At times it was really hard watching my daughterâs biological mother go through the pregnancy because of the envy and dysphoria that it constantly brought forward.
The first six months of her life I had a hard time being around her without feeling the dysphoria intensely and I was so terrified that her first word would be âdadaâ or âpapaâ.
So I guess this is all to say that IMO it is a totally normal thing for us and I think itâs also something a lot of cis women who struggle with fertility issues go through.
The clown who owns xitter has been openly talking about âThe Jewish Questionâ for a while now. Christian and white nationalists (as well as straight up neonazi groups) have been more visible over the last year and a half than at any time in the last half century. Maybe youâre just not that plugged in and all of this is news to you. Maybe you havenât heard the openly hateful and dangerous rhetoric that elected officials on the right have been using when talking about minorities, queer people, and the homeless. Maybe you arenât a student of history and donât realize that this is the exact sort of hateful propaganda that preempts virtually every genocide in recorded history.
Or, and between you and me I think this seems more likely, maybe if youâre acting so surprised or dismissive towards people reacting to the obvious Nazi shit going down in 2025 you have your own agenda to push.
The problem with âgood copâ logic is that after a while it becomes a distinction without a difference because of what you just described. Eventually the system grinds them down and they either quit or accept it for what it is.
So maybe the more accurate sentiment would be âcops either quit with their principles intact or fall in line because the system doesnât allow âgood copsâ to stay that wayâ but itâs a little bit clunkier than the shorthand.
Itâs certainly the best RPG ever written and one of the coolest RPG systems of all time, easily my favorite and itâs not particularly close. I think the point about it not being fun is extremely subjective.
Itâs not a AAA blockbuster with action-driven gameplay but thereâs more than enough entertainment and intrigue to get you through multiple replays in my experience.
Considering it crashed multiple digital storefronts the minute it launched, had hundreds of thousands of players on Steam within an hour, and had been one of the most hyped game launches in years I think itâs safe to say this wasnât a huge factor. Not that it doesnât help.
And the $20 price tag is in the same boat, I know plenty of people (myself included) who wouldâve paid double without hesitation considering the good will Team Cherry has earned from their first game.
Maybe a bit mundane but I think the reason the game is an enormous success is because itâs a sequel to one of the best games of the last decade. That and the developers were able to pour their passion into it instead of having to force it out before it was finished with a bunch of predatory monetization garbage.
I actually knew what my name was going to be more than a decade before I transitioned. The first time I had ever heard it I sort of latched onto it, somehow I never met anyone else with the name (it's not a particularly uncommon name) but it always stuck with me.
So when I started thinking about socially transitioning it was sort of a no-brainer, it felt like my "real" name had been there waiting for me all along. I know that must sound trite and cliche and not at all helpful but it was a really affirming moment in the process for me.
never saw a mental breakdown happen in real time before
weird.
Oh no, wait til you find out about rock music đ¤Śââď¸

I know a few cops too.

Really dig the air cooling setup on this one.

Don't forget a box of those Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, I'm tired of oatmeal for breakfast.
