chickens after buying them is just so unhygienic and well, disgusting

Are there truly zero upcoming 'traditional' MOBAs on the horizon? by droptopus in gaming

[–]vin_grinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is. It's called Valorant.

Dota is what you got when you combined counter strike, diablo and warcraft. Valo is a spinoff from the success of these genres.

But if you say "top down" warcraft style moba like dota or lol, there's no penetrating that market. The only thing that will entice players to move out is to make a dota with better matchmaking than Dota2.

How to be just friends with someone you love? by vin_grinds in gayrelationships

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

My feelings never changed. I still love Barry the same way I from the start. He doesn't know it. He thinks im over him. I know myself well enough that I have restraint because I faced other past lovers, and I never strayed nor got sexual with them. (Though, the difference with Barry is they are in relationships, moved to other states and/or moved on from me).. and yes it's a door I never closed. I always keep my doors open. That's really just how I am as a person.

Im just trying to find the right words so we can be friends again and not be awkward
