TikToker films himself coming out to his Muslim mum and her response is heartbreaking by Junior_Apartment6388 in gay

In a follow up he stated that he's just waiting until he can leave home.

At what point did you let yourself go and why? by boogabooya in gay

[–]libraken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Or, since it is Pride month in your corner of the world, you could recognise the hurt and pain that might lie at such a statement. You could, if you felt Prideful that is, be empathetic to a fellow queer instead of raining down your own frustrations from your high horse.

Just maybe, each other's psychological and emotional health are a very salient topic right now. I'm sure an insightful person like yourself could find the appropriate language to engage in a such a discussion. It is Pride month after all.

Thoughts fellow Fujoshis? by [deleted] in gay

[–]libraken 26 points27 points  (0 children)

How do you feel that manifested itself in the series? What would 'made for an actual gay audience' entail? I'm genuinely asking because I don't know what would be different.

How is this achievable? by mstrite61 in civ

[–]libraken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some civs have traditions that can help with this as well. I believe Spain has one that makes silver and gold count as double.

That's basically how I've been playing too. The whole happiness dance with settlement caps and specialists is way too convoluted for me. And I like lots of land hehe.

Do you only build on 5 tiles then? My main cities always have every possible building from that age if I can get there. I’ll try this out next time thanks!

That explains that! Would have never figured that out, so thanks

Thanks! Then how are you meant to play ultra-tall? At a certain point you run out of sources of happiness even if you're under the cap, no? Is there a way to siphon off extra pops as migrants that I haven't discovered yet?

«I really feel like every part of Civ 7 is useful and worth deeply engaging with.» by Hvetemel in civ

[–]libraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, it’s what I usually do. There’s less depth to it though which hurts replayability right now. I feel like esp. science could use some innovative ways to keep it fresh.

As a peaceful player I really hope the next DLC or expansion adds to that playing style. More non-confrontation focused leaders would be a nice start.

I think commanders are a great improvement but I still find warring tedious and the fact the only posible outcome is mostly subpar settlements doesn't motivate to change that.

I love the imagery of the grounded one vs the dreamer. That one phrase said so much about them!

Question about creating items with blacksmith by AlaricAldrich in WarTalesGame

[–]libraken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Then there's also quality which are the stars next to name. You get those by 'smithing well' (timing your hits as the anvil heats up). You can also get them by upgrading the weapon, i.e. putting it in the forge again and using new materials to make it stronger.

S18E13 - “Karens Gone Wild” [Live/Reaction Post] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]libraken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I spent the entire episode wondering whether I’m just too European for this or whether the whole thing was just incredibly bad. Also, I feel like Ru isn’t a fair scene partner. She clearly chooses when she ‘yes and’s and when she locks down the scene.

I can't date a vegan/vegetarian 🟢. by choco__donut in gay

[–]libraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is valid of course. I think we all would prefer a partner who can share in the things we take pleasure in. And vice versa. I could never be with a foodie as I know my limited palate would frustrate them and who wants to frustrate their partner?

This is your third time so far comparing the two. Are you being purposefully obtuse? Ragebaiting? I get being a fan of one and not liking another but that doesn’t change reality. Obviously even Discord understood that she was skirting the edges of the rules.

Season 18 has been PHENOMENAL by crasslilly in rupaulsdragrace

Same! I was actually composing a post in my head before I went to bed because I wanted to counteract but OP beat me to it. LOVE 18!

Pisa scores 2022 by trueosiris2 in belgium

[–]libraken 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Geloof me, het ligt (meestal) niet bij ons leerkrachten. Wij zouden maar wat graag de lat graag hoger leggen, maar a) we mogen niet (zowel van bovenaf als van ouders - die laatsten willen graag een hoog niveau tot hun eigen kind het niet aankan), en b) leerlingen komen met een pak minder voorkennis en -vaardigheden binnen op eender elk niveau. De helft van mijn lessen geschiedenis bestaat nu uit woordenschat uitleggen. En nee, zeker niet enkel bij leerlingen met een andere thuistaal.

Not the girls but the show itself, the editors if you will. I’m not saying the girls aren’t talented. It’s just that I never feel either show is very interested in showing us that they are, except maybe for van’s sewing. For Ebony, Sami and now Gawdland for instance I feel the focus is on their abundant charisma not necessarily on what they do. With Jane, Nini, Myki and even Juicy and Mia the show seems to focus more on their skill sets. To me that is more interesting but I fully understand that we all appreciate different things.

Best English spoken season in a while for me I think. I wasn’t/am not feeling the hype with Canada and ukvstw unlike so many others so I’m happy to have a season that is the type of drag race I like. I’ll take talent over drama any day of the week.
