Don't forget the bad guy has to be disabled. Physically deformed, neurodivergent, something that somehow translates to them being evil.

I don't exactly live in a trans-friendly environment, so I don't know what it'll take to get on HRT. Also I don't know if insurance will want to help pay for it either. Those are the main things I'm nervous about.

There's definitely negative stuff that happens with mine, too. I choose to take medication because, at its worst, it is truly unbearable. But sometimes it can be like this. And everyone's experience is different, too.

That's interesting! The majority of my experiences are pretty negative, but this is a more positive one. I'm glad yours are mostly positive, though!

I feel like if he was given and accepted real, meaningful help, he might be a better person. I think that about pretty much anyone. The problems are that capitalism rewards their dysfunction and, so long as it benefits them or is easier for them, they would not accept any such help if given. In a perfect world, he could get better, but we are nowhere close to thinking about a perfect world currently.

It almost does look like a mental illness, and that's kinda sad. It's apparent he needs some kind of help, probably to process some self-worth issues he's compensating for with Grok here. But of course he's not going to seek out this help; he sees no issue. So he'll keep dooming himself and annoying the hell outta us instead. Looks like a downward spiral for sure.

I never thought to try self-hosting on openbsd, but that does sound like a secure option. Sounds like it has its share difficulty, though.

Ugh. I got overwhelmed and did none of the chores I was supposed to do today. Now I feel terrible and the stress is making my psychosis break through. Brains are such... interesting creatures.

Gendertrauma - a game where several people are put in a submarine. Each of them are trans, but told everyone else is cis and trying to clock the trans person.

Artisans won't treat your customers with a human touch. Artisans won't perform physical labor. Artisans will, however, cost more than a human employee. (who is better in most every way) Artisans will also babble incoherently and perform fraud against your company with their fanch new title: Do Anything Now (DAN)

Bipartisanship is just class solidarity but in the ruling class.

I like GURPS. Get the, like, two core books and wing it. There're more source books if you want more inspiration. And then if I like a setting, I don't need to buy and learn a new system, and this system is flexible enough I can hack in anything. I feel like an IP might do better to get some license and write their own GURPS sourcebook or something, if Steve Jackson Games allows that...

This therapist is atrocious, I'm so sorry. I can't comprehend how people enter the Helping People field with everything on their mind except Helping People. Sorry.

I would advise some caution conflating empathy with caring. Many NDs have decreased--or possibly even a lack of--empathy due to the construction of their brain. This does not mean that they do not care, though. Even a lack of empathy is no excuse, NTs just fuckin hate us.

I dunno, some concept that is uniquely and exactly woman probably isn't porn-brained enough for them.

Girls, is it gay to be a wifegal?

I have two devices, one runs Arch and the other runs Gentoo. Arch because I got used to it a while ago and really like the flexibility, and Gentoo because I took it as a challenge and ended up liking it.

It's also fun when your doc has to argue with insurance to actually pay for it. Or when they decide at 18yo you are miraculously cured of ADHD AND there's no way the same drug can treat anything else, so they won't pay for it.

Ugh, yeah. Abled people can be so awful sometimes. I'm so sorry.

Oh these prosperity gospel people piss me off so much. "I accepted Christ and everything became sunshine and rainbows!" Cool, I accepted Christ and my condition has declined at an increasing rate since. Glad Jesus saw fit to miraculously heal you, but I didn't get the magic fix, and do not dare tell me I just need more faith! (sorry, got a little heated in my head; no anger towards anyone here, I promise)
