1 day agoNg male always has the sniffles, he insists it’s hayfever but it’s now the middle of winter and it still hasn’t abated and you’ve started worrying that maybe it’s an air pollution thing.

Gamma male is setting off my egg radar.
2·2 days agoAfter beating it with a two caster builds (pure Int and Dex/Faith) I’m partway through a pure strength run and it’s a lot tougher due how much more mobile and aggressive a lot of the bosses are.
Rolling sparks on the lightning perfume kills them really quickly. Mind you rolling sparks kills most things quickly right now. With the right setup you can kill

in seconds just by spamming it.
It’s a confluence of multiple causes.
Other commenters are probably gonna cover all the other stuff like the fact British transphobic orgs are being funded by American fascists like the heritage Foundation as part of a trial run on how they intend to destroy queer rights in their own country.
I’d like to briefly spotlight the stratification of British society as a factor. In specific Bourgeois feminism.
CW: brief mention of CSA, homophobia and transphobia throughout.
Ok, so Britain isn’t a democracy, it’s a feudal theocracy with a parliament bolted on. Everything from the levers of power to who appears as an extra in the BBC’s latest drama about a morally grey cop on the edge, are all selected based on whether they knew some lord Sisterfucker or other during their time in boarding school. The private school nepotism is so endemic we have a slang term for it, jobs for boys.
Now Britain’s feminism has always been split into two opposing movements: grassroots, activist feminism and bourgeois, academic feminism. The latter has always been exclusionary whereas different waves of the former have had various degrees of intersectionality, for example bourgeois feminists during the fight for women’s suffrage supported the disenfranchisement of black people. During what’s referred to as second wave feminism, academic feminists in the UK got really weird about lesbians. You had political lesbians (who are too dense a mess to wade through in just this comment) but you also had what have retroactively been referred to as LERFs, because much like the TERFs of today, LERFs argued for the segregation of single sex spaces for the safety of women. LERFs would print homophobic zines about predatory lesbians in public toilets, claim lesbians were dangerous to their straight competitors in sports, any of the “protect women” moral panic stuff you’ve heard nowadays got its origins here.
As working class intersectional movements gained ground (such as with movements such as “lesbians and gays support the miners” causing unions to change their stance on homophobia and by extension drag the left of centre political parties with them), homophobia began to lose ground politically but still held ground within academic feminism. It’s at this point that intellectuals such as Germaine Greer began shaping modern academic feminism. Cliffnotes on Greer - she’s a pro-paedophilia, anti-gay, bourgeois feminist author, although her most famous work is about how the patriarchy structures the role of women in a way that denies their sexuality (it’s okay I guess but not particularly ground breaking). When she was doing a talk about that book “the female eunuch” she noticed a woman who’d asked her to sign her copy had hairy hands. Thus began Greer’s crusade against the existence of trans women.
Now former LERFs were having to disguise and tone down the intensity their homophobic views as they became increasingly marginalised, they found their target in trans people since they had not yet entered into the British zeitgeist outside of shitty jokes in sitcoms. Greer’s rhetoric was largely about trans women infiltrating and erasing womanhood and fit well into the transphobic milieu.
The kinds of privately educated failchildren who now fill the heart of this country’s liberal parties are the kindsa people whose views of feminism were informed by that milieu and hence these parties stance on social issues are shaped towards SWERF/TERF rhetoric. While the further right parties are filled with homophobes who’re using the destruction of trans rights as a wedge issue to attack the larger queer movement.
Opinion polls across the UK consistently trend towards a sorta live and let live attitude towards gender identity, but why step out of your insular bubble and see what people actually think when you can just do what you want and then yell “will of the people!” over dissenting voices?
That chubby dragon with the mangled wings is wrecking me in two seconds flat. I was able to no-hit lion dancer, but this things is somehow too fast for me and I get combo-ed to death every time.

You’re like someone trained chatGPT on liberal twitter commenters. You think your smug condescension is scathing but your weak clapbacks echo with the resounding emptiness of your own skull.
0/10 - Return to Reddit, you’ll fit in fine there.
I’m reminded of this map a Blairite drew a couple years back to link Russian interference with “the black community”.
!!Warning!! Extreme cringe
"I hope this post gets a lot of tankie comments. They’ll be flockin’ to a blockin’
Heh. See, cause. It rhymes. So.
The one yesterday had that commenter who was all “what’s this? Oh it took me a second cause I blocked all the tankies” and that’s when I realized I forgot to block lemmy.ml. Now that that’s done, it’s just onsie-twosies. It’s a bright, bright sunshiney day."
Adults in the room, everyone.
I’m in the Bloody Great Big Swamp.
My job is to figure out if it’s a Bloody Great Big Swamp or a Bloody Great Big Swamp.
7·22 days agoThere was this bloke who used to sit at the train station close to the uni I was attending at the time, he’d drink cans of alcohol and do a little trainspotting. We talked a couple of times and he gave me some advice that helped me get out of my shell and talk to people a lot more. I must’ve only chatted with him, like, once or twice but I think it made all the difference in pushing me into making friends in what would otherwise’ve been a very lonely and isolated part of my life.
Not sure if I’d class it as the craziest moment of my life, but it was like a scene out of a sitcom:
When I was a teenager I briefly worked part-time at a place that refurbished various household appliances. Donations came in through the front and ended up in back with very little looking over. We took all sorts in and the workshop floor was split into various departments based on what appliances they dealt with. I was a new hire and they were still cycling me 'round various departments, my least favourite one was when I was assigned to cleaning out used ovens.
One day this box came in and, like, we opened it up and there were various electronic massaging gizmos. So, my supervisor is pulling 'em out, he passes some of 'em to me to give a lookover to make sure they’re clean and do, like, PAT tests and stuff.
I’m plodding along and he gets to work on the rest himself. I’m doing the tests on this thing that’s like a plastic plate with this piece on the top vaguely shaped like a pair of cupped hands, when my supervisor calls me over to lend a hand. He’s got this black tube that goes a bit wider on one end, about as thick as my wrist. It looked kinda like a torch but with a cap screwed over the bit the light’s in.
His hands are a bit slippy so he’s having a hard time unscrewing the cap, so he asked me to have a go. Wider end pointed away from me, I wrapped my hand around the cap and gave it a good twist. The first clue I had that something was amiss was that my supervisor went bright red. I asked him what’s wrong and just told me to see for myself, so I turn the thing in my hand and see this silicone orifice looking back at me.
That was how I learnt what a fleshlight is.
Great! Now you can get a staph infection and have your hay fever act up at the same time. I know that’d improve my mood if I was recovering from surgery.
11·24 days agoI got 95.61% woman. Not sure what that missing 4.39% is. Maybe the spectral penis aura that all TERFs can psychically detect?
NO
Tankie has been shifting way beyond its original meaning to just be a vague leftward stab, but being an anarchist and everything I don’t think it applies to me just yet
3·25 days agoFrom my own brief personal interactions with Vaughan Gething, I got the opinion he’s a bit of a dick.
I feel somewhat validated in my estimations now his sketchy political dealings have come to light.
This is an incredibly bleak view of writing.
Like, that prose exists as an obstacle to understanding the story instead of being part of it and that you can optimise a story into a Wikipedia-ass summary.
All the meaning of a work burnt away for something with all the dryness of an CRPG battle-log.
