I overall enjoyed reading it but you’re absolutely correct that it was very self-indulgent and smug for waaaaay too much of it.
I can recommend Dimension 20’s Misfits and Magic (season 2 just got announced yesterday!) as a much better critique that still brings the joy that people felt with the source material to the table. The cast all says fuck terfs too!
I think they have a little bit of both, which is important! One of the best Brennan quotes was “people think I’m nice, but I just conform to the genre”
The bi-cycle!
Not to be completely pedantic, but isn’t New Jersey’s next senator the one replacing Menendez now that he’s resigned? George Samir Helmy?
Normally I’d agree with you, but do we really think the guy tweeting about Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson’s breakup doesn’t know who Taylor Swift is? Now ask him who Charlie XCX or Chappell Roan are, and he definitely wouldn’t have a clue.
So for him it totally tracks to be married to a type of person that you hate.
Women, for example
Not to dissect the frog on the complaining-about-dissecting-the-frog post, but my interpretation was that those sorts of responses are less on the admonishing OP or their friends for having fun shenanigans, and more of as a heads-up to other players reading it why their DM might not allow the same shenanigans if they were to do similarly in their game. Plenty of folks on here are not 100% versed on every D&D rule out there, and I think it’s okay to make informative comments that help people learn the game better.
It sounds like they’ve broken up, so unfortunately couples therapy isn’t likely to be on the table, you can’t realistically ask that of an ex.
Diatomaceous earth only works when it’s dry, fyi, so that can be tricky directly in the garden where things are bound to get wet.
I’ve heard that peppermint essential oil can deter insects, but it does come with the side effect of smelling like you live inside a diner mint, for better or worse.
There’s a lot of dog whistles in these TERF/fascist-lite spaces, but one of the early items JKR advocated for was sending trans women to men’s prisons. You should be able to look this up, it’s well known. Would you not agree that that is wishing harm and/or death on trans women?
I’m sure there are plenty more dog whistles that have happened after that one that I’m not versed in, but hopefully that gives you a jumping off point in your fact checking. I’d recommend videos by Shaun, Jesse Gender, and ContraPoints if you are interested in more compilations and perspectives.
Biden isn’t running for office, so I don’t see how that would apply. This is just a tantrum from someone used to the media following him around as the most interesting thing, and now that he’s not, he’s pissed.
Yeah, I’m suspicious that at least Warren isn’t on that list given her performance in the last primary was higher than several of the folks there. Bernie could be more polarizing (and is also quite old, if that’s the problem) but obviously I’d be interested in his statistics as well.
Bro are you doing these things to actually make women comfortable and safe around you, or are you doing them so that women treat you nicely? The former is feminist, and the latter is disguised chivalry where women still owe you things for treating them like people. Withholding your support of women unless they tell you what a big strong man good ally you are is not a way to a more equal future, and you can apply this to virtually any minority rights movement.
And if you think women being wary of unknown men is a personal critique, I don’t know what to tell you except that it doesn’t reflect well on you. But it seems like there’s a lot of folks here who missed the point hard and are stepping in it, so you’re in company at least.
Wow, what a fun cool way to call someone a slur without having the cajones to type it out plain.
I would say the answer is typically a-parent haha
Not very helpful but I hope a dumb joke makes you smile!
Maybe I have the low, low standards of “does it run at all and I can stand to look at it” lol, in which it performs pretty well! I definitely wasn’t planning on playing current release AAA games on the deck so anything that runs I’m pleasantly surprised.
My wife played the beta version on the deck last summer, and let me tell you, that version was baaaaad. It’s really improved with the new upscaling!
I can vouch for BG3, it runs surprisingly well (fans going to the max of course). I have graphics on medium with the upscaling AMD FSR 2.2 on and it’s perfectly fine on both the small screen and connected to the TV.
Re: OP’s thoughts, I also have a desktop but usually my spouse is on it :) The SteamDeck also travels a lot nicer of course!
He’s a cop, of course he knows how law enforcement will go through and find something incriminating
