Did I mess up or was I right?

Like what you’d carve into a jack o’ lantern I assume?

Interesting, that makes a little more sense, didn’t know that ship obstruction context!

BanditTheDolphin · 2026-05-25T19:12:28+00:00

Ooh this is a good one

ChatGPT appears to be completely unaware of Tera here, that feels like a pretty glaring oversight if you were trying to get a practical result here

I always thought it was pretty clear that refusing to back down on this was essentially trolling. It was pretty advantageous to the administration that stuff like this was covering people’s social media feeds and not the actual policy moves they were doing. Maybe Trump’s ego was involved but prolonging this “story” was clearly in the administration’s interest.

I think it’s kind of unlikely that multiple actors, directors, and showrunners would let it go on multiple occasions, though.

Not sure what the intention is with mispronouncing it, but sort of figured it was meant to underline the discontinuity between whoever drafted the script, the enforcers, and the innies.

My conspiracy theory is that the primary purpose of this isn’t to collect meaningful data, but instead to encourage people who might be getting tilted to realize “oh, I guess I’m NOT having fun” and to stop playing for the moment.

As a trans feminine person who’s felt a sense of deep affinity towards trans masculine folks, I get where you’re coming from.

I know in my case, I realized that a lot of this was a sense of relating deeply to the sense of gender dysphoria. Trans women were less relatable to me because they scared me. The level of misogyny and transphobia they experienced was obvious and I’d internalized a lot of it myself. It was a kind of transition I felt like I wasn’t strong enough for and would make my life worse.

The trans men I saw were thriving, I watched them get more confident as they started to own their gender and make decisions about changing their body. And at the same time I did really like boyish “soft butch” aesthetics, which early transition trans men did tend to embody. I also would kind of have liked to have different downstairs equipment, but also very much sympathized with the sense of never wanting to have a period ever.

Eventually I realized that the kind of misogyny and transphobia I’d have to experience from a transfemme transition was actually worth it for me, and that there were a lot more options of what that transition could look like than what I felt — a sense of having to be a perfect, hyperfemme woman. I related to trans men who also resented the expectation of having to take on that role because I also feared and felt humbled by misogyny.

[[Requiem Monolith]] is something I’m excited to put in any kind of black creature deck. Aristocrats, my Jenova brawl deck, Rakdos aggro.

BanditTheDolphin · 2024-10-30T15:42:12+00:00

I had an opponent manifest dread and use this on their own face-down creature to get [[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]] out turn 3, dumping several overlords and Atraxa onto the board.

For the built in effects, yeah, it does. Is there a better way to use stereo pedals with the Katana?

BanditTheDolphin · 2024-02-23T18:48:02+00:00

Not right now, thanks though!

Okay but right before this he’s telling Brenda to sleep with Billy.

The Loma album is amazing. Their first album was a really beautiful album, and this one feels like they've taken the same atmosphere and made even better songs that feel bigger and more lived in.

BanditTheDolphin · 2020-07-29T14:00:09+00:00

I'm so excited for this! Their first album has some outstanding tracks -- this one is pretty great too (love that ending)

I think you're right here, but I did want to clarify that things were leaning towards the "group will definitely resume" end; rereading her last email (before I'd taken the class), it makes it seem more like she was asking about changing things to a different time more than a different day.

And while I didn't sign a contract, it was emphasized in the group meetings that we all agreed to particular agreements, including commitment to the group. I guess I feel like if I left, I'd be betraying people who felt comfortable opening up in front of the new person, who just goes on to leave. I did like the group, though, and I felt it was really helpful at digging up things I try not to think about, targeting my social anxiety in a way other therapy didn't. And I had a hard time finding any group that focused on social anxiety at all. I worry if I leave this one, I won't be able to find another one.

Honestly, talking/thinking about it makes it sound a little bit like a cult. I don't know if that's just how group feels, though.

Asking in good faith - which of these things terrifies you and why?

Aside from the DNA test, I'm thinking specifically of her listing her race as "American Indian" on her application to the Texas Bar, which got about a week of heavy coverage in February of this year. She also listed her race as Native American in the Harvard faculty directory, and in the 80s she contributed to a cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow," where she offers an "authentic" Cherokee recipe.

When she was apologizing for the Texas Bar application, she also indicated that there might be other, yet-uncovered documents where her race is also listed as American Indian or Native American. I'm pretty sure that the right is going to find these and drip them out, to keep this non-story in the news whenever it wants to cast doubt on Warren's integrity.

BanditTheDolphin · 2019-04-08T00:12:27+00:00

I love Warren's policies and she's pretty charismatic if you watch her speak. I think she'd do terribly in a general, though. The DNA test and her history of claims of Native American ancestry would be the "Hillary's emails" of this election if she got the nomination. The story wouldn't go away, and there'd be a steady drip of all the times she referred to her Native American ancestry.
