There are many leftists and minorities that have “voted strategically” time and time and time again only for things to get worse and worse.

This kind of disenfranchisement leads to apathy and low turnout.

We are told from a young age that our vote matters, and then when we are older we are told you can only vote for red fascist or blue fascist and many choose not to participate.

There are more who did not vote than who voted for Trump. This is not what the majority wants, but with the system as it is, it is not possible for the majority to voice what they actually genuinely want and have a chance to get it.

The votes do not have to be rigged at the ballot box for voting as a whole system to be rigged.

Fall deeply, and completely in love

I’d love to see Chrono Trigger get the 2D-3D octopath-style remake that a few old SNES games have gotten.

Absolutely this. It speaks a lot that it’s easier for a millionaire to pirate the game than to get it legally. Make it easy and cheap and people will use it.

Another possibility is that people that don’t return the cart may not be having their needs met. A person who is tired after walking across the hot parking lot may not return it out of a desire to maintain a modicum of health. Or, perhaps, they may not think about it because their cognition is temporarily hindered by hunger, exhaustion, or some other carnal need.

On Maslow’s hierarchy, I’d say if a person meets all of their physiological and safety needs they are more likely to return the cart than those who do not.

This scene was from An Extremely Goofy Movie, released on 2000.

But the point does stand…

I agree with the comments saying to talk to her about it. One thing about trans people is that we are people and you can talk to us like people, lol.

Just imagine she’s cis if you need to, and wanting these things. She wants care and treatment to be the self she wants to be. How do you handle it?

To be honest, I think you’re doing a great job so far. If you’re worried about it… Just talk to her. 💖

Finally got into Baldur’s Gate 3, and oh boy! I get what people were saying. I’m INVESTED. I’m going Dark Urge and currently trying to figure out if I wanna be with Karlach or Shadowheart.

Mom is level 2.

Dad is level 4-5 depending on the day.

My wife’s parents are both level 6. Haven’t talked to them since we came out.

Very excited for Dawntrail. My FemRoe game remains strong!

It’s a very nerdy one.

In Final Fantasy XIV, there’s a race of little dudes named Lalafell. Their naming scheme makes for repeated and rhyming couples between the first and last name.

I made a Lalafell boy years ago named Cocozan Cozan.

After playing for a bit, my wife’s character and mine got married. I decided to change my character’s last name to hers, so the Cozan was gone. We always joked about the height difference, though, since I was a little guy and she was a taller race. So I joked about making the tallest character I could, which I believed at the time to be a female Roegadyn.

We quit playing for a while and then returned to the game a few years later.

When we came back, I decided it was time for a change and used an item that lets you change your appearance permanently. I ended up finding an old saved appearance from when I was joking about Fem Roegadyn, and just went with it.

The name Cocozan was no longer appropriate, given the lore, but I found out I could drop the Zan and it would fit fine.

So I became Coco.

It was absolutely amazing being called Coco and she/her by folks online. It wasn’t the only thing that did it, but the whole thing absolutely helped crack my very thick egg.

I ended up stealing my character’s name IRL, and now I have a very nerdy origin story.

It’s a shame, really. A non-centralized internet has existed before and must exist again if it’s to remain useable. It’s sad so many have given up because of early internet struggles. Things are even far less painful now than I remember them being in the past.

Lol, much happier now than before. Thanks! 💖

Lol, it’s me. Pre-transition I was very potato, and now I’m very rabbit. Potato to rabbit pipeline.

I waffled back and forth on retiring my main character for the end of Endwalker and using my free fanta to change things up. Decided to stick with my femroe, though, and bring her “out of retirement” as it were.

My first plan will probably be to check out Viper and Pictomancer to see if they feel like I’d vibe with them, and then will likely start MSQ stuff a bit after the initial rush has died down. Will likely stick with RDM primary with SGE secondary for the MSQ.

I noticed under systems it talks about two dyes and then being able to wear “facewear and headwear simultaneously”. I know we had heard about glasses, but now I’m wondering if this means certain masks will count as facewear and can be combined with helmets

They’re both running against fascists, lol.

James, while John had had “had”, had had “had had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.

A little bit more emphasis during Star Wars that Vader wanted the Storm Troopers to aim poorly and let them get away. It would have solved decades of jokes and arguments about Storm Trooper weapon accuracy.

OMG! You’re right! I totally missed it. Thank you! This solves the one issue I had with the whole system. 💖
