Celebrating mindless striving culture reeks of Asian chauvinism and begs the question of why the most high impact individuals - from technologists to artists - do not have cookie cutter childhoods that were mainly spent being groomed for the Ivy League.

Exactly….. OP is being honest which is fantastic….. that doesn't mean these women have to stick around. Good news : he isn't wasting anyone's time because he's being honest. (291)

True. The problem then becomes these women are so used to believing the thrill of a lie, that an up front truth is not refreshing, just disappointing (-11)

Honesty is working. If you don't want to build a relationship and want to have s*x and leave make it clear. Maybe you're some sort of handsome irresistible man? That's why they want to keep you if they can, but when they find out you really mean what you say then they leave. In reality, s*x is a sacred bond and causes people to be emotionally attached. Because of this, it affects your partner and creates an attachment, even if it doesn't affect you. Continue to be honest with them. They can't blame you for anything if you told them from the start that you're looking for s*x not into making love. (27)

The serious problem is that most of the time if a man says he just wants casual s*x, most women already give up. It's better to hide your goals to seduce a woman and tell the truth after having s*x. (-29)

Being honest doesn't guarantee that she will like what you have to say. (651)

Which is why you are better off just telling her what she wants to hear. (-23)

Oh no I'm not expanding. Sexual abuse is many things - including manipulation or lying to get access to a person's body. Sexual assault involves attacking but abuse can occur without physical violence. If a guy I'm dating wants a bj but I'm not in the mood - he then responds by calling me a b-word and refusing to talk to me and giving me the cold shoulder so that in future when he wants a bj, I give him one to avoid that reaction - is that not abuse? Of course it is. S*x should be mutual.Think about it this way. If I go out with you and you pay for dates, pay for my nails to be done, pay for my phone so we can chat, pay for my hair, etc…all while I lead you on with the impression I will be your gf one day and/or put out…am I financially abusive? Of course. I'm stringing you alone so that you'll pay for my shit. Abuse is rampant and it's often things that people don't consider to be abuse. We need to move the conversation forward. It's not evil. (4)

What you defined, well explained, can indeed be abusive, but linking it to the field of sexual abuse is very dangerous, even for greater reasons such as the trivialization of the concept, because if the concept of sexual abuse expands more and more, it will be so bureaucratic to be correct that we will have to file contracts for the protection of men and women.Here in Brazil we have the concept of sexual fraud, which is when a person deceives another to achieve sexual intimacy, this has been somewhat common for a long time, but the law that turns this deception into a crime is something very new. This is bad, but expanding into a sexual context could equate this minor crime with actual violent sexual crimes. There is a huge difference between subjective violence and objective violence and equating both things can further disadvantage the real victims.This example of a woman deceiving men with seduction that could result in casual s*x or dating happens a lot. It is common for men wit... (1)

Your first two paragraphs - your argument is that sexual fraud (as it is called in your country) is not akin to sexual abuse because it is not as serious and the victims aren't real victims. You do not understand how s*x is viewed for women. If we find out a guy has been lying to use us - we feel shame, disgust, low self-esteem, we are more likely to accept poor treatment in future because of our lower self-worth - it's very violating and it absolutely is sexual abuse. I was in a relationship like I describe above in my earlier comment - it very much fricked with my head. Adding to it - let's make it murder instead of sexual abuse. The definition of murder I will use is "Person A took action to end Person B's life". The murder could be that A shot person B in the head and they died quickly without pain. Maybe A even had an (almost) understandable reason for wanting B dead. A murder could also be A kidnapping B, tying them down, slowly carving them up, and then setting them on fire. O... (2)

It is not sexual abuse for two reasons:1- This never happened, I only spoke of the hypothesis.2- Sexual abuse involves forcing and attacking, these are two things I have never done.His mentality lacked common sense. Sexual abuse is something very serious, do not try to expand this concept to other things as this is pure evil. (0)

Fatties are lazy pieces of shit with little self control who are too stupid to understand basics physics such as calories in calories out.

https://old.reddit.com/r/PlusSize/comments/1hmxfxp/comment/m3xpd6x/?context=8

I think part of the problem (besides media vilifying plus sized people since the 70's) is that people use their own limited perception of the world and draw comparisons. A person that eats McDonald's and pizza and chips weekly but is still slim, may automatically assume that everyone who eats like them will be just as slim. Therefore, whoever is heavier must exponentially eat worse/more, which most of the times is not true.

You dumb piece of shit, you can eat McDonald's and pizza and chips every week if you want and you won't be fat unless you eat as much as you do now. You are probably eating literally double what an average person does.

https://old.reddit.com/r/PlusSize/comments/1hmxfxp/comment/m3xg4uq/?context=8

My brother is constantly going on about how my diet is poor, that I probably don't get enough nutrients, etc etc etc. (Mix of because I'm plus size and vegan).

And his diet? He literally eats out for lunch everyday, so McDonald's etc. Then for dinner, 5/7 days of the week he's having oven pizzas. And he things the few vegetables on SOME of those pizzas is enough nutrients.

His diet is far worse. But because he's slim he gets away with it.

A fat vegan??? wtf. /u/ordinaryquestions are you grazing like a cow 24/7?

Yeah, that shit's the worst. I know people who eat significantly more (daily, not once in a while) and worse than me, while having around the same level of activity and... they're not fat. It's very frustrating, tbh.

No you don't. That's massive

I think that's enough fatties for today. We have learned that not only are fatties disgusting, lazy, and dumb, they also lie and want to frick non humans since they are so undesirable

For the opening fourth of Nosferatu I was hooked. Thomas's travel to Count Orlok's castle and his subsequent torture in it were captivating. Providing the religious fervor, mysticism, and psychological degradation Robert Eggers is known for with Bill Skarsgård playing a suitably decayed and nasty Orlok. From there the movie only gets worse as it dedicated significant time to Ellen who in this version has a demonic, sexual bond with the count long predating Thomas's dealings with him. Any sexual subtext to the original film and novel are turned into constant numbing over text. The first time Orlok feeds on someone in a sexual way its creepy by the 4th, 5th, 10th.... it becomes tiring and cliche. Same goes for Ellen who spends a considerable bit of the run time going through the same sleep walking motions of humping the air and crying out in ecstasy for Orlok over and over again. It gets even worse when the whole thing becomes a shit version of the Exorcist with Ellen contorting her body in crazy ways and talking in tongues. These generic horror tropes continue with Thomas's return where the film becomes a boring, drawn out series of long tracking shots which end on a cheap jump scare. What should be scary becomes monotonous as it constantly replays the same scenes and tropes over and over again. Worst of all it does practically nothing with all this repetition. It shoves the sexual elements in your face without expansion beyond whats implied in the originals, and then it also has a totally separate thread of Orlok representing modernism which could be tied to the female sexuality angle but the film never does it.

Its a shame the movie turned out this bad, because when it works it really works. Thoma's travel through eastern Europe, Count Orlok on the ship, and the rotting plague city are all slim and spooky, serving as pretty good stand alone horror films. I think a slimmer, less dialog focused film just about Thomas traveling to and from the castle would have been way better. The strict faithfulness to the original's plot structure with the insistence on following modern horror pacing and tropes leads to a movie which just is just exhausting to finish with how much it beats the same drum over and over again. At a whopping 2 hours and 10 minutes I would frankly recommend watching the original with its slimmer 90 minute run time, which is basically all the best parts of this movie without all the tedious bloat.

Final score: 5/10

Background: the MS Estonia was used by Western !glowies to smuggle advanced military technology out of the collapsing Soviet Union. It mysteriously sank in September 1994, killing 852 of the 989 passengers onboard, the largest European maritime disaster since World War II. The site of the shipwreck is classified as a graveyard and it is illegal to go near it. In 2020, some Swedish filmmakers using a submarine drone discovered a 4-meter wide hole in the hull which was likely caused by an explosion. They were then prosecuted by the Swedish government for violating the sanctity of the wreck.

This Russian disinformation site claims it was sunk by a NATO submarine

The smuggling operation had to be aborted because they feared customs were waiting for them in Sweden. The smugglers tried to open the bow to drive the trucks out, but failed. A decision was made to instead sink MS Estonia with torpedoes. Noise transmitters were put out to hinder recording of what happened, but the Swedish navy recorded everything on their underwater microphones. The submarine in question would be from a NATO-country.

Your artist gave her high poly face low poly thighs

I prefer the left, but because of the lighting, not the art.

If I was scrolling through a list of titles on Steam, that would pop out to me more.

Given, it gives off horror survival vibes, so if your game isn't that, then carry on haha.

The human-made art here is clearly just a bunch of copy/paste, or a screenshot of a game with a filter on it. Look at the columns on the walls. They're all completely identical. Same exact texture on all of them. That doesn't happen when a human actually draws 10 columns. But it does happen when a mediocre artist draws one column and copy/pastes it. Or when they use an asset pack to create a 3D scene and then apply some kind of art filter to it.

So, maybe we can postpone the deep dive into AI vs Human, and just acknowledge that the human artist here did an extremely cheap/sloppy job? Is that what we're supposed to be "supporting" and "protecting" by not using AI art?

The left is AI or the Right? The left looks better to me. Plus some platforms don't like promos where the gun is pointing out. As lame as that sounds. Apple, for example. Ideally, they don't want the gun at all but otherwise pointed away.

Left is ai, it's a PC game and so I wanted it to be similar to other of the genre

I mean... as someone who draws for fun I will say artist did a really fricking bad job with imagine on the right, like super lazy work: left wall is copy-paste city, ceiling is AI generated xd, character looks flat and not even properly cutted from somewhere xd and goddarn this unrealistic shine of light coming straight out of her butt just to achieve any sort of contrast... And AI did much better job at composition because it copied the most and easy common one, your artist had not idea what composition is.

I hope you didn't pay much
