Thats hilarious, she’s a national treasure

What clip?
Grail just linked the medium post which I already read, unfortunately. But, scrolling to the comments, I see that Grail has mentioned that Grail identifies as a divine being, a goddess. I don’t think its possible for me to, at this point, understand Grail’s gender identity. Out of respect for Grail I will just forego pronoun use entirely when interacting with Grail.
Can Grail elaborate on why Grail uses capitalised personal pronouns? On one hand, I want to respect Grail’s pronouns and am open to the fact that maybe I am simply uninformed on the topic or something to that effect. On the other hand, I am hesitant to refer to someone with capitalised personal pronouns since that has historically only been used for deities and royalty and comes with a hefty, hefty subtext of power. Can Grail elaborate?
I don’t feel like its too closed off, no, I appreciate how closed off it is!
A reminder that Microsoft coined the term “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and they are going to continue doing this on purpose
Anti plastic propaganda is a hilarious sentiment. I’m sure it exists, but we aren’t meant to have plastic in our testicles.
Being fat and sedentary is also a problem, but two (or more) problems can exist and all require attention.
I think you mean legally distinct horror kart
Absolutely, but its well worth the cost. You improve your own life and the lives of all of the people you interact with since you’re not projecting your trauma or having them bear the weight of your mental ill health as much.
It isn’t a cost that everyone can afford and that’s okay, but it should be high on pretty much everybody’s list of “things to get”.
This is a thread about things people bought. Money is implied.
Ah glad to hear it!
Please play Tunic if you haven’t already - your praise for Outer Wilds leads me to believe you’d adore it
In no particular order:
Tunic, Outer Wilds, Undertale, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Ori And The Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps, Citizen Sleeper, The Talos Principle
If you force me to choose a top 3 of those:
Private therapy sessions. Get therapy.
Getting therapy.
Get therapy everyone. Seriously.
Grayjay is pretty snazzy
I don’t want to choose the dangerous wild beast, I want to choose the bear. /j
You’re missing the point of the hypothetical.
Firstly, as far as I understand, the concept is supposed to be that you’re stuck in an unknown location with no witnesses. Hence the choice of “spend a night in the woods alone with a bear/man”. The purpose of this is to ensure that neither the bear nor the man are going to have peer pressure or have any sort of intervention from a third party.
Secondly, I’m not a toxic woman and this isn’t a toxic discussion. The hypothetical is a vessel for encouraging discussion about women feeling unsafe around unknown men. The bear isn’t the point. The takeaway is supposed to be "a lot of women feel so unsafe around unknown men that they’d choose [insert bad thing].
This isn’t a discussion about real life hiking safety. Many women (including me) are sharing their discomfort about random men. Hear them, acknowledge them. Their fear and discomfort is based on their lived experience or the lived experience of the women close to them.
Side note, not sure if the Australia vs America comment was directed to me or the discussion in general but for posterity’s sake I’m not American and don’t live in America.
There were two posts in men’s liberation which may be good food for thought.
Neat
