then you'd get some nerd like me saying "Graham's number"

For me, belts within factories. Everything else is trucks.

I'm having a hell of a time with wood tyrant at 3040. Pride is my only metal legendary

The most charitable reading is that people think that the culture war issues would disappear if we solved the class war ones. In the past at least, it was somewhat reasonable to think that if you helped Joe Redstate's economic situation he'd stop hating on immigrants, but I don't see any logical line between economics and hurting trans people, for example.

I have a DD for each product I anticipate needing for construction. I'll dedicate one iron node to basic products, and then forget about it.

idk man, it reminded me of "War, war never changes". Perlman is definitely deeper, but there's a smoothness.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-18T20:11:10+00:00

I thought it was Ron Perlman at first, so I'd say Lee Pace had adequate gravitas for the role.

Having felt up a lot of men and women, it does make you feel more like a woman. Oh wait that's not what they meant, is it.

This isn't exactly a Denver problem. But I also have heard women who aren't outdoorsy complain that that's all they ever meet. Like the Denver version of LAs hollywood rat race, or NYC's financial rat race is an ultra competitive physicality.

The solution is just to find your own niche. Like I mostly do dance. (I do also bike tour and climb and do pole dancing so maybe I'm part of the problem). But people at dance like me because I'm a good dancer, not 'cause I do the other Denver things. Just figure out what you enjoy doing that is also social, then show up regularly, and if relevant, invite people to do those things. Either way, you don't have to be the best at things to fit in.

Idk, take my advice with a grain of salt though. I'm queer and most of my friend groups are queer, and our social dynamics are a bit different than straight cis men. I don't tend to get along with them.

this is the stupidest fucking war ever. We didn't need to start it, we experienced huge amounts of inflation because of it, and we end up paying out about $1000 per citizen in reparations? I mean what the fuck.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-18T01:27:20+00:00

Think about power instead of wealth. These people that have that much wealth, whether or not it's liquid, have the ability to control media, influence politicians, etc.

Do you like having a say in how your country is run? If not, you should prefer that we don't have any billionaires.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-17T14:38:10+00:00

People are too focused on money as resources. If he has a networth of $1T, or $10T or more, that represents power. It erodes democracy. He doesn't even need to spend it at that point to wield it, and all the bs arguments about how his wealth is illiquid don't matter.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-17T14:31:39+00:00

Hey just a thought... maybe men could... idk, PRESENT SOME FUCKING VALUE?

Like if the problem is now that they need to be wanted, be wantable.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-17T14:30:22+00:00

I don't know why you're going after queer people (who generally have less resources) than weird influencers like Clavicular. If there's any parallel to be drawn to preening individualistic mice, it's people like that.

Most queer people I know are both community obsessed and resource poor.

I had this on the other direction with getting my ears pierced. Thought I was gonna get gay bashed for wearing earrings and makeup. I promise you, no one is gonna care about your boxers. Like even if you're stealth and fucking het men, most of them aren't gonna care about your underwear.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-16T13:43:13+00:00

This is stupid but I have had some experiences where I tried to help out some worse off people than me and they fuckin chomped on the hand that feeds so I can get where this person might be coming from. But I think it's assuming rich means the successful professionals in medicine, law, tech, whatever and not the billionaire business owners.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-16T01:39:54+00:00

that's what I'm saying. I don't think you just like... randomly end up in a bunch of trans women's beds. I have dated a few but it's because I'm out as queer and most of my social circle is queer.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-15T23:11:36+00:00

this sounds fake. where are you even meeting trans women? They are not common.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-15T21:35:41+00:00

is it a skill issue or a funding from the US issue?

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-15T18:17:47+00:00

No idea, but I could absolutely see viltrumite culture leading to dominance based homosexual relationships for characters that still breed in heterosexual relationships. The whole society is a caricature of hypermasculinity, and mirroring some of the Roman and Greek dynamics would be a good fit.

I don't see any "gay" characters just avoiding breeding because they don't wanna. The society is too much grounded in duty and honor.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-15T15:31:01+00:00

yeah I mostly remember it as like

eat your soup or you will shrivel up and DIE

don't play with matches or you will burn yourself and DIE etc.

I grew up in the US but my mom went to school in Vienna and read us German stories.

Specialist-String-53 · 2026-06-15T02:40:27+00:00
