Heavy metal rule

I always wanted to make a DND character that's a warrior but was raised with mages so he believed he was a mage. The mages were just too nice to tell him that he was a warrior and kept on encouraging him on his "spells". He would throw a Molotov cocktail and call it fireball and other antics. Sometimes he would get frustrated and punch things and call it mage fist.

Trans man forced to undergo prison genital exams wins $275,000 settlement

Reply in thread

This is the reason why trans men decide to stay in a woman's prison. The people in a woman's prison are treated better and I don't deny there's some form of sexual assault, there is less than the men's prisons. One big difference between a men and women's prison is you being asked to do something by the COs instead of being told. For example, if an officer says to get out your cell, they will wait for you to get out in a women's prison. In a men's prison, if you take too long you'll get escorted out by other officers.

And before people go "oh then people from the men's prison can just declare themselves to be trans and then come and rape all the women". Yeah no. There's a rigious application process to transfer into a woman's prison as a trans person. You also get free hormones, which is nice.

I don't even do humble monthly anymore. They've had periods of months and months where I don't get anything I want to play or some obscure game that isn't interesting. Its cheaper just to get the monthly bundle when I do see a game I want. Humble monthly was more than worth it maybe 10 years back.

Bad mental health is a sickness. If people have mental illness they don't just sit there and deal with it, they go to a doctor to get it fixed or at least under control. I have no qualms in talking a sick day off to get away from it all when I'm overwhelmed. If my employer says otherwise, then fuck them, I'll find a place to work where they respect that.

Ah, then musicbee might not be for you. I've managed my own songs for at least a decade the old fashioned way so it was easy to import and move my songs around to other forms of media apps. You can however copy and paste the Playlist from iTunes to musicbee. You don't have to manually add all the songs to the playlist from your library.

Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focus

Reply in thread

I was super shocked when I saw kids using their phones and laptops in class. When I was in school, the moment your phone went off it was confiscated and you had to pay to get it back at the end of the day. It created this culture amongst the kids that no matter who you were, if your phone went off, people will have coughing fits and make noise to cover it up. Super funny every time it happened too.

School cell phone bans have hit most states. Not everyone is on board.

My schools all banned cell phones from middle to high school. If one would go off or if you were caught by the teacher, they would confiscate it and you'd have to pay money to get it back by the end of the day. It was really funny watching kids covering each other no matter who you were if someone's phone went off in their backpack. We'd all start collectively coughing and making loud sounds to cover it up. Teachers for the most part were pretty relaxed on the phone going off in your backpack policy though. They only enforced the policy if you were caught using your phone during class.

I never said I was a fan of genocide. I am and always will be a democrat even though I can't vote. Maybe you should read my comment again since I think you're reading it the other way around.

From what I've seen it's more like republicans fuck everything up, then democrats come in and un-fuck everything. Then the democrats introduce good policy that Republicans take credit for. Rince and repeat.
