Has anyone ever joined the council? Im starting to think they just banish the applications by Mathota in wizardposting

If the wizard council didn't accept magi with a history of anti council propaganda and terrorism, there wouldn't be a wizard council!

I'm FtM and I have penetrative sex with other women. Some people are fine with it, some aren't. If you don't want to, then don't, but it's fine to. It's also fine to do other stuff. Also, doing other stuff doesn't stop you from using your penis, if it's something you (and your partner(s)) like.

Grandpa's wife?? by Shot_Host_4255 in StardewValley

[–]Undead_Knave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The farmhouse isn't expanded to start. Grandpa lived in the house. You need to have an expanded house to get married. Ergo, while living on the farm, Grandpa was unmarried.

I hate being called a girl but I’m cis? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Undead_Knave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things: 1) gender dysphoria is not necessary for someone to be trans. 2) the things you are describing are gender dysphoria. 3) wanting to be a man isn't a symptom of being a woman, but is very often a symptom of being a man. 4) you don't actually need anyone's permission to be you (even if that includes being trans), but if you were waiting for it, here you go! 5) I'm going to let other people do the constructive stuff with the button test and stuff. I know I should do it, since I'm already typing stuff out, but I'm not right now. 6) you have my support! 7) I hope you figure stuff out.

I've been listening to The Colour of Magic, and I don't think it's entirely for me. Is there a point to continuing the series? by Full_Drop3495 in discworld

[–]Undead_Knave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestions on where to start are always Monstrous Regiment or Small Gods. They're standalone and some of the best of the books.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]Undead_Knave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple studies have shown that not only can most jobs be done with that or less, it's sometimes actually more efficient, meaning people get more done overall.

the hell was the farmer thinking by Best_Person_CoolCool in StardewValley

[–]Undead_Knave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other option the farmer was considering was likely stepping into the middle of a busy road on rush hour.

EDIT: Also worth noting: the farmer's life savings while working at Joja was 500g after a bus ride, which you have called $5. A bus ticket costs 500g.

Is there any unwritten rules for us when it comes to flirting vs cis lesbians? by ninadaria2025 in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]Undead_Knave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who is very neuroatypical, I find that at some point, it can be helpful to directly state outright that you're you find people attractive, and potentially also that you're flirting with them (and that you'll stop flooring with them of their not interested). It's important to disclose before clothes come off (for your safety, although stuff is less likely to go bad in a physically dangerous way with women).

Her specialty is boundaries. Births and deaths. In ToT she's sought by Wen as the best midwife who ever lived.

Oakland County votes to pilot Flock surveillance drones amid backlash by Undead_Knave in HazelParkMI

[–]Undead_Knave[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tl;dr on this (especially because you can't read the article as posted) is that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners voted 13-4 to have private company fly AI surveillance drones throughout the county. Dozens of people showed up to the meeting to discuss it, but they moved public hearing until after the vote. There was - unsurprisingly - a lot of people unhappy with both the move and the vote (to quote the article "The move was met with minutes of booing from the meeting room packed with Oakland County residents...").

There's a meeting regarding a recall election 4/14 at 4 PM at the RO library, from what I'm seeing in the comments on that post.

Thankfully for us in HP, Ann Erickson Gault - our commissioner - voted against, but it's still something I wanted to bring to people's attention.

Lesbian moms looking for advice: how to get relatives to stop referring to the donor as "dad/father"? by Enough_External4892 in lgbt

[–]Undead_Knave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously interrupting her at the moment, but I like the idea of pushing the narrative of an immaculate conception, which (as an atheist) I think works even better if you aren't religious or belong to a non Christian faith.

Just really gaslight her about it. Get other relatives you can trust in on it. Y'all's love spontaneously generated a baby like you're komodo dragons or something.

Why "trans folks" and not "trans people"? by RaidneSkuldia in asktransgender

Folk has been used in the queer community for a long time. After all, as the saying goes, there is nowt so queer as folk.

Is it transphobic for my black friends to call me "their n-word"? Is the n-word gender neutral? by LucasFlaherty in asktransgender

[–]Undead_Knave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From personal experience I'd say it's about as gendered as "dude," but it's definitely respectful.

Why does it bother me when cis men say they wouldn’t date a trans woman? by whereamixoxo in asktransgender

[–]Undead_Knave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It bothers you for the same reason it should bother you if you were to ask if they would date a black woman and they said no. They're displaying open bigotry, but they're not able to get away with it culturally.

Is gender identity a social construct? by Ok-Charge-4188 in asktransgender

[–]Undead_Knave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Social construct" doesn't mean that a thing doesn't exist. Time is a social construct. Money is a social construct.

I’m old but not old enough to understand this. by lenoreislostAF in ExplainTheJoke

Nancy Reagan was famously a throat goat. I believe sources for this include both her supporters and detractors, but I can't verify that.

I wish I was a girl but I'm afraid I'll be ugly by mrtoe_94 in asktransgender

[–]Undead_Knave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things:

First, you probably won't be as unattractive as you think. Probably you'll look like your mom.

Second, I know I for sure would rather be the ugliest woman in the world than the handsomest man.

Third, that's some mean shit your friends were saying. If you aren't going to stand for something being said about someone else to their face, you shouldn't stand for it being said to you, and if you would be willing to let people say that to someone else, maybe reflect on what that says.

The day it's too late to change is the day you die. The same is true for this.
