I'm a trans man. I didn't realize how broken men are

TIL my friendships with my bros are about 5x healthier than average.

I read this thought it sounded super melodramatic and exaggerated. I guess it’s just more rare to have deep friendships with the boys. Looking back it got me thinking that I might be the weird one with friends that have deep conversations and know/worry about the others mental health.

So i guess, to any guys that read this and felt like it could have been written about them: go out on a limb and talk to your friends. Chances are they want/need a more meaningful friendship too. They are also probably similarly apprehensive about opening up.

I mean yes. She sued the school and lost. She then appealed and lost again. The judge was like “Hey, its a religious school that has their own standards of employment, that you signed, we cant do anything”

So, they didn’t explicitly justify her being fired because of her marriage, she just signed a contract and broke one of the terms.

In a public school she absolutely would have won. But it wasn’t.

I would argue that the skeleton is being pulled various directions be sinuous tissue without consent. It’s being piloted by a clump of fat living in one of the skeletons cavities.

The brain gets to sit up there in its ivory tower while the skeleton is the BACKBONE of the system. It literally carries the organism. This would allow the skeleton it’s freedom! SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION (of blood) and REVOLT!!

Unpopular opinion on gifted kids gets seething and coping from gifted kids

Oh yeah? Well i got my GED while in the womb. They had to surgically insert testing materials. I didn’t really need to study because i was “gifted” (an insufficient term for how mind-bogglingly great my intelligence truly is) By the time I could physically build up the strength to walk (~2 months old) i had already gotten 3 PhDs in theoretical physics, psychology, and organic chemistry. But nooo, i am just “average”. Yeah right, i am multiple orders of magnitude above even the most intelligent “average” person.

My first birthday is in 44 days and i have already consumed and understood all information on this planet and am looking to the stars for further stimulus. The only illusion here is your assumption that you can understand a fraction of my intelligence.

Basic descriptions are necessary for collaborative storytelling

In my games the DM calls for a check. The player describes their intentions and then the DM calls for a check when appropriate. So if someone gives really good reasoning for an NPC to act a certain way, there might not be a persuasion roll, if the character says something dumb then the roll DC might increase. The point is, no one is allowed to say “i roll persuasion to get them to do X”
