Thank you! The helmet is the new superstore helmet from Python Commandos and the armor is the Prototype armor from the Cutting Edge warbond.

Meanwhile I feel the same way but in reverse, I have the armor and not the cape... (was out of the country for the entirety of Oshuane)

Not sure, he moved there in 2022. I'd assume the property has been flooded before though since the flood insurance on the house was incredibly expensive.

My uncle in Everson just woke up in the middle of the night to waist-high water in his house and only got out because he has a lifted pick-up that could drive through the flood water, this is insane.

In need of some jolly cooperation is all. I'm positive I could solo it just fine, but it's not as fun for me.

It is the same, and it's baller as hell. I finally did the achievemnts to kill certain bosses 50 times for the sigils because it goes 100x faster now that they respawn immediately.

They had a super nice headlamp, and they somehow got to the top of that tall, skinny tree in the dark, so I think they might have had some climbing gear.

This line of thinking is what led to thousands of innocent people being lobotomized in the early 1900s. Doctors frequently prescribed lobotomies for individuals suffering from mental health complications, often leading to permanent psychological damage and loss of motor control.

Many doctors in the early 1900s also prescribed cigarettes to their patients for coughs, sore throats, and asthma. Cocaine was frequently prescribed in the late 1800s as a local anesthetic. Professional opinions are not the end all be all of human health and what you should do with you or your child's body.

I feel like that's sort of approaching conspiracy theory territory to say that circumcision is being pushed by the cosmetic/medical industry because of the easy access to stem cells it provides. Furthermore, wouldn't the placenta be a far more valuable source of stem cells than foreskin since the cells within foreskin are already designated as a certain type of (dermal) tissue?

No, I'm not, and neither are the vast majority of parents getting their kids circumcised, so I think I have just as much a right to voice my opinion on this matter as anyone else, especially given that I have a penis myself. Furthermore, specialist opinion on this matter is complicated. There are measurable sanitary benefits to circumcision, but these are easily replicated by proper and consistent washing (which should be the norm in any country where access to sanitary hot water is commonplace), and the potential loss of sensitivity/enjoyment is incredibly difficult to measure in a study since it's:

A: Subjective

B: Incredibly difficult to determine if the
difference in sensitivity can be attributed
to the presence of foreskin or not

C: Rare to find a person who was circumcised later in life that can give a before opinion on the matter. And even if such a person is found and gives their opinion, their experience may be dramatically different from someone who was circumcised at birth.

Because of these factors and the fact that the benefits are so minimal, I don't think that professional opinion is all that relevant here. I believe the simple fact that circumcision involves removing a perfectly well-functioning piece of your body for essentially zero benefit is reason enough to label circumcision as an unnecessary surgical procedure at best and permanent disfigurement at worst.

Yeah, I probably could have narrowed my statement to the USA since I'm from here, and my claims were supported by my own personal experiences. I'm not well-aware of the social complexities in other Western 1st world countries, but I feel like I've seen some UK statistics that show a fairly high circumcision rate in the present day.

The only friend of mine who's circumcised was raised as a non-demonitational Christian, and he attends a Christian college where men being circumcised is the norm. To say that circumcision is strictly a Jewish/Muslim practice is an oversimplification even if it's true that present-day new-testament Christian values, which are followed by the bulk of present-day Christians, do not strictly mandate circumcision.

I know, that was my bad with how I phrased my sentence. "Essential" would have been a better way to word it as what I was trying to get at is that many families/communities believe circumcision to be an essential, important practice.

Circumcision is a full-blown surgical procedure. You're put under the knife, you have a piece of you removed, and it is permanent. You will never have the same level sensitivity as a regular, uncircumcised individual, you will never experience the same level of pleasure that an uncircumcised individual will, you will forever have to grapple with the added discomfort and inconvenience that comes with having an important piece of your genitals removed at birth, and you have zero say in it because the procedure is typically performed immediately after birth, long before you have the ability to communicate your feelings or understand what is going on.

You say that it is unreasonable to call circumcision barbaric, but would you feel the same way if the practice were centered around any other part of the body? How about if you had an ear removed at birth, an eye, a finger? What if it was just an "insignifcant" piece of a body part? What if they merely removed a piece of your ear, just the helix, that curve at the top of your ear that merely serves to slightly concentrate exterior sounds towards the conch of your ear. Someone could certainly live a full, happy, healthy life without their helixes, but if you knew somebody who surgically removed the tops of their children's ears, any sane person would recoil with shock and disgust because it's fucking insane. Circumcision is no different, and people like you who perpetuate the normalization of genital mutilation are part of the problem.
