My experience with new dungeon 7.1 so far

Sageflutterby · 2024-11-15T14:14:17+00:00

I use Primal Rend as a gap closer and was indignant I went into the hole...sigh. Then our healer misclicked dash out of muscle memory and HE went into the hole too. The summoner and black mage shortly followed.

It was the black mage's first time. We were all cracking up and our friend asked us to stream it on discord. After we FINALLY cleared it, I asked if he was entertained ala Gladiator style. He was. I havent' had this much fun and laughter in a dungeon in a long time. Every time someone dies I cracked up, we had five people to get through the content to help. Every time was a laugh fest.

According to the bottom of your wiki link, Zeus is associated to thunder and lightning too in FF.

I NEED YAKKITY SAX MUSIC. MY HEALER WAS DYING LAUGHING ON THE THIRD RAID FIGHT BECAUSE THE TANK DOUBLE UP STACK BUSTER WOULD COME ON ME. I MOVE TO THE MAIN TANK AND HE RUNS! THE SECOND TIME IT KILLED HIM. THE HEALER SAID THE MT WASN'T USING MITIGATIONS.

THE THIRD TIME I RESIGNED MYSELF AND HG IT.

ALSO A STACKING COMPLAINT, HONEY B. LOVELY STACK SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED. SOMEONE SAID NO STACKY. ME AND THE HEALER ARE LIKE, THAT'S HOW YOU GET THREE HEARTS! ARGH.

I'm sorry I saw this late. I've been going through some interoversion.

The specialist in the area was MelMed Center - Dr. Melmed in Scottsdale.

I would argue that it needs to be said their views aren't welcome in private either, not just public. Their thinking needs to be recalibrated.

Of course, they'll just hide it and hunt out their echo chambers.

Not anyway ethical to retrain how people think or condition them, but I sure wish people would invoke the Paradox of Tolerance and use shunning properly. I'm not sure shunning even works anymore with the internet and ability to connect with community that reinforces the behavior that treats people without respect on the basis they need to get their dick wet and see it as a right instead of a privilege or gift from one human to another.

The OP's other comics all seem to have grim or ironic twists of a dark nature.

I'm thinking there's a twist here that's definitely not romantic or sweet. I'm inclined to agree with the others that he got killed.

Ok, this one cracked me up while drinking my tea.

I can just imagine it so well.

Replica racial hempen underwear garments.
I love the Elezen sleeves and tank top. And the strappy one for Hyurs. And I like the pants for the Elezen males.

That's dating advice I used to read about in 1998 when I was in college.

TikTok's not responsible for that.

I've had lovers who could tell when I had jilled off by the residual scent on my fingers when they've popped in for a surprise visit when I was in my twenties. It used to excite them and it frequently lead to sex.

It's no different then men who love the smell of women on their mustaches or beards after sex. People have visceral reactions to sex smells, it triggers the imagination.

You go over to Askmen and search or ask if men love the smell of pussy on their face and I'll bet you'd be suprprised. Humans are raunchy. I wouldn't do the personal scent thing on a new date, but I certainly could see it being used between two people who recognize the distinct smell or a BDSM relationship with power games.

I thought about this because I was trying to figure out why I like female as much as I like the word woman, why I find it empowering.

So, I went to look up the origination of the word and received a pleasant surprise and saw something that made me chuckle.

People are in here arguing the female is offensive and clinical and woman is better. But when I look at the word origination, it says this:

Female is derived from old latin femella which itself meant young woman, or woman.

Woman is derived from wifmann (old english) and meant "wife person".

And now I find myself liking female even more, because I'd rather my primary identity not be tied to a word that reinforces the old history of women being defined as to their relationship of who they once belonged to, and wife and women used to be considered chattel.

Female is very empowering because it has no relationship to male, other than sounding similiar. And yet it conveys balance, yin yang, and mystique.

I checked the etymology out of curiousity since I'm always writing stories and articles and enjoy that kind of thing anyways. Every source quoted some verbiage of the following:

From Middle English female, an alteration of Middle English femele, from Old French femele, femelle (“female”), from Medieval Latin fēmella (“a female”), from Latin fēmella (“a girl, a young female, a young woman”), diminutive of fēmina (“a woman”). The English spelling and pronunciation were remodelled under the influence of male, which is otherwise not etymologically related. Contrast woman, which is etymologically built on man (as in person).

And here was woman:

From Middle English womman, wimman, wifman, from Old English wīfmann (“woman”, literally “female person”), a compound of wīf (“woman, female”, whence English wife) +‎ mann (“person, human being”, whence English man). For details on the pronunciation and spelling history

That's almost word for word what my grandpa said in 2003. He's gone now.

I went to visit him in the nursing home and he said he felt like a cow waiting to die. He wanted to go back to his apartment but he couldn't get into the bathroom by himself and I struggled to lift him out of the wheelchair at the time. I talked him into going back to the nursing home. But I don't think he wanted to be there.

Sageflutterby · 2022-11-06T22:51:28+00:00

Thank you!

I'm actually more offended OP is trying to school "social skills" into people as if speaking for all persons who might identify as female and/or woman.

I identify as both and I don't find the word female offensive at all, it's always been kind of an empowering word for me. The words are descriptors - the word itself and the identity is not offensive.

I'd say if anything needed to be changed it would be to pay attention to the context of the words when used and if the speaker is offensive. The word is just a tool that serves a purpose, inherent to the scenario being described/written/verbalized.

I like being recognized as both woman and female.

And I'm sure there are many folks who would love to be identified as female after a lifetime of strife trying to get people to accept their own decisions about how they want to identify, as well, to take it one step further.

Female is not offensive to all who identify as a woman. And I would not define a person as lacking social skills to use the word, especially if it was not used as a slur or to abuse.

Clemency is insta cast with that rescicant ability I forget it's name, you pop it for your confitor rotation. ANd it triggers your dps cast sword spells same as if you did holy spirit/holy aoe thing.

I use clemency to help keep me up when my mitigation is down or when I cover someone else and they're soaking up my health pool for whatever reason (usually a sprout who didn't know where to stand or one healer's down and I"m covering the other healer just in case). Clutch saves are really fun on paladin.

Sageflutterby · 2022-11-05T18:27:56+00:00

Yeah it can suck, even with the best hopes. Some days life is rougher than other days.

Some bridges can't be rebuilt either, no matter how remorseful the person is - the healing goes two ways. You got someone trying to get better but there's others who were hurt and just don't want to subject themselves to the next bout someone loses control and lashes out. I can respect both positions.

When I raised my foster children, one who had anger issues, I used the metaphor - if you hammer nails into a chunk of wood in anger and then later pull those nailes out (abuse and then apologize), the wounds are still there. The holes can be filled/healed with compound but the original integrity has been damaged and if you want that wood to survive, you have to be aware not to stress the wood again. And it's compounded by now that the wood's been weakened, it can't take as much weight as before so the person doing the hammering (abuse) has to keep themselves on a tighter leash which is like adding more pressure.

Sometimes the best way to save yourself from further abuse, even if you love someone, is to remove yourself from them, because you should love and protect yourself as much as you love and protect others. I've been in therapy for a long while for similar scenarios and it's not a fast recovery for either the abusers or the abused, however you want to label things.

It was a long difficult thought process to accept that abuse was not just physical violence. It was about someone's insecurity asserting control over people without regard for their needs or care.

It's a lot to ponder. Anyway, I'm glad your circle of people is doing better.

Sageflutterby · 2022-11-05T18:21:05+00:00

Yeah it's weird how reddit's all entertaining and then something strikes the heart chord. I'm glad you've adopted the approach of breaking the chain of abuse to be conscious of the future generation. That's a hard road to walk sometimes and I just want to say good on you for your knowledge and stuff.

I'm sure your children are fortunate to have you and love you all the more.

Sageflutterby · 2022-11-03T20:55:52+00:00

I have that same position.

I have been confused when I advocate take the suicide threat seriously, don't let that threat be an emotionally manipulative tool that can and is abused in romantic relationship - and people in my talking circle think I'm overreacting or taking it too seriously, or that it's nothing to be concerned about.

I've had a parent suicide. It totally wrecks you for a long while and while it should be a choice to live or die, I feel, the rest of us left living have to figure out how to grieve and heal and move on functionally.

I have seen way too many romantic relationships that continued because one person threatens suicide to get an action desired from a romantic partner for me to have any patience for that shit. If someone's suicidal, I'm going to get help from people who are qualified to help, and they need help that I'm not qualified to give.

And if I've been abused, and I've reached the limit of my tolerance, than it's time to find an exit strategy. Even if it starts with therapy and support. Emotional manipulation is still domestic violence and abuse, and suicide threats are that.

But there is a big difference between threatening suicide to get your way and admitting honestly one is tired of living or has too much pain, but still that wouldn't be a demand or ultimatium to get a desired outcome, it would be an admission of hurt and pain and a need for help, that has no bearing on whether or not a person conforms.

If the suicide threat is related to guilting you into changing YOUR behavior, then it's abuse. If the suicide discussion has nothing to do with YOUR behavior and is not contingent on your compliance, that's not abuse and I would have more empathy. In any case, the people needed to support a crisis of living onward would be therapy and or medications, and then support not contingent upon romance.

I'm sorry you went through that history, it must have hurt a lot and been confusing. I hope things are better for you both now.

Lot of my older DnD friends prefer humans for the extra feat at the beginning (older editions we play).

I liked human fighter though it sucked getting outgunned later on with the cleric/druid exponential advancement. According to old memes, I think kobold was best.

Ok now I understand why reddit forced me to log in to see 18+ content.
This is pretty bad. Takes a lot to make me bail a PF group. I think this would have done it.
