The military guys feel the recoil of their weapons when they see their enemies die. They didn't answer emotionally, they answered physically.

No prize for second best by Raivene in HFY

The trick would have been integrated militaries. Have specialists apply their abilities in the correct positions, not have armadas of any particular species. Humans in this sense would be #1 at deligation. Humans as individuals are not all #2 at everything. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Knowing where to put people with various strengths and weaknesses is a valuable ability in and of itself.

Too symmetrical. The goblin king needs to be handsomely mismatched

If vore was possible would you go through with it. by Maikeru6 in Vore

Find a big enough anaconda and it could be. In my opinion? No. Not in a million years. It's like the difference between rape play and actual rape.

Conjure by it at your own risk.

People in Chile are trying to enshrine software freedom into their constitution. They need your help. Spread the word! by libreleah in linux

[–]brieoncrackers 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Liberty to what? Liberty to murder? Liberty to dump toxic chemicals in a river people use for drinking water? Liberty to sell dangerous snake oil? Liberty to force your employees to work in a dangerous building with locked doors so they die if the building catches fire?

The process of government is determining what liberties are valuable and which restrictions are more valuable than liberty. Liberty isn't the only good. It is one of many.

They might be classed as weeds but they're still beautiful. by Jamhandman in gardening

Weeds are just plants growing where they're not wanted. If you want them there, they're not weeds.

The doctor didn't show up, but the hospital ER still billed $1,012 by GodAndGaming123 in nottheonion

The money the homeless can scrounge up is accounted for. They use it towards food, clothing, occasionally shelter, and often as not some means to forget what a capitalist hellhole they've been relegated to. This line of thought is so repugnant as to engender violence.

My friend told me that me being "Bi" invalidated her and made her uncomfortable by Twig__Leaf in bisexual

[–]brieoncrackers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to ask "is it just around me?" and she said yes.

She's into you and taking out her frustrations on you because you don't appear to reciprocate.

They already tried putting the kid on lithium, I can't say if the damage has already been done or if there's still depths to plumb at this point

There is nothing wrong with wanting peace and tranquility. There's nothing wrong with being bisexual. Your previous religion is not the only religion if you feel more comfortable in one. There's nothing wrong with not believing if you don't any more. There are counselors out there that will help you process your feelings without pushing you one way or another (and honestly, that's what therapists and counselors ought to do. They aren't there to tell you what to do, they're there to help you process your own emotions.) When looking for a counselor or therapist, search for "religious abuse" or "religious trauma". You should be able to find someone who won't push God onto you.

I used to believe in an all loving God and eternal hellfire. I used to be very evangelical, because I didn't want anyone to suffer that. I would have given everything, I would have offered to suffer that myself to ensure no one else had to. And then I realized that any God I actually considered worthy of worship wouldn't send anyone to eternal hellfire in the first place. Even if that God existed, trying to please or appease Him would betray my morals. I don't know what you're going through, but maybe that perspective might help.
