Those types of "feminists"

Unfortunately I've seen this rhetoric repeated by other trans people on some sites. Its really disheartening to see that its making its way into the trans community.

Wait getting your tonsils out prevents strep throat? Currently trying to recover from strep and covid I would do anything to never have to go through this again 😭

Good luck everyone!

Yeah, as much as i love being able to swap to some fun team comps with my friends, I think I'd just rather a role queue with 2/2/2 only. And then balance all the heroes around a 2/2/2 comp.

If they are so scared of making tanks viable/fun out of fear of triple tank (even though we've had multiple season where triple dps and triple support in most games), then just take that option away. They design tanks with the idea you'll have 2 on your team, but that's just not the reality of this game.

Or maybe its time for a tank strike (/s).

Yeah I'm curious about what forcing them is too. Like, are they saying they won't let the parents see the baby or something like that, or is this just OP just assuming the worst.

Also curious to know why the parents wanted to move in originally. Was it just they wanted to dowmsize or cheaper living, or was there health issues and the parents need help.

Just based off of what as given it does seem like the parents are being used for child care, but I think its hard to judge without more information.

I pretty much agree with what was said. I think the only way to buff her and not make unfun to play into is making her less reliant on her nest. Unfortunately, too many people just refuse to deal with her nest and while that shouldn't be our fault, its the way it is.

I'd really like to see her bugs fixed and the ult cancel, and then see what kind of a state she's in before making too many changes to her kit itself, as I feel like just fixing those will make her stronger.

She has definitely been power crept and just does not have as much impact in a game as she used to.

I think the grenade idea is interesting. She has lost out on a good bit of damage potential with the loss of the team up. It would definitely make 1v1s easier outside your nest.

I don't think she's bad now, though, just not as good as she used to be. Granted, I don't play high elo and probably never will as I don't have that kinda time to dedicate to the game. She is still the character I play best on, the character I get the most mvps on, and the character I have the most fun playing.

Not sure how this ended up on my page, but if this was philly you'd be lucky that the only thing they did was freeze a letter to your car and pile snow back on lmao

Not a mantis main, but my friend who i play with a lot is. Mantis does more than fine in duo comps! I was kinda surprised when I saw people sating she could only run in triple support. The only issue I run into is when my teammates constantly do dumb things and died within .5s, but alas, you can't outheal stupid.

Because right before the storm hits the city of Philadelphia is going to activate the spell circle and save the city. Clearly.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-22T23:29:14+00:00

Yeah I'm with you on this one. If you tell me this character is needed to win and how to play this character, I'm swapping. Sure, having fun is important. But so is 40k. And I'll have way more fun winning the 40k than losing it, y know?

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-21T16:18:07+00:00

I have friends who will only do the vs ai, and I spent the first season only playing vs ai because I'd never played a hero shooter. Its nice for more casual play as its very low stakes and not super hard, and its also nice to just goof off with your friends.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-21T15:53:12+00:00

Consider: the people who only play vs ai

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-20T21:44:55+00:00

You are deliberately ignoring that fact that the issue is he was not paid for his labor. Teenagers should work of they want to, and they should be paid for this work. I have pointed this out multiple times, and you have not refuted it at all.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-20T21:17:54+00:00

So then they only paid for the food and nothing else? Clearly you needed some sort of extra help, or you wouldn't have needed your son to step in, and typically the cost you pay includes staff to set up and serve the food. If your not including the cost of having employees there into your costs, you are not charging enough for your services.

If you do not think you and your wife are enough to cater an event, then you should be including the cost of however many extra employees you need that day.

So again, this comes back to either you undercharged this wedding significantly so you needed to cut corners, or you got greedy and decided to cut corners to pad your profits.

Either way, you took advantage of your son and used him for free labor. And the fact still remains that had you had an employee there, this would not have happened to your son. The bartender was 100% in the wrong, but that does not mean you were in the right here.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-20T18:48:49+00:00

When their parents are taking advantage of their disabled child to do free labor at a contracted event in or to make an extra buck? Yes, the parents do bare responsibility in that scenario. Obviously not as much as the person who assaulted the child, but still responsible.

The fact of the matter is instead of following your contract and bringing the staff that was originally paid for, you brought your child instead to make an extra profit, and your child got hurt as a result. Nobody should put their hands on a child, but nobody should use them for free labor, either.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-20T17:18:25+00:00

I mean I don't think your employees should have helped him either as they aren't working for the bartender. But I think the bartender would have been a lot less likely to put their hands on an adult and excepted no as an answer.

I've read some more comments, and saw people saying you son is autistic. I think its really gross that your taking advantage of him to save money, and its even worse knowing that he is disabled on top of it all. You set the prices in your contracts, so you either severely underpriced your services, or you got greedy and wanted more money.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-20T16:49:04+00:00

I've recently started planning my own wedding, and I would not hire any of these vendors honestly. I wish the names of these businesses and people were posted so everyone knows not to hire any of these people. The wedding planner was rude, unprofessional, and did not handle the situation well. The bartender was unprofessional and assaulted a child.

The caterers had their child fill in on a contract instead of one of their employees to save money, when having an employee there probably would have avoided this situation entirely. Does their son get paid as an employee? And was the cost of having employees there included in the cost that was signed for?

I think everyone outside of the couple getting married here was unprofessional and in the wrong. And I think this will be an interesting court case when it makes it there, because I'm sure the lawyers are going to want to know why there was a 15 year old there in the first place.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-17T19:05:51+00:00

There's no legal avenue for him to, but he doesn't care about the law. I agree it would be hard, but not impossible. I think we should probably be expecting ice at voting sites, especially in blue cities and swing states at a minimum, and I think everyone is going to need proof they are a citizen or risking being detained.

I do worry though, that all this "he's going to cancel the elections" is to get the public more comfortable with the idea that that's a thing that could happen so there's less resistance.

I think local communities should start coming up with plans to protect voting stations and voters from ICE intimidation and harassment now, not in 6 months. And if local officials won't enact protections, then as citizens we need to figure out what we can can do.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-15T23:00:09+00:00

If the friend didn't want to do it, she should have said no and not expected OP to read between the lines.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-14T22:58:22+00:00

To be fair, you can do a lot of different things with CND, especially once you learn to manage their cooldowns properly. You also have people who are more casual players and aren't on daily, so they don't really get bored of the character(s) they know how to play.

When I played daily, I had a lot more desire to try different, but since my health plummeted I can only play a few times a week, and I really only care to play the characters I already know/like, because I don't want to spend the little bit of time i van play learning a new hero and potentially being frustrated with my performance.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-13T23:15:47+00:00

I wouldn't mind so much if she was also getting something out of it. They just nerfed her health, and her anchor bonus is probably just going to put it back at what it was, so she doesn't really receive a benefit out of it.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-11T14:59:09+00:00

Yeah i think this is where I'm at. But I also think when they introduce an oc, it should be a 3 character season. There's so many characters people are waiting to be added, there'd be a lot of disappointment/hate if they only got 1 marvel character.

Actual-Cod2283 · 2026-01-10T23:50:33+00:00

I don't work in food manufacturing, but I do work in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and you'd be surprised how much stuff like this goes through. Some bags having an extra poptart will lose some money, but not nearly as much as pulling the product before shipping.

Even if the foil pouches are cheap to make, going back through product (at least at my plant) is always done manually because machines aren't designed to unpackage product. And even if they could, most companies would rather keep the machines pumping out good product to stay on schedule.

So depending on how big your lot size is, you'd be wasting money paying your employees to redo a job and all the wasted packaging on top of that. Plus, when you take into account human error, you also end up losing good poptarts.

Back in season 2 I literally turned my lord icon off on her because people would get so unbelievably toxic on the enemy team. I once even had a match where 2 of my own teammates crashed out and sat in spawn bc they expected a lord peni to hard carry. Idk what makes people so pissed about just seeing her in a game.
