  1. FF VII remake treatment

    It is definitely a game I plan on playing at some point. I own a copy of it. At the moment I am back in Skyrim again though. 😂😂

  2. FF VII remake treatment

    So you are just being pedantic and pointing out I messed up with one word in the initial post? I have edited the wording to correct it for you.

  3. FF VII remake treatment

    I am not entirely sure what you are implying. It seems like you might have misunderstood the thread?

  4. Last Game/Match Watched?

    I watched my first ever NFL game Broncos vs the Colts. I think I chose the wrong game to be my first ever American Football game.

  5. You in a structured debate?

    Nope, I have never taken part in them myself. I used to quite like listening to structured debates about well debates within the social sciences and politics. It was quite interesting. A few podcasts cover some really engaging ideas. No idea how I would go myself. It would depend what kind of...

  6. Cuba passes sweeping reforms with new family code

    I would say that the legislation which they just passed regarding their new family code would go a long way towards that goal. It is one of, if not the, most progressive pieces of legislation ever passed regarding the family and domestic politics. Also the procedure behind how they came up with...

  7. Has the internet impacted our lives?

    I think it still does have the perception, although not to the same degree that it used to have even just within our lifetimes. The internet and social media have definitely taken over that aspect now. There can definitely be the curiosity factor when it comes to people whose views we disagree...

  8. Has the internet impacted our lives?

    Also ironically, I remember hearing about one of the complaints about books way back in the day is that they were encouraging anti social behaviour and preventing people from engaging and talking with each other hahaha. Although still love my books. Even the ones I hate. Haha as some of my books...

  9. Has the internet impacted our lives?

    I imagine it would depend on the person, I can only speak for myself but I talk to people a lot more since becoming active on the internet. Granted most of this is online, so possibly not the connection that you have in mind. But you know what I was doing most of my time when I was younger...

  10. First game u remember playing?

    Are you excited for Sonic Frontiers?

  11. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Although even when it comes to things like human biology, our culture still influences the way we perceive and understand it. Deborah Lupton references Gallagher and Laquer Lupton herself later goes on to state Which is why I usually speak of things like the dual processes of embodiment...

  12. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Even the cultures which do only have two genders show a lot of variance and diversity in how they perceive and experience them. Not surprising since gender has referents with so many other points within a society, People have shown quite a variety in how they organize the sociocultural and this...

  13. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    That is totally understandable. I am in a similar situation where a lot of the material I have come across and read on the cross cultural and historical variance of gender, I read it quite a while ago. The Lancaster book for instance I read back in 2009. A lot of the others were in 2011/12. So...

  14. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Gender really does touch on so many of the important debates and discussions within anthropology concerning the relationship between the sociocultural and the biological. It is such a complicated and nuanced relationship. For instance it was an online friend who highlighted to me a few years ago...

  15. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Thank you! Yes, definitely! It is an incredibly complex subject. Since I am so hooked on anthropology, I have predominantly understood it from their perspectives. A lot of invaluable cross cultural and historical work has been done on it. I particularly like the work of anthropologists like...

  16. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    I hope so too, since I think it is important to be familiar with the literature and data on topics you have a personal interest in. While it wasn't directed at me, I was inspired by the discussions here to further my learning on the subject of gender. That will be the final class towards the...

  17. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You are still not making the case for why the sociocultural and the biological are the same thing. Gender and sex are related but they are not the same. Gender refers to the sociocultural and sex refers to the biological. Keeping the sociocultural and biological as two separate concepts helps...

  18. Last Game/Match Watched?

    NRL Grand Final the Eels went down to the Panthers 28 - 12. Panthers were too good and simply outplayed them. Eels didn't even play bad, had a few chances to score but that defense from the Panthers was next level. As much as I wanted the Eels to win, the better team definitely took out the...

  19. What are you currently watching?

    NRL Grand Final!! Eels vs the Panthers!! Go go go the Eels!!

  20. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    Fair point, you are correct to call me out on that. It wasn't intentional on my part, but I was doing it. The problems with this are that it is drastically at odds with the socialist agenda and secondly we live in a capitalist world. So whatever the socialist agenda is, won't have any direct...
