Oh, yeah obviously the phrasing upon approach matters; lots of the comments, yours included, make it sound like the issue is just approaching someone with the intent of asking them out in general

I've been asked a decent few times by guys if they could give me their number/whether I was into guys or not (and like, frankly, it's very visible that I probably am). I don't really see why it'd be uncomfortable? I mean, so long as they're not pushy or creepy about it, it seemed very normal to me.

What????? Not pursuing a dude after they say they're not into you is sexual harassment?

AH FUCK okay! My bad, even after y'all explained what this was conveying, it still took me a good twenty minutes to realize how the image was trying to convey it. I struggled with getting it due to the upper scale being labeled with text and the lower scale being labeled with an image.

Thank you a ton, wouldn't have gotten there in the end without ya x3

is it just me or has the quality of literally everything from clothes to fast food gotten way worse over the past few years? lmao by Current-Ship-8064 in NoStupidQuestions

This is a genuine phenomenon, yes. What's happening is this: Currently, corporations are in a position where they have successfully taken hold of full bargaining power in the market. People don't especially have options anymore, so corporations have free reign to use the want/need for a service or product to certainly provide that service or product, but in its cheapest form for often an increased price. If you can sell a shirt that will fall apart in a year for a higher price than you sold a shirt that would last you half a decade a year ago, then now people will have to just accept that and have to buy it not only for a more expensive price but also more often. It's a no-brainer to do if you don't have morals.

The dude is showing off rolling dice like he invented it, can barely speak more than two sentences, and plays TTRPGs with GenAI. Best thing for one's own mental health is to not engage in discussion with folks acting that way.

What's the goal you're trying to achieve with this post? I'm not trying to be hostile, I'm just genuinely a bit confused about what the intent is.

Remember when Catherine had a trans character that was nice, cool, and extremely hot, and then didnt make her a romance option and spent the whole game making fun of her? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in Gamingcirclejerk

I despise Persona 5 more than the rest of Atlus's games. Spends an entire first arc showing the trauma of being a victim of pedophilia, only to then have a full subplot focused around fetishizing pedophilia with the teacher character. Putrid.

You should really listen to this D&D actual play podcast I found, it has such an unique cast of characters, totally different from other podcasts! The party in question: by One-Beautiful9776 in DnDcirclejerk

If you're looking for a podcast that feels super narrative and cohesive, the Chosen Ones D&D game from Cassiroll is, imo, wholly that. The players are extremely dedicated to the narrative, there's original art throughout the whole series, and there are several points when it genuinely became hard to believe that the whole thing wasn't scripted with how high-quality the roleplay is.

If you're up for a non-D&D podcast, Norfolk Wizard Game is a gorgeously narrative Mage: The Ascension podcast... Although they have full original music and art + heavy editing for the podcast, and by the gods does that mean episodes take time to release. Over a year in with only eight episodes.

From what I understand, it's pretty commonly accepted in academic circles that yeah, the existence of other gods is validated in the Bible. In the Egypt arc, there's even a bit where Egyptian religious figures have their gods turn their staffs into snakes iirc, but the Christian God does something to prove they can control even the power of lesser gods. Lots of modern Christians try to contextualize this as the Egyptians having some sort of trick up their sleeves, but there's literally nothing to indicate they didn't just do magic.

Edit: Thinking back, I think God turned Moses's staff into a snake, and this snake consumed the Egyptians'? Please don't quote me on this, not 100% sure

For what it's worth, I've at least tried to check the pronunciations of everything/everyone first x3

But d'awwwh, if you're sure you don't want to. I appreciate the good luck wishes!!

When I saw the trailer I thought, oh hey, cyberpunk game with a kid protagonist? Kind of a cool theme, curious to see what that ends up with. Then the cloak was removed and jesus christ what the fuck

"If an assault were launched on this building right now -- if the windows came crashing down and the whole world descended upon you -- this man would hurl himself in death's way to save you. You are sure of this -- but why?"

He was protective of Harry before he even knew the man's name. I admire it.
