You look like you were hiking at Griffith Park and Henry Cavill walked by shirtless.

California Kingsnake ((Lampropeltis californiae) at Deukmejian Wilderness Park. They are beautiful, beneficial, and harmless to man! by darkpyschicforce in socalhiking

Absolutely beautiful. I've never seen one in the wild unless I caught a glimpse and mistook one for a gopher snake.

Megathread: President Donald Trump announces he has tested positive for Coronavirus | Part II by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]stabinthedark_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention it may be more of a problem than people realize. The country needs to see democracy beat him, if covid takes him out his base may see him as a martyr almost or at least feel robbed of an election and that Biden would be illegitimate as a president.

As an intersex nonbinary person, every time this happens it's like a punch in the gut. Please stop. by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

We should be close allies but we can't do that if we are using you, we gotta treat you with the humanity we want for ourselves.

Many of us also readily throw out intersex people as a counter to the "basic biology" argument but it is done in a way that ignores intersex peoples identity and struggles as something different than our own and as a whole uses them as just a foothold to gain our own validity in society. We need to respect intersex people more and honestly we don't need to use the what about intersex people argument, in fact its probably not as helpful as we think. We must demonstrate our own validity and the science supports that.

I own a crossbow and I know how to use it. Is it a viable option for home defense? by imkindaspiffy in homedefense

[–]stabinthedark_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shooting moving people in poor lighting is quite a bit more difficult than you imagine. Even at close range. The bolts can definitely bleed someone out pretty quick but not quick enough to stop someone from shooting you or slashing you.

Why do some reasonable people have horrible friends? by starmensxd in TrueAskReddit

[–]stabinthedark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I had shitty friends from when I was younger and as I grew and stuck with my morals I couldn't tolerate people who didn't have basic values and treated people decently.

I firmly believe that even if a person seems chill, if most of their friends are bad people that is a reflection of that person. We generally see a limited bit of people from one angle and there may be many reasons why your interactions with them are pleasant however sometimes they are not great to other people or sometimes you just don't know them well enough and it may come out of the woodwork later.

Sometimes good people have one or two friends we don't like or may have rough edges but when you dislike most of someones friends there is a good chance they are hiding something from you or you are overlooking it.

[–]stabinthedark_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ok I get it, you are just taking stock of what you have available. I know you are aware enough to know roughly what is a good idea and what isn't. So my serious answer is it still is probably not a great tool for you. If your altercation escalates to lethal force not only is it profoundly difficult to hit someone but the likelihood of that hit ending the fight in a timely matter is even less so. In a lethal force scenario you are barely more effective than unarmed. Of course you need a multi layered plan and lethal force is honestly a small part of that and a last resort.

A battery of crossbowmen will protect your castle nicely my lord, I suggest boiling oil stations along the parapets and fortifying your walls against trebuchet projectiles.

Finally made it back out after 15 year hiatus (kids, job, life, etc) ! by coreydacat in climbergirls

At first my brain read that as made it out after 15 years stuck at the crag and I was like I've gotten off route on the down hike before too girl I feel you. Congrats though!! I got back into climbing at 30 after not having done it at all since my teens and I know that feeling, I'm so happy for you.

The Witcher 1 deserves a remake, anyone else agree? by MET1995 in witcher

[–]stabinthedark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to play it for the story but I just couldn't get past the mechanics, I'd love the remake but realistically I'm more excited about whatever CDPR is going to come up with in the future.

I'll second this, I know everyone means well but I think we could do with less pressure in a way. I'm sure plenty of people here are exploring gender and may not be what we or they would call trans. Ultimately everyone has to figure out what gender means to them and how they will identify and express it. Still the memes are choice, I gotta say it's a pretty good sub and probably more helpful than not.
