  • Also, for what it’s worth, my family was from the south. My reunions and funerals and weddings all take place somewhere in a holler with 1 Walmart about 40 minutes down the mountain.

    My uncle once said, and my mother agreed, in relation to gay men “I wish they’d put em all on an island somewhere, they’d be happier that way”.

    But I wasn’t lucky enough to know my grandpa as a man of wisdom. He’d said enough stupid shit, or abided it in his home when his children begged for '“Barack Houssein O’bummer’s” birth certificate. He had a dog named Blackie, that I called Blackie because I wouldn’t dare say it’s real name if someone asked.

    What was good in them did all truly disappear in front of me day by day from that point. Hell, I actually believed the ‘states rights’ reason for the civil war until I was at least 14 or so. Crazy what stupid can breed



  • I think it’s more to do with that if the collective workers vote to become a union or not, and succeeds in that vote, then the owner/company must recognize them as the union and engage in negotiations as such.

    If the vote of the workers fails to choose to unionize…well usually that means the people who tried to organize it get fired because there’s no union

    I agree in that it doesn’t need to be required, but I think you’re leaving money on the table and intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world.

    You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option and maybe some extra visual cues, but games that go farther and allow more people to enjoy their product are better products for it.

    Souls games are great. I don’t want to ‘get gud’ so I haven’t bought one ever, and with no difficulty drop I probably never will. I don’t have time for that. It’s not a bad game because they don’t have features to make it more accessible to me, but it COULD be a better game if they did.




  • My wife and I use the pinky promise as a sacred oath and sometimes an investigative tool.

    If we’re not okay, or we’re worried the other is putting on a face to get through a moment without being honest, the pinky is used as a “I won’t ask again, just promise me you’re alright, or will be alright, and we’re good” and that kicks off a conversation or she confirms that she’s fine and the tone is residual from another frustration.

    Pinky is sacred, if my wife lied on a pinky promise, it would breach our deepest marital trust.




  • Could not possibly disagree more on whether it’s boring. I’m not sure where you got the idea that it’s the same stuff over and over, did you mean the stuff in the prologue mission, because once it ‘opens up’ post prologue you can do whatever you want.

    There are some rocks you can’t jump to, but they’re pretty few and far between and mostly situated in major story areas or arenas that they don’t want you cheesing a fight in. Other than that, I was all over the mountainsides, sliding up and down hills and slow mo jumping off cliffs. I highly recommend giving it another shot with the mindframe that it’s a different kind or action RPG than you’re used to, I promise that the story is compelling and the bigger monster takedowns can feel so satisfying.






  • I think maybe it’s pointless in the sense that the average shopper doesn’t think it influences them. Statistically, it does, but they may not feel like it does.

    It’s still shitty, regardless of how effective it may appear. There’s a reason the common items are always spread out, as I’m sure you know. Can’t have someone grabbing milk, cheese, eggs, bread, and fruit all from the same section, then they’d miss the donuts and the cakes and the frozen pizas and the ‘managers discount’ almost expired meat section (I like almost expired meat, I’m poor too, but still)



  • But how does that make any sense in regards to trans issues?

    Like, I’d get if maybe some laws weren’t being brought to vote because it doesn’t fit the agenda for the day, but do you really think all 3 branches of our government are so embroiled in lgbtq+ issues that they aren’t making other laws? How does what politicians are discussing on social media or on television affect whether a regulatory agency is going to open their eyes and prosecute when things are put on their desk? Is the SEC (not the government, but the governments enforcers) discussing trans medicine this whole time instead of intentionally looking away from white collar theft?
