We've found strange geometries, clearly artificial spreading out great distances from the structures. The structures themselves are rather dull beyond having row after row of messages in various written languages. These were a treasure trove of knowledge as each language appeared to have the same message warning of a powerful and dangerous force trapped underground. Clearly whoever built these believed in some great curse and was devoted enough to stopping it to gather as many languages as they could to warn any who might come after.

I honestly have never seen a weapon in a RPG that is as funny to me as GUN:GUN.

A gun that does not exist, cannot exist under the laws of physics and probably exists on some sort of meta level where it gets to hack the actual rulebook you play with.

It does exactly one point of damage. Each round. Every round. There are no defence against it. It has future-proofed itself to ensure that there will never BE any defences against it. It doesn't even count as an attack.

It will simply plink away at someone for one HP every turn and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it except try and kill the mech carrying it.

Oh yeah and it's heavily implied to be sentient.

something that should be taken with a grain of salt are the statistics talking about the high rates of mental illness + neurodivergence among trans people (ocd, bpd, adhd, autism, etc)

I see both sides of the political spectrum taking these studies at face value - conservatives say we're broken, and trans people try to come up with reasons why for example autism + gender dysphoria makes sense and why one of them feeds into another

at the end of the day you have to remember that we're the one category of people on this planet who are legally required to go see a psychiatrist in order to receive non-psychiatric medication and surgeries.

more trans people are in therapy by law than any other demographic of people, and as a result, this captures more comorbidities.

if I had to look at my own family & rates of mental illness?

mom, dad, 2 maternal aunts, maternal grandmother, paternal grandmother, sister, sibling, and me all have OCD.

7/9 of them are cishet, never been to therapy, never diagnosed. 2/9 are trans, required therapy for hormone treatment, and were diagnosed.

you don't have to do any math to just see that the resulting statistics end up intensely skewed.

and we can think back to how autism was virtually never diagnosed more than 50 years ago - ruling out any grandparents being included in statistics - and even my parents' generation (they're in their 60s now) wouldn't have been included either.

I don't think it's to anyone's benefit to accept these studies uncritically. a lot of these things are hereditary and far more prevalent in the overall population than people realize

Harrison Armory is the easiest manufacturer to design shit for for you can just make whatever bullshit you want and balance it with heat/limited like

“10 AP Blast 1 on a main? How is this balanced?”

“10 Heat (self)”

“Understandable, glory to Harrison Armory”

there is an interesting pattern in terms of who democrats will bend over backwards and grovel and beg to appease (neocon warhawks) and who democrats will treat with absolute contempt and still feel entitled to their vote, and act betrayed if they don't get it (left-wingers, all minorities)

No doctor will ever get my respect like the woman in the ER who checked me for claws and fangs because I told her I was turning into a werewolf and could feel it and let me know gently that she couldn't find any but that didnt make it feel any less real, like THATS how you do it, other doctors who just flat out told me I was wrong take notes

the funniest and most tragic moment in steven universe is the scene that implies that Pearl pulls bitches like a professional dog walker but doesn't know how phones work so her place on earth is being a life-changing futch fling for every dyke on the east coast there's probably a gay bar in maryland where they talk about the twiggy bird chick that eats milf pussy like it's the last edible thing on earth and they dont even know about the city full of thousand year old neon lesbian amazons who are pent up 24/7 from The War and leaving room for jesus cause they're always hanging out with their softboy nephew who might be the second coming of christ

The problem is that it's a no-win. If Sarah McBride makes this An Issue and fights, then she's giving the GOP another opportunity to campaign on "Democratic wokeness gone amok - and in the Halls of Congress!!!!!!!" and also really double-down and ramp up the offense and harassment. And also not make any impact and spend more time on this than on legislating.

If she goes the route she's going, she gets criticized for weakness and also has to put up with an incredibly and horribly toxic and hostile (possibly violent) environment politically and personally, and still empowers the haters and bigots.

My hope/inclination is to think that the Dem Caucus can come up with a way to help resolve this or deal with this and that they don't back away from her or only offer perfunctory support.
