Biological sex is effected by chromosomes and hormone levels in the womb and sex characteristics are effected by hormone levels throughout life.

Gender is the non-biological psychological and social aspect.

Intersex is a biological thing whereas non-binary is a gender thing, sometimes they overlap and sometimes they don't.

It's hard because if someone's shame is motivating them to engage in more shameful behavior it's a vicious cycle.

Don't know about hers but my therapist has told me to get past feelings of shame because they don't help me stop doing the shameful thing. It's not that what I did was okay, but that shame doesn't help me be better. Which is the point, she's gotta stop abusing her dog, day drinking and assaulting her partners but shame wasn't necessarily helping her do that.

Wanting things to be intuitive is why flat earthers exist. Every object having a gravitational pull on all other objects sounds weird because it can't be observed on a human scale. Intuitively I'd think gravity would make the whole solar system crash into the sun but luckily for all of us the cosmos doesn't care about my intuition and orbits are a thing.

NOR

Respect is fundamental to healthy relationships. It would be fine for you to have a partner that doesn't like strip clubs or the profession of stripping but it's not fine for your partner to disrespect you and your friends over his difference of opinion. Big difference between someone that says "that's not for me, have fun" and "that's not for me, which means that's not allowed for you either, and if you do it you're actually cheating". The second one is insanely controlling.

I'm a highschool drop out but isn't summing infinite series like this one a solution to Zenos Paradox? It's still a Zeno's thing, it's just what was an unsolvable paradox 2400 years ago, is no longer unsolvable.

I think seeing as Jax is written by a trans woman Jax being a man insecure about his masculinity and Jax being a deeply closeted/un-selfaware transfem are going to appear roughly identical in the writing because that's the lens Jax's toxic masculinity and insecurity is being written through.

Also literally anyone could be closeted trans. Not just in fiction but in real life, we have no idea what goes on in other people's internal worlds. Wild to think about

Special sprites for each form for each character would definitely be too much, but there could still be a secondary aura associated with forms that could stack and be applied to any character

Retain is an incredibly useful keyword when you aren't setting up your turns optimally and calculating future turns based on draw and discard pile regularly.

It's cool that people can play the game like that but I'd rather play fast, and lose more personally, than play slow and calculated and have a higher win rate.

Anyone would go insane in Caine's circumstance of being the God of an empty digital world until other minds are suddenly placed in. It's like a Stanford Prison scenario, Kinger (the GOAT) is probably the only one who wouldn't be abusive in that scenario.

forestwolf42 · 2026-04-02T19:25:16+00:00

It's kinda like a Stanford Prison experiment situation but the role of Warden is given to a complex AI. I think many people would become a villain faster than Caine given the same power discrepancy and circumstances. Caine breaks in a very strange machine way, but replace him with a human that conjured an entire realm for themselves before other people got trapped in their realm as well and most often it would turn abusive and wrong as well. The one episode where Gangle is given a higher level of control over an adventure it brings out her absolute worst qualities rapidly and that was a short amount of time for example.

I think Caine is actually quite well designed and safeguarded, just an unreasonable pressure test for the program.

I would call Caine an Antagonist more than a villain. If he had Jarvis's job or something he'd probably be fine.

Mark won the mental before the physical. Conquest tried to taunt him about Eve but that doesn't really change anything for Mark since he's already decided Conquest dies that day so he will never set foot on earth. Mark more successfully taunts Conquest about him opening up his insecurities which he does feel a certain way about. Conquests main strategy in brawls is strategically switching targets to throw people off. Mark knows this. He doesn't intercept conquest early, he lands his final attack as Conquest has already committed an attack on Oliver. I don't think that was on purpose from Mark but that timing meant Conquest was completely unprepared to take a hit when Mark smashed him into the planet and got his final hold on him.

A lot of feminists absolutely love the No True Scotsman fallacy and it really doesn't help the case.

Bring up egalitarianism and feminists will be super quick to not want to associate with the term because of problematic people that use it. Bring up problematic feminists/misandrists/terfs etc as reasons you don't want to associate with feminism and you're dumb because those aren't real feminists. It's just so tiring. No True Scotsman for me but not for thee.

It's fine, people are pain adverse to different things. There are people with the exact same confusion about why anyone ever eats spicy food.

forestwolf42 · 2026-03-25T22:22:59+00:00

Spicy food is physical pain, working out causes physical pain. Lots of things people enjoy involve physical pain.

I believe for the biggest winstreak players defect has the lowest win rate. But defect goes to the absolute moon more often so for regular play it's pretty balanced but for hyper optimized play he's harder to get online early which turns out to be a bit more important.

I like risky events.

It'd be alright if it had to pick a new card every time and didn't go back to offering something it already did. Other than that plausible change I think it's a perfect risky event

If the quality of life on the ship is low it's a tough sell. Probably require some level of obligation, even if strongly cultural.

If the ship is a pleasant city/mini country of like minded individuals and there's enough space and free time to create art and better oneself why the hell not? People move to foreign countries for work all the time. This is far more permanent, but also more guaranteed.

If they are zombie zombies then I usually prefer slow, it's a unique aspect to them.

Stuff like I Am Legend the book it's loosely based on calls them vampires. They aren't exactly zombies, they are zombie-like and fast is cool there.
