It’s actually a kind of a bummer most games don’t let you play as a femboy where you look like a girl mostly but people refer to you as a boy in-game.

I felt this. Most games don’t have any options for more slender, fem looking men at all. It’s always hairy or muscly.

Adding this to the list of insects to scoop up on a sheet of paper and put outside. Assuming I ever see one inside.

Yeah, historically it’s a bit more complicated. Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus which was an unorganized and very splintered resistance movement existed. There’s a lot of reasons for why they couldn’t quite make the impact they wanted, besides being splintered, but that’s probably the largest one.

Besides that though, the Germans did attempt to cleanse their image after the world war with the Wehrmacht myth. The myth essentially states that the regular army had no knowledge of the acts committed by the SS, that the average German solider was bravely fighting for their country under false pretenses. Obviously it’s not true, but it seems to have been rather effective unfortunately.

That was cute, we could always use more wholesome content like this on here.

Oh there were signs in the last few months for certain. Like I mentioned before, she’s been out of work, and depressed, so that masked a lot of the hints. I have noticed that she seemed as if she was genuinely trying to prepare me for this in some ways though.

Bedroom wise we both initiated quite often. She tells me she doesn’t regret any of it, and she says she’s confused as to why she enjoyed it sometimes more than others to the point where she eventually couldn’t feel like doing anything. A lot was reciprocated, we’ve always had a policy about fairness.

I have held it in a little bit, but mostly out of need to. I have definitely cried whenever I’ve had the opportunity to.

I don’t blame her with taking her time to figure it out, and I’m happy that she trusted me enough to even tell me. She deserves credit for that.

She probably would if I asked.

It’s her bed though, and we agreed a long time ago that neither of us would in any circumstance take the floor or any other space that’s less comfortable than the bed.

We will look into separate sleeping spaces in the future. It’s not the closeness that bothers me as much as it is how she mumbles in her sleep. Nothing that she has ever said in her sleep hinted at this, and judging by last night it’s probably not going to change. I don’t think I’ll be alright hearing it every night.

I can’t say it would have changed much if I had known that she was questioning beforehand. She has expressed guilt over feeling like she experimented with me, but she has also stated that she said she wouldn’t feel certain unless she gave us a chance.

I would have given her the chance if she had asked mostly due to how close we are.

As for family, they’re maga, I have no ties with them. I have a couple of close friends. She seemed to have been preparing me for this as recently she was attempting to push me to socialize more outside of her own friends and family more.

If my family were involved they wouldn’t be supportive, but I would not allow them to harm her in any regard.

I consider myself demi at the moment, but with just how much it takes for me to bond with anyone I do sometimes it feels that I may as well be aroace. It’s hard to describe the amount of important aspects that we share together that made us functional together even if it only took one fault to make it impossible.

We’re still going to live together for the time being. I might be more bothered by sharing the same bed than she is. We do want to separate at some point so she can pursue love on her own, although she doesn’t feel a lot of confidence about that.

She wants me to try dating though, but I also just don’t feel any confidence about finding anyone.

You flatter me. I don’t really know how to take it like that. This is just two people being themselves. We haven’t done anything wrong besides being incompatible in certain ways.

And I appreciate the kind wishes, I’m not sure if I’ll try later. She is one of the only people in the world I can say I have ever felt comfortable being vulnerable around and I’m not sure that I could build up that trust with anyone in the future.

The collapse of the U.S. just makes the rat race feel even more real for everyone.

There is already a large amount of qualified graduates across various fields from India and China. Now we’re adding a third sizable country’s worth of graduates to that.

He’s got more free time now that he’s left dead by daylight.

She didn’t deserve that, and these glasses are so problematic. Too problematic for society, just like so much of the AI products being introduced.

Yes some of the glasses are supposed to have lights, but if you search online you can find plenty of ways to cover or conceal them.

Also myself and my significant other wear prescription glasses that have a similar shape to these. At what point do we have to start being anxious about people starting to slug anyone wearing glasses out of paranoid concerns for their privacy?

I don’t want to deal with any of this. We live in such a dystopian world.

No thank you. I value my life too much.

I had to check the date on this post due to the XIV avatar.

Definitely keep clean and use deo, but I remember the last major XIV convention in NA was so poorly planned out that it had massive lines of people waiting outside in the late July summer heat in Las Vegas. It’s a bit of an unfortunate situation.

I’m surprised he has enough intelligence to even be able to understand that he had been called out. Him and the U.S. were not mentioned by name in Carney’s speech at all, even if it was rather obvious.

Jack has beautiful teeth. Please pet Jack for us.

Civil War suggests there will be organized resistance.

This is true, but there’s more to it than that.

Around the time I first joined Lemmy a user on here recommended a book to me titled “How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them.”

I’m oversimplifying the contents, but civil wars tend to be more common in countries that are in a status that is between autocracy and democracy. Overwhelming authoritarianism and overwhelming democracy are stabilizers that make it difficult for infighting that contests the leadership of the country.

There’s a lot of ways to interpret the current atmosphere and where we are on that scale. I don’t feel confident in my ability to judge it.

Even if you do choose to eat meat you don’t exactly have to be gleeful about the animals death.

There is a lot of information missing. I am in no way saying that she deserved such treatment, but I agree that I’m not entirely sure what she expected either.

I’m assuming that the woman was neither conservative nor an agitator. Based on this statement she seems just like someone who went there in good faith potentially expecting open conversation.

“I’m an engaged community member and I often sit at (discussion) tables with people that have many points of view. I work hard to try to bridge the gaps and I have big worries these days about where we’re heading, particularly with what’s going on south of the border.”

I understand that there’s more civility north of the border. Regardless, that was a conservative meeting featuring Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Canadian conservative party who regularly kisses Trump’s ass.

People really, really need to learn that you cannot have open dialogue with conservatives. It doesn’t matter what country they’re from, how polite they might seem, or their position on the conservative scale, the agenda is ultimately the same. Spend your energy on meaningfully opposing them, rather than gratifying them with these impossible attempts at communication.
