Excuse you, Frodo was 33 when he bore the One Ring. Why can't women over 30?

Honestly the notion that chicken nuggets are for kids is ridiculous. I mean, who doesn't love chicken nuggets? Even the snobbiest of snobs would probably admit that chicken nuggets are the best.
In Czechia, wherever there is a big celebration (like a wedding for example, or just a big get-together), there's always a big plate of mini-schnitzels in the buffet. And everybody loves them (except for vegetarians/vegans I guess, but we don't have a lot of those here), it's that universal buffet meal that is always gone first.

I love this. I love how they're vibing and walking confidently instead of shuffling like zombies like normal models do.

That said though I 100% agree that trying to destroy someone's career and prevent them from getting a job in the same field by smearing and "cancelling" is dirty and terrible. Nobody deserves to have their life ruined just for their opinions.

That's a really good point actually, there's no way to tell whether someone is being prejudiced in their recruitment choices unless they at some point clearly voice their prejudice. Let's face it, it is impossible for a human being to be 100% objective, we all have prejudices. But when someone's just straight up racist and voices that opinion and maybe even says he/she doesn't hire people with a certain skin color, then that person isn't doing their job right because they're not choosing people based on merit but arbitrary characteristics, and probably should be at least transferred to a different position. There have even been studies some years ago that showed that "western" sounding names are a bit more likely to get the job than let's say an African sounding name, which suggests there is probably some widespread or even systemic prejudice. One way to tackle that would be anonymous recruitment wherever possible. Problem is, people lie on their CVs.

Roses are red, Zeus is a d*ck 11 comments

The funniest part of the story is that the reason the Aesir ("higher" gods) made Loki turn into a mare for multiple nights in a row is because they were trying to stall the construction of a wall around Asgard because they had promised the guy building it that he can marry Freya if he builds it in some amount of time. The guy's super strong horse (Svadilfari, funny that I can remember the name of the horse but not the guy) hauled rocks for the construction and the Aesir thought the best way to slow it down was distracting the horse with mare-Loki so that he couldn't haul any rocks. Spoiler alert they succeeded in stalling the construction but on the last night, Svadilfari caught up to Loki who got pregnant and gave birth to Sleipnir who became Odin's favorite horse.
Also in Norse mythology Loki isn't Odin's son. And the whole ice giant thing is played up, Odin himself is half ice giant and Thor 75% ice giant. Thor probably has more ice giant blood than Loki.

"And then along came Zeus!"

Perfectly sums up Greek mythology imho

Agreed BUT if your worldview causes you to discriminate against your coworkers, then there is a consideration to be made. For example, let's say you're a die-hard paleocon and you believe that women should stay at home and not work, and you happen to be in charge of recruiting for a company. Your worldview could in that case influence your job and you could be discriminating against your potential coworkers. The same applies to "woke" liberals who would only be hiring women and POC. In a position such as recruiting and HR in general, it's extremely difficult not to let your personal prejudices influence your work, but also your employer relies on your "gut" to help you hire the right people.
That said yes in most professions your worldview doesn't have anything to do with your work performance and should not be grounds for any disciplinary action.

Norse mythology is amazing and there are some hilarious moments in it. I wish Vikings weren't always portrayed as violent and grim, when they were very civilized and celebrated nature and the Gods. I would love it if the Uttgarda-Loki story or Thor dressing up as Freya and getting married was shown or mentioned in mainstream content about Vikings, instead of the whole grey, grim, "barbarian" stuff.

This should be a decision of the partners but it's good to be generally aware which one is the "easier" and lower risk procedure.

Preach the hemp life 6 comments

So like a stiffer linen, or jute?
That could still easily be used for industrial uses and transport, if it's not comfortable to wear.
Or a hemp-cotton blend could be used for clothing.

Yeah most coffee shops these days call it chai latte. To my knowledge masala chai and chai latte is essentially the same thing, black tea with spices and milk. You can find a bunch of different recipes online, I personally put cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cardamom and cloves in mine. Also a bit of brown sugar for sweetness and some protein powder once it cools down a bit.
It's really nice because you can have it hot, which brings out the flavor of the spices more, or cold which is rather mild and perfect for warm summer days.

I'm the hippie weirdo who doesn't eat white bread or drink coffee lol
I make my masala chai with a lot of milk tho
And on the occasion that I do have regular bread, it definitely depends. If I'm having it with something sweet like butter and jam or honey, I'd go 3 or 4. But if I'm just rubbing a clove of garlic on it, it has to be burned and hard so that the garlic gets almost grated on the bread.

I saw him/her make "being gay is a sin" comments on other posts so I'd say he/she's probably part of a cult

I think it's that "Everyone else is a sheep but I'm the one who saw the truth" kind of thing. Now, I heavily endorse skepticism and questioning the narratives of people in power but I feel like a lot of these truthers, whether it's 9/11 truthers, global warming skeptics, anti-vaxx, or Holocaust deniers, direct their skepticism the wrong way. They're skeptical towards the scientists who tell us we're nearing an environmental catastrophe, but not towards the oil companies who say everything is fine and we should keep buying their products. They're skeptical towards historians and historical records to the point they'd rather believe an unsourced YouTube video by some neonazi lunatic. They say vaccines are bad but buy essential oils from scammers that claim that stuff cures cancer. These snake oil salesmen are usually charismatic and manipulative so I suppose it's easy for some people to fall into the trap of believing you know better than everyone, but that's exactly how they get you.

Yeah, Bull's romance was interesting. I didn't like Solas's much but how it ties into the story at the end was neat. It's just like everything with Solas, he's very unassuming and then he surprises you. But I won't spoil that lol
And hey my very first Origins playthrough was a female mage so I was always curious if they ever do anything about Cullen and his lil crush on mage Warden. I'm really glad they made him a romance option later on. And yeah, you can never go wrong with an Alistair-type character.

I mean in some places in Europe, these concentration camps are still standing. Auschwitz, Terezín, Lidice (which wasn't a concentration camp but a village destroyed by the Nazis who were passing by) all exist as memorials. People can go visit and see what the "life" there was like. There are pictures, there are accounts of survivors, do deniers actually think that all these elderly people who went through hell are part of some Illuminati conspiracy or something?

Inquisition's romances are interesting because each is so different. Some are more traditional/romantic, some are funny, some are more casual. Being a softie who melts whenever I see something cute, my favorite was the Cullen one.
