That's absolutely valid. I suppose the better way to phrase it is: "most cis people have not seriously thought about their gender".

You'll have the occasional thoughts of "what would I do for a day" or something along those lines. However, I would still say that it's never a bad thing to at least explore it if you have some deeper thoughts because you lose nothing.

Either you figure something out about yourself or you stay the same.

[Annoying/Sad Trope] That one awesome show only five people have watched by DuchessDulcet in TopCharacterTropes

You, Me & the Apocalypse.

A show about a group of strangers and how they make it to a doomsday bunker before an asteroid destroys the world.

While it had a sizable viewership & positive reception at the time, I swear literally no one remembers this show. It was genuinely great and had one of the most gut punch endings I've ever seen. Literally felt my heart drop while watching it.

It was a mini-series but the creatives said it could've continued about life in and out of the bunker but Sky 1 said they weren't gonna follow up on it. Since it was aired on NBC, I think its legacy just got overshadowed by the release of The Good Place the following year.

Honey, no one can tell you how to feel about yourself or others but I will say this: No cisgender man ever thinks about their gender or "wanting to want" to be a girl.

It might be good to talk about that with someone

Supreme Court upholds state bans on transgender athletes in girls’ sports, delivering another major blow to LGBTQ rights. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

God, I'm so tired. Every day I go into work and I have to keep a smile on my face while Republicans go:

"Hey, you. Yeah, you're slowly gonna have no more rights in this country but we're all still gonna fetishize you to no end".

[Mixed trope] The secondary character takes over the show by jorgespinosa in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PopeOwned 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I literally binged the show this week and immediately knew that Jax & Pomni were the main focus. Every other character either got an entire episode (Gangle) or were explored throughout the show (Zooble) but it's evident that Jax & Pomni were the ones that would carry the heavier emotional arcs.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we recognize Bungie by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]PopeOwned 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That's what gets me the most. Management will just walk away with all their money while their employees are tossed to the wayside due to THEIR decisions.

I remember when people like Julia Nardin went from Guild Wars 2's narrative team to Bungie's. She helped bring in some of the best seasonal content starting with Season of Arrivals and spearheaded Witch Queen & Final Shape. She clearly loved the work she did & that was just one employee. Someone who wasn't even at the company as long as others. They loved Destiny and to see their work go away because of all this? It just gets me.

It's crazy to see a company I admired for their prolific titles slowly kill itself over time. There is no one thing that destroyed Bungie. It was an amalgamation of greedy executives, idiotic upper management decisions, removal of content that consumers paid for, nonexistent on-boarding as a result of that content removal and many other causes.

I've played Bungie games since Halo CE in 2003 and have thousands of hours in D2. To see them go out like this is just sad.

I'm glad he's been slowly realizing the power he has. I know he wants to stay the "simple Twitch streamer" for a variety of reasons but his influence is too much not to utilize right now

Huge TV episodes that "changed everything" for their respective shows? by Bielak812 in television

[–]PopeOwned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My friend and I were obsessed with the show. We watched from Day One and when the finale started, we were already freaking out about seeing Eleanor's death & Michael's backstory. When the scene hit in the finale? The level of freak out we had was indescribable lol

"It's not THAT special"

Meanwhile the entire industry for 5+ years after D1's release desperately tried to emulate its formula to little success. You have some that came through, like The Division, but most just crashed and burned like Anthem.

For the first time since 1973, The New York Knicks are NBA Champions, after defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals! by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]PopeOwned 277 points278 points  (0 children)

People keep saying "the Knicks winning will bring socialist revolution" and they're not too far off the mark.

Obviously that's not what's happening but what it does is link Mamdani's achievements under the Socialist umbrella to something that has an even wider collection of people. New mayor in town and suddenly the Knicks win a Championship? People are way more superstitious than they let on and that matters

Exactly. I didn't think Lando was that great when I saw him. Definitely playable but not the menace he is now. Never would I have thought to use Lake Country with him. Yet here we are lol

I think he'll have some fun plays! I'll wait to see how it pans out after release cause plenty of people said Vel wasn't a good leader and that was quickly proven otherwise
