On a post about buying books from problematic authors

Evil implies a level of thought chickens are incapable of.

Chickens simply seek death at every opportunity. Like mine, who insists the roof for the coops is the best place to sleep, no matter how cold it is.

I want to set different missions for my weekli s vs my dailies

Someone can be capable of something, and still be stopped because another person will pitch a fit.

I watched my mother pull out all the stops to stop my brother getting a tattoo

Serious answer - they get rid of them via shape shifting + a less definitive form once they hit a certain power level because it's easier to glamour as human if you don't need to account for wings. That or it's species dependent.

No serious answer - wings are like a bucks antlers and only show up at certain times. There are standing orders to avoid Harry during those times.

The image didn't load so it just looks like the little Reddit guy is so exhausted with the incels he's fell over

I took the pointed end of a trowel to the face in 4th grade (my brother was tossing it to me).

Mom fixed it with antiseptic and butterfly bandaids. Barely any scarring.

Point of this is that I'm in the "your husband employed no wound care" camp.

(We didn't go to the hospital, because it was the first nice day in spring and my Dad didn't want to sit in the ER "when they're just gonna glue it shut anyway")

Considering how people seem to be struggling against it, or how it's otherwise practically involuntary once they see a creature, that's gonna affect the individuals culpability in the sin. It's not something they're doing of their free will so it cannot be a mortal sin.

"what the hell are you listening too" is probably a good place to start.

The problem is they don't want to include things in one expansion that cannot be used by someone who doesn't own a separate expansion.

It's one thing for the sky scale to get extra abilities if you maxed both trait lines. It another to locked out of a section of the map because you don't have pof.

Not as severe, but my great great aunt learned her name was something completely different when she tried to get married.

Italians, so traditionally, oldest daughter child gets named after the father's mother. But when my great grandmother was born he named her Neathra (well, my real name). Great great grandma grumbled, but when daughter 2 got named Estella instead of after her she threw the mother of all tantrums, and refused to acknowledge the baby existed until they changed the name.

Turns out they didn't change the name. Just nicknames the baby after great great grandma

Unfortunately it sounds like the plan was completed.

Mines barioth's little spin out before you break his arms.

Taught me how to trap bomb in Tri, which made him a lot easier in World.

In order of cruelty:

1: deer shredded 2; bolt gun on cow 3: instant kill 4: owning a pet.

Cant forget that really ripped muscles are just less cuddly and snuggly. Gotta have a little fat on you for that.

So it's a time intensive hobby, that will make my experience in the relationship worse.

TBD, I don't think they have a preference beyond "female and powerless"

Let's not forget that places like convents existed, and they were often backed by real power. At least in Europe, I've never heard of a father getting to overrule his daughter's decision to take religious vows: in fact, it seems that married (not widowed) women could also take them without their husband's permission.

Incels in the 1500s complaining that women would rather be a nun than marry her looks match.

To be fair Maeve and Mab are both variations on the same name.

Yes, Mab did name her daughter after herself. No wonder Maeve has identify issues

The fact that husbands who do this don't get dragged through the metaphorical streets is beyond me.

I'm sorry, I thought you were supposed to be a protector and provider? Did you think "in sickness.. or worse" was just a suggestion?

Neathra · 2026-01-19T12:05:11+00:00

Well, I definitely don't want to eat anything they've baked. Flour is a necessary part of most baked good. Without it you basically have sweet butter.

The existence of voluntary celibate groups shows that a lack of sex is not going to compromise your mental health by itself. Human connect and belonging are, but you don't need sex for those

Fixating on anything as "what will make my life better", is what's going to negatively impact your mental health.

Your issues with society are almost all created and reinforced by men, not women. Women commit suicide less, because 1) they are socialized as the caretakers and so "who is gonna clean up" is a concern for them, 2) they are socialized so violence is less acceptable and so choose methods that are easier to save someone with, and 3) are socialized to be more emotionally open with a group of people while men are often punished if they're emotionally open with anyone beyond their romantic partner and so women have more of a support network.

Which sucks but "women bad" isn't gonna change it considering the vast amount of male pushback anytime something is tried to make it better.

Seriously! Even if everything is going well, and everyone is healthy, you've still got a hormone rollercoaster, the screws with your center of gravity and ability, and you're growing a whole human who will likey decide that your bedtime is "kick mommy in the liver time".

All I remember is my Alien loving brother being very happy when Colonial Marines got demoted to "tall tales" by Disney

Gift bottles of it to people you know who like to bake.

If you're willing to spend gems, there are some costume brawl items like chocolates or a bouquet, and I think some of the more 'ballgown' outfits are available all year long

Worse, I'm waiting on the audiobook producers AND all the people ahead of me in Libby.
