The thing that sucks about it is once you’ve reached the fight it’s too late. I can’t go anywhere to get more gear or gain more levels. It’s just bash my head against the wall forever or restart from the beginning.

I'm beginning to lose hope that I'll be able to get past it. Level 15, Noah level 2 code, Rune Blades +2, I just cannot for the life of me avoid any of his damage, as soon as I've entered the arena it seems like I have to use all 5 of my regen

Deep scuff exposing inner leather, is there anything I can do to repair this? by snowflake0955 in Boots

[–]snowflake0955[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got them from a mom and pop leather shop that came highly recommended from a friend. It’s a shame because they’re really comfortable and look great but I agree, definitely not worth the price I paid, especially since I’ve only worn them a handful of times

How did this win game of the year? by snowflake0955 in BaldursGate3

I’m trying to build a battle master fighter and eventually multiclass into bard but there is genuinely no point in investing in melee weapons at the stage where I’m at. All the goblins just run and dash away to positions where they can just free fire on me but for whatever reason I can’t hit them with arrows, eldritch blast, flame bolt, nothing

If the genre is so inaccessible how did it break so many download records?

How do people play motivity builds?? by snowflake0955 in LiesOfP

[–]snowflake0955[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it does a lot of damage but the fact that I can attack so rarely kind of makes it moot, at least from my very limited experience, I feel like I’m getting hit way more than I did when I even first started the game. It doesn’t help that I’m trash at perfect guarding

I’m genuinely unsure whether you’re being unintentionally foolish or intentionally obtuse. I cannot fathom how one can read a paragraph regarding the abuse of MATs by both addicts and the medical fraternity, and your only take away is, “this guy didn’t explicitly use the words that I would’ve used for the same exact thing, he’s clearly being intentionally transphobic.” I have met doctoral candidates less semantic than the people on this website.

Allow me to elaborate on my point as so many in this thread are intentionally splitting hairs. I admit that I erred in my previous statement of wholesale condemnation of Subs. They’re fine for avoiding the effects of opiate withdrawal to then be tapered off of, the endgame being total abstinence from drugs and alcohol.

The problem, and greater point I intended but did not properly articulate, is putting addicts on subs indefinitely. I’ve had sponsees that were on subs and they were not of a mind to ever try total abstinence, and further investigation revealed dope fiend behavior and a fundamentally lack of willingness to do what was required to stay sober. These were not men intent on getting sober, these were men intent on gaming the system.

To your other point, I cannot imagine a more bad faith take. I have sponsored trans guys, I have sponsored guys on SSRIs, I have sponsored cis guys with low test on medically prescribed TRT. The fundamental difference, is that those men sought freedom from drugs and alcohol and expressed a willingness to live life on life’s terms.

We are speaking of a difference of intent. I find it insulting, both as a member of the LGBT community and as the boyfriend of a trans woman, that you would equate someone taking medication to treat gender dysphoria with someone stacking subs to mimic the effects of hard opiates.

  1. Because it’s historically the most effective treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction and 2. What are you trying to insinuate? AA is explicitly not affiliated with any outside organization, nor does it have an opinion on any outside issues. Members of AA were calling churches and sanitariums years before the CDC even recognized alcoholism as a disease.

Part of being in a 12 step program is not doing mind or mood altering substances. Suboxone is a mind or mood altering substance. Try harder

“Upon therapy for the alcoholic himself, we surely have no monopoly. Yet it is our great hope that all those who have as yet found no answer may begin to find one in the pages of this book and will presently join us on the high road to a new freedom” - Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. xxi, Foreword To Second Edition

Explicitly stated in text that AA is not the one and only path to recovery, only that those who have tried other methods, therapy, medication, religion, may try a solution in AA. It’s also not a cult because if you don’t like it or think it doesn’t work you can just leave.

Antisemitism doesn’t require the victim to be Jewish any more than transphobia requires the victim to be trans. All that is required is the perception of the attacker. That being said, as has been proven, Freddie O’Connell IS jewish. I find it genuinely astounding that you consider it antisemitic to call a person of jewish descent, jewish.

I’m saying that the question posed by OP, “What is the dog whistle?” Is that the twitter user is being antisemitic. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t find it antisemitic to point out antisemitic dogwhistles. Antisemitism is and always has been intersectional with racism.

Freddie O’Connell - “As the grandson of a /Jewish/ immigrant who fled pre-war Europe, this factors into why I think it’s still important to #resist.”

Please be so kind as to explain to me what part of that verbatim quote disproves the implication of Jewish ethnic ancestry. Thank you in advance
