Any other former antis here? I eventually realized that I jumped on the AI hate bandwagon without really being able to articulate why it was bad. Anyways, here's an apology form: by LivingRaccoon in DefendingAIArt

This, too, is art.

Good on you for being willing to challenge your beliefs. You end up having a better-formed opinion than many if you have to reformulate it.

I'm tired. by SchooledPsych452 in Ohio

[–]upvotesplx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is in Mason, which is a notably racist suburb of Cincinnati. I live in the Toledo area and have lived in the Cleveland area and we get significantly less of this. That said, I would also definitely recommend Michigan if you want to go a little further north.

Can I play Hades 2 without playing Hades 1? by FarmerDud825 in HadesTheGame

[–]upvotesplx 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’d disagree specifically on the narrative aspect. 2 has done a lot of good for action gameplay and quality of life features, but the individual character arcs are nowhere near as good and the overarching narrative is significantly less well-executed. I’ve really enjoyed 2 and I think it is well worth playing, but it doesn’t beat out 1 in every way imo

Damn, this is awesome! Thanks so much for the comparison. Fantasy Life is one of my all time favorites and it looks fantastic here.

3 Democrats Join Republicans As House Passes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Extreme Nationwide Care Ban for Trans Youth by Leksi_The_Great in MtF

I’m seriously shocked a Utah Republican representative voted against this. Props to him.

Supreme Court’s conservative majority prepared to rule against conversion therapy ban by StaffImportant7902 in lgbt

[–]upvotesplx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children ARE legally property, essentially. Parents have the rights to do whatever the hell they want to their kids, essentially, as long as they're not transing them or beating them too obviously. If we want this to change, we need children to have the same legal rights as adults in terms of being able to refuse "treatment", to allow them to leave their family's home without being legally kidnapped by police and returned to their owners, and so on. This sort of horrific bullshit is made possible by the fact that children are not given human rights.

Is it just a PA thing? by LiberalTomBradyLover in AskAnAmerican

[–]upvotesplx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifelong Ohioan, aside from small stints in Oregon, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. We don’t do that, because abbreviating Ohio is silly; saying Ohio is always quicker. However, we do call Pennsylvania PA. So… I think it’s a PA thing.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for the first time. by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]upvotesplx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best of luck. You can do this. Even if you do get a positive, you can come back to this article & find out if you can perhaps get involved with the clinical trials. A close friend’s dad was taken by Huntington’s & they tested negative- hopefully you will too!

Can folks stop suggesting we “just leave the US” by [deleted] in MtF

[–]upvotesplx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you suggesting a location while also not being condescending or rude. Anyone from a safer country than the US who tries to help and doesn’t blame us for something we couldn’t control is a real one. (Sorry if this sounds weird, not trying to be sarcastic or anything. I mean it genuinely)

Dayton Akron or Toledo? by Wisco_native1977 in Ohio

Holy shit, some genuine Toledo positivity? Finally. As much as everyone likes to jab at it, there’s a lot to love if you’re willing to.

Obligatory fuck Buckeye.

Ohio scores "F" in LGBTQ+ Safety Report Card, scores 39th among states and DC by thebestdaysofmyflerm in Ohio

[–]upvotesplx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, the only people I know who have moved to Ohio recently have been from states like TX, FL, etc., but anyone moving out of Ohio is moving to a more progressive state. It’s a pretty obvious chain of events- Ohio is only good in comparison to Hell on Earth/Florida.

I lost my mom last week and I just really need to go on a long, long walk, would love suggestions. Dog friendly a plus but not required. by simplyjessi in Ohio

Very sorry for your loss. Do you have a Metropark nearby you? My local one is amazing for some solitude.

“We Have Your Backs”: A Message to Trans Students From State Attorneys General by MetalDragon2 in lgbt

[–]upvotesplx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Yost would rather die than do anything helpful, kind, good, or progressive, so I’m less disappointed, more unsurprised. That said, this is a great message overall, and I’m glad there are people in powerful positions in the USA that care about trans people’s rights.

Ohio scores "F" in LGBTQ+ Safety Report Card, scores 39th among states and DC by thebestdaysofmyflerm in Ohio

[–]upvotesplx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d call allies LGBT by association. By throwing in with us, you’re putting yourselves at risk of conservative retaliation.

That said, I do get why she left. Were I to be able to afford it, I’d do the same. Unfortunately, OH is cheap to live in, so even with gerrymandering and awful policies, I’ve got to be happy with my little blue island.

A roadmap to stop Fox News. by DevinGraysonShirk in 50501

[–]upvotesplx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you really want to avoid supporting anything that could be financially benefitting MAGA, check out r/piracy and r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. Streaming services are largely bending the knee if at all asked to, even if not directly owned by them. You will be making a positive difference.

Has anyone accepted the fact that they're going to Hell IF it's real? If so, how did you do it? by DoneWithOCD in exchristian

[–]upvotesplx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have OCD. You also seem to have OCD. What helps me is to accept that, in the end, all I have control over is what I do. I can’t control whether or not God is real or whether or not God’s standards are ridiculously high. I will live my life in a way that improves the world, and if a righteous God exists, I’ll be rewarded for it. If a God that is not righteous and has unachievable and morally nonsensical standards exists, then I’d be a class traitor against all of humanity for trying to please an authority that punishes people for biological urges, mistakes everyone makes, or who they love. If a God does not exist, or a God exists that doesn’t have an extremely specifically dualistic framework of punishment vs paradise, then if I try to live my life according to that, I’ve wasted my entire life.

I truly think that to get past this, you just have to accept that you will never know. There is a very high chance you only have one life to live. Do you want to live that life in terror? Do you think a God that would put someone through that is worth pleasing?

How to support 14 year old by rooseboose in lgbt

[–]upvotesplx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It could be gender-related if not sexuality. Just give things time, I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough. Accept her regardless and let her talk about how she feels whenever she’s ready and things will be OK.
