The justification for this seems to be “Yes we know you’ve done the hard part by taking action against them, but we simply don’t trust you to stick to that decision, and thus must monitor you to ensure you do what we want you to do with your life. Oh, but we’ll make sure your abuser knows all about it, whether you want them involved or not. That’ll definitely help keep those kids safe!”
I can absolutely see how that would be traumatic and intrusive. I hope this challenge goes places.
I’d love more couch co-options. I typically play single player, won’t touch online play, but playing with a person I actually know is great.
You can get good media, or you can get mass-appeal media.
Sometimes they cross over, usually not. Unfortunately, a -lot- of horny men really like the (especially self-insert isekai) horny stuff. And they pay a lot for it, especially merchandise. So so much money in anime merch, especially horny anime merch. It’s so profitable there’s an anime merch store at my local rural mall in Wisconsin, and it’s full of super questionable hentai-adjacent stuff.
There’s a lot of good stuff out there that isn’t that, but it is definitely an actual slog to find any of it because there’s way more low quality samey horny junk.
Idk, that’s always how you hear them represented. I just assume there’s a visual component to get people “lost in thought”, cuz while I drift away, most of what I’m conscious of is how I no longer have a way to rejoin a conversation; anything I’m thinking about would require explanation, but I’m aware of what’s going on around me generally.
Being aphantasic and not realizing it until I was… in my late 20s..? Really called a lot of things into question and I still don’t have answers for them. Like the phrase “close your eyes and picture…” I used to think it was like..metaphorical? Turns out they actually mean picture the thing in your mind.
If I didn’t have aphantasia I’d probably have row 1 box 3 marked as well. I get lost in thought, but it’s more logistical planning for eco transformation type stuff (how to convert parking garages into hydroponic farms and the like)
Also messy room is whole house, and I’m doing a lot better with that, but as a kid I cleaned my room with a rake more than once.
Super happy to help, friend!
It was game-changing when I realized I could just… wear sunglasses whenever I like (within reason) as long as I can still see.
That’s a super cute clip, I like the idea that the snakes are friends but also a major hassle.
Shame it got canceled. I’d totally have watched it.
My dentist and I had an understanding.
I’d put in headphones and listen to a book with sunglasses on, and pretend he wasn’t there unless I needed something, and he would shut up, do his job, and pretend I wasn’t there unless he needed me to do something. It was a good system.
But the takeaway here is you can totally wear sunglasses at the dentist and avoid that problem entirely. Also nicer on your eyes. They don’t care. It’s awkward af for them too.
Mmmmm leopards and faces. Love to see it.
I know I’m not trans and thus considerably less of a target overall.. but this shit scares me so much.
I have been accused of being a man on multiple occasions due largely to having a deep gravely voice and no willingness to hide my true personality.. I wrestled, was in the military, and have mostly non-stereotypically-feminine interests.. so despite being a whopping 5’2, 120lb, feminine-presenting afab, people (actually it’s been 100% men doing it) misgender me quite a bit more than one would expect..
And coming from a conservative area, that is frightening every time it happens. Most of the men who do this are 2-3x my size and would probably kill me.
You can make or buy something like this if you can’t do clips.
Old school saw horse ;)
