TLDR: IMO drag is an abusive troll, so I blocked them. IMO Grail is genuine (though terminally online), I haven't blocked Them yet but They def are close due to having some shitty beliefs on some things (narcissism, politically inactive queers, etc). Also a bonus paragraph about my gender identity because I felt it fit(? IDK I'm tired AF and rambling).

Personally I saw drag's online behaviour as abusive and trolling so they got my standard response to that kind of behaviour; reported and blocked. On one of my alts I encountered them advocating for someone's suicide, then I blocked them across all of my accounts instead of just my main. (Looking at the modlog for them should be enough to see their pattern of behaviour )

In terms of Grail on the other hand I don't respect Their claims of divinity because I'm staunchly atheist. It has nothing to do with Their gender and is purely about Their claims of being a goddess. Will I capitalize Their pronouns when I use them? Sure, if I remember to go back and edit them as my phone likes to auto correct them constantly. (Hell I was in the thread awhile back with them trying to help them come up with a method so that their preferences could easily be seen by others because they were throwing a fit about a mod "misgendering" them by not remembering to capitalize their pronouns (The Post))

In regards to my gender: frankly I don't give a damn. I don't have strong opinions about my gender and I present how I please, which wanders about the gender spectrum‡. Personally I feel that agender-genderfluid is basically my label in that regard. Just don't refer to me in a dehumanizing way and we'll be fine. I reflect that by not having pronouns in my bios or usernames.

‡ The gender spectrum itself is complex and multi-axial but that's the short and sweet of it.

IDK man, I'm just here to have a good time and not have to dodge abusive trolls and tip toe through the daisies for people who throw a fit when they get hit with my default way of referring to people (they/them).

Y'all are decent folk around here but I do feel there's a decent amount who need to step outside and touch grass (myself included)

Definitely sending this to my dad

A few decades ago him and his friend were out hunting in their tree stands and his friend fell out because the tree he set his up on was pretty shit. He came out physically unscathed but his pride took one hell of a blow that day.

Edit: He got a kick out of it and told me he's forwarding it to his friends. You did good OP, you got a group of 60 year old folk to laugh their asses off with each other.

Personally I blocked the guy a long time ago

I didn't even know what was going on around here until I dug into it and found the source the situation

Both of course!

Greasy burgers help with the good time

Definitely don't help with the long time

And too many can also ruin the good time you are here

I've only got 20 hours in Balatro

"Wheel of Nope!" Is accurate

I haven't seen it trigger yet lol

Personally I use they/them until I get corrected on it. It's my default.

It being my default of course means that a lot of the time I'll keep using it even after being corrected. That's not from a position of intolerance though, it's from a position of habit.

And also given the amount of people I engage with online I'm not going to remember every person I interact with, especially given how sparsely I actually respond to people and my response time to people.

Basically y'all are a field of ever changing faces I'll likely never see again let alone IRL, I'm going to stick to they/them for 99% of our interactions.

I've had to deal with a lot of narcissistic people in my life, I really don't like narcissists.

There's a big difference between pride and narcissism. Though they can easily go hand I'm hand.

Surprisingly cheaper than I thought and also with less metal than I expected

That's why I seem so lost on this whole thing

I don't think I've ever seen their posts or comments

Edit: I also apparently had them blocked as well.

I think the previous person was just giving a shitpost style reply

Yeah after looking into it it totally makes sense to me.

Off topic but you user name is the bestos.

The best insurance is a good deterrent, building a good retaining wall will likely help in protecting the home.

Much like making sure that trees near the home aren't tall enough to land on the home.

Edit: I'm not saying to not get insurance of you have a wall, but having the wall in addition to insurance will make life that much easier.

The fact they never used that data in video recommendations is surprising, and if they started to factor it in would have probably helped make this less of an issue

I see someone has chosen violence today

I've got a saw so it's going to fit when I try again in the morning

Edit: Baking too many cookies today and tomorrow, gonna have to try on Christmas

Edit 2 electric boogaloo: Got it to fit. Can't even tell from outside my case.

"Fuck Sony Dads"?

I'd love to but they're unfortunately not real 😞

Unfortunately it's made my workload bigger but there is good news from it, it keeps me busier on the slower days at work lol
