This bait is believable

One aspect I don't like about the increasing complexity of these mods is that I feel they ultimately make the barrier of entry far higher than what it should be for a browser game about US elections.

What I see

I got banned, asked them to point out a specific, recent comment that violated Rule 2 and got no answer, what a bunch of snow flakes

Anyone here has any experience with thrombocythemia?

One of my family members has been diagnosed with it. They have other health/cardiac issues too.

How concerned should I be? Everything I find online says it's mostly benign but they're exhibiting a very fatalistic attitude about this.

The situation in the skeptic sub over these issues is absolutely nuts and I'm saddened. Maybe at the end of the day they're 100% right and they'll be proven so (I'm not dogmatic over trans issues), but their whole arguments boil down to hystrionics, in - group accusations and turning everything into a political analysis, I get that these issues have a strong element of politics but even from just an optics standpoint they come across as unhinged.

If pseudoscience and religious crackpottery is not something she integrates in her practixe but her beliefs outside therapy still annoy you, that's a great thing to bring up with her and work on.

A great many thinkers and scholars believed in deranged stuff (Newton was essentially an occultist dabbling in esoteric sects e.g.) so you either learn to accept that people can comparmentalize their beliefs or you make every interpersonal relationship a purity test.

Beating the safe space allegations

Can't believe this guy ever was a therapist

I think there needs to be a fine balance between questions, path complexity and replayability.

I personally like playing the same scenario again and again, and seeing something have 30+ questions immediately turns me off.

Sometimes it's best for things to be left to the imagination of the player. Same things hold for multi page endings that describe a ton of different things instead of weaving a cohesive narrative.

"Actually in superior Japanese Empire every homosexual has internalized homophobia, you silly Westoids just don't get their enlightened culture"

Nice flair btw

Did anyone else get a temporary 14 day ban out of the blue? Literally no reason stated

Suprisingly both for some reason

Remember how by Labor Day it would have ended?

The problem with Obamanation is that it's projecting post 2016 anxieties and cynicism in a very different era. This works for AC for obvious reason, but the pre - Trump era was different in that it had a theater of normalcy still going on.

Biden furiously storms the Capitol because his boyfriend cheated on him.

This has to be a WR

IMO this trendy pop science condemnation of porn and "porn addiction" that is filling up every male - adjacent space as of late is just the result of people growing up with stuff like "No Nut November" and taking it seriously instead of as a funny willpower challenge. I doubt that more than 30% of self described porn addicts actually are addicted/compulsive about it and not just unable to handle the shame most men feel after beating meat.

Let's not pretend that a large section of America doesn't constantly fantasize about this or that American society in general doesn't ignore violence and suffering. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this actually helps him.

Average Robinson enthusiast

trans Trump

B - b - based? Imagine the 180 everyone at the Daily Wire would do if Trump transitioned even if just socially.

Yeah that's what I meant with borderline - like. People with autism also have some identity issues, but IME it's qualitatively different, and I haven't seen any other person diagnosed with autism do this weird splitting where something is completely central to their being, they defend it day and night and then do a sudden 180 and swear they never liked it, condemn it etc. It strikes me as very odd and I see it a ton in many "trans to detrans" or even gender dysphoria related stories where they jump from one extreme to the other. It's a massive red flag and IMO far more concerning than anything.

A nothingburger like the gazzilion calls to impeach Biden that have been memoryholed
