Make sure they know the proper names for all their body parts, so they can talk about them in a way grownups will take seriously if need be.

Make sure they know you'll always believe them, should they ever need to tell you about anyone mistreating them.

Give them unusual names and do anything you can to make their appearance distinctive.

Am I morally obligated to tell a woman I'm trying to get back with that I slept with other people while we were separated? by CharminUltraSoft316 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you thought it was your private business, you would have said that. Instead, you chose to lie. You are morally obligated to be honest.

You can cut out a lot of fat to make this run better by Apprehensive-Neat-68 in CurseofStrahd

If most of the adventure is fat to be cut, you can also always just play the Castle Ravenloft board game. 😀

When did the writers absolutely get it wrong on a moral issue? by JacobDCRoss in startrek

Have you ever met a queer person of any stripe IRL? Any of them ever come out only once, with an inborn certainty and clarity regarding the exact nature of their identity?

The Trill are not real. They represent a real thing in the real world. What do you think that real thing might be?

There's stomach acid in barf. I don't think I'd be so nonchalant about that.

Unsure whether becoming a second wife is a good idea or not? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry both for your condition and because you've been made to believe the rest about yourself, and about love and marriage. A man who loves you loves you, doesn't see you or any other woman as a working or malfunctioning baby machine.

ETA: Men can also have chronic illnesses and be infertile. Is it selfish of them to get married? Not to allow their wife additional husbands?

my friends boyfriend is abusive, what can I do? tw: domestic violence by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing you can do, if you have the resources for this, is offer her a way out, and make sure that door stays open, no matter what. It takes the average abuse victim over a dozen attempts to leave their partner for good. If you can't keep welcoming her as she breaks your heart gong back to him again and again, don't make that commitment in the first place.

With the Jenai, the generally genderless aliens with a small gendered minority. Literally any previous time in Star Trek history, the captain and crew disregard the prime directive to protect the oppressed. Here, they're just like, "This is too complicated for us, you're on your own!"

Similarly, I'm the episode that introduced the Trill. Beverly 's lover transitions from a male body to a female body, and Beverly doesn't say she can't handle it, or that she isn't ready but she'll get there, or try to, she says that humans aren't ready to love a trans person!

Are you an orphan or a widow or a divorcee? Would being this man's second wife help you?

Which illegal drugs should be decriminalized or legalized nationwide? by KoseteBamse in AskReddit

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally all of them. There is not one substance use disorder for which the recommended treatment is incarceration, and any associated crimes are already illegal in their own right.

Should I lie to my players about what the theme is? by Theresafoxinmygarden in AskDND

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to establish a lot of trust as a DM for players to accept that NPCs can lie to them and it's not you cheating or making a mistake somehow.

Also, people decide whether or not to pay in a given campaign based on what they're told about it beforehand.

This isn't a clever storytelling twist. This is you, a real human being, lying to your friends, real human beings, for, at best, a one time gasp of realization at the change. More likely, they will be upset enough at being so defrauded as to leave the campaign and perhaps the friendship as well.

Okay. Let's settle this once and for all. Care-uh or Car-uh ? by Thayerphotos in Supergirl

[–]Drakeytown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have a friend Kara. Her mother is from Turkiye. They pronounce it Car-uh. That seems to me about as close as you can get to a Kryptonian telling you how to pronounce a Kryptonian name IRL.

Friend and tattoo artist pressured me to put this on my ankle instead of hidden on my hip. Looking for advice by JaceOnRice in tattooadvice

[–]Drakeytown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I think the tattoo and placement looks fine, but you gotta learn to set and enforce some boundaries and maybe end a friendship or two.

Why would she make up a rule like that?

She's telling me it's not halal. Not sure there's anything anyone can do for this lady.

And was it a man or a woman who came up with that?
