enjoy your ice cream and future career funding startups trying to make 'uber, but for anarchy'

feeling weird about commenting on here so much recently, and being consistently active for a while.
it's the most social i've been in years, and i'm even doing more than just giving (probably useless) advice and making jokes.

it's got me being squirrelly and feeling like running away, but i don't know if i want to or not.

this comment probably won't help, lol

i just did whatever was recommended

so you're saying you submitted to the authority of the bootmakertoothtaker? :p

sounds like you made the right choice, i'm glad it's all sorted for you, dental work is the worst (as are shoes when you don't want them)

pregnancyanarchist crisis centres

i see a few people following it, but the people who don't are going faster than they used to

crutches kind of inhibit vandalism

they'd be the perfect lightweight vandalising implement, if they didn't already have another job

i'm glad you're ok

i think it's actually getting worse since the 20mph limits, but hopefully they'll get over themselves soon

what kind of gender protects you from people doing that while you're just standing in the street?

(not the person you were replying to)

while islamophobia is it's own thing, it's also racism. i haven't heard the whole "it's a religion not a race!!!1!" thing in ages, not that i've been looking.

no religion is just one thing and they all change over time. there are plenty of queer people who consider themselves christians, observant jews, and muslims, and there are subsets of those religions who accept them.

it doesn't make much sense to me, but it makes a lot more sense than gay republicans/conservatives/nazis, and there are plenty of them too.

your hijacking of f/lesserevilism to promote lesser evilism

i know this makes perfect sense, but still chuckled

you ok, kinshavo?

your last few comments worry me, it doesn't seem like a joke.

do you have to be homeschooled to become a feral animal? asking for a friend

yeah, problems imply a need for solutions, and eventually a final solution.

see also: white families/institutions stealing indigenous babies in north america/australia in the past (mostly), and americans buying/selling babies straight from africa right now to abuse since they can't have personal slaves anymore.

have you ever gone through a choose-your-own-adventure book?
that's what a game with choices like that fundamentally is.

the story you experience as you go through is a collaboration between you and the writer(s), with the option of going back and experiencing it differently.
(normally here i'd put a joke about always making the same particular choice due to feeling for a character, but i haven't played bg3 and don't remember any other examples)

how you decide what you want to do is up to you.

this is the whole 'starving kid in africa' thing again, isn't it?

has anyone's reaction to this/that ever been anything other than "let them have/do it then"?

(not the person you responded to)

just anti-authoritarian, i think

hmm, good point.

time to set up a shrine to a sexy photo of nils olav in the bedroom.

Carnists really will just consider torturing animals and making them live as long as possible in a state of terror better than just killing them.

but they're free-range, and there's a picture of a smiling sturgeon on the carton!

so my partner has taken another step in working more out about their head and what goes on in it and stuff, which has been a very long journey.

it's weird in that it's stressful and awkward for them, and each development tends to be technically revealing a bad thing (mostly retroactively, if that makes sense), but...

as usual i'm really really pleased and happy for them so much that i'm a bit bouncy. answers are good, and can provide a path to a better, happier life for them with more understanding of theirself and less bad messiness (but more good messiness) and yeah.

i have to mostly keep that tamped down because getting it all worked out means a lot of work for them, and i have to limit how much i try to help with that even if i can, but this time at least letting the positive shine through has been really good at letting them see this in a better light which is important, in this case.

bonus points to raddle for providing links to resources that have been a good starting point for them to learn/explore more about this new(ly revealed) development from a less disorder-y/medicalised (psychologised?) point of view.
i have spent probably too much of my life reading and learning from random people talking on the internet, and this is like the third time it's come in handy for exactly this situation (but the first time it's raddle, lol)

[family members a] and [family member b] decide to swap house for the duration of the trip

as if that's a normal thing to do?

how boring do you have to be to be able to swap houses with someone like that (when in a situation with an established household)?
what if they found all your weird and/or kinky shit?

i'm sorry you've got drama to deal with, even if it is tradition.
but well done for not just going with the flow and being miserable

well they were never going to let hostages get in the way of their chance to get away with genocide'revenge' (and i believe some minister pretty much said so quite early on), but also i've read that most of the people living in the area near gaza (or at the one music festival) are at the less fascist, more pro-palestinian side of israeli society, so that's extra reason to not care when the civilian hostages came from there.

you're so solid 🎵

11/10, high five!

i reckon seals could probably give the best high fives in the world

but getting one from an elephant seal would probably mean not going to work for a lot longer while the bones heal, maybe a bonus
