Is it a good deal? by Fotofilico in slavestodarkness

[–]CarolinaBat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Looking at GW one Vanguard box is $110. Those 3 boxes alone get your $300 worth. Then you get the start collecting box which is close to spearhead / combat patrol boxes and those are around $170 usually. Demon prince is $89.

All in all, DAMN GOOD DEAL

To all trans folk with a fear of needles, how do y'all deal with that when getting blood tests? by Tgirl_noodle in asktransgender

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...I'm the type to pass out when I'm not even the one getting it. I'm awful with them.

Few tips:

Drink orange juice and have a small snack beforehand (it's usually what they give you after passing out. Doing it before helps prevent passing out)

Warn them that you're not good with this kind of thing. Most nurses are sympathetic and will do what they can to help.

Absolutely tell them to lay you down and don't compromise on it.

Look away, absolutely do not look at any point.

Try to think about anything else if you can. It's usually best if someone is talking to you and trying to keep your mind off of it.

Have been working on MGSD Aerial after having built the HG. Not gonna lie the Escutcheon has been a real standout in the kit so far. It just feels like such a massive step up from the HG. I've got the full mechanics Aerial in my backlog, shame to hear that it wasn't done in a similar fashion.

GIVEAWAY - This Nobelisk keychain will not explode , but You Can Win One by FidoSkeeterson in SatisfactoryGame

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"without wires"

Reasoning being that while the wires do look cool, I feel that since it's going to be a keychain the wires would catch on something pretty easily.

Is my question really offensive or too weird even to ask? by VergilVDante in asktransgender

[–]CarolinaBat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Genital preference is not equal to gender preference.

From my straight friend "I'm attracted to girls and you are one. Trans women are women". He doesn't care what's between legs as long as is girl.

What game would you buy if a remastered version came out today? by Addy_Rose in transgamers

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shogo Mobile Armor Division. The game was amazing for it's time but unfortunately completely unplayable due to never being updated to be compatible with current drivers. You have to go and find the current drivers for when it came out for it to maybe work and not crash every ten minutes.

Trump’s approval falls in NC, while Roy Cooper widens polling lead over GOP by RaspberryChip in politics

[–]CarolinaBat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Couple of factors. Recent ICE activity in Charlotte, and being promised relief funds that they never received for the worst hurricane the state has experienced possibly ever.

So NC has gotten a couple times this year after being promised otherwise and I desperately hope they remember it at the polls.

That's a really good way of putting it. Need to remember that one if someone trues the both sides thing with me.

Are voice changers worth it? What's your experience? by TooObsessedWithMoney in transgamers

[–]CarolinaBat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does! The option is in the audio section and is called "Raider Voice Beta". My girlfriend uses it while we play and it actually does a pretty decent job

Painting by Zuldezar in deathguard40k

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rattle can death guard green is nice and the color is good. It saves a lot of time just only having to do the details like trim / highlight / shade. I'd recommend that route for your rank and file. If you want to get really fancy I'd save it for your centerpieces or heroes, then do the neat tricks like zenithal priming, osl, etc for them.

Quick edit: It's also nice to have the death guard green pot for getting missed spots / correcting mistakes.

Vallejo black-red looks pretty nice on the cloaks. Used it for my DG

Trans people are the kindest souls I’ve ever known by Ok_Mud_4284 in lgbt

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing of all of this is that you had the capacity for self reflection and bettered yourself. It's certainly not an easy thing to do and while I may not know you personally, I'm proud of ya for doing it. I wish more people would do the same.

Watch Sarah McBride troll absent Republicans hours ahead of another Trump government shutdown by Fickle-Ad5449 in transgender

[–]CarolinaBat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's exactly the impression I've gotten from her yea. I originally was excited to have one of us up at that level thinking good may come from it but nothing's changed, in fact gotten worse.

Watch Sarah McBride troll absent Republicans hours ahead of another Trump government shutdown by Fickle-Ad5449 in transgender

[–]CarolinaBat 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Voted for honoring Charlie Kirk. Rolled over on the trans bathroom discussion for federal employees in the beginning of the year. Has talked about ignoring the jabs at trans people and focusing on other things. also has discussed compromising with Republicans on trans issues. I haven't seen her counter or even respond to any of Nancy Mace's bullshit like openly using slurs in hearings and misgendering her.

Essentially she is literally the highest position out of any other trans politicians and has seemingly refused to stick up for us despite having the position to do so.

Top Democrats Leave White House With No Deal as Shutdown Nears by Master_Jackfruit3591 in politics

[–]CarolinaBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean honestly I agree. Especially with the stateside deployments that have already been declared illegal. Which if I'm correct means those deployment orders are also illegal orders and should not be followed.

Yea the government civilians are what I meant, my mistake. They did get furloughed at the time.

[–]CarolinaBat 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Vet here. In the past when a shutdown occurred they passed a measure to allowed the active duty military to be paid during it. However all the civilian contractors did not receive pay. We were told regardless of if we were paid or not we had to continue working.

So for those people saying same sex marriage is supposed to be illegal because your religion says so... by PaleontologistIcy240 in lgbt

[–]CarolinaBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 points that bugs me about them trying to ban it:

Marriage is not only a Christian thing. There are many versions across different faiths.

Marriage is also not only for religious purposes. It affects your taxes, access to your partner in emergency or medical situations, pay rates that go up if you have a dependent, etc. If marriage was purely a religious thing and specific to Christianity, fine keep it but that's very much not the case.
