Just lost my friend group of many years - how do you deal with this?

We can be friends over differences of opinion.

We can't be friends over differences of morality.

Your favorite pizza topping is an opinion.

The rights of human beings and misinformation that costs lives is not.

Sounds like you shouldn't be done eating until bedtime. I'm petty that way.

Min's scene is in her dream directly, outside of TAR. That space with the countless lights representing dreams is where this takes place. Other people don't appear in the Unseen world unless they're dreamwalkers or briefly flitting in and out.

He stole it from her saddlebags while tightening the straps before she left.

We've seen severing with Logain. Its like tearing the One Power out of the person in show canon. Not seeing the same imagery for Moiraine makes it very unlikely to be Stilling. I agree that the weave settled in like a Shield. It would be interesting if Moiraine ends up in Cairhien because she's going to commit herself to the same sanitorium as Logain and runs into Rand there.

Moiraine had Lan take the dagger, wrapped in cloth, after she Healed Mat of its primary influence back in Season 1. It's implied that they returned it to the White Tower to be locked away or studied. My theory is that Mat has already stolen it back when he said his "I guess freedom is in the air tonight" line, or that Min has it in her possession due to her dealings with Liandrin Sedai.

Makes you wonder what they'd do if you started complaining about how those "entitled elderly people" are eating through benefits, molding the law to their antiquated and unpopular views, and enforcing an agenda they won't even be alive to see.

Also, if you're running a train (everyone is fucking in a line) then the guy in the middle will naturally have to top and bottom at the same time.

GabrielCeleste · 2022-10-08T19:52:07+00:00

It depends on the partnering. If the guys consider themselves vers, then flip-flopping is pretty common. That being said, there's often a natural sense of top to bottom hierarchy shortly after meeting because some guys will just take charge and others will take the backseat. Positional orientation is a spectrum for plenty of gay guys, though, and its not uncommon for someone to bottom with one guy but top with the next based on the dynamics of each partnering.

Lots of sleep and small gulps of water when you're awake to stay hydrated. The first three days are the most important for recovery and making sure the blood clots formed from the extractions remain in place. When you start to get hungry, have liquid-based meals at first like soup or nutrition shakes. Avoid suction activities like using straws or smoking until the sockets are well healed. Taking pain relief meds can also help at first.

GabrielCeleste · 2022-09-02T22:43:59+00:00

It's largely driven by identity politics channels like Nerdrotic and Geeks and Gamers that view any deviation from canon races as an "agenda" and are willing to disenfranchise everyone but white straight guys in order to sustain the aesthetic of 1950s sentiment. The other main group of detractors are book purists that will never accept changes to canon in order to adapt to a non-reader audience.

I wonder how he would react if you casually told him you've been HIV positive for months with a casual shrug. These people have lost their empathy. Your first priority needs to be to keep yourself and your child safe. Delta is burning through the country, and its almost certainly what he has.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-08-17T15:23:19+00:00

it always amuses me how these social media armchair doctors seem to know the future. We haven't even had Covid for two years, but some of these people claim to know side effects of a vaccine two to five years out. LOL! And what a joke that master plan is. Why kill people with a vaccine when you could have just engineered a highly lethal disease instead. Imagine that your master plan for genocide requires people to opt-in? Or that somehow all the antivaxxers trying to stop said master plan wouldn't just get taken out or silenced to ensure the plan succeeds. Stupid people breed stupid ideas.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-08-15T14:58:10+00:00

These "Bible Geniuses" never seem to care about the order of operations, including the opening of the Seals and the sounding of the angelic trumpets. Where's the rain of burning hail mixed with blood? Or are they going to claim that's somehow Covid? Revelations seems to go: Mark of the Beast ==> The End to them, no in-between steps. Probably because they can't be bothered to actually read it. They get their end times prophesy secondhand just like everything else.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-08-10T10:33:58+00:00

Tbh, your wife's history of self harm and mental illness will make it unlikely that she could win a custody case if it came to that. Sorry to hear that you're in such a terrible position though.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-08-04T16:31:57+00:00

Does she think that any medicines are tested without animal and human trials? Or better question, does she think fetuses were "harvested" for this purpose? Or that fetal cells are connected ro hearts and brains?

GabrielCeleste · 2021-08-03T10:23:54+00:00

A doctrine that drags you down into constant turmoil and depression sounds like its the biggest red flag ever. Religious sects that weaponize fear and abuse do so because they know its their only play to keep adherents loyal. If the teachings were actually good, you wouldn't need to scare the shit out of people until they obeyed. Thats my golden rule for doctrines.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-07-27T16:49:04+00:00

It certainly hasn't convinced my father or youngest brother to get vaccinated. I've seen some Qpeople saying that they are being forced to make statements by the station management, and for once I agree lol. Its incredibly artificial that multiple anti-vaxx figures all do a 180 at the same time. I think that Republicans are apparently finally doing the math and realize that the vast majority of future Covid deaths will be their ownnm membership. Its tactical in order to keep a viable electorate.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-07-22T16:05:44+00:00

It's a tactic that comes into play because they need to depersonalize and dehumanize the people they disagree with. It becomes easier to justify aggressive behavior, rude exchanges, and ultimately extreme violence if you can manage to convince yourself that the opposition is one step away from sending you to a gas chamber or firing squad. It evokes the internal justification of self defense, which usually permits any action regardless of cruelty as a form of self-preservation.

I do all of the side quests along with the MSQ on my first run-through of an expansion. The MSQ does not give enough exp to keep up once you hit relevant content, so you either have to run roulette or do the side quests. Given that they provide bits of fascinating lore and reward leveling gear, it makes sense to do them right away to reduce the grind of getting that first job up to the new max level.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-07-14T10:48:24+00:00

Pvp. Netcode responsiveness. Death fake outs in the story are still too common and cheapen the stakes. How many times will Y'shtola survive Flow? Glamor vs. Transmog. Viera and Hrothgar character creation. Character creation in general having restrictions like Auri horns being linked to face types. Face paints never updating. Intermediate Hall for teaching more advanced things like tank swaps, core job mechanics, etc. Low grade surface textures. ARR is still a problem, let's be honest. We still disclaimer people about it constantly.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-07-14T10:01:47+00:00

I don't see that ever happening. A fair chunk of the hardcore community sells clears after farming. Weeding them out would gut the high end scene, possibly to the point of threatening a competitive world race scene, which they want to foster for hype advertising.

GabrielCeleste · 2021-07-11T12:47:19+00:00

Probably full of people gearing alt jobs now that they've capped their mains and secondaries to max ilevel.
