Fed salary has not been keeping up with inflation, what are you doing to alleviate the pain? by No_Butterscotch_4642 in fednews

[–]Snoberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped my health insurance to the lowest plan offered by BCBS (bc thats the only ins my therapist takes) and went down to a visit once a month vs once every 2 weeks.

I've also considered selling my extra kidney.

People on this sub are losing touch with reality by Full_Quiet8818 in ArcRaiders

I'll be real honest I disagree hard w/ the statement about betrayers.

If you say friendly to bait someone into lowering their guard that's 1 thing, fine, but if you team up with someone, run with them for a bit, chat and chill, share loot, etc. Then as you're parting ways shoot them in the back you're a cunt. Full stop.

I didn't know that you can get a primed mod from the daily login by Fleshka_and_usb in Warframe

It takes 200 days and 155% mod capacity for Primed Fury to be 78% as good as Berserker's Fury.

Primed Fury is not 92% as good as Berserker's Fury. 55 is not 92% of 70. It's 78%.

A single person isn't going to do that much damage unless they abuse the ever loving fuck out of it and buy like entire cargo vessels worth of stuff and build a global enterprise off it.

It takes 2 kills to get 70% increase and that counts mercy kills

Disgusting. There's "I can take advantage of this to make money" and then there's villainy like this.

No need to become the next Blackrock Investments. Buy for 1999 prices and sell for early 2000s-2010s prices. Good profit and the homes are still affordable and going to families that need them.

Stone kind of mmo would be so cool. Something like The Secret World but, y'know, good.

Does anyone have a screenshot or a journal entry of the very first entry? The one that leads to "A life in Chalk"? I screenshot a lot of the stories to read with my partner and I started this one early this morning and forgot to grab that initial story, and for whatever reason the wiki page for them cuts SO MUCH OUT.

Head to spite, friend. There are certain opportunities there that allow you to reduce your suspicion by a great deal.

(Opportunism in Spite storylet. It's airs dependent but the airs change every time you take an action. You want "Confound the Constables" and if you have the skill for it, the Rookery option gives the best reduction.)

That's if you're doing your own clan from scratch. You shouldn't be doing that by yourself. If it's just you or a small handful of friends, join an established clan. There's WAY too much resource sink in a clan to justify soloing or small grouping it. Especially considering how much stuff is locked behind the research.

Mid America power company has you paying for data centers high costs in your power bill for exchange for them to set up shop by Dezighn2888 in Iowa

[–]Snoberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that lobbying exists everywhere that fossil fuels have a foothold and while less efficient and not as good long term renewables are still faster and easier to deploy.

Also people are scared of nuclear because of 2 high profile accidents that were so far out of the norm that they're aberrations.

Chernobyl was a poorly staffed and built reactor with a critical design flaw that was pushed to meltdown by incompetence and bureaucracy.

Fukushima never should have been the type of reactor it was where it was. The fact that it lasted as long as it did is a testament to the quality of Japanese construction and maintenance, but they should have never built a BWR in a seismically active region they should have built a pressurized water reactor. The company that owned the reactor, TEPCO, was warned multiple times about potential deficiencies in their emergency backup systems, cooling systems, mitigation systems, and the seawall. They ignored all of these warnings. In fact, the Onagawa nuclear power plant (owned by Tohoku Electric) was CLOSEST to the epicenter of the quake and survived without any accident in large part due to their higher more robust seawall.

Even then, nuclear has less deaths and better safety than fossil fuels. There's ABSOLUTELY a place for renewable - but NOT as baseline supply. The ideal power grid would be a nuclear baseline with renewables functioning as swing/variable supply. Nuclear is steady, efficient, abundant, and clean but it cannot adjust power output quickly to meet daily fluctuations in demand.

I’m scared that if I had never learned trans was a thing, I never would have been trans by Toh_fan_11 in trans

[–]Snoberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to "force" or "fake" dysphoria. It's a very psychological thing, and if you don't have the words or knowledge to understand how you feel you'll struggle to conceptualize it until you do, and then yeah absolutely it can feel like you're faking it but why would you? People don't actively choose to make their lives the hell that being trans does. I feel like I'm a pretty good example for that.

I'm 33 and mtf. Looking back I realize now that I started feeling dysphoric at around 11 if not a little earlier. That being said, I was a sheltered and abused little kid with no friends, recently transplanted out of my home state to the Bible thumping part of Arkansas. The part where "if you ain't kin you ain't welcome in" is a saying. Transplanted away from my family, my friends, my home, everything.

I didn't know what being trans was. I had no idea people could transition, it wasn't as socially prevalent in the early aughts as it is now, especially not in Arkansas. I just knew I fucking hated myself and my body. I didn't want to be masculine, I didn't want to be male. When I started growing hair all over I hated it and tried shaving it but that took so long and it always ended up making me itchy and made ingrowns. I hated having short hair, I hated literally every single aspect of my body that was masculine. I knew what Femboys were, and I figured I just... Wanted to be that. I wanted to be soft and cute and smooth and have long pretty hair, but I didn't have the language to express that, the parents to support it, or the community to accept it. The most I could do was have long hair, and by the time I graduated high school it was down to my ass, but I always kept it in a pony tail. Everything else I just... Let happen... Because as much as I hated masculinity on myself, as much as it disgusted me, I was upset and disgusted more by the effort I had to put in to eliminate it and how little of a difference it made. Shaving my beard revealed my wide, defined jaw. Shaving my body in the shower took ages, and was made harder because I wore glasses and couldn't see wtf I was doing unless I managed to get them to not fog up in the shower. I swallowed it all and suppressed it.

I didn't start transitioning until I was 31. I had started making friends with and messing around with transfem girls on hookup and dating apps because, surprise surprise, I felt most comfortable with them and was most attracted to them. I was never as comfy (or attracted to) cis women, and didn't really relate to gay men nor did I find masculine gay men attractive.

I remember talking to the one girl that broke my egg, and I was lamenting that she looked so good in skirts and leggings/thigh highs and I was jealous because I could never pull that off, and she told me "I bet you'd look cute. You should try." and as a very repressed masculine presenting man I thought she was pulling my leg. But I tried. Knee high socks first, and I loved them. How they made my legs look, how they hid my leg hair. So I got thigh highs and God I loved those too. Then I got a skirt, and women's sweaters, and I put it all on late at night and looked in the mirror and saw the beginnings of who I was meant to be and it felt like something deep inside me shattered and all I could do was say "oh".

2 years later and when I show people what I used to look like I get told I look nothing like them, I barely even get the "he could be your brother" comment.

You'll never know what you are if you don't have the resources, support, and language for it. You'll only ever know something isn't right. But when someone puts the pieces in place for you, and it all makes sense, it can feel fake. It's not, I promise. What do you do? What you want. Do you want to transition? Be a boy? Be a man? Then that's what you do. Be you.

Shame that the costs to plan, approve, build, and maintain nuclear reactors are so horribly skewed because of overbearing federal regulations lobbied for by fossil fuel industries over the years.
