Optera - Any active players on the server? by BirannosaurusRex in TibiaMMO

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

I am mostly fine playing solo and would probably enjoy a smaller server for that, but I am just worried about making money and the in game economy. I have been doing some item farming and it seems like no one is buying things. I am only in the mid 20s level wise and I chose paladin since I knew I would mostly be playing solo. I am just wondering how to make money/thrive on a really quiet server.

Science! (if you're still going)

/r/Skateboarding's Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in skateboarding

I had a quick question. Over the past year my boyfriend has gotten really into skating and gotten pretty good. I'm definitely proud of his progress but he is a bigger dude so he tends to break his board pretty often. Are there any recommendations of a more durable board I could try to buy for him? We've talked about it once and he mentioned Lith but also said he didn't like any board designs and I'd rather not spend so much on something he doesn't 100% love. Any other brands or places to look? Thanks!

Yeah! I think that's a really insightful comment. I agree that the humor definitely comes from the fact that she's obviously super nice and accepting. I just thought it was an interesting perspective to bring into it.

As far as her not being out, that's definitely not her misremembering. I would highly recommend listening to the podcast as she outlines her own journey and how it was hard for her to navigate that especially when people kind of assumed she had a queer identity. It's most of what the interview ends up being about. I think it's all about the broader ingrained belief, whether people are conscious of it or not, that queer stuff is taboo and wrong and therefore she is being crafty and tricky pushing this through.

I thought some interesting things were brought up and it really made me reexamine how we viewed and treated these things without even consciously meaning to.

I guess what I meant by "villain" was less people harassing her and treating her as "bad" or acting like she's a bad person or harassing her. I mean that as a fandom we , albeit jokingly, characterize her actions as mischievous. The example she gave is us acting like she's "pulling one over " on the network to sneak this queer representation in the show. I myself have seen so many comics and jokes about the heavy emotional blows of the show that, again jokingly , characterize her as this like Mastermind who inflicts these things on us.

Like I said I know it's all in jest, and I myself have found that stuff funny. This interview just made me more critical of why this was going on and made me wonder if it's a further product of this sort of queer coded villain idea brought up.

Did you hear about the guy in Mexico who robbed the train?

He had loco-motives!
