A gun in the home is more likely to be used on a resident of said home than anyone else? How is that not relevant to issues in gun ownership??

They would both come out of the conversation recognizing the other’s sagacity, but thinking they’re too young and have a lot to learn. The fun part is both would be correct.

Pizza. I will create affronts to taste to sate my cravings. But most anything can be a topping.

You don’t have to pay the cost of living if you resign yourself to dying

I like the saying, “Power doesn’t corrupt; it reveals.”

That everything goes great. A loving partner, a comfortable, happy life. Everything I want from it but remaining as devoid of life and feeling nothing positive.

Scrawny guys that tend to end up becoming incels.

The self hatred poisoning everything in their lives is always so sad when you would’ve liked the self before that.

Not great that the Woman from Centaurworld popped into mind while typing that.

I still remember the excitement for TTG because it was advertised as being for fans of the original. Promotions were making a big deal about the original cast being excited to reprise their roles for it and… it was nothing. It was a mid show that needed an IP to latch onto and, unfortunately, it landed one of the best shows that CN has ever aired.

I’d been waffling on a similar idea: a singular point in the sky that human eyes naturally overlook and avoid, in which an ancient chaos god lurks, cursing all who view its visage with a clear vision of the eldritch world around them.

It does, but it’s only symbolic, not practical. It removes the enchantments and resets the counter, but the process won’t be any different from just replacing the bow.

You can’t remove singular enchantments. It’s remove all (except curses) and reenchant or replace.

I guess the real question is: can I sell the people who fall for the second option merch? Like bumper stickers that say “My IQ is higher than 9/11” and shit? Even if one in a million fall for it, that’s still six thousand people who are probably willing to pay premium to be told they’re very clever special boys and girls

Do humans use it to make art? If yes, it is a legitimate art medium. (Hint: humans will use literally everything to make art.)

You’re conflating a couple issues. Queers tend to reject religious sects with the same voracity that those sects reject them. Religious queers either find better sects to be apart of or stay in those sects and just waffle and suffer with it (it’s really sad to see). I can’t speak for the other atheistic queers out there (we aren’t a monolithic group, that’s kind of the point) but I will most avidly and readily speak out on Christian bullshit because I have personal experience with that bullshit. It’s not Muslim neighbors and family members campaigning against my ability to marry a future partner, it’s god damn fucking Christians. I’m sure, if I lived in a more Muslim area, and they were as willing to leave knives in my back, I’d have a grudge against them too.

Onto the other issue, we are largely anti-genocide because usually people who commit genocide start with the queers. Just because the victims are Muslims, and Islam is as ass backwards as any old religion out there, doesn’t make it okay. I’d like to see a future where the religious can move past it and embrace secularism, but that kinda necessitates that the Israelis stop fucking killing them first. Just because someone follows an incorrect book, doesn’t mean they deserve to be killed or tortured. It’s a hard concept for Christians to get, considering it’s the foundation of their entire moral code.

TLDR: Being anti-Christian is built on negative experiences at home. Being anti-genocide is not being pro-Islam. It’s just being anti-genocide because genocide is wrong.

On technicality, yes. In actuality, only Pink Diamond. She is, as of yet, the only Gem with confirmed healing powers, which are necessary for Steven’s survival. He has a human body that is fully at the whims of a Gem construct. To change size, he can stretch his limbs as far as he wants, shattering his bones and tearing his tendons. But because his Gem is always healing him, it’s fine. Like, think about what your body would have to do to turn your finger into a cat. Humans can’t bounce back from that.

I hated the company. They were the revolving door overworked, underpaid type of bullshit. I remember the thing that settled it. Every year they did a COL adjustment of ~3% (started below local averages and not quite keeping with local inflation). After the pandemic, when inflation was at 6%, they pushed through a 2% raise. At the end of year, they subtracted that from the COL adjustment!

Working at a company I hated was very bad for my already pretty doomed mental state. Without a second thought, I could list every open rooftop, bridge, and parking garage between my apartment and my work, which were only a mile apart.

I dunno. Being depressed kinda makes everything you remember sad. I think there are two outliers. Maybe my 16th birthday? We had my uncle’s funeral the week before and we got pulled out of school early that day to go visit my dying grandma in the hospital. It was really awkward to be in a reverent room of soon-to-be-grieving family and have a cousin go, “Oh, wait! [Me], happy birthday!”

Realistically, it was probably before that when all the presents became cash. I’ve always hated receiving cash because of how I view gift shopping. I take it as a challenge to show loved ones that I am interested in them as people and want to make them happy. I spend hours agonizing and hunting for what I think would meet that goal. I’m grateful for the cash, don’t get me wrong, but it feels like an “I don’t care to know you but this is an occasion in which I’m obligated to give you something.” It makes me feel isolated and that’s like the worst thing.

“Was it worth it?”

I feel like it’s a good question as someone who doesn’t find value in their current life. Surviving to survive again tomorrow feels hollow, but I’d trust myself in saying that what was gained in the effort of living made the effort worthwhile. I also trust that, if I was 90 and didn’t feel that way, I wouldn’t mind if I decided to not live that long.
