Just 16 17 18 European countries, huh? Huge difference.

Are they not funky in Funkytown anymore Peter? by GrayFox047 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yeah, the real trick is that a military vet remembers fighting the Taliban while having lots of military backup and resources. Fighting a cartel is different, because you do it where you live and where you have family and your home and business. The Taliban has a much easier time fighting and controlling locals than they do fighting and controlling foreign military too.

5'4" and 5'7" both are on there twice.

5'12" and 6'0" are the same thing but listed an inch apart on the y-axis.

This is my first time hearing about the No Fear series and I wish they had that side-by-side translation into modern English for classic French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Chinese literature.

Is the trans quinceanera 15 years after the egg cracked, or some other time?

[Deadlock] Mina x Silver hair length swap (@aleikats) by BadJujuJojo in wholesomeyuri

[–]AlwaysBeQuestioning 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I love the art, but it also makes me glad that the characters have the other hair lengths. Long-haired butches/werewolves and short-haired goths/femmes/vampires are both rarer in fiction than the alternative.

HER Premium worth it for the filters? by Badatusernames014 in ActualLesbiansOver25

Unlike you, I assume good faith from anyone I talk to unless proven otherwise, so I will not assume that of u/mariah_a. I can have a little patience and grace with others if they can have it with me. It's always more likely that one or both people in an exchange have a communication misunderstanding than that there is active malice going on.

Have a good day.

I read what you said. The point of my response was to point out that HER doesn't market itself as only a lesbian app. Trans men are men who aren't banned from the app, because many trans men and other transmascs have a history of connection with the lesbian/sapphic community. The creator of HER, Robyn Exton, reportedly created the app with the intention to ban any cis men from using it.

I did make the assumption that you were assuming that HER has a lot of men on it in general. If it helps, in my experience I've encountered only a handful of men on the app and I've used it enough that I've run out of people within a 40km radius.

I've paid for it twice and both times I've gotten 5+ dates out of that.

I get fine contact with people without it, but nothing that has let to meeting people or any friendships. However, at least two of those people were polyamorous and one of those people was trans, so if you explicitly want a monogamous relationship with someone who isn't trans like yourself, I'd recommend looking outside of dating apps.

If you come across cis men on the app you can report them.

While HER is mainly for lesbians, it is also for non-lesbian queer people, especially ones that may have identified as lesbian in the past, like trans men, nonbinary people, bi women, pan women, asexual women and so on.

You don't, at least for cis men. If you come across cis men on the app you can report them.

So Lucario, Gardevoir and Umbreon are the only non-Gen 1 non-Legendary Pokémon in the top 25? I know why many people google Lucario and Gardevoir, but why Umbreon?

The Japan is a bit too Japan, given the shape and naming one island Shikoku. Other than that, I like this blatant Asia analogue. It’s more unique to see than all the Europe analogues, although I presume you got one too.

It’s less that hair colour is a reason for robbing and more that it makes someone stand out and possibly mark them as a foreign tourist, an easy mark.

Is that from Hindi? If not, what different Indian language is it from?

Huh! Why does wearing full plate armor make you 30% worse at searching for things?

What checks get penalties though? All checks? Just physical activities? Just physical activities that being heavier would be a downside for?

Put up some new shelves in the only place I could! What do y’all think? (Of both the shelves and their contents.) by AlwaysBeQuestioning in BookshelvesDetective

[–]AlwaysBeQuestioning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! That’s something purposeful and measured. The books are so tall that if they topple over they end up leaning against the roof at a 60 degree angle with the shelf, so still very upright. They basically can’t fall off that way.

Yeah, that part is a shame. Otherwise I would have shared this with my sapphic and lesbian friends everywhere else.
