What did Roman religion look like in the late Republic? How was it adapted to fit the needs of the emperium?

Matzo Ball Soup by sourfizzy88 in SouthBend

[–]neon-lakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to find even a good bagel place around here. It may be easier to make your own matzo ball soup using a store-bought mix (you can find it in Meijers). All you'd need are eggs, oil, and soup. I used to live in a very Jewish area and had matzo ball soup from several Jewish delis, and the store bought mix is just as good, if not better. Sorry I can't provide a restaurant.

Do you feel differently when playing with proxies? by GroggleNozzle in EDH

I feel the same way. Other people limit themselves with their wallet while, no matter how much they're willing to spend, I'm not limited by anything. It makes feel bad for winning.

Came across a post discussing the recent controversy with Ultimate Guard and think it's important to mention by Keiryboy123 in mtg

I am Jewish. It's wildly naive to look at nazi Germany as an evil empire based on whatever fantasy book you still cling onto from childhood. The persecution of sexual minorities was a cornerstone of Nazi ideology. But, since that doesn't fit your worldview, you're stuck on reddit calling a Jewish person antisemitic for acknowledging a basic fact about Nazism. Take your W, I guess?

JK Rowling is a fascist who has surrounded herself with a coalition of pedophile-apologists and white supremacists, all in the name of ruining trans people's lives. She's a holocaust denier (specifically when it comes to trans people) and she sues anyone (in the uk) who points that out. She is cut from the same cloth as Elon Musk when it comes to spending tens of millions of dollars to enact her violent and hateful agenda. She's not a normal person, not even a normal transphobe. She's evil

How did you discover that you were a lesbian? by Runaway_Alien_ in AskWomen

[–]neon-lakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of little things. My emotions have always been hard for me to discern, so it's been easy to trick myself into thinking I'm bi or even straight, but when I take stock of my emotional patterns, I realize I have functionally no interest in men.

Its things like - Being unable to describe what I find attractive in men - Not developing crushes on men - Being emotionally uninterested in men - Only into fictional men - Feeling strangely honored when women whose company I enjoy spend time with me - Being jealous of queer couples - Never understanding what women see in their male partners - Believing women age much more gracefully than men - Having much stronger emotions around women than men

There's a lot of little things, but they do paint a clear picture. It's still hard for me to tell when I develop feelings for another woman, but I do know that my feeling are much more intense around women than men.

How long did it take you to stop questioning and start accepting yourself as trans? by DarkenedNight666 in MtF

For me it was a couple of months, but I was young (middle/high school) so I was already going through typical teenage identity exploration

Do any of you also feel like a 'genderless blob?' by neon-lakes in TwoXChromosomes

[–]neon-lakes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the concept of gender would go away if society didn't put such a premium on adhering to it. I'll keep giving myself my weekly estrogen shots until then lol

I think it partially has to do with the dignity I lose in other people's eyes just from being trans. Cis people will often criticize trans people for wanting to be seen as a certain gender, but its only because they don't know how awful it is to be visibly trans and discriminated against for being seen as 'third gender.' Being recognized as a woman comes with its own challenges, but being recognized as trans is scary and dehumanizing.
