Link to sub for the sub for the star wards hotel - reddit.com/r/GalacticStarcruiser

You don't need to watch the video - just know that she fricking hated the hotel and found it was not worth 6000 dollars, according to summaries I read.

The funniest part is the Disney adults in the sub who are coping hard. I don't need to link to anything because it's literally all over the front page. This is amplified by the base level of cope for the hotel closing.

It cost 6000 dollars for two nights in a shitty hotel with no windows and cruise ship size rooms btw

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is mostly a satire of the more left-wing Enlightenment thinkers and Whig Party politics. I'm more left-wing, and that was about the only piece of right-wing satire I've seen that I thought was actually done well. (46)

I am going off of very foggy recollections of my sophomore lit classes but would it be safe to place another of his works, “A Modest Proposal”, as more in line with modern day leftist thought? He's skewering the idea of helping the poor and hungry with state resources and (/s, obviously) advocates for feeding the poor and solving overpopulation with cooked babies. (0)

Mishima is 100% hardcore right-wing. Even tried to stage a coup to restore the monarch and killed himself because it failed. (60)

To be fair, I think the word "staged" doesn't get nearly enough credit here. Mishima dedicated pretty much his entire adult life to the cultivation of his self as an aesthetic object, and it's hard not to see that including the manner of his death.It would be insufficient to call it "performance art", because that might imply that he wasn't somehow sincere in his stated politics or whatever, and I don't think that's true. But I don't think the point of the "coup" was ever to achieve a successful material change in government or anything like that; if anything, Mishima wanted to change people's consciousnesses through the wanton spectacle of his death.And maybe unintentionally, the way he died was beautifully ironic given the way we've valorised that spectacle vis a vis the image of his external politics and his philosophy of the aesthetic cultivation of the body: he failed to disembowel himself properly, his kaishakunin failed to behead him cleanly, and he died in agony. In the mome... (8)

Crime and Punishment is weird because it keeps telling you over and over how stupid the communist character is but never once is he shown to be anything but very intelligent. (102)

I don't agree with Dostoyevsky's reason for that characterization, but from what I remember that character (I don't exactly remember if he was a communist or just a liberal/Russian nihilist) is comically myopic and stubborn in his worldview. For example, there is a period when a certain character dies and he goes on to lecture grieving family members about how there shouldn't be a burial rite (or something to that effect) because those are grounded in religious traditions which his brand of politics/philosophy rejects entirely. (Similar moments include him lecturing some women about not marrying IIRC.) I mean fine if you hold those views, but Dostoyevsky's "ridicule" of him works because he's (the character) so dogmatic, ridiculously over-the-top and downright inhumane about his feminism and atheism. Of course, for those of us who differ vastly in our worldview and beliefs from Dostoyevsky, none of this calculated ridicule will make his conservative religious pitch any more intriguing. (32)

Sure, heinlein criticizes communism, but to extrapolate anti-Chinese racism from a critique of communism is an insane leap of logic and, I might add, mildly racist in and of itself. (0)

Here's a paper by a political science professor on East Asian xenophobia in Heinlein's works (not limited to Starship Troopers) https://journals.openedition.org/ejas/16749Heinlein comes from a different time, he came from a military family in the age of the Korean and Vietnamese war, and I know his politics over time changed some and he became more humanist in general over time, but his early works reek of racismIt's been a long time since I've read either book, but in one of the introductions to either Starship Troopers or Forever War, they had quotes from Heinlein where he was specifically critiquing Chinese communism. Sure, the way communism swept China was unique, as all revolutions are unique, but the singling out of it is more than suspect (2)

That's because you're not focusing on the actually important complaints. The devs have said over and over that they would not have a historical figure as a main character out of respect. It is not a coincidence that the character to buck this trend is the one black man on the entire archipelago. (10)

I'll agree that Yasuke being a main playable character strikes me as pandering, but he's also a very interesting historical character to base your narrative around and it allows the player to play as a stranger in a strange land, and it's ultimately not doing any harm to any groups, so why is everyone so mad about seeing a minority lead character in a AAA game. There's a lot of other games about white characters in out of place lands that no one has cried out over, so why is there so much butthurt when it's a black guy in a foreign land? I'm not saying explicitly that y'all are racist, but it's mighty suspicious that mfers are so mad (3)

Good lord. You people need to get over yourselves and get some therapy. Yasuke existed, he was a black samurai, AC wants to make a story about him. Another thing, AC is "alternate" history, with fricking time travel, a magic apple, and George Washington being a tyrannical dictator for fricks sake. Stop being so butthurt about a non-white person being a protagonist.If you don't like it, don't play it. So tired of all this stupid petty bullshit from you people. Just shut up, no one wants to hear your idiocy (2)

Get. The frick. Over it.You've got a Japanese protagonist in the game. Play her. Were you this pissed off about William in Nioh? Or any of the horseshit in resident evil? (1)

Both terrible counter examples, lolEdit: I saw your reply, and then you deleted it.William Adam's (Niohs protag) by EVERY historical account was an official samurai with 20+ years in Japan. He died and was buried in Japan. Yasuke does not have even a tenth of the documentation Adam's has about him. Also, Adam lived there for 7 times the duration Yasuke did.Resident Evil? I do not understand your point. Do you mean the Spanish Village in 4 or Africa in 5? Because with both examples, you mainly play as someone who has literally no connection to the area. No one is claiming Leon is a Spanish warrior or Chris an African one. In the case of 5, you can play as a local in Sheva.Both of these titles are goofy butt games with monsters in them, not historically adjacent epics, lol.Lots of this outrage is cry baby nonsense, but these counter examples are bad.

'Being Dalit on a dating app. Upper caste men only want to argue over reservation, EWS'

In the article the whale complains that upper caste men talk about ending reservation (40-60% govt jobs guaranteed if you're lower caste for example) and reject her.

Bruh they're rejecting her because she's OBESE not because she's a dalit. No one mentions their caste on dating apps lol. Look at her-

Probably because they saw the rest of her pictures showing her full body on insta and blocked her lol.

If she wasn't obese they would have stuck around longer at least. Even dalit moids would have rejected her.

Wonder if there will also be reservation on dating apps? Pradhan Mantri Dating Arakshan Yojana

Something tells me it wasn't her birth jati which is responsible for the lack of interest of men

The time you spent writing this article would have been spent better going for a run

It's a very common tendency to blame, when you don't have game

Here's the source image, morons whining about "inflation adjusted" despite obviously having no clue what that means

Whole thread.

They need to adjust for inflation.

Now compare to COL for each generation.

This means nothing without accounting for inflation. It doesn't matter if younger generations are making double if the prices of everything has quadrupled.  For the pedants I. Just saying double and quadruple as examples, not literally. 

This fool is onto nothing whatsoever:

And most of those gains are going to previous generations via housing

This twerp tries to double down:

Now do adjusted for inflation and add food, fuel, housing and healthcare to the CPI. Not just rent, not just net healthcare profit, not excluding fuel and electricity while offsetting it with cheap TVs.

It is adjusted {and a bit more yapping here}

I specifically called those things out because CPI doesn't cover those things. "Rent equivalent", "Excluded for volatility", and rural excluded pricing.

It includes all of those things you conspiratorial goober.

Look up how CPI is calculated and I'll accept your apology as confirmation that someone learned something. You can't take inflation rates at face value.

{More yapping, walls of text}

This flop calls blue "red"

Lots of boomers in here can't handle the truth. Living now is Hard Mode compared to their experience.

Reminder that these mooks are certain socialism will solve all their problems and they're economic geniuses. Legitimately zero argument against locking them in gimp suits and milking them for stem cells btw.

"I'm going to try it for the first time, do you have any reviews?"

"I looked at the list (a list of foreign men that members pass around) and it was the kid's dad."

"Is your peepee big?"

"Seongnam Pilot ○○○ Knowing Desi (Member Who Uses Dating App)?"

"I'm African and I'm not good at (s*x). The size was just like that."

The country's largest women-only community with 844,000 members has been embroiled in a controversy over the "women's version of the Nth room."

The 'Nth Room Incident', which broke out in February 2019, refers to a case of digital s*x crimes in which illegal pornography was created, traded, and distributed through a group chat room opened on Telegram. The victim was a woman and the perpetrator was a man. In the women's community, similar information is circulating, with only the genders of the victims and perpetrators reversed.

Community members were sharing detailed information about men they had met on dating apps that matched them with foreign men in the café, so-called "reviews."

Among them were minors. They post real photos of various foreign men and exchange information by obscenely mentioning the other person's appearance and genitals, such as "I have to do ○○", "I see ○○", and "I have seen this ○○○".

The so-called "U.S. Army Men Big Data Tank Count" list they shared in the café contained three pages of detailed information about U.S. soldiers. One member who seems to have taken the lead in making the list said, "I'm going to make it like an encyclopedia." There was also a "list of foreign men who use dating apps" shared among community members.

Attorney Kim Seung-hwan of GB Law Firm said, "Their actions may constitute a violation of the Information and Communications Network Act in that they are defamatory, and unauthorized disclosure of personal information may be punishable if it is done continuously or repeatedly under the Stalking Punishment Act."

According to the current law, a person who publicly discloses facts through an information and communication network for the purpose of slandering a person and defames another person shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than 30 million won, and a person who defames a person with false facts shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than seven years, suspension of qualification (occupational group) for not more than 10 years, or a fine of not more than 50 million won. A person who commits the crime of stalking shall be sentenced to up to three years in prison or fined not more than 30 million won.

Recently, the community took the lead in opposing the 2024 KXF The Fashion Festival, saying that it was an event that sexualized women. They called KXF a "prostitution expo" and joined a petition asking the local government to stop the event where KXF was scheduled to be held. Externally, while criticizing the sexual commodification of women, they point out that degrading men as sexual objects among themselves is not a double standard.

Community members opposed the KXF, saying, "It means not to do it in Korea at all. "Understand", "It's disgusting to look for other places", "I'm tired of it", "I'm suspicious why you can't do that", and "Dirty things". KXF, which features Japanese adult video (AV) actors, was eventually canceled after being "rejected by local governments and women's groups."

The sexual harassment approach of female community members towards foreigners also poses a risk of racism. In this community, foreign men are often referred to as objects of depersonalized sexual desire and consumption.

Koo Jeong-woo, a professor of sociology at Sungkyunkwan University, said, "There is a stereotype that men are the perpetrators and women are the victims of the so-called 'Nth room,' but this is an example that shows that women can be perpetrators at any time." He added, "Whether you are a man or a woman, you need to look at yourself to make sure that you are not participating in these sexual crimes."

I (M35) am married to (F34). I also have a friend (M36) who we'll call Mark, and he is soon-to-be-unmarried to his wife (F34).

The reason why Mark and his wife are divorcing is because (according to Mark) she has let herself go. He has said she has gained a lot of weight (I have noticed that, but like I didn't really care), she stopped going to the gym, starting smoking, cut off her hair due to not caring to take care of it anymore, etc. When I told my wife of this, she just made a face and said that it was "trashy" of him to leave his wife in what may be hard times in her life. I understand that, but like, my friend said that he had tried therapy for her, marriage counselling, and antidepressants (she was actually diagnosed depressed) but she didn't really seem to want to help herself.

Honestly, I can get behind that. But my wife's mood always shifts whenever I bring him up now, and doesn't like the fact that I'm helping him through the divorce (it's taking a toll on both of them equally imo).

Been a back and forth type thing for a while, and im coming to this sub to seek judgement on whether i am wrong or not here. AITA?

Your wife is probably worrying about what you're going to do if she "let herself go".

Then maybe she should avoid.....letting herself go..... -517

It's "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health"

Not, as you/Mark/OP seem to think, "until my peepee can't get hard around her anymore."

>until my peepee can't get hard around her anymore

NTA. Here's why. I had been with my boyfriend of almost 15 years. One year into our relationship he had a breakdown and was hospitalized and diagnosed as manic and bipolar. He did take his meds for a while then came off them on his own. He either worked two jobs and I would beg him to spend time with me or he'd play video games for 20 hours a day. We recently broke up because I was tired of being held to a double standard of what he was allowed to do vs why I can't. It is extremely hard dealing with someone who is depressed and will not learn to deal with it. I stayed with him drove hours to hospitals and drs and the one time I needed him to drive me to the ER. I was told well I guess I'll have to take you as you'll never stop bitching about it if I don't. I had pneumonia. You aren't telling your wife you'll leave her if she gains weight. You are telling her if she is unwilling to medically help herself you will not be staying. NTA. But I'm sure I'll get crucified for my response. Try and explain that to her that's it not the letting herself go it's the trying to not be responsible for her health.

Well, in that scenario, the depressed person was male, so that's clearly different. /s

Unfortunately that how things work in this forum.
