Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • The only reason to point out her weight is to trigger some unnecessary reaction of disgust from people. It’s not a matter of factual or not, it’s not relevant at all to the story about “abducting and torturing” a person. Why does it matter at all that she’s obese? They didn’t put “short dark haired, white, brown eyed…” They chose obese for a reason and to me it’s kinda gross to be enforcing the whole “weight shame” thing. Like yeah this person is supremely fucked up, but you put that stuff out there like it’s normal and ok to shame someone for which has an effect when taken in with the rest of what we observe in any given day.

    What dailymail has to do with it is they’re a shit rag tabloid outlet that runs the kind of nonsense stories you used to see about people finding Bigfoot and whatnot so it makes sense they’d be framing something like this. It’s a form of click bait to be honest, it doesn’t have to be a lie to be click bait it just has to attract your click. The obese part isn’t necessary but it might get someone to click.


  • Even if the bottom wasn’t a celebration it’s the same outcome. I’ve been saying forever already that screaming and crying at a building, holding a sign, and then going home accomplishes absolutely nothing. It may be a way to show people that they’re not alone in their disgust, but it can’t be the only thing we do over and over and over and over…

    We need to be starting fires, being a nuisance, and actually causing trouble for anyone to actually be moved to change.




  • I think this is just a supermarket thing. It’s a generic label for the purpose of their inventory system for things they make themselves as opposed to something they sell that was purchased from a primary vendor.

    My supermarket has a deli I can order sandwiches from and they’ll have “lunch” or something to that effect on the label that has the barcode on it.

    We do have very “strict” food labeling laws as far as what you can call a thing based on what’s in it, so much so that I basically call it “food language.” For example a product that is made with synthetic chocolate is not allowed to be called simply “chocolate,” it can be called chocolaty or I think chocolate flavored, but not “chocolate.”







  • I get that and for 99% of monster hunter it’s fine, but a parry should be like a guard/perfect guard for weapons that can’t block. Those are quick responses when you’re in a situation you know you’re going to get hit in. With wilds the majority of the parrys are like 1-2 seconds of winding up when you only have a half of a second to react.

    Something like longsword was built for this, so the gameplay is about waiting for attacks, but every other weapon isn’t. The time spend waiting to parry is better spent moving yourself into a better position for something else.






  • I’ve been playing my for like 20 years, I’m fine with the anticipation part in general it’s just stupid for parrying. The time spent waiting for an attack you know is coming is better spent setting yourself up elsewhere as opposed to risking winding up a slow parry. Obviously weapons like longsword were built with that in mind so that’s different as it’s part of the intended play style.

    Perfect block is fine since it’s quick enough that it works as it should, but there are a number of weapons that have extremely slow parrys.
