I’m a Discordian and once walked backwards for several days as a child. Idk what that does for your data pool.

If you’re in SW Missouri you can x_x

I don’t want to follow closely, just occasionally dive in for fun perspective spectating. But maybe you’re on the right path with the Hexbear allow list. I should see if I can get Hexbear to allow feddit.nl.

Shit. That’s what I was afraid of. I guess feddit.nl isn’t the perfect neutral it once was. I specifically chose a home instance that would allow me to access Hexbear and some of the other more extreme instances. Is there a decent migration tool? I am established on this account and am a mod on a few communities. I don’t want to lose Hexbear or all my posts and positions.

You’re not wrong. I stopped going to CVS in part because only a portion of the pharmacy staff could be respectful. Two of the three actual pharmacists (both of the men -_-) obviously didn’t care if I got my estrogen or injection supplies. They also couldn’t keep my supplies in stock or get them in a timely manner, then treated me like I was seeking drug paraphernalia when I constantly needed syringes.

I guess I just don’t trust that anyone has adequate training and policies for this. My experience is that, if there isn’t anyone with authority making us a policy priority, we are at the mercy of the personal beliefs and opinions of whoever is working at the moment. =/

I just want to gloat about my dispensary in here. We’re definitely where the cool queers get their weed. I’ve never been treated with anything but love and respect. The GM and AM both have significant personal connections to trans people in their lives. (The AM is my best friend, and I’ve seen her tense up at the notion that a random woman looked enough like her to be her sister, because she doesn’t have a sister, and she will fight about it <3) The weekend closing manager is me. We are the only dispensary in town with the “Transgender safe space” tag on Google. (There are several with the LGBTQ friendly tag.) It’s just all around a wonderful place to work and shop.

Big businesses are definitely worse about it because they don’t have real training and nobody feels they have the authority to act on things in the moment. I work at a small location for a medium sized business. If there is an issue with how a trans person is addressed, I can swoop in and make sure it is immediately corrected and understood. I have been fast enough to stop potentially uncomfortable moments before they happened. (I like to think nobody at my dispensary would do worse than an uncomfortable misstep, but I try to prevent those too.) There is no equivalent to that in a large, faceless corporate workplace. Managers, regardless of their quality or training, aren’t going to be reliably present. Employees are on their own with their existing skills, training, personalities, and biases. You can find a small business with a culture of respect you can count on. You’ll always be gambling with a big business.

Why can’t I see any comments there? I can see the posts, but it says they all have 0 comments?

There is literally only one person developing SDV and Haunted Chocolatier. This is literally an impossible statement. There is only ConcernedApe, and he has not announced any cancelation.

Tbh I play the hell out of some Kairosoft games on mobile <_< I love watching my little guys thrive.

BG3 is a huge exception. It’s more popular by far than most games of the sort. And still only two of the dozen gamers I work with has played any of it, and they are both done with it.

all these gamers glowing about how great it is

Where? If you mean online, yeah, online discussion and gaming publications focus on more complex games that more serious gamers are playing. There’s just more to say about them. And news sites are gonna pay more attention to exceptions to the norm like BG3. None of the many gamers in my life are talking about it. If you’re hearing about BG3 and other huge, complex games regularly, it’s because you are spending time in spaces where and with people who care about them. Because it’s not just everywhere.

Oh yeah I know that, it just seems like these type of games are super popular.

I honestly think that’s just your circle. That does not describe the majority of the gamers I know or have known. I have always been in a minority for wanting to do math in my free time and have to find places online to discuss these games because usually nobody else in my life is playing them. Most of the people I know who played BG3 did so because it is popular, and they avoided as much of the math and homework as possible. And most of them are done with it.

There are tons of games that don’t require that sort of knowledge base or study investment. It’s a minority that do. But you’re on Lemmy. This is a self selected community of extra thoughtful nerds. This community is more likely to be excited about games with homework than your average gaming community. I do genuinely love the research part of complex games. I like crafting builds and planning battles. I loved both Divinity Original Sin games and will love BG3 when I get there.

But sometimes I do just want a game for my hands to play while by brain takes a break. That’s why I spent most of the summer with Earth Defense Force 5, a 9/10 space insect exploding experience. Highly recommend it if you don’t want to fuck with the details.

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

Nty plz not the holy water

Shoot someone in self defense>patch up their wounds while reciting communist theory.

Maybe he means trans-Atlantic rights?

PDFs are trusted and respected around the world. It’s a better denomination than most.

Oh I agree with all of that. My convoluted point was that even the rare legitimate dangerous fringe leftist is usually less dangerous than many of the pervasive directions of the right.
