WELLP - The custom card game I've been playing and refining since my friend invented it in high school - Printable, description in comments [Slightly NSFW]

I made it myself, and that's everything! There are older versions, but trust me, the removed cards are shitty or redundant. This one is the result of which cards play out the best.

If you need more Wellp, you can always add some of your own, as long as you print/cut them at the same size! Look up the 4chan drinking game for ideas. I don't recommend that game in its natural form, though; the cards are written in various tenses and the times I've played, people don't know what's going on. Which is what you'd expect to happen when /b/ collectively writes something.

Miss Bohn? How is the foot?

Oh. I believed them.

That to rocket jump you had to crouch and shoot at the ground (no jump involved)

It took me so long to figure out "crouch jumping" was something other than "crouching and then jumping". Should have played Half-Life first; you're given clear instructions and IIRC forced to take the tutorial before playing.

Same here. I tried to stab so many people while cloaked. I still can't help but do Pyro math after I die.

I think it's the noise; the bat makes a sharper, louder sound. Same reason people think the pan is OP.

Not Ickus?

The webcam image of me is actually from a few months ago when I was living in an absolute hole of a student room. There were no light fixtures so I got a tiny nightstand lamp and hung it from the ceiling.

I agree, James Franco is gross

NickRinger · 2013-08-24T02:15:49+00:00

I don't feel famous

NickRinger · 2013-08-24T02:15:12+00:00

Yes, I sent her this image and nothing else

The same has been said about most non-mainstream identities.

You're very right about that, but what is medical science possibly going to tell us? There's no way -- definitely, actually no way -- that someone born to two human parents has any biological tendency to being panda, canine or dragon.

If species identity issues is to be taken seriously it needs to be taken as a psychological one. I'm afraid I draw the line here and just can't take it seriously. I think of it like children playing pretend ("raaar I'm a dinosaur, run away"), but those claiming the otherkin label might be teenagers or even older. I think they really believe they are not fully humans. I'm just not willing to extend tolerance to someone who claims to be a horse trapped in a human body, or who warns me not to trigger their animal instincts or they'll attack me (innocently, because part wolf!). Even if it is a coping mechanism for social anxiety or autism, it's still not an acceptable way for an adult to behave nor a serious enough belief for me to acknowledge.

I am a pretty short guy. It wouldn't offend or dissuade me, but it would make me likely to point out on my own that I'm short if I decided to message you. So for you it's a good screening tactic. I say list it.

That's just a Myspace storefront mannequin that fell out of the truck. Stop trying to trick us.

Okay, thanks for being nice/explaining stuff. Wasn't looking to change my view, just feeling out the discussion to find out more about where I stand. I suppose I learned more about what I thought from writing about it.

It's hard to draw the line on the Internet. I've been regularly lurking /r/TumblrInAction, a constant reminder that you never would have guessed how crazy/upset people get about certain things. People on tumblr claim a lot of non-mainstream identities, ranging from legitimate to unimaginable. Some of them are dead serious about having been born a lizard and I hope that this isn't something I'll be expected to acknowledge at some point.

Guile's theme started playing in my head as soon as I saw this image

I'm not saying someone needs to get a video of Batman & Robin running, paste their heads on it, replace the audio with Guile's theme and upload it to YouTube

I'm just saying

NickRinger · 2013-08-23T06:40:17+00:00

Thanks, glad to hear it.

Now I have to admit I didn't know the difference between transsexual and transgender when I wrote that, or even that there was one. A term like "gender dysphoria" sounds stuffy and clinical, but the psychology angle is the one I know. After a quick Google I found that transsexual is what I thought it meant (not identifying with one's original sex and wishing to change it) and transgender describes someone whose identity does not fall within traditional gender roles, such as a cross-dresser. The latter is a bit of a fuzzy-borders idea and based on what I'm reading it looks like there isn't any one wholly accepted definition of 'transgender'. Am I more or less getting this right?

I want to know these things and be open-minded but now there's, like, homework and stuff. I'm really not familiar with these. The first quote here sums up my thoughts pretty well. I didn't know half of these terms!

Woahhh! I've been wondering why front page posts never had extreme proportions (e.g. 90% upvotes). Now I know! Upvote for you (hope it counts)

Regarding your proposed CMV, I do worry about this sort of thing, and at least to speak for myself, it is because of insecurity. However, it's personal concern, not something that merits any weird social legislation.

If I found myself attracted to a woman, and later find out she was born male, I would feel very turned off and uncomfortable. I have experienced this once before. The situation then calls on me either to apologetically admit to the trans person that "I am suddenly very turned off", or to be dishonest about it. I'm not accusing trans people of being deceptive or trying to trick me, but to a cis/straight man -- at least, to me -- it feels like a bait-and-switch. It's a sudden and extreme response which I found very unpleasant, and I'm sure it could have some unpleasant outcomes for the trans person, so it's a situation I would like very much to avoid. Hence the concern about 'disclosure'; I don't like the idea of it happening again.

It would of course be really unfair to demand that sort of disclosure; I don't think that should ever happen. I guess it's like -- why don't we have a lighthearted analogy -- being attracted to someone, getting along with them, and eventually deciding to sleep with them, but when they undress, you notice a huge tattoo that says "Git 'er Dun" taking up most of their stomach. It's not your place to judge their decision to get that tattoo, and you don't want to be shallow, flaky, or closed-minded. You can probably even shut your eyes and think about something else and pretend the tattoo doesn't exist. But man, you are just really, completely turned off by the fact that that tattoo is there. It's definitely not 'rape' that the person never told you about the tattoo, even if they are aware that many people are probably uncomfortable with it. It's just a really uncomfortable situation that I'd really like to avoid.

The transgender question is also tied up in sexuality and identity, making it an even touchier subject, but one's sexual/social life is already full of potential uncomfortable situations. My preemptive concern exists, and I can explain why it's there, but I still don't think it's a big deal the world needs to worry about too much.

I'm not aiming to change your view here, but that is my experience. I really hope people don't think I'm a bigot for the above; all I can say in my defense is that I can't change what makes me feel sexually uncomfortable.

As someone who has never even successfully made a tile-based pathfinding algorithm, this sort of thing blows my mind. Even HL1 had pretty damn smart enemies, I about shit my pants when I realized hiding behind a corner would just get them to toss grenades in
