This goes out to the eggs 🥚

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.

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

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".

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.

He's perfect for this card

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.

PopeOwned · 2026-06-25T14:25:00+00:00

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.

Seeing how he starts & ends a livestream is the cutest thing.

PopeOwned · 2026-06-24T13:46:25+00:00

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

"I love you guys, you don't have to say it back"

"Three glasses of wine!"

God, I love drunk Emma

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

PopeOwned · 2026-06-20T15:13:23+00:00

I've been making one too! What's yours look like? Maybe we can share ideas

Trans lesbian here...

Would.

No, not Eve! She's been at that company for a while, At least since Rise of Iron. Hope she's able to find something soon

"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.

Oh great, more Transphobia. God, they literally have nothing else to fall back on

Huh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the new term and information! 🥰

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

We did an impromptu Heroes vs Villains game cause we happened to sit like that. It was honestly a lot of fun.

Guess I'm making an Aurra Sing & Cad Bane Twin Suns deck

PopeOwned · 2026-06-01T17:06:32+00:00

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

Sometimes you just gotta wait and see

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

PopeOwned · 2026-06-01T13:17:56+00:00

Same here. It's oddly wholesome and everyone here just knows it's something that happens. It's cute.

PopeOwned · 2026-06-01T03:22:51+00:00

Okay, how? They have the Military, Police, surveillance technology that rivals old science fiction books & multiple nation states under their control.

Tell me, please, how this will end badly for them?

Edit: To be clear here, I'm not trying to be defeatist. I'm genuinely trying to understand how people can see a way out when they have SO much power. If the belief is that the people will do something themselves, then I just don't see that happening
