FUCKING PRONOUNS

Guess I'm a melee mercenary in a ranged weapons world now. Sucks, but at least I get self healing? Also an immunity, come to think of it.

As I recall, it wasn't a single vote, they ran it a few times to get the results they wanted, didn't they?

Yeah! The Democrats should just bring it to the floor in the house and pass it with their minority!

I always joke that I'm such a bottom I got a special surgery to make me better at it.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. Nothing more, and nothing less.

It's part of a promotion for the gold shoes.

Bush sucked, but I've always respected his ability to dodge a shoe.

Part of how they can run with the "trans treatment is experimental!" canard, is that they fucking burned the research almost a century ago.

People started a GoFundMe for him.

If you aren't already aware, you may have misophonia. You aren't alone or crazy.

Pls no shovelware

I know for a fact he meant "legible". I've read a lot of his work and talked a great deal with people in the rationality community, and legible makes perfect sense there.

There are much better things to attack her on than appearance.

My current belief is that this guy is a True Believer.

In general my read in the situation is that attacking trans people is a losing issue, and True Believers are trying to change that. I don't think a cynical office chaser can watch people who run on this shit get pasted again and again and still think it's a winning strategy.

Not pieces in someone else's possession / ownership, ones he was donated. To the best of my understanding this is perfectly legal.

This seems likely to be the most accurate view of the universe we live in, but fails to engage with the hypothetical being asked about.

It is not clear to me why anyone would go to hell in that case. My understanding of people is imperfect, as is my capacity for universal love, but I certainly don't want anyone to suffer, especially since I understand that people are responding to incentives and are not themselves perfectly rational beings with absolute control over themselves or the situations they respond to. I can't imagine sending anyone to eternal suffering described as a lake of fire under any circumstances in preference to helping them to grow better, if I had both the power and a necessity for them to be better by some measure.

I still kind of miss DBM, since I raid on FFXIV these days.

I would expect a narcissist to be completely incapable of making such an evaluation to any degree of accuracy; the kind of self honesty it would require seems foreign to my understanding of the narcissistic mind. Is it possible you were thinking of sociopathy here?

If things change, either internally or interpersonally, and people do change, then I'd rather be able to have an open discussion in those cases as well. I'm into my seventh year with my primary, and I don't foresee things breaking down in a hurry. Still, if being with me was bringing him more suffering than satisfaction, I'd want to know that. It may be that things can be improved within the relationship, although they likely won't without communication. It may also be that things can be improved within the relationship, in which case I'd prefer to know that. I want my partners to be happy, and while there would be an emotional hit to learn that they would be happier without me, I value them being happy more than I value trying to maintain a relationship that is a drag. Like fish, once the relationship is dead I think it's better to get rid of it before it starts to stink. I don't think that a relationship that doesn't make the people in it happy is worth maintaining for the sake of maintaining it.
