Honestly, out of all of DS2's problems, fixing this one alone would make the game a lot more tolerable.
You're right. Words like "I" are gender neutral.
For that reason, speaking in the third person like Bot is doing doesn't make sense to me (as a trans person myself). I can't think of any motive for someone to want others to constantly refer to them in the third person... Except for one, but it's controversial in some communities haha.
Looking at Bot's comment history, they only decided to speak in the third person today, while the rest of their account's comments are written normally. Do with that information what you will.
Fextralife has always been the worst of the game wikis. One thing they all have in common is the formatting is garbage and nearly 100% of the articles have a ridiculous amount of redundant information.
I can't speak for all of the From Software games, but for Dark Souls 1 I can say for certain that the wiki had a lot of articles that were just straight up wrong. Whoever is in charge of moderating edits or writing articles is...not great.
I don't need to read the article, the answer is capitalism.
Who ever said they were gonna "stop real artists from making art"?
Well, one instance of it was on their main account, so it doesn't matter that much. (Sry about the SC quality)
I wasn't the one who issued the ban so I can't say for sure, but IIRC the reasoning was that both accounts spoke in Drag's unique way. That and by all appearances the account seems to have been made specifically to harass a user Drag was beefing with at the time.
The "trolling" ban wasn't over neopronouns, it was for encouraging suicide on an alt account. Multiple times.
Also encouraging violence.
Me rn because I have carpel tunnel in my wrist. u_u Now if I could just find a transmasc king to live with.
Not really. The "funny" parts were all speculation and jokes from the public. The whole thing is actually kinda sad.
After losing to Hans, Magnus suspected he was cheating so he withdrew from the tournament and released a statement implying Hans was cheating. (Which isn't an unfounded claim, because Hans admitted to cheating in a tournament when he was 12, and again in a casual match when he was 16). That led people to ask how you cheat without a phone/computer... And that led to the vibrating anal beads meme.
So now everyone knows Hans as the anal beads guy, and everyone wonders if he's still a cheater. The accusation did irreparable damage to his reputation and mental health.
Personally, I doubt he was cheating. I'm sure Magnus has a more analytical view of the match, but not even Chess.com can prove he cheated, so... IMO the case against him can't be all that substantial. To me, it seems like he was probably being a sore loser and used his power in the chess world to leave permanent scars on his opponent's career.
Edit: I mixed up Magnus for Hikaru 😬 But iirc they were both making similar implicit accusations.
What's crazy to me is how much cheaper alcohol is. I'm saving money by sacrificing my insides :3
The golden, dome-shaped object was discovered in the Gulf of Alaska during an NOAA expedition and after bringing it to the surface, scientists still have no idea what it is.
I just want somewhere that won't even show me new episodes until an unghosted version is released. I primarily watch anime for the animation, so blurred and darkened frames really ruin it for me.
(TL;DR): I love being terrified, and this has led me to a fascination with imagining being a witness to / a victim of various tragedies. Is that weird?
---
The earliest example I can remember of wanting to know what it was like to be a victim of a tragedy was when I first learned what happened on 9/11. We were visiting my grandma, and she was watching a documentary about it. That's the first time I had seen the footage and heard an explanation of it all, and I was still a child (like way too young to be processing what I was seeing), but I was fascinated by it. Even after everyone had left the room to hang out on the porch, I stayed in the living room to watch more. I wanted to know everything, but most of all I wanted to know what it was like to be there. Both as a witness and a victim.
To this day, I would pay good money to get hooked up to something like Roy from Rick and Morty so I could safely experience it without knowing I was safe. And I'd like to choose as many perspectives as I want. From the hijackers, to the people on the directly impacted floors, the people on floors adjacent to the impact, the people who jumped, the people who were outside and witnessed the crashes and collapses, the people who were trapped on the upper floors and remained inside during the collapse...
Besides 9/11, others at the top of the list are things like mass shootings, earthquakes and other natural disasters, catastrophic workplace accidents (mostly explosions), the sinking of the Titanic, Hiroshima/nuclear testing sites, other war related events, various atrocities committed by/against mankind (like the torture committed by the CIA against people suspected of being involved in the 9/11 attacks), the Heaven's Gate mass suicide, a significant portion of Charles Manson's life... It's a mix of wanting the experience and curiosity about the stories/information that never made it into public knowledge.
I don't have a death wish or anything, it's just for some reason I have a fascination with terror. I love getting sleep paralysis and having nightmares, and I feel a weird sense of catharsis when I wake up and realize I'm safe. My favorite ones are when I'm utterly convinced I'm going to die. Even as a kid I loved terrifying shows (like Courage the Cowardly Dog and Mr.Meaty), and as a teenager it evolved into broader consumption of surrealist art, and then I started watching Live Leak videos where I got a more realistic sense of terror. I watched all of the Bjork stalker's tapes, which, if you aren't familiar, they end with him shooting himself after mailing a letter bomb to her. Knowing he filmed his suicide was what piqued my interest, but I also wanted to get into his head so I started from tape #1.
How weird is all of this? Any psychological explanations/speculations about why I'm like this? (And are there any other subs I should ask this in?)
Unusual kind of post but still religious cringe:
After I finished helping someone I said "have a good day" and walked away, but then she said "you see no god?" Which was confusing before I realized what she was talking about lol. After a second I said "oh yeah haha, I thought it was cute." And she responds with "well I have a good god."
I just said "okay" and walked away again. But I wish I would've asked her if she seriously thought I worshiped a dog with a cone on its head lol.
This is the third time I've gotten a negative comment on my shirt at work. I'm not even anti-religion, I just thought a dog that had to get a cone juxtaposed with him saying he's a god was funny.
>TL;DR: Some people who buy cigs from me expect me to remember their orders when I don't, and when they do it repeatedly I remember them because they're an asshole but I pretend that I don't. AITA?
I work at a gas station kiosk, and obviously I have a LOT of "regulars"... I remember a lot of them, but some people just walk up to my window and say something like "it's me again" and stare at me, as if I know who they are or what they want. A lot of them will do this repeatedly, and I end up remembering their order anyways because of how much of an asshole they are. That's when I pretend not to remember, even if it's the 100th time.
The newest one doesn't speak English, but this is the third time where this exact sequence played out:
He walks up to my window and says "one cigarette", to which I reply "which ones?" He says "lucky" so I grab regular Lucky Strikes, and he says "nonono" and points as if I can accurately judge what he's pointing to from that far away. After that doesn't work, he says "gold", so obviously I grab gold Lucky Strikes, and then he goes "no. no." again. He starts pointing again, and I still don't know what he's pointing at, so he makes a motion to indicate "the one to the right of that one." ...
He wants Lucky gold 100's, and at this point the only reason I remember his order is because he can't be fucked to remember how to say "hundreds". He'll say "lucky golds" after a lot of prying, so I don't think he should get a pass because of the language barrier.
This is the third time he's come up to my window and done this. I remember his cigarettes now, but next time I'm probably going to do the whole song and dance again. Me having your order before you get to the window is for people I remember, not for people who I remember because they can't be fucked to tell me what they want. AITA?
