In Lesotho (and I assume other developing countries that teach the English standard) they use those phrases because the 24-hour day and 60-minute hours are a foreign concept to many kids and their families.
I’m away from my PC/consoles for the next year but I’ve been all over Polytopia on mobile. Easy to learn hard to master. Very complex little game that I can play through a few times a day with lots of replayability.
No, it’s not “exactly what you proposed.” Your proposal would see a system where women would never reach the top tier of any physical sport, perhaps with few exceptions. There would always be a tier out of reach, and believe it or not it means a lot to know that winning is achieveable. This idea is so detrimental to a woman who wants to seriously compete in anything.
In fact, comparing a talented, hard-working woman to a man without the same level of talent or effort is such an insult. “They both have a disadvantage, one was born short and lazy, and the other was born a woman.” It’s not the same.
Also people who aren’t talented and who don’t put in extraordinary effort have lots of spaces to compete with each other. Co-ed leagues exist and they’re lots of fun. Amateur leagues exist too, at different levels of competitiveness, for those who are competitive but like you said can’t hack it at a professional level. But just because those spaces exist doesn’t mean that should be enough for women who are inspired to be the best.
I give up, go play a sport.
Maybe to you. If this is the kind of content that you like and gets upvotes in this community then y’all have fun with it; it’s not harming anyone. I just commented after seeing it on All because I only just noticed the trend of memes being used differently than they used to be.
Nah this is a devolution.
The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she’s clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn’t align with her picture.
Then we’ve replaced the cat with Skeltor… for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don’t we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?
It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.
If your world has other adventurers, I think it’s ok to say some fledgling adventurers finished the job or something. It might even be a cool role-playing scenario where a clearly inferior party declares themselves superior because they did what the PCs “couldn’t” (read: didn’t) do.
If you think it would be fun to have their past actions catch up with them, do it. I think the important thing is to keep the story “moving forward” rather than pulling the characters backwards to old events. So you should imagine taking those old unused encounters, spicing them up as a consequence of the characters failing to deal with them before (ie the old hobgoblins from level 4 have made a pact with a devil in exchange for a power boost to take vengeance on the PCs who failed to wipe out the whole group), and then placing those encounters in front of the players and making them relevant to the current plot rather then making the players pause what they’re interested in to deal with something they already mostly dealt with.
What’s with all these weird misused memes
The argument with chess is not “trans women have an advantage at chess” the argument is still pure transphobia of “trans women are not women.”
To be clear I don’t agree with that, I just wanna get us back on track because it’s different from the discussion around other sports.
