POV [part 1]

for those of you here to read, good for you. 

for those of you looking up porn, haha i made you lose your turn on. AND WOULD IT KILL YOU TO READ A DAMN BOOK?!

this one is about personality types and people talking.

first the difference between literalists, judgementalists, and criticists

     literalists: their actions, questions, and statements [as well as anything else] are done in a LITERAL MANNER. 

this means that when they ask, "why did you paint your car pink?" 

they are asking, "why did you paint your car pink?" 

     literalists are simple and to the point, preferring straight forward actions and simple solutions over complex nonsensical plans. literalists would rather just rip out the loose tooth or tell people the flat truth than come up with a complex lie or plan to remove the tooth. however, literalists tend to take interest in WATCHING complex plans. literalists also have a tendency to be arrogant at times, believing that the faster the plan the more efficient it is.

     judgementalists: their actions, questions, and statements are done in a literal manner as well. however they are what is known as "two-faced", holding in how they REALLY feel and posting a false facade. 

they will ask, "why did you paint your car pink?" 

when they really mean, "are you gay or sometthing?" "what, are you a cissy?" [btw do NOT look that up] "what the hell? youre an idiot! WHY PINK?!"

     judgementalists basically tend to rip things apart passing criticisms with no intent to help people improve. while they act and speak one way they think another. they tend to support people while talking behind their backs and are arrogant like literalists. unlike literalists though they dont like plans, theyd rather tear them apart.

     criticists: their actions, questions, and statements are a mix of literalists and judgementalists. they tend to be both brutally honest and also two faced, telling people how they really feel. the difference with criticists is that 

when they ask "why did you paint your car pink?"

they really mean "why pink?" "why did you paint your car pink?! why not black with silver stripes?"

     criticists act with the best interests of others, but not always with the knowledge necessary to act. they will act and speak, seeming insensitive, but in reality believing that they know better for others. criticists tend to BELIEVE they are compassionate and that their actions are definable because they are in the best interest of others. they can be dangerous in positions of power as they will make decisions that they BELIEVE are in the best interest for the group, but in REALITY are EXTREMELY harmful and hurtful to the vast majority.

official lyft customer service and base review

normally i do not do these things, but i figured i would start posting serious reviews about things. this is about my experience using lyft and lyft customer service. [it in no way reflects facts, only opinons].
     lyft, for anyone who doesnt have a phone, or uses a car, or the bus, or motorcycle, or flying dragon, or roller blades, or dogsled, or- OKAY WE GET IT ANYTHING CLASSIFIED AS A "VEHICHLE". okay, sorry, i flew to mars and got drunk at the galactic bar there. but lyft is a "ride share service", which in lamen terms is a means through which people can ask for rides to places. it is basically a cab service, only faster, and much easier, and they deliver food...sometimes.
     like lyft there is also another service called "uber", it is better known [but also better known for drivers/passengers playing "grabass"]. i prefer lyft, but not for...uhh, "molesty" reasons. for anyone new to cell phones [ie. not from earth], lyft has an app [where after entering a credit/debit/paypal card and creating an account], that allow you to choose a ride.
     first you pick your location for pickup, whats important here is to be SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE. do not just click the location button [btw you need location enabled], as this can sometimes result in setting destinations in the middle of the atlantic ocean [i SHIT YOU NOT this REALLY HAPPENED TO ME]. whats convenient is lyft has a VERY detailed location provider that allows you to type vague location names [like "central square walmart"]. you can find your location better this way, and be sure you dont get charged noshow fees [more on that later]. second you need to be at your destination waiting. basically the cost of your trip depends on the distance traveled, and the app picks any near driver who accepts your ride request.

     now you have to be sure you do not miss your driver. that said you should know a few things in case you DO miss your driver.
1. drivers only wait about 5-10 minutes once they arrive
2. remember the location tips above, as the larger the location the more likely drivers are to miss you
3. lyft records all drivers who accept ride requests, all ride requests, all payments made, oh [and i LOVE this part] and they record ALL TEXTS, CALLS, AND NOTIFICATIONS SENT AND RECIEVED.
bringing us to #4. do not try to bs customer service. if you have to have them call you [which btw i reccomend if you need resolution fast], and yes i said have THEM call YOU. as you can find their customer service by googling "lyft customer service". you can have them call you and quickly settle things, but DO NOT TRY TO BULLSH*T THEM [as they record LITERALLY EVERYTHING].
4. customer service department phone number:
+1 8558659553
customer service website:
https://help.lyft.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=724707
5. if you miss your ride you WILL get charged a fee.
6. their customer service is user friendly and VERY efficient. it is best to use the website firstand and enter your account/contact info. i had them call me and they refunded my noshow fee using the texts and call records. [BE SURE YOU SPECIFY IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A DRIVER COMING AS THEY WILL CANCEL THAT DRIVER IF YOU TRY TO FILE A DISPUTE].

     now back to the details:
   i have never really had a bad experience with lyft [besides odd smelling or dirty cars], but if you are the kind of person who likes to leave reviews...lyft allows this. after each ride you have to confirm payment to pay for your ride and get a chance to rate your ride and driver [1-5 stars and what could be improved]. since i only use lyft with the expectation to find a car to drive me to a destination, i give average ratings. [but when i get drivers who do things like play creative music, or something crazy happens, i give higher ratings.] though i did have a bad experience today, as my driver showed up, drove circles, then drove RIGHT PAST ME before leaving. but customer service helped me deal with this quickly.
   i have to say that i would reccomend lyft to anyone who needs a ride. primarily for after grocery shopping, when needing to travel fast, or when needing rides home from bars. and i HAVE TO INSIST YOU USE RIDE SHARE OR A CAB IF YOU PLAN ON GETTING DRUNK. i find out you drove drunk or while getting road !@#&, i will come find you and shove something where the sun dont shine and trees refuse to grow.

DOA [dead or alive] and the ideals of objectification of [men and women] in gaming. [the "distractive challenge principle"]

this is ALWAYS a touchy subject for people, video games and objectification.

fiorst of all how is "objectification" defined?

there are two definitions:

1. the action of degrading someone to the status of a mere object:

"the objectification of women as sexual possessions" ·

2. the expression of something abstract in a concrete form

some people would say, "women are not objectified in eastern culture", while in reality they are, in fact SO OBJECTIFIED that that is just how they are seen. AS OBJECTS, to "be owned" and whom do not have a say of their own in any way or form. and whom must be sheltered away and hidden. this my friends is horrible as all life is beautiful and deserves to be shared equally and freely with the world.

but for the sake of video games the mos popular one in which people IMMEDIATELY think "objectifying women", is DOA [or dead or alive, or half naked women beating each other senseless, or BRAVO].

but the reality of objectification in video games, movies, and other media, is that there is [in fact] a "code line" wherin one crosses from simple "free expression" to "blatent objectification". what is this "invisible code line"?

well, it is actually a simple principle, one i call the, "distractive challenge principle". in this principle any game, movie, or other media that portrays men, women, animals, plants, or what have you in a sexual manner has a "threshold" wherin the media in which they are portrayed becomes utterly and completely objectification.

in the "distractive challenge principle" one can portray people in a sexual manner so as long as it does not distract the viewer or gamer from the core principles of what they are watching or playing. in a game like DOA, th characters are in skimpy outfits and you must fight street fighter style. many call this "objectification", but in reality the "distractive challenge principle" states that "one can present things in an objectifying manner without being an act of objectification, so as long as this does not deteriorate from the understanding of the plot or ones ability to play a game."

what this means is that as long as a game is challenging enough to keep a player focused on the game or on the games plot at hand [or keep viewers focused on the show or movies plot], then it cannot technically be labeled as "objectification". primarily due to the definition of what objectification itself is, which cannot be done [reducing women, men, animals to "sexual objects"] as long as the one interacting with them is too distracted to do so. as such, the "distractive challenge principle" also states that, "once any game, tv show, movie, or form of media's portrayal of a character [regardless of gender] begins to have a detrimental effect on ones ability to play the game, understand the plot, or otherwise enjoy without distraction, they [the person, gender regardless] has now BECOME OBJECTIFIED."

it seems crazy and complicated. but heres a simple example: you play DOA on normal, you have fun, youre not losing fights due to how the women are dressed [despite them being super hot]. its not objectifying. then suddenly someone comes in using honoka in a string bakini mod and every so often you get distracted and hitomi [your character] loses health. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU JUST OVERSTEPPED INTO OBJECTIFICATION because the physical looks of a female character in the game has begun to have a detrimental effect on your ability to play that game.

put in the simplest of terms, the

"distractive challenge principle" defining something as "objective"

is defined as when you, as the gamer PLAYING the game suddenly become one of the people in the crowd WATCHING you play the game. as at this point it has become objective, distracting you from your purpose [ie. to play the damn game]. games need players to be able to see the games as a whole, but also play the games and enjoy them. but when characters [or charatcers races or species] suddenly distract you enough that you become a permanent member of the crowd, this is a FAILURE on the games part. games that do not immerse in some way do not do well.

now why would they not stop making games like this? [besides rule 34] well, cause sex sells and though we refuse to admit it, were a bunch a damn horny ass monkeys sharing the same zoo cage slinging mud and sh*t at each other and fighting over who owns and rules the cage. despite the fact that, WE SHARE THE DAMN !@%$ cage. go to the zoo and watch what happens when two male gorillas are introduced to each other, its freaking AMAZING. we share the cage, yet fight over it. and sex sells, its just a fact.

but next time someone calls a game or a movie "sexist" or "objectifying" bring up the "distractive challenge principle" and ask them, "did you understand the plot?" "did it negatively affect your ability to play the game?" "did it distract you from the general ideals/beliefs that it was trying to teach?" "have you ever freaking read 'song of solomon' from the damn bible?" [seriously its some pervy sh*t]. if they answer, "no" then bitch IT AINT OBJECTIFYING.

remember, dont just buy into the hype, question things. question EVERYTHING. except that. and that. and that. and that. and that. and that. and that and that and that. and that.
