Well, as the title suggests, I thought about it... And if you think about it: most races are in one way or another influenced by Titan actions and reactions, so to say.

A short disclaimer: I'm not all too caught up with current lore related to the Haranir-Troll-Elf connection, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

But let's start with the obvious ones:

- dwarves and gnomes are the closest to Titan constructs in this. They are just one Curse of Flesh away from being robots.

- Humans are quite similar, with the extra step of Vrykul in the middle. But those 3 races are definitely Titan made.

- Gilneans and therefore Worgen are also "just" cursed humans

- and, by that, the Forsaken are kinds Titan made, too. As most of them are dead people from Lordaeron.

- goblins are said to be the result of an experiment by Mimiron who found Kaja'mite and exposed small creatures living in forests close to Ulduar to it, therefore creating "protogoblins".

Now it gets a bit tricky:

- the Night Elves are also caused by the influence of the Titans. As far as my knowledge goes: Aman'thul ripped out Y'Sharaj from Azeroth, thereby creating the Well of Eternity. Then, a group of trolls (or Haranir? As i said, not really caught up here) settle close to the Well, develop and become Night Elves

- they then become the Blood Elves

- the Pandaren were created by Titan constructs, namely the Mogu, as workers and servants. So they were created by Titan creations

- the Dracthyr are creations of Deathwing. Now the aspects became how they were due to being imbued with the powers of the Pantheon. Ergo, the Dracthyr are again a creation of a creation of the Titans.

- Orcs could also be considered descendants of "Titan creations". I'm actually not sure about what was planned for WoD and what was actually canonised. But I read that Aggramar created the Breakers to fight the Evergrowth. And they evolved to the Gronn, and then further to Ogers and also Orcs.

- The biggest stretch now are the Draenei, as the "Draenei" as a culture are made due to the influence of the Dark Titan Sargeras. But their progenitors existed before. Also Sargeras is not really "Titan" anymore. So I would call them a grey area subject.

- regarding Trolls: as far as I remember it was also stated, that the progenitor of Trolls became what they are due to the influence of the Well of Eternity. But here I am not sure since they changed that part with the Haranir a bit.

All that together leaves just the Tauren. They are rumoured to be descendants of a bovine Wild God native to Azeroth. So the only species really untouched by Titan influence in their origin.

What do you think? Are we all playing products of Titanic influence?

Hi zusammen,

Wie viele von euch vermutlich auch, hab ich die Tage die Erhöhung bekommen... Nach fast 10 Jahren hab ich jetzt mein Netflix Abo gekündigt, was irgendwie schon das Ende einer Ära ist. Aber die Qualität und Auswahl rechtfertigen in keinem Fall mehr das Geld was sie aufrufen!

Kurz hab ich überlegt, das Abo mit Werbung zu nehmen. Hab mal mit Kumpels gesprochen, und die sind regelmäßig massiv genervt, wenn alle paar Minuten 30 Sekunden Werbung dazwischen kreischt...

Ich frag mich, wieso es nicht eine Möglichkeit/Option gibt, die Werbung einzustellen. Also einmal die Option wie jetzt, 30 sec Werbung (gibt bestimmt Menschen die das vorziehen) und dann noch die Option, dass für 60 min runtime 5 min Werbeblock ca. In der Mitte untergebracht werden. Also ein Block Werbung, wie früher im Fernsehen, und dann ist eben gut damit.

Finde ich persönlich besser, weil's nicht ständig willkürlich die Handlung unterbricht und einen aus dem Flow rausreißt. Aber was denkt ihr dazu?

Vorneweg eine Anmerkung: ich spreche nicht von fotografischem / eidetischem Gedächtnis, davon bin ich meilenweit entfernt.

Ich hab nur in meinem Leben bisher die Erfahrung gemacht, dass ein gutes Gedächtnis, insbesondere für zwischenmenschliche Situationen, mehr Fluch ist als Segen.

Selten können sich die meisten Leute vorstellen, dass ich viele Szenen noch Wort für Wort im Kopf habe. Beispielsweise habe ich in meinen 30 Lebensjahren soo oft mit meinem Bruder über Sachen gestritten, wo er mir einfach nicht glauben wollte, dass ich noch genau wusste, was wir besprochen hatten. Bis der Gegenbeweis kam. Jedes Mal. Und jedes Mal aufs Neue glaubt er mir nicht. Bei anderen geht's ähnlich, weil "sowas kann sich doch kein Mensch so genau merken!" Ich hab schon Gespräche rezitiert, die aufgenommen wurden, die zu 95% identisch waren mir der Aufnahme... Wie gesagt, klappt nicht immer, und das gestehe ich auch voll ein. Aber wenn ich mich an was erinnern kann, dann richtig.

Und die größte scheiße: ich habe noch jede scheiß Situation in meinem Leben im Kopf! Die schönen Sachen auch, so ist's nicht. Aber natürliche auch jede Verletzung, jedes gebrochene Herz, jedes Mal Wut auf jemanden, der mich benutzt hat... Ich hab tatsächlich mal eine Weile versucht, das "loszuwerden". Und ich kann's echt nicht empfehlen, egal ob Alkohol oder Medikamente, alles hilft nix (zumindest nicht in dem Ausmaß, das ich getestet habe. Und darüber hinaus werde ich nicht gehen).

Also kurz und gut: wenn ich mein Gedächtnis eintauschen könnte für z. B. Richtig geile social skills, würde ich sowas von null zögern!

Hallo zusammen,

ich wollte einfach mal die Gelegenheit nutzen und fragen, ob ihr eine Möglichkeit kennt sich mit anderen Menschen innerhalb Gießens zu vernetzen, die sich fürs Schreiben von Geschichten/Büchern interessieren?

Fände es ganz cool, da mal in den Austausch zu gehen.

Vorne weg zum Klarstellen: es geht um EINE gute Freundin, nicht meine Freundin/Partnerin.

Wir sind seit etlichen Jahren befreundet und kennen uns auch recht gut. In der ganzen Zeit, und eigentlich seit sie 16 ist, war sie permanent in Beziehungen (ist jetzt 30). Seit anderthalb Jahren ist sie jetzt Single. Das erste Mal in ihren länger als ein paar wenige Monate. Und sie hat sich massiv ins Negative verändert. Und es ist zum Kotzen!!!

Ich kann verstehen, dass einem in solch einer Lage das Single Leben auf den Sack geht und belastet. Aber sie ist nicht mal "richtig single" wenn man es mal so ausdrücken will. Und insbesondere mich und eine gemeinsame gute Freundin, beide seit 3 bzw. 5 Jahren Single und ohne körperliche Nähe jeglicher Form einer anderen Person, kotzt es maßlos an, was sie von sich gibt. Und sie ist dabei auch null einsichtig!!!

Sie ist im BDSM Bereich unterwegs, und obwohl sie single ist, hat sie ein befreundetes Paar, mit dem sie eine F+/Spielbeziehung hat. Und bei den drei geht's weiter über "wir treffen uns nur dafür" hinaus! Also eigentlich sind sie eine Dreierbeziehung, aber sie will sich das nicht eingestehen! Sie jammert mir und besagter gemeinsamer Freundin dauernd die Ohren voll, wie schrecklich einsam das Single Leben sei, dass es ja niemanden gäbe der für einen da sei und bla bla bla. Und dann erzählt sie 5 min später mit leuchtenden Augen, dass sie mit dem Paar das ganze Wochenende verbracht hat, sie viel gespielt, gevögelt und gekuschelt haben und ganz nebenbei für das Haus der beiden noch Möbel aussuchen waren zu dritt usw.

Und die andere Freundin und ich sitzen da und denken uns nur "Alter, du hast quasi fast alles, was man in einer Beziehung hat, außer eine einzelne Person, die nur für dich da ist, und du willst was erzählen wie scheiße anstrengend das Single Dasein ist???"

Finde nur ich das irgendwie scheiße?? Wir haben es ein paar Mal angesprochen, bzw. Versucht. Aber sie sieht das null, weil für sie ist es normal, dass sie quasi permenant Sex hat und diese Nähe spürt...

Mal ehrlich, wer hört denn gerne "Oh man, du bist so ein toller Kerl, ich frag mich echt, wieso du noch single bist?" ???

Wirklich ernst gemeinte Frage: hat das schon mal jemand gesagt bekommen und sich danach irgendwas positives gedacht?

Also ich persönlich fühl mich danach nicht wirklich besser, weil man mir eigentlich sagt "du hast dich scheinbar alles, was man braucht, und TROTZDEM bist du single. Also ist doch was faul mit dir!" Oder ähnliches.

Deshalb verstehe ich nicht, warum man solche Aussagen von Freunden zu hören bekommt, insbesondere wenn die genau wissen, dass man seit 5 Jahren Single ist und sehr gerne eine Partnerin in seinem Leben hätte...

Kennt ihr diese Aussage und das dumme Gefühl dahinter? Und find nur ich das so zum Kotzen??

Vorweg eins: ich bin voll dafür, mental health Themen ernst zu nehmen. Ich hab selbst mit Depressionen und Burnout zu kämpfen, daher finde ich es toll, dass die Themen etwas präsenter werden und eher ernst genommen werden.

Aber bitte, bitte! Hört auf damit, eure Erkrankung bzw. Euren Zustand dafür zu nutzen, dass ihr ein Anrecht auf eine andere Behandlung habt!!!

Gerade was ADHS und Autismus angeht erlebe ich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Menschen, die von anderen (auch fremden) Menschen einfordern und erwarten, dass sie entsprechend ihrer Diagnose eine andere Behandlung bekommen sollen. Und das auch, wenn das Gegenüber überhaupt keine Ahnung von der Diagnose hat!

Die eine Hälfte ist dann beleidigt, wenn man ihnen nicht den Arsch nach trägt, die andere Hälfte wird dann richtig pampig und ist der Meinung es sei ihr Recht und die Pflicht des anderen, eine andere Behandlung zu bekommen!

Finde ich falsch! Meiner Meinung nach sollte man zwar, insbesondere im Freundeskreis, eine gewisse Rücksicht auf diese Themen nehmen. Aber jeder Mensch sollte auch versuchen sich in die Gesellschaft anderer Menschen zu integrieren, auch wenn es manchmal heißt seine kleine Komfortzone zu verlassen für ein paar Stunden. Ich bin da der Meinung, dass es meine eigene Verantwortung als Mensch ist, an meinen Themen zu arbeiten, nicht andere sich dafür verbiegen zu lassen.

Man kann nicht erwarten, dass in einer Gruppe aus X Menschen jeder es einer oder zwei Personen recht machen muss!

So... I had a pretty severe case of burnout and a really traumatic relationship accompanying it. I went to a clinic, i did therapy, and I would say I'm a pretty decently function human again.

But talking with other people about it, especially when an episode is hitting me again and I'm in a pretty dark place, is kinda impossible...

I tried with some friends I made along the way. Mixed friend group, all with their own packages to carry. When one of the women opens up, we all support her (obviously, we are friends, we support each other).

But last night we were having a birthday party of one of the friends, and my last few days were horrible... Got a pretty intense trauma trigger and tried coping with it for the rest of the day.

Friends noticed, asked me what's wrong. I told them, thinking it was a good way fo get support. But again, I was wrong...

Was told, not offensive or aggressive, just neutral or even caring, that I should get over the whole thing and stop caring about it too much. Then, topic switched and that's it for the rest of the day...

Had similar situations before. And from my perspective (which is obviously not the general opinion, i know that), the women in my social circles get way more support than the men do. Also, the other men don't typically open up about stuff in the group. Sometimes, rarely, the talk to me eye to eye, but then also just briefly.

Is it still such a big issue for a male member of the species to have mental health issues? And why is it so hard to give someone some empathy and help?

I mean, even here in this sub Reddit I observed partially, that when someone posts something and you can guess he's male, the response rate is lower than for female posts. Why is that so??

Sounds like a pretty low-key problem, I know. The point is: this person, along with three people I thought were good friends almost achieved that I unalived myself... And by almost I mean i already sat on the tracks waiting. I'm still here because of a stupidly drunk guy joining me, talking about life and everyday stuff. Pulled me out of that swamp right on time...

It's been a long road sincd then. 5 years, therapy, a lot of stuff got healed. Found the perfect therapist for me! We also tackled that trauma situation. And we got it all sorted out and everything. I can talk with other people, I have no hard feelings anymore. I closed that chapter after carefully dissecting it in therapy and learned my lessons.

I also found a new girl in my life. She's incredible! We're just seeing each other for a few months now, but she's close to perfect for me. And I'm apparently for her.

Now... My ex sometimes visits the supermarket close to my home. And every time I see her car in the parking lot, or see her in person, my heart races, i just wanna turn around and run.

In the 5 years since the breakup, i stood up to a guy threating a friend of mine with a knife. I had a motorcycle crash and was calm as fuck. But seeing her makes me horrified!!

Does anybody has any tips on how to handle that? My therapist is great, but he told me it will get better with each time... I just want to know if somebody had similar situations and has a tip or two for me how to handle that.

Thanks a lot!

When Lute is working her way through the office of Adam, we can see her smashing all kinds of stuff.

Obviously there are no labels on the records on the wall. But what do you think did Adam listen to?

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

Hope this is the right community for that. Kinda new here, so apologies if I'm at the wrong place...

I (M31) got out of a really bad relationship 5 years ago. Thought she was the love of my life, prepared to propose, but ended up with a few years of trauma therapy. Decided to get my shit together, like all of it (depression, the trauma, generational trauma inherited by my parents etc.) and halt dating until I'm ready again. Had one or two short-timed dating phases that never turned into something real.

Then I met her (F26) at a mutual friends birthday party. And it simply matched! We fit together perfectly, it feels completely natural to spend time with her, talk to her and just be with her.

Since we both enjoy sex very well, we ended up in bed after our second date. And it was great. All the times afterwards too.

Except for one thing: I am not able to orgasm myself... She doesn't have an issue with it. But she confessed to me that it feels strange for her that I don't orgasm during sex. And of course she's doubting if I have as much fun as she has.

Which I do! I love the sex with her, it's simply perfect. I also find her very attractive, so that's not an issue her. And I can't get my mind around the fact that it doesn't work...

Everything is... Ready to go down there, even for 20-30 minutes, no issues to keep it up. But it feels like during sex, 10% or so are missing.

Do you have any idea? It feels almost psychological, but no idea what it might be... Anyone ever encountered something similar?

To be fair it puts a strain on the newly growing relationship... And i want her to feel attractive, I want her to feel like she is able to get me there. I told her many times that it's fine for me as it is. And that it's definitely not her fault, but and issue on my side...

Hello,

I'm really not sure what to say or do right now or if this is even a problem worth talking about... I don't want to bother anyone, but it keeps my thoughts occupied the whole day...

I am currently seeing someone knew. We got to know each other view her best friend, she introduced us at a birthday party. We had a great vibe, spent the night together without having sex (because she's really not into one night stands) and even met a few days later again. We talked for hours, and this time we ended up in bed, had sex like 4 times that night and the next morning and continued texting afterwards. She's living and working roughly 3 hours away (not quite commuting distance in central Europe) so we can't see each other that much.

But we agreed on another date. That will be in one and a half weeks, on Saturday. There we also wanted to talk on whether this will have a future as a relationship or not. Because of the distance, this could become an issue. But from my sight, I am willing to take the risk and travel to her as much as possible because I realised I'm really into her by now...

Now comes my issue with that: i have a mental health background, with a really abusive relationship, depression and quite a bit of anxiety regarding relationships. After that mentioned relationship I met a few women, but it somehow always ended rather unpleasant for me... (Returned to her ex (happened twice...), nearly stole my car and money, stuff like that).

So... Starting last Saturday, she seemed really invested in the next date, setting some ideas and stuff for us to do, also involving her best friend and her partner to spent time together.

Now, starting yesterday, I feel like she shifted a bit... She's still texting a lot, but everything seems to be focused on that Saturday... Feels like there we will decide if we become a couple or not. I know that i want to be with her. But right now i cannot tell what she wants...

And it drives me nuts! This will be the longest time of my recent life to wait for that day!! I just wanna be with that woman, but I am horribly afraid that she will tell me broken hearted that she cannot do long distance relationship... Which is fine, I will never question her decision. But right now I don't know how to handle the time until then...

I'm happy for every advice, strategy how to handle it etc. Maybe I'm too invested already, but for me she's close to perfect in a partner. Up until two days ago I had the impression she thinks similar. And there are still signs pointing that way. But also other signs...

I don't know, i just want to mentally survive these 10 days and be as functional as possible. Because I cannot and will not change her decision, but I have to wait for way too long to get it told...

Please, I'm so eager for advice!

Thanks for your help! I know it's a lot of crybaby moment... Normally I'm not like that. But this is so important for me right now...

Hi everyone,

It's the morning after our latest date. We had an amazing day, an amazing night and a beautiful morning. We talked about things i could never talk with any woman before, we had amazing sex multiple times of the night.

Maybe it's the honeymoon phase, i don't know. But for me, almost everything about her fits perfectly for me.

And I'm pretty sure for her it's similar. Her best friedn hooked us up at a party a while ago. We met a few days later again, at a birthday party. I had the assumption that I need to step up and charm her. Turned out later that I was actually the one that was set up by the two of them :D so yeah, she is definitely into me.

Problem is: she has a career she is very invested in. She wants to become a pilot, and therefore is bound to the airline that is financing her flight school program. That airlines HQ is a few hours away by car. So commuting is not really an option, especially later in training when you have a response time of 60 min...

This will last for 6 years. After those 6 years she definitely wants to get back to where I am currently living and where she's originally from. She's also around at the weekends as often as she can.

But still, it will be long distance for not only a few months or 1-2 years, but longer than any relationship i had uo until now. Therefore I'm a bit... I don't know, unsure?

I really like her and a huge part of me is willing to take the leap. I don't know about her, but she's definitely leaning towards it too.

Is there anyone around her who had a similar situation? How did it turn out? Can something like that work or do you think it is doomed from the very beginning?

I'm happy for every new perspective I can get :)

So, i was just thinking: how do you handle holy ground above the ground?

​

Considering that consecrated / holy ground is a pretty powerful ward against demons and other entities, it is safe to say that it should have limitations, right?

​

How do you handle its effect in height? Is all air above and beyond holy ground sacred? Or if not, when and where does it stop? Does the effect fade or get weaker over time?

​

Happy to discuss and hear what you think!

Today I was in Budapest and walked up the Gellert Hill. For those who don't know: at the foot of the hill, there is a church built into the mountain.

​

While walking up, i thought: if there is a church down there, there must be an altar or something. So an area considered holy ground. With a typical church, you typically don't walk above the altar area. But here, anybody can walk on top of it.

​

So i thought: is there a "height limit" to holy / consecrated ground? Or does it extend infinitely high? Could you then, in theory, have a holy mess on top of the hill, right above the altar area?

​

Can you help me with that? Is there maybe even an "official guideline" for that? How do different religions handle that?

​

Thank you!

I mean, what is he gonna tell his father after The Beach?

The Prince and Princess of the Fire Nation came into our house and started breaking stuff and burning it down?

Yeah, right, son... This is exactly what happened, and you definitely did not have a huge party that escalated...

I just rewatched ATLA and something bothered me:

We are introduced to Ba Sing Se as almost impenetrable. Iroh tried for weeks and barely could open the outer wall before falling back. Okay, he was grieving. But still. The city seemed impenetrable.

Then comes the Gaang. I mean sure,. They are pretty powerful benders ngl. But they are still kids. And they simply fly into the inner sanctum of the inner sanctum of the Earth Kingdom, the Royal Palace, and can basically whip asses left and right against what has to be the elite of the Earth Kingdom army?? How are those the best (presumably, as they protect the king, the most valuable thing in a kingdom!) of the best of the best??

And then, a few decades later, a team of 4(!!!) basically conquered the city! Zaheer unbreathing the Earth Queen, fine. But Ghazan alone tore down the wall?? Apparently the whole Fire Nation was not capable of conquering the city (that is so impenetrable that it is basically named impenetrable city!), but 1(!!!) lava bender is enough?

So you wanna tell me, that 1 skilled or maybe a few good earthbenders are enough to conquer that city? And that teenagers can easily defeat the elite forces of the Earth Kingdom?

And then: the Fire Nation had colonies in the Earth Kingdom for nearly 100 years. And in over 100 years, not a single traitor to the Earth King stepped up and said "hey guys, I like you. Let me help you win this war, it's pretty easy!"

And not a single colonist descendent with loyalty to the fire nation and earth bending skills rose up and helped the army of Iroh to conquer the city? Especially Iroh, who learned to incorporate other bending styles in his own to combine all the advantages??

I know it's a tv show. But that bugs me more now that i rewatch it... This city seems so conquerable as soon as you're not fire nation...

What do you think about that?
