@ArdainianRight >his favorite hole is his butthole that's not Pulitzer-prize language there. He doesn't just say "the asshole is my favorite", but "the asshole is a kind of universal vagina". That's Pulitzer language right there as it speaks to the generation's experience of incompatible ports, and of having to turn USB plugs around the other way to try to plug them in again, and the slow convergence towards USB-C as the universal port for power and communication. The asshole as the USB-C of orifices? Saying that, implying that, while artfully not resorting to exclusive technical jargon? Bravo!
That this is also wrong and disgusting is part of the appeal for the intended audience.

of nothinglessons from a bit of surfing https://twitter.com/MalesInDisguise 1. 'HRT' (taking estrogen) is a scam. Years on it, no change whatsoever in appearance. Why would you prefer your delusions to wanting to get value for money? Is someone else paying for it? 2. 'HRT' (chemical castration) is also a scam. There are people asking how they can overcome erectile dysfunction while taking drugs that cause it. How does that happen? No medical professionals willing to get fired just for making sure that the deluded understand what they're actually ingesting. 3. I understand Turd Flinging Monkey's transgender support now, beyond his expressed (very cynical) reasons: trannies are a population of near-insane incels that absolutely, desperately, need his advice. For one, a very realistic doll is a lot cheaper than harmful and pointless drugs, and if you fuck it your monkey brain will conclude that you're in a relationship. That's sad, too, but it's a private sadness you can potentially recover from one day. You don't have to introduce yourself to people with doll-related pronouns. 4. We need children's programs, illustrated books, new fairy tales, to make it universally understood how reality-warping and insane it is to join these communities that can only exist online because they bring together super-ultra-mega-fringe aspects of people and make them seem like real communities with real people in them. It's not even that the people themselves are fringe, but what they *present* of themselves is a fringe of their own lives. The internet can let you binge 555 hours of something that looks real but is made up of a million people playing pretend, each, for only 2 seconds out of their day. A million suicidal people pretending that they're happy with their decisions.
@matrix low-level reply, there. Downright conservative. Here's a higher-level one: >Where can I go to fail this test in the US? Does it *have* to be Washington DC?
@LukeAlmighty@matrix you've got remember all the dates where other people did wrong things to you. And, world history in general.
What I don't get is chemistry being so hard. What's going on in the UK?

@BowsacNoodle@thatguyoverthere the thin end of the wedge will be non-binding instant trials. "The AI says you would lose in a jury trial. Do you want to take a plea bargain?"
Then, weight's added to the scale. "If you don't accept the plea bargain, because you ignored the AI's decision, you'll get a harsher punishment."
Then, why let the DA make decisions? The right doesn't trust DAs anymore anyway and the left won't have to buy them when the AI has Soros opinions inherently, and when this is complained about, "that's just reality. White men get harsher punishments because white men do worse crimes."

@D-Droid@WashedOutGundamPilot@Humpleupagus no. Guys inherently feel post-nut clarity. "Sage mode". If they feel disgust, it's because the situation was always disgusting and their lust had disguised that fact, with the sudden clarity of mind allowing them to see it.
@MuscleOrc1221@marlin@WashedOutGundamPilot also makes sense as a call for soothing. A guy fucked her in the ass and then made her feel bad about how gross anal inherently is. She posts this, other people tell her as much, she feels better.
@olmitch@coolboymew@Moon@noyoushutthefuckupdad more likely that she did think of mixed-race people, but associated all discussion of them with racism. Take Obama: to everyone on the left, he's just black. It's only right-wing people who took note of his white mother. It's only right-wing people who express irritation when the Obamas or Kapernicks or the Malcolm Xes actively despise their white admixture.
Also, although in the old days you could just say that a half-elf has both elf and human ancestry and who cares more about it, progressive D&D has to apply the same "Obama is just a black guy" logic, and it gets tricky: >a half-elf is just a human because elves are white? >a half-orc is just an orc because orcs are black? ... then what are humans? >drow parent and white human parent -> drow? >drow parent and black human parent -> human?
They can't just say "here's my exact parentage. Let's play the game. Maybe you'll notice that I didn't get the elf genes of lewdness, maybe you'll notice that I got an orc gene for aggression. This is all just some fun observations." They have to say "wait wait we need to establish my exact placement on the progressive stack. Who can I cancel and who can cancel me? Also it's racist to take note of my genes in any way." discomfort-not-racism.jpeg
@zemichi@coolboymew Amazon review of a Russian language book: >The rest of the book with the dialogues is written in standard, serif font that translates perfectly, But in the beginning, there are survival phrases written in cursive, where the Cyrillic letters aren't right. I have to look at the English phonetic underneath I know 90% of these phrases and know whent they are wrong! Cpacibo is cpacubo. Izvinite is izbunume. How does a t turn into an m? Why are the letter i's turning into u? I almost tossed the book until I got to the section with the actual dialogues and saw that it's normal looking, but the hundred or so survival phrases come with issues. >How does a t turn into an m? Yes, how does it?! It's crazy, isn't it! But it's legit Russian, and not a defect in the book.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@CrushBead@Moon@coolboymew I've heard that Rasputin once made a sexual appeal to the wife of the Tsar, right in front of the Tsar, with no more result than that she kind of laughed at him.
How could that happen? Because he was a character, and everyone knew that character. Part of RPG games is sticking to a character so you can get the same kind of dynamic, where crazy interactions can happen and people just say "well yeah, of course he immediately set the prison on fire. That's how he is. If the DM didn't want it to happen he should've made a less flammable prison."
@coolboymew@noyoushutthefuckupdad@Moon >goblin calls you a "typical slutty elf" NO. BAN. this is racism and slut-shaming. I'm so offended, I can't believe you included this in your game. I was once catcalled, you know! >goblin hits you in the head with an axe, cracking your skull. you fall to the ground, spasm uncontrollably while in incredible pain, and eventually die. this is fine :) Nobody I know has ever died or gotten a serious head wound, and if they had, it's probably therapeutic to experience it in a game.
It's just programmed, pattern-based reactions. They have cube-shaped moral outrage and they push it through the little squares that they see open up in reality, with no thinking involved. You can see this most clearly when they misperceive the prompt and get angry over the wrong thing. I once got dogpiled for spoiling a game, not because anyone's experience of the game could have possibly been lessened by what I said, but because I used language that reminded people of famous spoilers (snape kills dumbledore on page 409).
>A passing necromancer traps your soul in your risen corpse and has you guard a sewer for the next 500 years. this is fine :) >A passing necromancer takes you as a zombie slave. Under your master's orders, you guard a sewer for the next 500 years. WTF, SLAVERY!

I live in the red parts of America and even though there's no passport requirement or border checks, going to the blue parts is just pointlessly risky.
on the left: a murderer got life? sounds good to me lol on the right: this entire country is a lie and its law enforcement is partisan and corrupt.
This is the kind of larger response to a trial's results that people only think about when the threat is that black people might riot.
