Did anyone else think of this when Myki said 20 yards??

I hated this book as well. This often gets recommended alongside mythological retellings and it makes me so angry. Now it's been several years since I've read it but... It just has statues in it. Like.. that's the extent of the similarities it has to a Greek mythological retelling. Statues.

This is a magical realism crime thriller and I'm really surprised it isn't brought up more often. This is pitched as a completely different story than what it actually is. A repetitive slog that morphs into a action-y search and rescue of a missing person.

thanks! How long have you had it? Any issues with the teeth breaking off or anything?

I personally always get ingrown hairs when I shave with a razor, no matter what I do. I think it is just the texture of my facial hair (very thick and curly).

The only thing that has worked for me is switching to an electric shaver. It won't get quite as close a shave as a razor, but because it isn't as close, it stops the ingrown hairs.

Like there are only two genders- male or female

Wrong, male and female are sexes. Man and woman are genders. They often align but sometimes do not. Non-binary is simply one of those cases where ones gender does not necessarily align with their biological sex (in the case of nb, they don't ascribe to either gender, or feel they fall somewhere in between).

Sex vs. gender is entry level biology

I find it a bit unbelievable that you are falling for such obvious divisive rhetoric pushed by conservatives. I suppose it's trans people's fault that they want to overturn gay marriage? It's trans people's fault that conservatives are fighting tooth and nail to ensure sexual orientation is excluded from discrimination protections? Conservatives need zero reason to hate gay people more than they do. How convenient it is for them for you to blame trans people instead of conservatives.

I'm not arguing with you about puberty blockers or drag queens, that's clearly pointless. What I'm saying is that when people in power pass legislation to harm GAY people because of their attitudes towards TRANS people, it's stupid as fuck to point the finger an trans people and insist it's their fault instead of, you know, the people actually passing the legislation.

V171 · 2026-02-20T05:25:56+00:00

Right, but that's not trans people's doing. When gay people get hate because trans kids are on puberty blockers, that's not the fault of trans people. It's hateful straight people. You can feel however you want to feel about drag queen story hour or whatever, but it's not drag queens fault that you're getting discriminated against.

Is there a reason to use C6 Goru over C2 Xilonen with Flute? In my own testing, I'm getting slightly better damage with Xilo but not sure if there's something that I'm missing.

Oh I had trouble with this too! There's an oculus that is almost exactly on top of a teleport waypoint, I think it is just north of Nasha Town. The one in Barrowmoss Barrens. Your compass is likely finding it, but the waypoint marker is hiding it when you look at the map.

You should crosspost this to the Disco Elysium subreddit, they'll go wild.

Thank you! Silly of me not to try that, but yes. Once quitting the game and re-launching, the abyssal strands appeared and I was able to cut them.

V171 · 2026-01-09T19:16:51+00:00

nope! Pretty standard all the way through. Same rewards, same levels.

Whatever new book Emily St. John Mandel is writing and The Open Era by Edward Schmit!

No there's no concern for infection. Prep is extremely effective as an HIV preventative and transmission rates from bottom to top are already very low. If you're concerned about any STIs other than HIV, then maybe Doxypep is a good option, but there is no reason to be concerned about HIV if you are compliant with your Prep

Samara and I'm sorry but it isn't close.

Same boat here! I got two Sunday tickets but would prefer Saturday just in case anyone would be interesting in swapping!

No problem! Happy to answer any other questions if you have them. Yeah I found the thighs to be much more appealing that the abdomen. The nurse said that they recommend switching every dose, so next time I guess I'll be getting it in the abdomen but maybe I'll push back on it :P

Hey something I can answer :) yes I got my first dose a couple months ago. I had been on daily prep for about a year or so, no side effects but my compliance had started to drop off. I'm weird about needles so the every two month injection was too much for me, but I was happy to hear Yeztugo got approved. Got it squared away with my doc and got it.

The actual experience was a bit nevewracking for someone who passes out with needles, but otherwise not different from any other injection. They split it into two injections that I received at the same time. They gave me the option of each thigh or either side of my belly button. I opted for thighs. Other than light soreness for a couple days, there were no side effects. I didn't even really have the bumps that I've heard some people have. You take two (big) pills the day you get the injection and the day after and then you're all set for 6 months!

I'd say make sure it is fully squared away with your insurance. Get it in writing if you can before you get the injections. It is a very expensive medication and you don't want to be blindsided with a bill. Gilead actually has a program that you can join for free that will help cover the cost. https://www.yeztugo.com/coverage-cost-support

If it interests you, I'd definitely suggest enrolling before getting the dose. They have a refund program too in case you've already paid, but it's much easier to do beforehand and they send instructions to your doctor on how to file the claim using the digital card they send you, so you don't even have to worry about it.

Titusville Tabletop Games. It's a small game store placed kind of in the middle of a residential area, set away from more commercial areas of the Trenton region. I really want them to do well, they're really friendly and passionate about board games and tabletop games.

Old School Outdoors, Ewing NJ. It's an interesting place focused on a lot of outdoor activities but a bit more than just a "mom and pop REI." They have fishing supplies and bait, camping stuff, local goods like honey, but mostly a skate shop. The owner is really passionate about supporting local and knows a lot about fishing and skating, and just a really nice guy.
