"I'd appreciate it if the food was better. You have a kitchen knife, you could try using it"
Bro you are locked in a room with a collar around your neck chained to a wall right meow.
All you know about the person you're talking to is her apparent age/gender, that she is comfortable with imprisoning a human, and that she's holding a knife every time you see her 🤦
Of all the contexts to say "Get in the kitchen" I thought two seconds after hearing a feminine voice on chat in an online game was the most ridiculous. New record 😅
I've met The Butcher on several occasions in Diablo 4. He is rather impolite.
I know she lost, and obviously we all love her so we don't wanna see her get hurt, but she doesn't really look hurt all that bad.
There's a bunch on the top of the head. Probably even more than this, but 5 that I know of. And they're close enough together that they can all be hit at the same time.
No harm done this time, obviously. But I'm not a spirit, and my brain's been damaged enough already. Siris is "use me" level hot, but she's not "kill me" level hot 😅
Is that your only basis for the review? An androgynous MC makes you think the author has an issue as severe as psychopathy?
Do you even know what a psychopath is??? I hope not.
That's like saying too much peace.
If there's more than two candidates, it's possible nobody will get more than half. If Saotome gets 35% of the votes and each girl gets 32.5%, that's 100% total, and he has barely the most, but it's not more than half.
What would happen then?
Of course you'll get the majority vote 🤦🤦
Nobody who's competent is gonna run against you 🤦🤦🤦
You can't lose to nobody 🤦🤦🤦🤦
It don't matter how much stupid self-sabotaging stuff you say 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Do you know who donald trump is??? 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

and then down the road his followers are judging people for being attracted to drawings?
I suppose this is the same reason y'all hated gay people? Just because it doesn't make pregnancy happen? Yeah that ain't so much of a problem anymore. Got a few billion humans. We'll manage.
And you realize that if your religion is right, your deity has no limitations on ability or awareness. He wouldn't need to make deputies out of mortals. He'd know everyone who's breaking the rules, and handle it himself.
I'm not tryna be a dick. It just sucks to see belief systems that aren't doomed to fail still fail because of misuse. Amend the damn book. Or at least read it.
Look at the other Levitican laws and see if you're following them.
You mean this?? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Coomer
That's like, really specific 🤔
You're coming to that conclusion just from what you've seen in this comment section?
Js, when you settle down you can't smack your wife's boobs every time she stands up or sits down within arm's reach.
At least I don't think so. I don't know anyone whose boobs are that tough, but my body count is low for an adult.
I've certainly heard of more surprising stuff than boob smacking, that much I know.
To be put on the spot like that while under a moral obligation to uphold a society-wide charade, but lying would feel awful because the people asking the questions trust you, so you gotta just not answer, which makes them feel disrespected 😑
Excruciating 😤
She still thinks those four kids are all androids 😆
She lives in a world where there are no real kids since nobody can reproduce, so normally when you see what looks like a kid it's really an android meant for people to buy so they can basically play house as adults, pretending to be parents.
That concept is so fucking cute that by comparison it'd make Gelato taste like black coffee, but if they were just tools for fun then wtf would be the point of 4 androids just playing with each other unless the "parents" were watching them?
That'd be like having a humidifier and a dehumidifier right next to each other on the roof of your house 🤣
Try not to get too mad at the people who say unhelpful things to you when you show your heart like you just did. They're not bad people, they just haven't been treated right.
A person who isn't being taken care of even by the people who play ongoing roles in their own life can't fairly be expected to exceed those people's effort levels for the sake of someone they're never gonna see again.
I grew up in the same cruel world as everyone else, but my home was a sanctuary. Kindness is all that has ever been expected of me. My parent didn't tell me to make them proud or be the best or carry on a legacy or anything like that. They told me to keep myself safe and become happy without hurting people.
That's a very low bar, so without any unfair expectations to live up to, I had a lot less stress in my life. I was treated the way all people should be, and just like the people who've been mistreated, I'm passing on the energy I was given. I'm not better than them, I'm only more lucky. Life isn't fair, but it could be.
To someone who knows they would be scolded even by their own parent for saying the same thing you said, it can seem absurd to see it in a context like this where we're all strangers to each other. Just remember, they're not your enemies, they're your comrades. They're suffering too. I know they don't behave like comrades, but that's only because they don't know they are.
I don't have the pressure of a career or raising kids crushing me like most people do, so guidance is my life's work. I've been shown some outstandingly touching gratitude before but nobody ever told me they printed out my comments. That felt amazing, and I'll remember it forever. Thank you 🤝❤
Saotome is smart, he's hardworking, and he's got an amazing heart. But he is falling into the same abyss that most people do. He's obsessed with productivity and competition. He can't just be happy to be doing what he loves. He won't be satisfied unless he can say that he's better at it than other people, with enough evidence that only the most stubborn delusional people will deny it.
When it comes to having a job and making money, yes, that's a competition. There's only so much money in the economy, and everyone who's in your industry is targeting the same customers as you. No amount of progressive idealistic thinking will not make that go away. The toxicity comes in when that principle infects other aspects of life, like dating. When someone is not capable of seeing anything without applying a competitive mindset, that's a problem.
Satome sees his memory of bringing people together and making them happy with his skills in that fashion show, and he sees Koharu do the same thing. The healthy way to feel about that is to focus on the effects they had on people. Happiness. Unity. He should see a comrade, not a rival.
Saotome is gonna spend his time chasing a carrot on a string, while Makoto is able to see that there are free carrots all around him. His life is gonna pass him by in the blink of an eye. He's gonna be one of the people I meet all the time on my advice accounts.
They wake up one day and realize that they've lived 30% to 50% of their life and have nothing to show for it except money and respect of the masses. No deep fulfilling relationships with anyone. No memories happy enough to be worth re-living over and over. No sense of belonging.
After decades of careful planning, intense focus, and relentless effort, they are empty. Achieving their goals didn't make them happy, because they set the wrong goals. They don't know what to do except ask a stranger to explain why they should even carry on. "What is the point of playing if winning doesn't make me win???"
The point is PLEASURE without harming other people. You weren't supposed to be trying to win. Indulge without exploiting. That is LIFE.
Makoto and Saotome both have their strengths. They're not bad people. Nobody is inadequate. Nobody is superior. Nobody failed. Nobody got rejected. They just don't belong together.
(Part 1 of 2. Character limit)
This is the most unhealthy counterproductive outlook anyone could possibly have on dating, yet somehow it's like, pretty much the ONLY outlook anyone has.
Okie-dokes...
It's not a rejection.
Nobody has ever rejected someone's request for a relationship.
They have declined an offer for a relationship.
That might sound like it's the same thing, but that choice of words makes all the difference in the world.
The word "rejection" has connotations that imply a lot of negative things. It implies elements of success/failure, adequacy/inadequacy, and superiority/inferiority. Those are the three most harmful things that could possibly be going on in your head when it comes to your confidence.
The word "decline" simply means you're choosing not to do something. The word "offer" simply means you are suggesting something potentially happening.
Dating is about compatibility, not adequacy. Someone being uninterested in dating you does not make them your superior. Them declining your offer doesn't mean you failed.
Eligibility to be a relationship partner is not an objectively quantifiable thing like a video game score. There is not some kind of linear hierarchy of attractiveness that dictates who can reasonably expect to be able to date who, based on the size of the gap between their rankings.
Saotome did not reject her request. He declined her offer. The issue was not that she was inadequate in some way. It was simply that his current interests do not align with hers. Using what knowledge he has to go on, his judgment is telling him that them being a couple would ultimately go against their interests, and he's right.
It's okay to like someone, the heart wants what it wants. But we've all got to remember that our heart is for feeling, and our head is for thinking. Our heart isn't smart.
Makoto is focused on embracing the social aspects of life. She cherishes every moment. She is unapologetically exactly who she is in all contexts. She lives as she sees fit. She doesn't conform just for the sake of conformity. She does not have a thirst to establish any form of superiority over anyone else. That may be the way of the world she was born into, but it's not HER way.
Makoto simply wants everyone to be happy. This is the right way to live. She's the healthiest character in this whole thing. Her one legitimately harmful flaw is that sometimes she listens to her heart more than her head. That's a big flaw, but it's only one.
I feel very fortunate that as a kid and as a teen I only liked shounen stuff, and that I didn't get into the slice of life genre of anime/manga until I was an adult and had already done enough dating to understand what it's really like.
Like I was so impressionable and naive back then, I'm seriously considering the possibility that if I had started reading this stuff when I was too young to date, it might have sabotaged me. If I expected it to be this easy... Idk.
Even if I was told upfront that it was unrealistic and not meant to be used as a baseline for my expectations of dating, it would still have affected my perception to some extent.
