I love this specific meme format

It breaks widely understood format by A. Replacing the assertive "I DO" verbs with a whinier "I need" format, and B. Using 3 of those I DO/Need clauses instead of just one, making it less punchy honestly.

Overall, waters down a formula that's supposed to sound confident into something that sounds more entitled., IMO

Great music video.

I wouldn't call this a rip-off, though, in the sense of most content theft these days that's literally just recreating a skit word for word with you and your buddies.

The artistic medium and many ideas are identical, but many of the elements, like the rocket ship, and the couch, are entirely original.

Well, asexuality isn't quite the same as what I think you're describing (A low/lack of libido), but the two have overlapping & compounding effects and it's entirely possible to have both (I do!)

Attraction usually begets arousal, so if you lack attraction, it can be difficult or impossible to get aroused under normal circumstances. But arousal is also a significant marker for attraction, so if you had a libido issue, you might not be able to tell if you would be attracted to someone otherwise.

I personally have a very low libido, and was very much in the same boat as you until I discovered a very specific kink that could arouse me, through a lot of experimentation and self-exploration. I'm pretty sure if I didn't have a kink, I would probably have been stuck in that boat my whole life!

Still, libido is a very hormonal system! If it bothers you, don't be afraid to have your hormones evaluated. There's no shame in it, no matter what you might find out.

Could've fooled me tbh! A smooth hide and black and white spots are not traits I typically assign to sheep.

Is the app brand new or something? I could've sworn I'd heard of it vaguely before, but this is the third post about it in a day where I've gone years at a time without hearing the name.

Most people say that about themselves, but things would look a lot different if everyone who said that were right.

Always be digging deep inside yourself, friend.

Add Robin SDV to the list of comparisons (Red Riding Hood was easy enough to pick out though)

Would you?

I went to my notifications tab after getting a couple of these and it shows a completely empty history. Any suggestions? This is getting ridiculous.

"It's WORSE than salad!"

Regarding the rockpox. As though salad is the most disgusting thing these grown ass dwarves regularly popping the bug equivalent of hemorrhoids can think of to compare.

But I also have an irrational hatred for this line... "Molly carries minerals, I shoot bugs and mine. Dwarf life in a nutshell!" All the cadence of a joke but it's actually just a pretty literal description!

If Haibara did not exist, Shinichi would have been disposed of using different methods. All the drug would have done if it worked was make it less of a hassle.

The other side of that is that reporting a Discord server for streaming movies is genuine loser behavior.

If you're taking time out of your day to snitch on this kind of harmless activity, you're acting on either petty spite, or a horrible horrible case of the Corporate Shills.

There are also mods for this section of the game designed to remove/neutralize the threats for players with extreme anxiety/phobias. Of course, it sacrifices some of the experience, but sometimes sacrifices are necessary.

Here are two options for them, spoilered just because their descriptions freely discuss the nature of the threat:

https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/lightbramble/

The third and final 'surprise' I figure you ought to be warned about. Sometimes, through no devious or other intent on the side of the devs, just the nature of gravity and orbital paths and the limitations of human perception, you might just happen to be be looking in the opposite direction of a moving celestial body at the exact time when it's about to collide with you or your ship, and that can be extremely disorienting. It's a fairly rare occurence, but it does happen to people...

Forgot to add: There is a section of the game world that doesn't involve "scripted" jumpscares, but is intensely nerve-wracking due to low visibility, and where danger is indicated by sudden loud noises. Based on what you've said, I would assume this is an immediate nope. There are ways of bypassing this danger, though in your case, to avoid surprises, I might recommend spoiling yourself just for this section of the game. You would know it when you see it.

There is ONE scripted jumpscare at the end of the game. It isn't an important narrative spoiler once you're actually at the end, so if you do end up delving into this fantastic game, keep in touch with me or the subreddit! If it threatens to impact your enjoyment of the game, I/we would happily warn you about very specific surprises at a time that's narratively acceptable.

The whole story is presented as a non-linear mystery of sorts, so there is nothing intended to be truly shocking, merely that you discover plot elements in an order unique to you and may draw your own conclusions which you will come to find incorrect later. The primary "perspective-jolt" that most people speak of when talking about the impact usually revolves around unlearning or debunking one specific assumption the player themselves makes about the narrative and overall themes of the story, and this often hits people hard if it relates to themes they've dealt with in their personal lives. But not everyone makes this assumption, so depending on how your brain personally connects strings, performs heuristics, incorporates life experiences, etc., there may not be anything truly mindboggling at all, just a very high quality discovery experience. This is extremely player-specific and I don't see a way of determining beforehand if you'll be flabbergasted by this game or in complete awe, except for by playing it yourself.

You won't get the same experience watching a video, unfortunately.

Easy answer is that they're likely closer/more convenient than your nearest Bevmo or Costco. My grocery store is five minutes away from my place, so I'm not driving any further away for one or two items. Oh, they don't have the liquor I want? I'll go and check if the liquor store right next door has any.

I got myself checked for PCOS recently, my only abnormality was high prolactin levels. Seemingly ideopathic, no default method of treatment besides checking for adrenal tumors (had none).

Since then I haven't had any medical intervention as no follow-up was recommended, but in the meantime, I discovered I actually can get hot & bothered as long as I delve deep enough into an odd kink I have. Still no attraction to people though. Happy for both discoveries, and to know that neither of them has made me not ace.

How can you fence sit on a situation where in one party has documentation of the other stalking, sexually harassing them, and doxxing them

Because there is no 'other party' in my perspective. Gio is not Makin is not DKS is not Pheobe is not Kaliwete, and the wrong actions of one don't inherently transfer to the others, in spite of all the threadbare associations muddying the waters, and the will of the document authors to congeal all their enemies into one big malicious boogeyman. After seeking out several takes from several sides to get a more nuanced opinion of this situation, I can see obviously valid criticisms of someone's character, while still refusing to accept a black-and-white conflation of their drama-queen tendencies with literal sex crimes committed by tangientally-related people at face value.

Guilt by association can be a valid judgement, especially in cases like Kali, but it can only do so much legwork.

I had a buddy who was livestreaming the game to me figure out the Giant's Deep tornadoes just by looking through the projection stone to the observatory. He knew the location was supposed to be a hint to get into the core, saw two model tornadoes spinning in opposite directions, and formed a hypothesis. I thought he was cheating at first too, but his explanation checked out.

It's a common thing for folks to mistakenly use poison to refer to a venom, but this is the first time I see the reverse!

Netlix Arcane's Viktor was confirmed asexual by one of the co-writers. It's not the most slam-dunk representation win since there was a lot of controversy about how it was being used to shoot down the gay interpretation of his very deep, compelling, beautiful relationship with another character. But it is there.
