The fact that you only equate sex/nudity to porn reveals the problem.

I took the trouble to delineate tasteful nudity, or sex that actually serves a purpose in the plot (your fine examples of drama or fear are great suggestions, though I worry about the encroachment of porn with a "fun sex scene") from common smut.

As for public life: the theater is a public place, my thought goes no further than that.

Thinking back now, I can even empathize with some of your feelings here. In the abu dhabi branch of the louvre, there is an ancient marble statue of a man that stands twice my height if my memory serves. Its genitals have been roughly gouged out with chisels in stark contrast to the smooth curve of skin and cloth for the entire rest of the statue. It's nauseating and disrespectful not just to the creator's work and vision but to human dignity. I think me seeing that statue and feeling what I felt is something comparable to how you now feel. I'm not afraid of or ashamed of the human form or human sexuality, but these things have a time and a place and a respect due that is often not granted or even considered.

So maybe im just watching the wrong movies. what not-porn movie are you watching that treats sex with the dignity and respect it deserves?

That seems... Well, its your life bub.

one thing I'm seeing here is probably more rocks than I would ever want for geomancer, making moving hard. How many times in your fight did rocks block your path forcing you to take a hit? I spend at least half of my turns in geomancer just clearing rocks to make evading rock hits safe. Same with trap disarming- I see three traps there, is there any chance you were forced to choose between eating the trap and taking a hit?

Since you insist on fighting the geomancer with his minions, there's a way perhaps you could use this to your advantage. With careful positioning, and perhaps the use of, say, a wand of blasting for either you or minion or both, or a pre-planted yellow seed, or tele rune, you could cause the minion to eat a flying rock, getting two birds stoned at once. Could also knock the minion into one of the traps with careful positioning and the blast wand. Probably not, but maybe geomancer eats minion hits too?

Weird question that will seem like a non-sequitur unless you've played it- have you ever played into the breach? It's exactly the kind of resource-limited chess-like strategizing I think you'd need to successfully navigate the landscape of the puzzle you've set up for yourself.

You might also try just killing all but one or two minions, leaving the rest alive, and see if other strategies don't generate organically as you gradually increase your difficulty by decreasing minions killed before starting.

In summary, practice, planning, and patience.

The point of John Wick is the gratuitous violence. The plot of John Wick is in service to delivering gratuitous violence. The name for a movie whose plot is in service to delivering gratuitous sex is "pornography." Tasteful, artistic nudity is one thing. Even sex, in service to the plot or purpose of the movie, is another thing. But sex just to sell the movie or check a box is not a thing: we're now talking smut. Cheap, common, vulgar smut.

"Everyone is ugly and everyone is fucking" is just real life. If you want "Everyone is beautiful and everyone is fucking," good news- that's called porn already, and there's so much of it. I like smut, and porn. Which is why I can recognize softcore in movies when I see it. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but if I wanted to watch porn I'd go home and masturbate.

I congratulate you on your personal sexual liberation. Please keep your jollies to yourself- in private- while we pitiful repressed twilight zone voyeurs awkwardly exclude sex from our public lives.

I don't understand the question. You want to fight the boss while his minions are up, and you want advice on how to do that better? For like, the challenge of it?

do you actually think the potential misapplication of the word carpet is the thing that makes it a genocide or not? let me help you with that

‘carpet’ is very obviously used in a figurative sense to describe “a lot, like in world war two” above, not the technical sense your strictly literal pedantic argument would require to have any pretense of validity.

the person obviously does not know that "carpet" bombing means anything other than "a lot, like in world war 2". this pedantic bullshit you're trying to pull does not fly, nor does it argue against the fact of genocide if true. i have already answered literally all of this before. it is a red herring, you are not arguing in good faith, and i am now blocking you, you disingenuous troll.

I refer to two comments ago in which I explained how neither I nor the person who originally used the word 'carpet' were claiming that israel was "carpet" bombing civilians, try actually reading the 2nd half of the 2nd paragraph of that comment. This subject is a red herring and a very very stupid waste of my time. Further attempts to engage on the subject will be taken as evidence of bad faith on your part.

I refer to the entirety of my previous comment, and especially my comment before that which mocked you for this.

do you actually think the potential misapplication of the word carpet is the thing that makes it a genocide or not? let me help you with that

the proof is in the genocidal language and intent, the mass starvation, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and infrastructure, the manipulation of journalism, the unhesitating violation of human rights and international law. its a genocide because of the systematic erasure of a people, a culture. 'carpet' is very obviously used in a figurative sense to describe "a lot, like in world war two" above, not the technical sense your strictly literal pedantic argument would require to have any pretense of validity. "lie about carpet bombing"

"they dropped a whole bunch of bombs, yes, but nowhere did it say they dropped them all simultaneously. if the word 'carpet' doesnt fit, you must acquit israel of genocide"
