    It takes time for the air conditioning to actually fully spread into the house/building. Put your head underneath a blanket and you'll be overheating in no time
    I'd take a bunch of snow over stifling heat

    If you're too hot, what do you do? There's no easy, fast way to get cold.
    But if you're too cold, just throw on a blanket or an extra layer of clothes

    I sent something like that to my English teacher last year, bit different context, but more or less the same deal
    She never really acknowledged it, but she makes a point of saying hi to me whenever we cross in the hall, so that's nice

    With regards to sucking up, just try to make it as far removed as possible from something that could be seen as fishing for a mark boost, adn you should be fine. Every person is different obviously, you can't really predict the outcome, but I'd say it's generally worthwhile

    Because it does?
    On a grand scale nothing matters, why would it matter what matters?

    That's the thing, we DIDN'T read it. We ran out of time, so he gave us a crash course on it for the exam

    Wait, Romeo wasn't poor?
    My English teacher LITERALLY lied?
    I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, his major was Physical Education, but WOW
    I kinda feel like I've been living a lie ._.

    The Froot Loops analogy is a bit hard to work with because it's not quite perfect. With the analogy, eating Froot Loops would be like having sex, but I think that's too extreme for the mere act of eating. With regards to the avdertising thing. It's not like you see sex being directly advertised. This would be more like if Froot Lopps were just casually thrown into a lot of situations. Like instead of all the women in a videogame having big boots they have the ability to eat Froot Loops, or something

    But what if throughout your life froot loops were always around you, would they really still mean anything after like 16 years?
    And the Froot Loops thing kinda flows into my analogy anyways. There was a time when just fresh bread was an exciting meal, but most people would be horribly bored by that now. There's also a level of guilt to eating sugary food like Froot Loops. Most kids, at least the ones I knew, got Froot Loops as special treat. It was a rare experience, beyond just the pure sugar that gives pleasurable stimulation. It creates a sensation of being special BEYOND just being being nice tasting cereal
    Same kind of deal like when a Soccer team goes out for pizza or mcdonalds at the end of a season

    Just want to make a clarification based on some poor wording I used around the end. When I say an increase in sexual deviation, or decreased birthrate, I don't meant to imply that they are mutually exclusive. Just that one or the other could happen.
    It's not my belief that people would stop having sex, but rather that it might become more difficult to get the actual spark going, or become a generally less frequent thing
    Sex is commonly used as a status of some sort, how you do it, who you do it with... if nobody really cared, why bother with any of that? The 'wrongness' of it lends it a certain mystique, but if it was just another thing it loses a lot of that.

    You feel hungry and ultimately die if you don't eat, nothing that extreme exists for sex.
    And while you might not stop eating, you might not be inclined to, say, eat the same meal over and over

    In general, besides certain communities, if you talk about sex, the general consensus is "it's perfectly natural, nothing special, and nothing to be ashamed of"
    But is this a mentality we want to strive for? To normalize sex?
    I obviously can't speak for every human being, but I've analyzed general trends in media regarding this subject.

    From what I can tell, on some level, most people are aroused by the inherent 'wrongness' of sex, or romance in general. A lot of stories dealing with a stagnant marriage or something will usually have the couple try a new, more out there sexual act. Off the top of my head, there's a Simpsons episode where Homer and Marge reinvigorate their sex life by doing it in public places. To get a bit broader than that, most of our most popular love stories, or jsut plain stories in general, deal with or are central to forbidden love. It doesn't matter if it's a rich person getting together with a lower class person (Romeo and Juliet) a rich person getting together with a poor person (Titanic) a rich person getting together with a poor person (Star Wars Episode V) or a girl getting together with a vampire and a werewolf (Twilight)

    Personally, I think this has something to do with wanting to perceive the act as something more special, or unique, in a world where sex is slowly becoming less vilified.

    Because that's the thing, why is little Tim-bob supposed to think there's anything special about boobs when he reaches puberty when he has already spent his life growing up around bill boards, TV and whatever else that just show it as another casual part of your day to day life?

    I dunno, anyone think this is an actual thing? I feel like achieving a world where sex is truly accepted and treated as completely natural would either lead to significantly decreased birthrates or increasingly bizarre ways of having sex in an attempt to keep some level of taboo to it

    They're enjoyable characters, charming maybe, but on paper they have roughly the same depth as an FF13 character

    Yup
    I read up on a lot of this stuff for my FF13 LP. Sazh and Vanille are almost useless because they have really long attack animations and no particularly strong stats (Sazh actually has just overall the worst stats, though his weapons give the biggest boosts)
    Snow and Lightning make decent commandos, but Snow has a limited move pool and Lightning has really low HP. Fang is durable, has the highest strength, high HP, good attack speed, plus summoning Bahamut can actually be exploited to deal with certain enemies (Like I think Cactoids is what they're called? The Cactuar with a pink flower) Hope is the ideal caster, and Lightning is just overall good but not amazing in every regard besides HP

    I think a fairly large number of people like being objectified to some degree
    There's a reason why we have stereotypes about comparing a person to an animal (like a dog, usually) in bed
    I think a lot of people would probably like the idea of their partner or whatever being that into them based purely on how good looking they are, or how good they are a banging

    Anyways, masturbation isn't really accepted at all, at best it's tolerated. It's about as acceptable as sex is, in society. So people go on about how it's natural and people shouldn't be ashamed
    but nobody wants to hear about it if they don't have to

    Eh, none of the characters are that fleshed out in Star Wars. They're pieces to mvoe things along, they're not all that complex
    Vanille has 200 less magic than Hope by the end, and Hope has the fastest casting animation

    I tihnk you meant "and the other is, well, Star Wars."
    She's actually the ideal party member to put in the lead, the best endgame party is Fang Lightning Hope
    Really? You liked Return the least? Even compared to the really linear original? I mean, I personally liked the second one the best, but Returns is more interesting than the original at least
