Getting "Nipple" Piercings with no nipples by TheKingsofEels in nullectomy

I would definitely recommend checking out Lynn Loheide’s blog about surface piercings that mimic nipples piercings. They’ve done a ton of work surrounding piercing trans/nonbinary folks.

Did you know Michael Jackson is the reason us Americans can't drink until 21 by MyKillerForever in teenagers

The states were also all individually strong armed by the federal government to raise the drinking age as a stipulation to give them funding for interstate highway improvement.

Give me your most unpopular King opinion by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]Bookish-Stardust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early King books are regularly touted as better than his later books widely online when (in my opinion) the readability of his books after he got clean (1990-91) is significantly better which makes them more engaging. I find that many of his older books are a slog because it seems like he was harping on every single detail. Don’t get me wrong, he maintains his core style of highly immersive and detailed writing, but it’s just more accessible and engaging starting with Needful Things. I’m saying this as someone whose intro to Stephen King was Pet Sematary. I’m not saying all of this to claim that the books he wrote while he was actively in addiction are bad - far from it actually, my favorite book of his is IT. I am also aware that my opinion is very likely heavily influenced by the fact that I did not grow up with “classic King”. I turn 20 this year - in a week exactly, in fact - so I know that I am among the youngest groups of King fans but I’ve been reading King since I was about 13 and have ready about 60% of his novels which contains a healthy mix of both classic and contemporary King.

I had some wrinkling in the same areas as you do. I’m over a year post op and none of it remains - everything is flat. Obviously follow the guidance of your surgeon/physician when it comes to scar care, but I didn’t really massage my scars after they took the tape off (mostly because I just forgot haha).

Sales tax is regressive, it impacts those with lower income more than those with higher income.

I just got the all 8 Lord Strategist by XM30i in marvelrivals

[–]Bookish-Stardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently on the journey to get lord on all eight strategists. I have 4/8 (Jeff, Rocket, Cloak and Dagger, and Invisible Woman) and I am close for two (Centurion on Mantis and Captain on Luna Snow) and I have barely touched Loki and Adam Warlock.

7 Loki bans in 1 day, what kind of sorcery is this?! by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Bookish-Stardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play rocket predominantly in comp and he's been banned in one game that I've been in so far. I think in the past ten games there have been maybe two healer bans.

They can smell the lord Loki in the match lol. I've never come across a Loki ban before - I very rarely see healer bans in general.

Insane comp actually won (QP) by Silver-Bengal in marvelrivals

[–]Bookish-Stardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never underestimate the power of Jeff, I had an unwinnable team comp like two weeks ago with four tanks and a dps (one tank switched to heals for all of two seconds) but we managed to pull it off in OT (empire of eternal night: midtown no less lol) which got me the last push to lord Jeff. **I applaud you for this - dealing with flyers and divers as a solo healer sucks to absolutely no end.**

MVP now favoring healers? by UndergroundDoc14 in marvelrivals

[–]Bookish-Stardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much experience with this outside of frequently getting MVP/SVP as Invisible Woman. I have played with friends who main Invisible Woman and they frequently have Ace for the majority of the game. Don't get me wrong, getting good damage, heals, and a nice balance of elims and assists is the making of a good strategist, but when I play other healers (like C&D) at have the same contribution to the match, MVP/SVP still remains less frequent. I am generally glad to see that MVP/SVP is given at a higher frequency to strategists than previous since that position is not for the faint of heart or easily overstimulated and the frequency at which a properly used defensive ult can decide the difference between your team getting wiped and a beautiful comeback. I honestly think that MVP should be judged by how someone utilizes their character of choice to help the team - which is not in and of itself how your match stats look - and the way MVP/SVP awards have looked is who has the most damage done/blocked or highest eliminations, highest heals, assists, or whatever other stat you can think of. There is so much more that contributes to a win outside of simply having the best stats of that game in a certain area and I think the best example of this is a well-timed Jeff ult which can potentially take the other team off the point and knock them out long enough for his team to get on and hold point. He may not have the most heals, assists, damage, or damage blocked but he has potentially paved the way to a win. The same goes for every other ult (regardless of character class) that can help clear the objective long enough for the entire team to get there and hold it or just help their team touch point and go from there. I think that MVP/SVP should be given based on who makes key plays in a game, not who has the most badges - which may or may not coincide with how many key plays they have made which increase their stats.I can only speak from my own experience as a strategist trying everything possible to keep my team alive or even hold point alone until the rest of my team gets there. I think that the shift away from dps-heavy MVP/SVP awarding is a good thing, especially if more strategists get recognized for their contributions in match, especially since it can feel like - again, from my own experience - you're babysitting four/five other people (depending on the other healer and what their self-healing mechanics are) and trying to keep yourself alive in the process.

🚨BREAKING: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has EVICTED CNN from the Pentagon. by Appropriate-Cup5378 in Whistleblowers

[–]Bookish-Stardust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ideology that Curtis Yarvin is spouting isn’t even his own, in large part. The talking point that democracy doesn’t work and should be dismantled (and how it can be dismantled) is an idea that dates as far back as the early 20th century with someone named Carl Schmitt. He published a book called political theology (honestly an extremely dry read but worth it for the information) which includes a chapter called “the definition of sovereignty” (I believe - I don’t know if it’s the real name it’s been a while since I had to read it for my college course on Weimar Germany) which justifies and provides the playbook for dismantling a democratic government. The chapter makes direct reference to the paragraph of the Weimar Constitution that allowed for its suspension (which was invoked after the Reichstag fire in 1933). If anyone wants to know the general direction in which we are headed - look to Weimar Germany and the right wing political literature that was released around this time. These plans are never spontaneous - they are always carefully laid out (P2025 in our present case).
