“would you rather share your emotions with a woman you know or a tree in the woods”, but that doesn’t really feel like it’s an equal question in my head.

Why not? The premise of the bear vs the man is a physical dilemma, which is usually how a male aggressor attacks a female victim. The premise of sharing your emotions with a tree vs a woman is an emotional dilemma, which is usually how a female attacks a male victim.

The tree vs woman was instantly understandable to me, because I've been manipulated and harassed by multiple women in my life, after opening up to them and being vulnerable, mostly with romantic partners. My male friends didn't do this in nearly the same frequency. That said, it's a problem of sampling bias. I've never had a romantic relationship with a man. Maybe they would physically attack me. Maybe they would emotionally attack me.

As inifinitesunrise said, it's kind of nonsensical. I think the root of the question is "would you rather be vulnerable again or not?" but with heteronormativity or sexual dimorphism. Honestly, no. I'll never be that vulnerable again. It's backfired every time in my life. Every. Time. If my experience is universal, which I hope it's not, then it's just that humans are flawed and terrible. (I'm slowly turning into the old man in the woods with only a dog breaking the solitude.)

I love Bellular's content. I wish he would stop playing the clickbait game. I miss it when he didn't do that. I know why he does, but I hate it.

Thanks.

IP? Do you mean imaginary property? If so, I agree. I think that ideas and culture should be shared. I understand the stated goal (protect individual inventors from being exploited by huge corporations) but that's not how it's played out. It's used as a tool of control by powerful companies to stifle innovation. Ask any 3d printer hobbyist if they like stratysus. (I effing hate them) there should be some mechanism to protect inventors but this isn't it.

I was on board until I saw Jared Leto.

Books. Multiple.

The Practice Effect by David Brin. It's an isekai (it's not anime, but it's an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.

Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.

Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

edit - more

Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.

Lemmy more. The default comment sorting means there's a chance that my comment will be at the top and therefore discussion can happen. On reddit, past a certain amount of comments, I don't bother. No one will see it.

I still remember when blizzard made guitar hero bard class. The community loved it and wanted it to be real.

Weird. I didn't see it myself and the "cross posted to" didn't have it listed.

Perfect.

Tell my grandfather to get his heart checked out. He died too young. I'd love to see just how much sense he'd beat into my father, who is a complete garbage can of a person.

I like to leave the article title as is, but then add the game afterwards "clickbait description here (actual game title)"
