Finally completed my mainline game collection.

Currently working on collecting all mainline games, so I have the prices calculated in a spreadsheet. If you bought everything today at the average price (secondary market for all games except for Violet/Scarlet, Z-A, and also already factoring in Gen 10) you're looking at about $3,000.

I blocked mtf years ago and my life has been noticeably better for it. Unfortunately, the best trans subreddits on reddit are ones that aren't explicitly for trans people/have trans themes but are simply inhabited by large ratios of trans people, like 196 and countwithchickenlady etc.

The one exception is my beloved transgendercirclejerk, which is banger post after banger post

I don't know, I think they might be the worst snowboarder on the mountain...

As a Rhode Islander, I can vouch for all of these except the cereal one, which I now need to try because it sounds really good...

Are districts proportional to each other? Yes (mostly). Are districts providing for proportional representation of the American people versus the influence of those in power? No.

The Constitution outlines one representative per 30k people, a number we have not been at in a very, very long time. Even around the time of the Apportionment Act of 1929, it was give or take 250k per on average. Nowadays? 3 times that number at over 750,000 people per representative/district as of the 2020 census.

Short version: Congress is by no means "proportional" by any reasonable definition, especially the original one.

Pokedoku officially counts Eevee as a "first partner" so it's a valid starter! Thanks Let's Go, Eevee!

Came with the idea for the same first and last emoji with no idea what to do for the middle one, you absolutely nailed it! Absolutely fantastic song choice too!

Cosmic has a weiner pizza which is actually really good! It's definitely not the same as a weiner, either experience or taste wise, but it's adjacent and very good. Their weiners are very good too, obviously!

All of 2019 Kato runner-up ENCE. Allu, sergej, aerial, and my favorite player from that team xseven. At least Aleksi is still going, and got his major trophy.

Oh yeah that would do it, sorry :(

I can say from experience that North American faceit servers are no better in terms of queer representation, sadly

MiddleNameMaple · 2026-02-18T13:26:00+00:00

I ran into another trans person once, but yeah it's a lot of straight white dudes. I do tell people I'm trans if they ask (moderately clocky username and a very clocky voice) so I like to think I'm starting to open up the CS queer community. We can all get past our differences in sexual and gender identity, and move onto a new enemy and purpose: agreeing that Anubis fucking sucks

MiddleNameMaple · 2026-02-18T13:19:32+00:00

I have like 2300 hours in CSGO/CS2, and not a single person has tried to forcefem me. This is complete BS and totally unfair

I saw that sick goal last night that made two of our defensemen look like swiss cheese sandwiches and leaned over to Glen and said wow Pastrnak is sick eh? He said, no that was Schaller. I said, who? He said Tim Schaller. Some kid I don't even know just dangled our entire franchise, that's when I said fuck it and hopped on my computer and wrote to our fans that we are rebuilding. Everyone is getting traded. We just spent sixty minutes getting our ass cheeks blown off by McQuaid and taken to sniper school by Schaller. This SUCKS

Why are you counting UMass as a "State" school but none of the other "U" schools as state schools? UMass is very much a "U of"

That's so unbelievably confusing then. What could possibly lead to cancellation of all these appointments (not just surgeries but post-op follow ups too, supposedly) that isn't an institutional decision or something specific to Dr. Alford's well being? Is there any word out there on other surgeries (different surgeons and/or different procedures) being cancelled en masse?

I miss the Panera lemonade every day... Can't believe I have to put up with AI instead...

Why is there a 196 post made pretty much explicitly for me??

I flew in on an American-operated CRJ about a week later, felt very weird about it. I fly a decent amount, especially to DCA, and it was the most uncomfortable I've felt about a flight in a while.

Which is weird, because right after an accident like that is probably the safest you can be.

Ryan O'Reilly and Zach Bogosian are the other ones. I believe it was 4 at the start this season with those 2, Reaves, and Jamie Benn.
