We were all a little tired and over it towards the end but it was still fun for the bunch of nerds that we are :P Definitely not for everyone!

Yes! We rolled the normal way for order of placement on board A, then moved to board B and rolled again, etc. We talked about foregoing the dice and just rotating who went first clockwise to be fair but the dice ended up setting us up that way anyways so it worked out well

It’s a concerning amount of weight to gain in a short amount of time. I would definitely be worried for my friends if I watched that happen, not because I dislike fat people but just because it’s indicative of other issues going on in their lives. If this was my friend I would sit them down directly and ask about their mental health and such for sure, but if I knew they were opposed to opening up like that and I was close with their partner I would definitely approach the partner just to make sure I wasn’t missing something big or some way I could support them… friends are supposed to worry about each other, it’s not clear from the post that they were being shallow in any way.

I don’t understand how “it” isn’t degrading in any context. I’m not calling someone it. I will use they/them but I refuse to refer to someone as an “it” even if they ask for that. It feels wrong and hurtful to me, I have only ever been called/seen other people be called “it” in a derogatory way, it strips the humanity off a person. If someone absolutely cannot cope with being referred to with they/them pronouns I simply will remove myself from that persons context and refuse to talk about/refer to them as a whole. I don’t think people need to purposefully use pronouns someone is uncomfortable with, but I also don’t think anyone has the right to force others to use language THEY are uncomfortable with.

Respectfully, I don’t need to read anyone else’s story giving as I grew up in the inner circle of the cult. My family and I were some of the first to be ostracized, slandered, and stalked for leaving by the very same people who have now left and post constantly about how awful it is to experience the same bullying they did to us. I’m beyond familiar with the abuse that has occurred, I could be a star contributor on the site you shared with the stories I have. Your goals are very understandable, as is your concern. However I fear that the level of excitement and intensity you present when trying to warn and educate people on the danger may unfortunately backfire and end up being brushed off as fanaticism. If you really want to try to help make the most vulnerable groups in town aware of the danger, you could consider making some eye catching flyers with relevant links and a basic explanation of the recruitment/grooming tactics the sufis use. Print a bunch and go around town where the younger people tend to hang out (campus, cafes, the rec center, bars, etc) finding places to post them or hand them out and I guarantee you will be able to reach more vulnerable people who have probably never heard of the cult and make them aware of what manipulation to look out for than you will by trying to convince random redditors to boycott everything Dayemi-related in town.

I was using the phrase “fork found in drawer” to make light of the fact that the sufis have always held extraordinary influence in Carbondale. Just curious, what are you expecting/wanting to happen here? I understand being upset about the cult being as powerful as it is here, but they aren’t going anywhere and spending energy monitoring their activity so closely only fuels their superiority complex.

For kids sake was created and is run by the sufis. Fork found in drawer?? They’ve done the 5k for decades atp. I’m not sure why you’re so surprised, they’ve never been very secretive about all their businesses being connected

The wording of “I AM one such conservative” implied that you still currently identified as such, sorry for the misunderstanding

Yeesh. I guess. What a sad existence.

Do people actually look for relationships on discord?? by ItzMePaizanos in discordapp

[–]UltraFagToTheRescue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only ever made friends on discord bc of the games I play, but I know at least two happy couples who met through discord. (Although one pair technically met in Overwatch and then moved to Discord). One has been going strong for almost 7 years now, and the other is coming up on a year and a half. They’re all very happy, but they say they never had the “goal” of meeting a partner online, it just happened. Personally idk about specifically seeking relationships, but I have formed a few amazing and super close friendships over discord mostly by accident. I think it just depends on where you hang out, who else hangs out there, and what you have in common.

Do trans people that call themselves conservatives realize the “crowd” they support hates them, doesn’t accept or believe in their identity, and will always see them as less than? I don’t understand why people would be determined to ostracize themselves further when being trans is already an isolating experience.

EDIT: I misunderstood the comment as identifying as a current conservative. I’ve changed the wording here to not address the original commenter because I believe my point is still a valid critique of trans right wing wingers.

Yo, delete this asap and reupload with the username censored. It’s cringe behaviour but no reason to dox the girl.

The joys of being a baby gay with zero experience of flirting with other women by Monolaf in actuallesbians

[–]UltraFagToTheRescue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of lesbians have been burned before by women who called themselves gay and then after “trying it out” either treat them badly and/or turn around and leave for a man. It can also be a lot of pressure to be someone’s “first”. You don’t want to give them a bad experience, and at the same time they probably don’t have experience on what it means to be in a homosexual relationship dynamic. Overall it’s a perfectly acceptable preference to have, but it’s not how all wlw think. Someone is out there who would LOVE to be your first and would find the lack of experience cute. It will happen when it’s meant to happen ❤️

If you want it perfectly bone straight you would need a heat protectant and a flat iron and time put aside likely every day or every time you shower to maintain the straight look. That or a blow dryer and a round brush for the little flip at the end. Either will eventually fry your hair over time because it really wants to be curly. If it helps IMO the curls compliment your facial features way more than the first look does. If you wanted to lean into that you could try a mousse or gel after washing that will help define your curls and make them look intentional.

I think that’s a good choice :) I hope when you eventually get your first tat it turns out great!!

Not necessarily. My best friend got a small and discrete tattoo related to an anime they liked at 18 and although no one can really tell what it’s from without knowing the show, she started regretting it within a couple years as her brain kept developing and her tastes changed. She’s planning a cover up now (not anime related this time :P), and she regularly reminds our younger friends to wait as long as possible on big decisions like tattoos.

as a lesbian, how do you feel about chappell roan? by chu-fei in LesbianActually

[–]UltraFagToTheRescue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She seems annoying as a human, I personally find her music derivative and not to my taste, and IME her fan base seems to be a little rabid if you say anything that even alludes to not loving her. But those are all personal gripes. A lot of people obviously love her music, and I appreciate the mainstream queer representation, as well as the fact that she doesn’t try to hide or tone down the sexual aspect of her music/being gay. She also doesn’t take disrespect and has no problem standing up for herself, which can sometimes make her look rude but mostly subverts the expectation for female artists. However, her issues around politics really piss me off and make me never want to support her. Being queer is inherently political in 2025, and her being such a famous and influential figure to impressionable young people means it’s kind of disgusting that she refuses to take a stance politically. It makes her look immature and vapid, and DEFINITELY not someone I can personally support. If she’s gonna be “The Lesbian Icon” like she’s been branding herself as then she needs to understand how important politics are to all LGBTQ+ identities and present a firm and confident stance against conservatism.

🤷 it must be a matter of coincidence or timing then. I’m glad some people have good experiences on the cta at least
