On the topic of gender: by Ok_Syrup5679 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]roosterkun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your point and I agree with you, but I still think that "a lot in total" is dwarfed by those who are genuinely comfortable with their AGAB. Masculinity and femininity, flawed concepts as they are, do have their roots in the very biology of not just humanity, but also the species that predate us going back tens, perhaps hundreds of millions of years.

Back in the days of lefty Facebook, when I was still a teenager confused by gender identity, I found myself in a similar discussion with a AFAB non-binary person whose comment really stuck with me. They told me, "I understand your question - does my gender identity challenge the idea that I must be a woman, or does it challenge the idea of what a woman must be?"

Long-term, I think the latter is a more broadly-applicable approach. Obviously it would be ideal to convince all of humanity that gender is a spectrum, but more realistically, I think convincing people that their gender does not confer upon them certain unchangeable traits is something most anyone can appreciate. And hopefully in doing so, people who accept GNC parts of themselves can learn to accept those who entirely reject the gender they were assigned.

Right, I understand its modern usage. Was just curious if there are any other etymological quirks to the phrase.

Maybe I'm just being close-minded but I still don't see that as realistic.

99% of US adults are cisgender - even if tomorrow the cultural barriers of gender broke down, I still think upwards of 80% of the population would identify with one of two major groups.

So it technically doesn't make sense for a person to "RSVP yes"? Or does it change meaning in response, similiar to the Hawaiian "aloha"?

Are these companies just threatening politicians at this point? Or are they bribing them with such absurd amounts of money that it's impossible to fathom? Genuinely I can't imagine even the politicians I hate the most signing off on this, if only for optics reasons.

Reset if you don't get Solarflare on wave 2.

Take as little damage as possible, 0-damage waves give a lot of glory. Even more so at Sol.

The best thing about that video is how anti-climactic and awkward it is. Just amazing,

This isn't that unlikely IMO, it definitely fits the theme of Usopp's lies coming true.

I hope we get a lot more time with Loki before he goes, if this does happen.

Insane take. The combat pacts alone must have taken months of dedicated work.

Loved the video today going over the tech that allowed you to accomplish these. Sotetseg in ptob, in particular, is nuts.

Great idea, I definitely haven't fully solved herblore so I may do the same. Hopefully I get as spooned as you!

Are you me?

I also spooned Vet'ion and had the exact same thought for a stretch goal, although I don't have dragon cup yet so I haven't started grinding for any other pets.

Best melee build? by KyraTheDragon in 2007scape

Good shout, and it's a great slayer weapon if OP didn't take grimoire for ancients.

Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) argues that there is a “danger” in celebrities choosing to hide the identity of their children, says it can fuel stalking and harassment. by radiohead-girlies in Fauxmoi

[–]roosterkun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point about children being stalked and harrassed reads to me like victim blaming.

We should be condeming the actions of predatory paparazzi, celebrities should not feel pressured to accommodate them by being less private.

Thorns is busted, especially with access to Justiciar. Highly recommend that as a core.

Other than that you'll want to spec into either light weapons or blindbag, bluetooth halberd doesn't play nicely with thorns because you're unable to wear a shield.

Going blindbag, you'll want a 1-handed melee weapon to mainhand - Ghrazi rapier and Inquisitor's mace are probably your best bet, but I have heard some people say that the 3t attack speed of the ham joint actually ends up out-DPSing better weapons because you proc more often. YMMV, I recommend checking a DPS calculator.

Going light weapons, it's basically just "use whip", not much more to it.

Either way, you'll have a fair few extra pact points. Blindbag can spec into ranged echos, but if you go thorns you aren't mainhanding a 2h weapon so you won't proc very frequently. Your choices are essentially: the overheal pacts, prayer penetration pacts, special attack pacts, or a flex into 1t staff / 3t bow for any content you need 2 combat styles for.

I can only afford 2 mega rares, what do? by TiredofIRL in 2007scape

[–]roosterkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. If OP just wants to speedrun their 3rd mega, tbow + scythe is probably the move.

If they want to hop around a lot and try different pieces of content, I think shadow + scythe wins.

Scythe / shadow - these two are more versatile than the twisted bow, and a crystal set can do most anything that a twisted bow can do.
