There really isnt much distance between being a transphobe and being a racist.

Being bigoted against one usually means being bigoted against the others as well.

BG3 act 2 spoilers? So in act 2 you go to the last light inn and talk to Jahira. She says to go talk to the selunite priestess. But did you know that if you then ignore her and go kill the demi goddess girl, Jahira is the only non zombie at last light and doesn't seem to know everyone is dead lol

If I start a battle with a stealth attack in BG3. Why when it rolls initiative do I lose my action? That happened PRIOR to initiative being rolled. Why do I get penalized for playing intelligently?

Something that drives me insane is when Youtubers refer to pattern welded steel as "Damascus steel". You know what they used in Damascus tho?? Woots steel. Not pattern welding. And I know I know "it's marketing" Shut up, I'm autistic and it's incorrect and I'll never forgive them.

I'm still saying, if the government is shut down anyway. States should stop paying taxes. We don't have to have a king. Just ignore him. And as states pick up more and more of their constituents needs, we won't even need the fed. Or independent states can refederate. But fuck this government man.

This story starts with illegal communism in the first paragraph, described as what the nation should be. Then they try to tie it back to the founding fathers somehow? The people who thought only landed white men deserved rights? and still had freaking slaves. Stop avoiding it and accept communism

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Same in DC. It’s been two months.

Still constant helicopters overhead. Abandoned work trucks where neighbors have been kidnapped by ICE. Armed national guard walking the streets. Feds posting up in former unhoused spaces to keep people away.

yeah, which I'd be totally ok with! ...If the zombies were unique so it felt cool to do. I'm not sitting there while 60 identical zombies smack the same dude for a 10min turn. I'd be happier if it was capped at like 3 total summons but they could be unique.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

the exact opposite of trans sky. On trans sky it's "let's see how you used to look, so we can see how much happier and hotter you are now" "you from a different era" is "lemme see your glowup"

Chaminda Jayanetti @cjayanetti.bsky.social · 2d

"Post you from a different era" is middle-aged Bluesky code for "lemme see you when you were hot"
