I guess that makes sense. About the trans thing, I guess that’s just how it’s been presented to me. I came from a deeply conservative background and am working through a lot of deprogramming and relearning. Also Tumblr lib programming to undo too.

Most of our write-ins are lumped together. Claudia de la Cruz only got nine votes here, one of them of course was me.

Midwest has been seeing a few spring-like tornado threats this past week.

Not sure if “psychotically” is the right term. One does not have to have a disorder separating them from reality to be reactionary. Though it is reactionary, for sure.

2024, the last free election the world would ever see…

Breaking in and freeing the Ood. They may not understand freedom, but they deserve it!

Glad Guts Berserk finally made it to space in his war on demons.

Man, if you hate video games, just stop playing them!

I have a fair amount of trauma binding me to the faith. May have been brought up in a cult-like community. But trying to separate from Christianity feels like tearing off the majority of my self. I believe in Jesus, but I believe he taught us to love each other like ourselves, so all the hate and division Christians sow, to me, seems counter to the Gospel they claim to believe in. Some of them would probably call me a heretic or straight up a nonbeliever. So whether I’m really a Christian may be up for debate.

I understood this as a bush, and yes, I do condemn the Bushes.

You can’t call me an idiot because I can’t read Japanese-- wait.

Well, it’s even weirder because, if I understood what I read correctly, the Typhlosion was the only party that really could consent. It talked to the girl both in a shifted human form and in its real form. The girl I can only assume was underage because they kept calling her a girl. So the Typhlosion was the real creeper. Also this took place in some ancient era where the boundary between Pokemon and humans was blurred. It has Japanese youkai vibes for sure. I don’t know about the other stories, though, I only heard the Typhlosion one.

‘Scooz me, I jus’… there we go

Obviously they’ll be playing Space Station 14 which could use more players and servers.

I went to my doctor appointment. Task: completed.

Is this the Mirthful Messiahs I’ve heard so much about?

I think it would’ve been fairly easy for readers at the time to say “the monster’s a murderer, that’s the story.” It’s easy for others to say the monster’s a victim and not responsible for his actions. We see the two points of view throughout this comments. The comparison to an incel is almost silly, though. “Man decides women are The Problem and becomes dangerous” is different from “Man is abandoned and feared by his only parent at birth, he has the impulse control of a small child (recall he was literally just born) and he has the body of a very large adult man.” He even does try to be good, but is angered by people dehumanizing him for his appearance. (Dehumanizing people based on things they have no control over: sound familiar?) But then there’s the important bit: this does not absolve his crimes! He is, in fact, a murderer. But the people who hated him also bear responsibility. Most of all his parent who did no rearing, teaching, or literally anything but screaming and running bears responsibility. Is he a killer? Yes! Is he a victim? Yes! Is Victor responsible for everything? Also, yes! The people who rejected him responsible? Less so, but yes!

I could be remembering wrongly, but wasn’t the creature described as being uncannily attractive? Like maybe not conventionally so, but in some indescribable and uncomfortable way?

cost millions of taxpayer dollars in wrongful death and civil rights lawsuits

Good to see our priorities are straight. Yeah, some lives were lost, BUT THE MONEY!

One time I needed to move from a daily pill to an injection for one of my meds, but by the time we got the prescription and emergency appointment, the pharmacy either had just closed or was about to. Mind you, I was inches from a crisis, like, I was honestly thinking if I couldn’t get on the mend that night I was going to need a hospital. Then insurance decided they didn’t want to pay for it. Thankfully the doctors were willing to give me a free sample, so I was able to get the injection that evening. It was a rough night, but I was getting better. Also insurance ultimately did start paying, but not until I had used all the free samples they were allowed to give me.
