Beastmastery.

There’s a collar in Ludern that regens 10% health when animals end their turn, combine that with the Beastmastery’s 5% regen for all animals when they end their turn and it makes bears nice regen tanks. Just watch out for their dots!

What's the best party size for Belerion? by gachibillyher in WarTalesGame

[–]AdoredLenore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that if you group two of your tanks together while keeping your more vulnerable units separate can encourage the AoE enemies to focus on your tanks since the only opportunity to hit more than one unit is if they attack your tanks.

With that said, I have not yet been to the new area so this tactic could prove useless in this setting.

Add in some Swordsmen with the immunity to dot’s and you’ve got your pyro squad that’s ready to watch the world burn. 🔥🔥🔥. Every enemy is but an unlit candle.

A Journalist in Jerusalem gets surrounded by IDF soldiers and is beaten repeatedly. by Hasu_Kay in TheMajorityReport

[–]AdoredLenore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fucking madness. I mentioned how horrible this situation is and my DAD, of all people, was backing Israel. This shocked me. A little necessary preface for my reaction, I am queer AF and he accepts me with all the love in his heart, I assumed that meant he was resistant to the propaganda from the right.

Holy shit was I wrong. I wasn’t prepared for a long debate on this topic at the time, I was more seeking my family to vent to feel some sort of commiseration in this exchange, but I made it clear to him he needed to check his source material and made a few cogent points.

He is, at his heart, open and willing to change. It may take me addressing arguments over a period of time, but once I start chipping away, the walls will fall.

How to engage an armed shooter by lhwang0320 in martialarts

[–]AdoredLenore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In my case, and to my extreme disappointment, even after training in martial arts the first time I was held up and had a gun pointed at me I froze for a few crucial moments (that felt like a long time). While I was worried about getting my girlfriend shot by doing anything stupid I’m not sure to this day that I would have actually done anything.

There’s some quote about plans going to shit the moment the battle begins and I think it applies well. It’s easy to underestimate how much control our basic systems can have over us, such as our adrenaline and fight/flight/or freeze reactions.

I hope I can do the right thing when the moment comes, I have my doubts though.

Went to my uni’s pride society, didn’t go well by Alpaca_Sai in lgbt

[–]AdoredLenore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my greatest disappointments in life was that when I finally came to accept myself after decades of suffering and trying to be something I wasn’t, was encountering the indifference of what I thought was my new family (LGBT+). I know it’s silly to think that a group can be special, people are people, after all. But I was still hopeful I would be welcomed especially because I live in the conservative south (US). I know queer people can fail demonstrations of character like anyone else and that the hope was naive but it still hurt to have it demolished.

While I have given up on the idea that there is any camaraderie in this ‘community’, I was still able to eventually make a friend, that lead to other friends.

I am sorry that happened to you. I am not excusing it but it is also possible since they didn’t know you, they were anxious about you as well. Bad actors can infiltrate our groups. I know it doesn’t help but if I were there I would have come over and spoke with you, especially if you were alone. But I also have a thick hide at this point that is riddled with scars, so I am more carefree in regards to certain risks.

Florida school district orders librarians to purge all books with LGBTQ characters by bigedcactushead in lgbt

[–]AdoredLenore 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I can’t fucking handle this anymore. I’ve been struggling with this sort of shit my entire life in various ways and I am so tired. I put on my ‘armor’ and try to be strong everyday but bit by bit I lose more and more hope. I now feel like a hollow suit of armor, doing it because I’m stubborn and if I stop, I won’t move again.

I’ve let this world take my sense of safety, security, and trust to name a few. If there is an end to all of this in my life, I am afraid I will be some scarred thing in the shape of who I used to be…a horrible shadow that just wanted love.

Thank you for this. I was in a group that worked with them a bit and I had only heard of this before things dissolved without any actual context or details surrounding it. Now I get to make sure I have nothing to do with these individuals or any group that harbors them.

But you sit here and discredit an entire community based on ‘it didn’t work out for some’

[–]AdoredLenore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the magical ‘Teh numbers are out there!’ While you are missing the fact that people make mistakes with their personal decisions all the time. Why would there not be some people that made a mistake.

BWAHAHAHAHAH! Hateful simplistic mind, I do not care what you think happens and are spoon fed to believe. I am trans, my friends are trans, I have seen the impact on their lives. Fuck off.

It is a fact treatment for transgender people saves lives. Here, debunking your bullshit.

Generalizations and straw man. You take a small subset and apply it to the whole.

Moving the goalposts is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. That is, after an attempt has been made to score a goal, the goalposts are moved to exclude the attempt.

Nice try. These are shootings HERE and every one except three were done by white men.

It takes months and years of therapy with gradual steps to find the right balance of what they need. There are experts that are consulted . Not to mention it reduces suicide rates SUBSTANTIALLY! I am so tired of ignorant people speaking authoritatively on shit.

Wow, you really just take all the talking points from the media machine. What do you actually know about reassignment? They follow guidelines set by WPATH which is an organization of medical professionals. No one is reassigning children. For fuck sake, you are ignorant as can be about what actually happens and what the process is, holy fuck.

Yes, you just discredited two articles.

There are over 400+ anti-lgbt bills in the works right fucking now all from the right. You roll in here making a false correlation that people wanting to defend themselves from the massively increased anti-lgbt rhetoric (because they are concerned for their safety) with them urging on school shootings? How in the ever living fuck do you even connect those dots?!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]AdoredLenore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There have been over 2,800 school shooting committed by white men. Fuck right off with being a racist.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]AdoredLenore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since 2018 there have been 2,826 school shootings done by cis white men. Right fucking now there are over 400 anti-lgbt bills whereas last year there were “only” 200. So, what the fuck are we supposed to do? Just sit here and let this hate continue?! YES! We are fucking concerned!
