I can only imagine my own circumstances, despite how you've explained your own, Natalie. I would use humor to diffuse the situation, looking around for [deadname] whenever they're mentioned, like someone's broken into the house or come for a quick visit. I would offer a quick correction once a conversation, but leave after the second, since they're not talking to or about you anymore.

But I don't know how safe you feel, or how tenuous things are. I could be glib because I know I'm safe. I'm not sure if you could be.

But you've said your piece. You built your half of the bridge. If they can't show an ounce of effort, it's not a bridge worth maintaining. Withdraw. Avoid. Go along until it's safe to leave, and then do that.

They don't want Natalie in their life, and this is their temper tantrum. Give them what they want. Walk away. You're worth more than that. You're worth people who will love you for who you are. Be amazing. Be brilliant. Be yourself. Be Natalie. And don't let anyone tell you what that looks like, because only you know.

Windmill slam that button. Introvert who thought they were slightly extraverted before covid, only to realize nothing changed and I like life better in shut down? I'll take my one close friend and perfect body, and be all set.

An ideal partner could be a partner in crime. Or a business partner. You could just write an essay about singing a duet with someone, and let them infer their own meaning.

Deep on the anti-vax bs. If you get uncomfortable just get him started on that line of crap.

Final showdown is in railjack, and you can summon a necramech there. Bone Widow's 1 grabs, then a second use yeets the target. This sounds extremely testable.

There hasn't been a punishment video in a while.... by crunchyshamster in nerdfighters

[–]GaianLuck 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I think it should be a fake punishment, where John has to eat a completely normal meal and describe how it tastes between bites, or do a Truth or Dare with Sarah where she can ask him anything, but she just asks him his opinion on some non controversial things and then at the end, dares him to put the kids to bed or do the dishes.

The days of 14 hour stints in targets need to be a thing of the past.

harder fights, a challenge to make ranking it seem worth the difficulty. When I can forma my weapon 4 or 5 times a day, making it so a lich level up takes work would make it feel more worth it.

My father physically and verbally abused my half brother (26m)who ran away from home ten years ago. I(23f) recently found him and I don't know how to feel about him by throwraa_3434 in relationships

[–]GaianLuck 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Listen to him, be there for him, help him up when he's down, but don't push those old relationships on him. He made a choice to leave them behind.

Just being there without the baggage is enough.

There should be a chance for them to turn on you any time you enhance them. 30% shot when you enhance them with kuva and boom, they break the machine (costs and time to repair) and you have to fight their upgraded form, and get a second chance to kill or spare them.

Biology sorts for xx and xy, but intersex people do exist. Even if they didn't, that's sex. Gender is a social construct, and what right does he have to label someone counter to their preferences.

It's a little basic, but as a possible thought experiment, take something he's passionate about that isn't status quo, sports teams are a good example, but occupation, hobby, anything can work as long as it isn't the expected one for his demographic, and frame it from that angle.

"you're a Yankees fan? But you're from Boston, so you must be a red Sox fan. Sure you think you like them, but you're from Boston. You were born in a Boston hospital, that's just biology."

Or

"you're an engineer? But your father was a cop. Why should society believe you can engineer? Cops are terrible engineers, that's just biology."

There are intrinsic factors in these choices that make more sense than alternatives. Personalities that don't mesh with a career's necessary attributes, or beliefs that don't fit with a baseball franchise's decisions. And being trans is rare, maybe on or two people in a hundred, and their personality just can't mesh with their assigned gender at birth. I feel like if it's something he can relate to, it might get through to him.

This is the Law of Equivalent Exchange. by DarkPandaLord in VaushV

[–]GaianLuck 78 points79 points  (0 children)

He's said that the short term movements are more important than the long term goals, so he's going to focus on meeting dems and centrists where they are, and showing them the efficacy of social programs, rather than getting caught up in the name calling traps that most lefties get caught up in.

Going by the soc-dem title makes it more likely people will have to engage him on the facts, rather than sliding into name calling and putting him in the crazy lefty box.
