Right, so it has fuck-all to do with Disney’s version. They had no reason to make it so the biggest apparent differences between the queen and Snow White were age and malice, but most overtly, age.

Not meant to be profitable to viewers…

16 was a man, not so long ago. Thanks for hassling me into almost giving a shit about this cartoon movie that is probably older than you. Real improvement to both our lives, right there.

Don’t remember if his age was specified, but I gave the movie the benefit of the doubt, not him. Her dad could wipe Erik’s entire kingdom off the map if he mistreats her though, so the power dynamic is a little more unbalaced than any age issues, in her favor.

16, iirc. Comes up in one of the arguments with her father. To be fair to that movie in particular, the ending wasn’t “and then they banged”, but more, “at some point, they got married”

… THAT … was always my take as well. Just, wtf, Disney?

Not a rapist. Doesn’t murder for … sport … I would trust him well enough with myself or anyone I know.

Shit, I thought you said Daemon, but still, either one of them is closer to secretly-an-okay-guy(strictly consent/safety-wise) Johnny Bravo than so, so many of the assholes we have here in the real world.

Opposite of Bravado. I see myself as disposable vs most people until shown different, and most people I know who say such things as I have here and mean them seem to feel the same way about themselves. A mistake I don’t live to learn from(or learn of) is less terrifying than a failure to do right by others.

I’m not saying I definitely won’t just hide, cry, piss and shit myself, but I didn’t do any of that(until hours later) the last few times I had guns pointed at me, and no, I don’t mean by friends or due to personal shenanigans(unless you count signing on certain government forms). It has been over 15 years since the last time though.

Seems OP would settle for “as ethically as possible from among the available options”, and is looking for pointers towards that direction.

Honestly, displays are everywhere if you carry the right adapters or your device has the ports. Mice and Keyboards are a whole other beast for portability and convenience. Think I would rather skip from a laptop to a tablet, versus a mini-pc.

Came here to dunk on the idea of any positive correlation between kindness and trustworthiness, found a bunch of “holistic” non-sense mixed with good intentions. That said …

I prefer blunt people and trustworthy results. End-of-the-day, I don’t care about intentions and goodwild outside of direct, inter-personal interactions. Considering intentions first over results as a cultural value is a concept I don’t often even encounter, but good on you.

I can live with quite a few otherwise substandard things in my life where I know they came from a place of love, but that brakes down versus strangers rather quickly, and corporations? I would sooner slash their tires for shits-n-giggles, or send my first-born off to be raised by sketchy fae creatures, than ever trust their intentions. In my country, they(corporations) are, by law and definition, the worst sorts of “people”. They ARE the real inhuman other our grandparents warned us about, made manifest.

All that said, good on you for being so eager to trust and abide. I hope it works out for you.

Bless your heart. I know it was just from my facial muscles contorting in odd ways.

Sorry, why /s? Cops aren’t even particularly good(or safe) shots. I would be more worried about them hitting another bystander in their attempts to shoot me.

I’m not saying I would enjoy being shot, but statistically, about two-thirds of gun-shot victims survive(source: the Brady campaign), and, mass of jello that I am, I am in pretty good health since my time wiring barges up over the last year.

That said, this is assuming I happen to be armed and choose to put myself in harm’s way, which is another consideration where I would prefer to be harmed vs others. Odds are good it would be because I chose to do something objectively stupid, versus others whose only choices are to run, hide, or confront their attckers un-armed and otherwise un-prepared.

No argument from me. There are places that make me uncomfortable, but all the idiotic open carry shenanigans here and there are just the icing on the shit cake.

Jesus, how the fuck is your comment evenly split on up/down-votes? Shitty parenting is shitty parenting.

Homicidal ideation does not always equate to wanting to live with having killed someone, and a lot of these people are closer to normal than they realize until they are facing potential consequences for their actions. I would posit that killing oneself after doing something so heinous is one of the saner outcomes.

A lot of people experience “fucked around, found out” immediately or shortly after they cross a line, before anyone else has a chance to tell them they fucked up.

Very few people actually carry weapons in public in most of the US, concealed or openly. It’s nothing like “most people”, or even “most gun-owners”. I have a lifetime concealed-carry permit, but my guns stay in the safe, save for specific events.

Think I would rather be shot(chance being shot really) by a cop than let a demonstrated murderer continue picking targets based on whatever bullshit criteria they have in mind.

I can maybe take a bullet or three(~200lbs of … dubious composition). Children, the elderly or other likely targets? Not so much.

EDIT: Imagine prefering random people get shot in a mass shooting(and/or by cops) vs the random “I can take it” self-proclaimed dumbass you encountered on the internet. Congrats, seven random morons, you’ve drank the just-as-toxic-but-sopposedly-opposite-of-toxic-masculinity kool-aide.

I smelled burnt toast and laughed, then decided to like this comment for reasons that still elude me… There is a stabbing pain in my cranium and I’m tearing up without knowing why.

Shove my corpse on a random desert hillside and study its decomposition … hyper-specific because there’s actually a study like so, but yeah, anything that isn’t claimed by patients/doctors who need it, I want set out for sky “burial”.

Now I think about it, I think I read that study wants entire corpses. Now I’m sad.
