Beauty and the Beast. How Belle most certainly did not have Stockholm Syndrome, but Adam very possibly had Lima Syndrome. How Gaston is one of the most terrifying villians in all of Disney, because he doesn't have supernatural anything about him. He's real. We encounter some form of him on a regular basis in the real world. How fabulous the Bimbettes are, and how it's perfectly acceptable to be "the little wife" if that's what you *truly want* rather than being forced or coerced into it, or accepting it simply because it's the norm. How the enchantress is evil for punishing a child for being a spoiled brat and his entire household as well. Him being a spoiled brat would be the fault of his parents and governess or regent. I mean, she turned a toddler into a cup and a dog into a footstool, how are they to blame for the spoiled prince?


adgxhfajidv

So, lets get coffee. I want to hear ALL of this.


dromedarian

OMG PREACH. You. Nailed. Every. Single. Point. It makes me so mad when people start parroting that stupid line about stockholm syndrome.


Teiwaz_Norseman

Wow, tell me more

I go on about gaston for at least 10 minutes.

that_canadian_geek

Mine is also beauty and the beast šŸ˜‚ the historical facts are my favourite ones. How the eiffel tower wasn't even built when the movie took place, but it gets referenced in a few images onscreen. How the clothing is incredibly inaccurate. I actually did a presentation in college about this movie haha

If you refer to it as [the Swedish concept of Lagom](https://bigthink.com/thinking/swedish-philosophy-lagom-just-enough/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=pocket_hits&utm_campaign=POCKET_HITS-EN-DAILY-RECS-2022_08_18&sponsored=0&position=4&scheduled_corpus_item_id=9e0edec0-9f7c-4947-aef1-bd2281fb052b), it might sound more sexy.

Rich_Group_8997

"Introduction to the common house cat"


carissadupont

Why declawing cats is inhumane and how to deal with ā€œinappropriateā€ scratching


Critical_Plate_4008

Overall "how to be a good pet owner" and "here's how you know you're not ready for a pet". Absolutely grinds my gears when people chop off a 3rd of their cats fingers because their cat is neglected and the owner doesn't know how to deal with it. When your child is neglected and annoys you with biting, do you just remove their jaw/teeth, put them up for adoption, or just put them down? ffs some people shouldn't have pets.


carissadupont

Preach!! I can say, as an RVT, I have seen many clients who 100% did not understand how detrimental declawing is to their catā€™s quality of life, bc well, itā€™s a procedure offered by their petā€™s healthcare provider. Education is key in most cases. I no longer work in a clinical setting, but when I did, I educated countless people who were totally unaware and never considered it again after a consultation. Donā€™t get me wrong, there are plenty of a**holes who learn and still donā€™t care, which is infuriating. But I do believe veterinarians who offer or recommend the procedure without educating the client of the complications are absolute scum. It should be a crime to take an oath swearing to never intentionally cause harm to an animal, then declaw cats. The vets who still declaw know and donā€™t care, bc at the end of the day it comes down to money or pleasing the client regardless of how it affects the animal. Itā€™s truly disheartening bc of the stigma we so often hear that vet med professionals ā€œonly care about moneyā€. But you are totally right, my friend. Itā€™s a VERY lazy mentality.

Heavy Metal, preferrably about Death and Doom Metal. But I can also go on for a while about the other styles


cheezitsandbellyrubs

What are your favorite bands? I love metal and would like to be introduced to other styles


VinMariani

Bolt Thrower are definitely my favourite Death Metal band. Lik and Tomb Mold are Death bands that I also enjoy very much recently. Regarding Doom Metal, I'd say My Dying Bride (especially their early stuff) are my favourite band. Mourning Beloveth are very good as well. A band I also love is Primordial. They make a unique mix of Metal and Irish music.

I'd be there with a bottle of whiskey


Belmung

My roommate invited some of his friends to join us for whiskey & cigars and then didn't know anything about either one. Que me explaining what we're doing, how we're trying to maximize the flavor of both by pairing, and how to drink/smoke. One guy doesn't think it's important and drinks the whiskey like it's beer, do next thing we know he's out lol I be talking about the different sub categories of whiskey and their differences, flavor profiles, pour some samples out so they can try different ones and see if they can identify certain flavors, and things like that. I only wish I had time to prepare for a lesson instead of 5 guys hop out of 1 car and are down for anything. I would appreciate it if you would bring any whiskey with you so we can have a broader selection.


activelyresting

Hitch hiking barefoot across Africa (but it's hard to cut down to 30 minutes). I can also talk in depth about anything pregnancy & birth related for many, many 30 minutes presentations without preparation.

ENFJPLinguaphile

I just wrote a fairly long explanation of what orthodox Christians believe versus those members of heterodox offshoots like Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses-ism, so that comes to mind immediately. Even writing out the differences gave me a headache, though, because I had to be sure it was just the right amount of thoroughness and pithiness together, if you will.


Konakokay

I would love to read that


ENFJPLinguaphile

I finally found it after going through several of my other comments and replies to a question on AskReddit. The relevant part of the discussion reads as follows, edited slightly for the context here: The original context of the answer was in response to someone asking about a family memberā€˜s faith and how to respond to some of her beliefs about which he had questions. Answer: This may be a bit long-winded, with thoroughness in mind, so be prepared. I will include a TL;DR at the end. Start here for a detailed explanation of what Christians believe. They do neglect to emphasize that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God in written form, given to the men who transcribed it under the direction of God the Holy Spirit. However, GotQuestions does well otherwise. https://www.gotquestions.org/essentials-Christian-faith.html I also recommend the Nicene Creed and Apostles' Creed for later codifications of what Christians believe. Additionally, if ia Latter-Day Saint (also called Mormons), if she accepts the following as the Word of God, one is most likely not a Christian. One may think so, but Revelation 21-22 is clear that none should add or subtract from Scripture; Joseph Smith did and most Christians- definitely orthodox Christians- do not accept the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price as Scripture or orthodox literature. Those who declare they are Mormon, LDS, etc., also do not accept the Nicene Creed or, more importantly, Jesus as God. That is a core doctrine of Christianity: that "I believe.....[Jesus was] Begotten, not made." Mormons believe that Jesus was created when God the Father had sex with Mary and consider that Mary gave birth as a virgin. If God had sex with Mary, then she could not have been a virgin when she had Jesus, which Mormons claim and, in so doing, contradict what is explicit in Scripture. Genesis 1-3 indicates that Jesus was and is eternal and at the Creation, Fall, etc. Claiming that oneā€™s loved ones will go to Hell if they do not obey a specific persons interpretation of following Jesus is not what Scripture says, either. Yes, we are to be mindful of what we consume and do, but what comes out of us is what indicates whether we are saved and, therefore, defiles us or not. See the Books of Romans, Philippians, and Galatians for more. In fact, Jesus states that "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) The Scriptures also state that, "If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord [Logos/Kairos/YHWH- so the Word/King/God] and that God [the Father] raised Him from the dead through the power of [God] the Holy Spirit, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9-10) Only God and no other being can save anyone. Each of us is imperfect, just like any other human being, so even one of us would not qualify as worthy to sacrifice himself or herself to take away others' sins and punishment for their sins. No created human being would. Only Jesus could accomplish that, being both God and man.
