And that's a shitass horrible makeup counter too. The lighting is terrifying. You'd walk out looking like a ghost or a drag queen, no in between.

Delicates like that either go in a bag to protect them or are hand-washed and hung to dry.

Any time there's talk about repeatedly hosting large LaRP groups or basically cooking and cleaning for/ housing them I think someone in the relationship has a poly-setup they're exploiting.

This goes to like 94% confidence if it's Vampire The Masquerade

I was reading a BDSM book from the 90s and it said "being a domestic slave is basically being a housewife except you get thank yous more often." A lot of diverse relationships are the same concerns rearranged in different forms.

It's fine and I like it well enough. Not my first choice for wedding catering.

Somehow I manage not to work that opinion into every post I make online though.

Or that Prince is my favorite musician and that I named my cat "Max" (who is a Burmese that I inherited from my Mother who died 2 years ago and who liked Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stines and Fleetwood Mac (Give me LED ZEPPELIN any day!) and used to watch The Big Bang Theory reruns for 5 hours a day (on our Netflix package that I run over a VPN I coded myself because gently caress Comcast) after I talked her out of the overpriced cable/DVR/Landline package after a Prince song called "The Max" that was on a "self titled" (whooo, there's a term for ya!) album released in 1991 that was a shift in his sound from sequenced drum beats and overdubs and more of a move to a traditional organic band (similar to the inferior but bigger selling "Diamonds and Pearls" album) and that incorporated hip hop elements (to the chagrin of many, but that's another story). The album title was the symbol that would later become his name (with segues by Kirstie Alley who was on a show called "Cheers"). It (the album title) was a combination of the "Male and female" symbols first shown in the cover art for his first double album, "1999" (It's cleverly hidden in the first "9" of "1999", the name of the album) plus he also had this symbol on his motorcycle in the movie "Purple Rain" that I watch every time I get the flu when there's a full moon) - until 2000 when he changed his name back to "Prince" after settling the legal battles he had with his long time record company, Warner Brothers (headquartered in Burbank, CA) . He used an online distribution method for his music for some time (no info on the OS or ISP - SORRY!) with mixed results.

Anyway, my cat is named Max and if I ever save enough money for a new doll or transition, I'm going to name her (and myself) "Maxine". The cat and 2 dolls agrees whoelheartedly with my decision but Tiffany (my first doll) still prefers "Jools", after founding member of Squeeze "Jools 'The Jewel' Holland" (look him up!). guess we'll see!

...

I have some personal experience with mental illness, in my family and with some friends but I've never seen it manifest itself in this really obsessive writing style. I felt weird just typing all that.

It's mentioned in there and as a trans woman I see so much unaddressed dysphoria and self-hate in these writings, it's so sad. Just a lot of people who never got to live their own lives outside of gender hell. :smith:

I dont know how you can praise someone who dies because they want to be "discoverer"

Exact same thing happened on Everest
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shriya_Shah-Klorfine

If anyone can find the SA Everest thread from that time there's tons of details from hikers and climbers goons about how horribly prepared she was.

One of her training methods involved jogging while wearing body armor and climbing a gym rock wall. She burned through 4x as much oxygen as she should've during the climb.

Sadly FYAD went crazy about the Everest death pool so the old Everest threads were gassed. There's one in Take a Hike but it's not nearly as fun. :smith:

it's good to mock rich idiots who exploit impoverished sherpas to physically haul their rear end in a conga-line up a mountain past hundreds of corpses in order to claim unearned praise from uninformed co-workers and people on facebook while leaving a trail of their own feces and garbage on a site considered holy by its locals, when they manage to die doing it because they've literally never climbed a mountain before, yes

nobody in that thread ever thought it was funny when the exploited sherpas died, and everyone generally had a lot of respect for actual mountaineers who had a clue about what they were doing, and was sad when those people died, for the most part

like if you think the darwin awards are ghoulish and terrible then sure, you're being consistent, but it was only ever really just a highly location-specific version of the darwin awards

This. Shriya Shah-Klorfine was hilarious. Reinhold Messner was a tragedy. Your other mountain deaths lie somewhere between those two poles.

TBH this kind of circles back around to that dumbass McCandless who died less than a mile from civilization because wanted to be A Cool Wilderness Guy, lol

either do it right or be prepared to die and be mocked by goons

unsurprisingly, jon krakauer wrote a book on both and his take was largely the same "yes it's cool to push yourself to the edge of civilization but also don't be a giant loving idiot"

Leperflesh posted:

There's some of that too, and that's likely what killed Shah-Klorfine: she gulped down way too much oxygen, and refused to turn back when her guides told her to repeatedly. A lot of the deaths up there come from oxygen deprivation removing people's ability to think clearly, combined with fixation on reaching the summit without regard to the fact that going back down is even more difficult than getting to the top.

also it's worth realizing that the standard tourist route to everest is basically a one-person wide stairway leading up the side. A lot of the time when poo poo goes bad in the death zone, one person dying and blocking the way gets everyone else completely hosed. A lot of contemporary Everest heroism stories (everything since In Thin Air) is a skilled mountaineer unfucking the route just to get a bunch of idiots down.

Just goofing around, tbh, and making a joke. I don't care what Quebec posts.

Remembering the threat of Hockey's lawsuit for SA making fun of people who screw dolls, how many times has Lowtax been threatened with litigation? I remembered The Ultimate Warrior was threatening to sue him once and, for a while, Lowtax had a phony lawyer named Leonard J. Crabbs that would write cranky retorts to these loons.

Also, how many secret service visits has he gotten? I can think of at least two.

There was a third Fed visit recently. The FBI asked Lowtax about an alt-right Reddit quote in CSPAM. Luckily he took pity on the poor goon for the crime of quoting an idiot.

I just read about that tombstone drama and had to do a double take when I read that the backer was willing to change it. I guess I'm so used to lovely people refusing to back down on things like that but it's pretty funny that the defenders were so dedicated to their cause their brains short circuited when the backer himself wasn't nearly as committed to keeping it as a bunch of internet randoms.

What a world we live in.

It�s unfortunately not quite that simple. The backer�s replacement went something like �that bitch if she�d had a sense of humour this would never have happened�, turning it into a personal dig at me. So the guy was obviously upset about changing it, he agreed to change it instead of getting a refund and having his name pulled entirely.

I�ve been through way worse. I don�t think it was right of Obsidian to let the backer use the replacement text as an attack on me, but the point was just to get the bigoted joke out of the game, and that got done at least.

@Coolness Averted: no, the guy really went off about how I was censoring him and that trans people were just being jerks with no sense of humor. It was definitely supposed to be a dig at me for calling him out. A+ tolerant undead joke though.

E: also this happened at the height of Gamergate. Totalbiscuit ended up baying for my blood and people were trying to break into my various social media accounts for months. Which, to bring it back to SA, is why I have a weird half-apologetic probation from VideoGames on my rapsheet for calling TB out and getting a bunch of reports.

Did you read the next page where FAU goes "oh this is actually a thing and not just a stupid gimmick" and apologizes, saying this was definitely worth bringing up?
