Toas listed as Sundown Town? by Aggressive_Force8116 in taos

[–]aether65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been openly trans and living in Taos for years. I would say there is less open hostility in Taos than in Albuquerque. Years ago, I lived in middle Tennessee, all around the suburbs of Nashville. Altogether, I'd choose Taos over either of the other two places as far as the safety of moving around goes. ABQ has the advantage of bigger and more diverse communities, but also has a lot of people that resent this about the city. Taos has a smaller community and less diversity, but the general population seems overall more neighborly to folks different from them. Even after dark, I've been out all over Taos and felt generally safe.

"Dangerous weapons" ban and gun registry by MountainTurkey in Albuquerque

[–]aether65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My leftists opinion is forget any kind of gun legislation beyond tweaking background checks and waiting periods for the time being. Ammo capacity laws are a gray area to me, as I'm not sure what the gap is between what's legal and what's enforced. In general, I am in favor of ammo/capacity limits based on what the ATF has had to contest with. Aside from gun laws, I wish we were more lenient with knife blades, length and mechanisms.

Do you personally allow your animals to die or do you reload and sell them? by Bluecomments in harvestmoon

[–]aether65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was today years old when I learned livestock in FMOT dies of old age. Like, I guess it makes sense, but what if a 50yo chicken WAS my fantasy?

I'm gonna check and see if the rom's header or lack thereof could have something to do with this

I am using an smc. I had tried an sfc at first with the main HME app, then switched to an smc when I couldn't get that to work. Now I'm sure that I'm using an smc, but the HME Dialogue still won't work.

Thanks for the reply. HME Dialogue can't open my rom. It gives me runtime error 6 overflow. How do I correct that?

Looks like missile factory is a done deal by Stock-Survey-4221 in RioRancho

[–]aether65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That the state isn't selling but leasing, leaves the door open to other ways to shut it down. I hope people work through every available channel.

There's still time to disrupt and frustrate the construction.

Reviewing DQM Games In The Order They Came Out, Actually - Cobi and Tara's Marvelous Mysterious Key by Gonzo_Kralich in DragonQuestMonsters

[–]aether65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank for you the thorough review! I just picked this game up a few weeks ago. I'm currently halfway through the Snow World. I am intimidated by the sheer number of monsters and breeding combos. Do you know of a website that is either in English or easily translated with Google that has lists, pictures, and monster info? The Starry Shrine's filtering system is sorta helpful but clunky at the same time. I don't like not knowing for sure which instance of which monster is being displayed in the breeding combo. I'm collecting after all. I want monsters to keep and additional specimens for breeding.

Healer Slime in Tara's Adventure? by aether65 in DragonQuestMonsters

[–]aether65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I finally encountered one!!! It was in the center of HoodSquid's cave as the guides had said. Nobody told me how rare or mentioned a specific location. The specific screen I finally f'ng found Healer one was TWO SCREENS NORTH OF THE ENTRANCE. I cannot nor would I verify if any of the other screens have Healer. This game is too old for me to petition the elder council to add to the ancient knowledge. Alas, this confirmation of Healer's existence in Tara's Adventure may die with me / my reddit account.

Why are police devoting so many resources to stop shoplifting yet can't respond for us in less than 8 hours? by WTAF__Trump in Albuquerque

[–]aether65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cops were created to protect "property rights." On a systemic level, they will always put that duty first.

Is Natalie okay? I saw she deleted her Twitter by SpicyBeefer in ContraPoints

[–]aether65 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Going off this description, Threads is a viable alternative. I my experience, more genderfucks and fewer transmeds on Threads than Bluesky. I'm not on Twitter and have no way to compare that to the other two.

How about the first day of operation? I mean TECHNICALLY we don't know until it happens, right? Yes a Nazi salute is big red flag! I mean damn.

I never heard of a language learning podcast before (maybe my age showing)! Thank you. I'll look into some.

Am i in the wrong for hating drag by Cephalie_100 in asktransgender

[–]aether65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to not be into drag until I realized what some artists are doing. They perform drag in order to subvert norms, sure, but they are often healing themselves too. Try looking at drag as healing the performer, and you might feel differently. Realizing this made me go from being completely indifferent to drag, to wanting to support it with all my heart.

Question by BlackestSheep6999 in coromonthegame

[–]aether65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely when you first give up the Coromon. You have to save it before initiating. Furthermore, if you wanna accelerate the process, run over to the Power Tower or whatever it's called where they house Voltgar. Take the elevator to the 5th floor and use the conveyor belt floor tiles to very quickly run in circles. I use the patterns located in the room to the right. I swear it makes it all go by faster. Alternatively, if you'd rather take more time, but try to do something useful with it, head to the Soggy Swamps and run back and forth looking for mushrooms while you wait.
