These two things are entirely mostly unrelated. People who do not want to be misgendered for whatever reason use them to avoid being misgendered as often as possible. To be inclusive some allies include theirs also, it shows some level of support and helps normalize displaying pronouns. You can still support others without putting your own pronouns promenantly out there for everyone to see.

Take me for instance. I identify agenderly but use he/him pronouns mostly becuase that’s how I was born and look. I, much like you, don’t care about how I’m pronouned, and honestly I prefer however I’m presenting at the time. In life it doesn’t change much. But in games it can vary.

My own opinion on pronouns being that they exist to ease conversation, and so long as they do that, I have no problem using anyone’s preferred selection. Up until someone decides their pronouns are so unique that it’s not really a pronoun anymore, it’s more like a second name. That’s when I get a bit petty and will generally avoid talking about whoever that is at all.

100%'d blast corps back in the day, caught the hylian loach before there were any guides about it in ocarina of time.

And more (but not terribly) recently, I completed an ‘all bosses’ challenge run in terraria in which I made all naturally spawning blocks indestructible.

I dunno. I grew up around a lot of horned lizards and they are awesome. Bump them up to small dog size and they’d still be awesome, though significantly more dangerous.

We’ll solve it with space capitalism, now with mirror satellites to block 11% of the sunshine (and also use like a giant magnifying glass on the ants of society) we just need more companies able and willing to spin a satellite launcher at 5000mph to help it achieve low earth orbit without using rocket fuel.

That’ll show em how capitalism is always the right answer.

I had to read more about it myself and I am mistaken in the origins of it. It’s not that most other creatures evolved out of it, we’re just one of the ‘lucky’ few to develop it.

I do occasionally touch on others trades, and it’s usually because I work on scattered sites where I and my one partner are in a house together alone. Requesting someone to stop what they are doing and come out to where I am to (usually) remove something that’s in the way of my progress is a waste of both our times. I will take stuff out, but it’s up to them to put it back, and I always let them know ahead of time to get the all clear and somehow still get talked to about it later.

Construction carpenter. I do a majority of the tasks for building most structures. From rough structure to final touches I do a lot.

I mean… we grow teeth a total of 3 times. The first for our baby teeth, the second time for our ‘mature’ teeth, and the make up ‘wisdom’ teeth to fill any that might’ve fallen out at that point. I’m guessing those three growths were the most needed for humans early survival before we got all fancy with farming and hygiene. At which point we kind of broke survival of the fittest and things just kind of happen now.

Kind of like how humans are one of a handful of mammals that didn’t evolve out of menstruation.

I’ve seen it before and it goes a little something like…

There are three subsets of flat earth believers.

The truthers: they legitimately believe in the flat earth. They generally haven’t traveled much or at all and have no idea the scale of things. They aren’t willing to test stuff themselves, but they will parrot anything that sounds decent.

The grifters: much like telemarket scammers asking about something antiquated (like TV boxes) they know their audience is likely going to fall for whatever they have to offer. They make videos online constantly, ask for people to join their group, squeeze whatever they can from people who want the echo chamber.

The “anti” 's who have become the Qanons: the flat earth isn’t the whole iceberg, it’s barely even the tip. It’s all just a method of control that ‘they’ want you to believe in so that you are simple sheep to their new world order and anti religious rhetoric. They don’t really care if the flat earth is real, it’s just close enough to their beliefs that they’ll assimilate it to spite ‘the man’.

And the fourth group that aren’t flat earthers at all: the trolls. They fan the flames, make the images that don’t fit the models, and generally seem to ally themselves with the flat earthers, just to laugh about it later, while also getting people who notice stuff like this to so laugh along. Flat earth is the joke and their assistance is the punchline.

It’s a hell of a thing to realize the one time women have the rights they should have is when they are expressly considered “the merchandise”.

I think I’ve seen this sign before… If I’m not mistaken it’s basically in every single strip club.

This was true for me in my younger years especially, I ran on about a 32 hour cycle. As I’ve gotten used to my weekday work routine I’m much closer to a 28ish hour routine now.

I would hope that most people who have seen much of anything about industrial ranching would have a hard time not showing a bit of empathy.

Some descriptions of hell aren’t as upsetting as seeing how those animals are kept and handled.

I had seen it noted on the tracker itself… but it also doesn’t seem very unique or useful overall.

To be fair, it’s the most American roundabout ever. Changing numbers of lanes, stop lights around it, and completely unintuitive. I seem to always be one lane more to the right of where I thought I needed to be.

My American city has at least 2 roundabouts in it, and I happen to get confused by at least one of them every time I’m trying to get somewhere.

Tangential story time. I play a lot of video games, mmo’s being the norm. A few years ago one came out that I was hooked on not just as a game but also a social platform. I met many people on there and knew them better than I know some of my friends.

One of them set a goal for herself. She wanted a billion in game currency, and it was possible. She spent several months and enough real world money to end up in some fairly deep debt, but I only heard that from others who were closer.

Being outside of her unguarded group, she randomly asked me what I would do of I had a billion currency in the game. I thought about it for a few minutes and responded “I’d probably quit the game”. Confused, she asked me why.

It’s a pretty simple concept, if I had accumulated that level of wealth in game, that meant one of two things had occured: either I had nothing left to spend the currency on, or the inflation had gotten so bad that only the wealthiest players could participate.

That mindset doesn’t work with the rich. They can do and get whatever they want with their wealth, but they’re more focused on getting a big number more than actually just enjoying it freely and openly.

Eating the rich is decimating the concept of a high score financially. Fostering altruism and attempting to make the world a better place for all. The absolute wealth some people in this world have could do so much good if it weren’t being hoarded.

Taxing the rich is a hard fight with so many loopholes and outs that it will take forever. Changing the mindset is basically impossible as well, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try every available means.

Round about a day or two. I’d likely make an oopsie while letting the zoo animals out and get myself slaughtered.

I believe (what with not being an expert at all) that the energy release upon annihilation is directly related to how positive or negative the person is.
