  1. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    I got C-, exactly 50%. To be honest it is higher than I deserve. But I have passed the class now and still waiting on two more assignments. Together they are only worth 25% and I am now sitting on 54%. So they won't shift my grade much. Hopefully up to a B- though. I am happy that I passed though 😆😆

  2. Women In Sports And Gender Roles

    Agreed that we are seeing slow improvements to women in sports and more importantly with your observation that the work is far from done. I am pretty narrow in what sports I follow so I can only really speak to rugby union and league, but I think the women's rugby world cup which just wrapped up...

  3. What are you listening to now?

    Aqua- My Oh My

  4. Pennsylvania elects a dead man.

    Why were they so opposed to her? Am I missing something? I would have thought it would be a good thing to have a Green Party candidate win an election.

  5. Biden's Response To Those Opposed To 2024 Biden Run: "Watch Me!"

    It is looking like nobody within the Democrat party are going to challenge him in the primaries, so the only way he won't be their candidate is if he chooses to step aside. I am worried how he would fare given his lack of support even amongst the Democrat members. I still would much rather have...

  6. Democratic Members of "The Squad" Re-elected To Congress

    Is this reflective of the general populace or the political structures and institutions themselves? There are quite a few systematic features which either downplay people's votes or greatly compromise their access. Even when the polling suggests that a more leftwing approach is warranted the...

  7. Democratic Members of "The Squad" Re-elected To Congress

    I find it quite discouraging that they are considered to represent the far left of the Democrat party. By comparison they are obviously better than those who are more mainstream within their party, and especially those who are conservative. If they were the right wing, or even more central to...

  8. Things you dislike in gaming?

    Yeah, I get that impression too. It seemed to mostly be big in the PS2/3 era. Haha I always felt cheated when it would randomly show up in an unrelated game genre. Off the top of my head Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi had at least two boss encounters where you had to button mash to progress...

  9. Could Donald Trump Return to Twitter?

    I almost liked your post, but I do not in fact like it that he'll be back.

  10. Could Donald Trump Return to Twitter?

    I mean Twitter can already be a cesspool, it is not like they are devoid of those toxic views without him there. Nor has his influence diminished any.

  11. Could Donald Trump Return to Twitter?

    My understanding is that since acquiring Twitter he has stated that Trump would not be returning to Twitter until after the midterm elections. The reasoning behind it, if it is sincere, is actually something that I can get behind. Clarity and transparency around processes is almost always a...

  12. Do you think cheating is immoral?

    I imagine that in many instances cheating would be immoral as when you are in a relationship there is an understanding that you will be faithful to each other. In relationships people can really open up, show their vulnerable side and become quite interconnected with their partner, Cheating...

  13. Which mythical creature would make the best pet?

    Haha yeah, I was worried about choosing another and how people would react to its existence. I had been assuming that whichever one we chose would be the only one to exist though. If all of them existing regardless of which I chose, I would probably still go fairy. I wasn't sure how big it would...

  14. Which mythical creature would make the best pet?

    I would easily go with fairy, ideally they would be the most inconspicuous of the lot. I am not entirely sure how successful they are at passing as humans. Ideally enough that they would not be in danger. Also they are all quite sentient so having any as a pet is more problematic. Either way the...

  15. Are robots going to increase our quality of life?

    I don't think they will in any substantive sense. We have seen plenty of technological upgrades which should be improving our quality of life a lot more than they have. But they get repurposed to sustain existing hierarchies and essentially benefit and further enrich the already powerful. In the...

  16. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    Well not so much marked down, as I wasn't penalized with deductions. More missed grade opportunities. The presentation one surprises me, as I never proofread. Yes! Self reflection is so incredibly difficult! Which is ironic as I do enjoy theory about the importance of self reflection hahaha...

  17. MOTM November ~ Scarlet Rose

    Thank you! I got the final assignment grade back for my public engagement class. I got an A, I think I will end up getting an A- for that class. But it does depend on weighting. I will be sad though if weighting drops me down to a B+. I did get marked down in it for not talking about myself...

  18. Things you dislike in gaming?

    Button mashing! I can't believe I just remembered that now! But when a game wants you to rapidly press one or more buttons over a short period of time, I am out. A friend finds it amusing how little effort I put into it. I might make a half hearted attempt for a few seconds and then just resign...

  19. Should teenagers get after-school jobs?

    I lean much more towards no. I think it is more important for kids to be involved within community activities. It can be harder to become more integrated within the community space when you are working fulltime. So it is better to get into this when you are at a younger age. I also think that...

  20. Sleeping with a married person

    I think it really does depend on the circumstances, on the surface it looks like it would be an immoral act. Although there can be lots of mitigating factors which would make it seem a lot more acceptable. For instance if the relationship had ended but for whatever reason they hadn't officially...
